Anna Nicole’s bodyguard dishes about Stern

NEW YORK - For years, Big Moe protected Anna Nicole Smith and fully supported Howard K. Stern. Now, days after an investigation was opened into the death of the former Playboy playmate, Big Moe tells Access Hollywood he feels betrayed by Howard.

“It’s gotten to the point where I had to say something,” Big Moe told Access Hollywood’s Tony Potts on Tuesday. “I’ve been called a thief and that angers me. . . . I’ve been harassed.”

“By whom?” Potts asked.

“By [Howard’s attorney] Lin Wood and Howard,” he replied. “[They’ve been] sending letters, sending threatening letters.”

Once singing praises for Howard K. Stern, Anna Nicole’s longtime bodyguard Big Moe, now claims Stern is launching a smear campaign against him.

“Has there been pressure on you in the last eight months from Howard to keep you quiet?” Potts asked.

“It hasn’t been just Howard. Of course, they don’t want nothing coming out,” Moe said.

Last week, Stern appeared on the “Larry King Live” show alongside Lin Wood. Moe claims Stern insinuated he leaked recently released photos of Anna Nicole Smith, including one where she appeared to have vomit dripping down her chin.

“He’s gotten on TV [and] called me a thief and a liar,” Moe said. “[He said he] knew I was distributing pictures that should have never been taken in the first place of Anna.

“It’s like a diversion tactic to me,” Moe continued. “Instead of suing and trying to find out who’s selling pictures and who’s calling you gay ...” he trailed off.

As for those allegations within Rita Cosby’s book that claim Larry Birkhead and Stern were lovers, a claim they both deny, Moe, who has worked alongside Stern since 2003, said he never saw anything of that nature.

“I never saw a video, but I can’t be sure it didn’t happen,” he said. “I’ve never seen it.”

“Did you see any behavior that would suggest Howard is gay?” Potts asked.

“I have never seen any behavior that says Howard Stern is gay, but you know, I’m not with him 24/7,” Moe answered.

“Did you ever see him give her drugs?” Potts asked.

“Since we’re being truthful here, yes I have,” Moe said.

“Did he lie?” Tony asked Big Moe.

“He lied about that,” Moe said. “He can’t refute that because I’ve been here all the time.

Drugs, lies and regrets are just a few of the shocking claims unleashed to Access by Smith’s former bodyguard.

“Did you ever see Howard administer anything via needle?” Potts asked.

“Yes,” Moe said.

“What did Howard say was in the needle he was giving her?” Potts then asked.

“B12,” Moe answered.

“Did you believe him?” Potts asked.

“Yes, on some occasions, yes I believed it was B12. On occasion it was something else,” he said.

Calls made to Stern regarding Moe’s drug allegations were not returned.
