Bahama Lawyer Deletes Anna Nicole from Client List
Anna Nicole Smith's lead attorney down in the Bahamas (not Howard K. Stern -- who knew there were more?), Michael Scott, quit Wednesday. Maybe even those close to Anna Nicole are uncomfortable with her decision to marry (in a non-legally binding comittment ceremony) primary lawyer/lap dog, Howard K. Stern, less than three weeks after the death of her 20-year-old son, Daniel? Mourning period and honeymoon at once, awkward for everyone.
USA Today reports that Scott left feeling "unsettled" and cited his reason for leaving as "a disagreement on a commercial transaction made it difficult for us to remain as counsel."
Who knows what exactly made Scott feel dirty enough to leave, but he wasn't shy about commenting on the nature of his exit, saying, "It was not really an amicable parting."
Well, it does show some restraint that he didn't come off with something like "after watching Howard Stern sleaze his way onto Anna Nicole's heavily medicated ring finger, I may never feel ethical again."
