Cosby releases audio to back up book claims

Bain said one of the reasons the author tried to set up a meeting with Anna Nicole’s former nannies, was to finally speak to them. He claimed Cosby did not speak with them before her book “Blonde Ambition: The Untold Story Behind Anna Nicole Smith’s Death” was published.

“The main (reason why) she wanted to set up this meeting with these nannies (was) so that she could actually say and look good — that she actually spoke to these girls when really she never spoke to them before,” he told Van Susteren. “So the main thing she wanted (was) a meeting with them.”

Bain also claimed Cosby told him she was offering the nannies money, to get them to America to help out with the libel suit.

“She said, ‘I came to offer them $1,000 to share, so that they can come to the U.S. and testify against Howard K. Stern,’ on her behalf, so they can give her an affidavit, saying that Howard K. Stern and Larry Birkhead had sexual encounters and they were gay and a number of other things she required of this $1,000,” Bain told Van Susteren.

Bain said he then contacted Thompson, the attorney for the nannies. After refusing the offer, Bain claimed she suggested they “expose” Cosby.

Bain, who is also a Bahamian TV presenter, said he then went about setting up a “sting operation” that he told Van Susteren he modeled after Dateline NBC’s “To Catch A Predator” series. Bain claimed he met with Cosby in the Bahamas, though she was not aware she was being recorded until an argument broke out.

“She didn’t know at any time until after we had an altercation,” he told Van Susteren. “We had a fight. So she continued to try to bribe me, even after this altercation when the police left, she’s still trying to bribe me. She’s still on tape, trying to bribe me, saying she’s gonna put me on the cover of a magazine and all these lies.”

Bain claimed Cosby’s bribe was via a $15,000 offer from In Touch Weekly magazine for the nannies’ story.

“She was (talking) about In Touch magazine and then she continued to try and bribe me,” he claimed. “She was supposed to leave right after this fight and go to the airport and leave, but she didn’t leave. ... She continued to call me, leave messages on my phone, asking me if I accept the proposal for $15,000 from this magazine.”

“She basically was offering us $15,000 and stressing that it can’t come from her, it has to come from (her friend) Tom, ‘cause she’s trying to keep herself clean. And after making the offers, that’s when I called the media out. When we finished the conversation, I called the media out and she got caught red handed.”

In Touch Weekly released a statement to Access Hollywood last week, responding to the issue.

“We were approached by a party about paying to speak to Anna Nicole’s nannies. We said we wouldn’t pay for the story but would be interested in talking to them and maybe open to licensing photos of the nannies with Anna Nicole,” the statement read.
