Renewed Suspicion Surrounds Anna Nicole Smith's Relationship with Doctors

Suspicion of medical malpractice abounds after affidavits concerning Anna Nicole Smith's death were unsealed this week. The documents, submitted to a Los Angeles court, include revealing photographs and videos that show Smith engaged in unprofessional and inappropriate behavior with both her psychiatrist and internist.

Dr. Khristine Eroshevich, Smith's psychiatrist, was shown in photographs naked and, according to the affidavits, in "intimate embraces" with Smith. When asked about Eroshevich's sexual relationship with Smith, the psychiatrist's attorney said that his client did all that she could to help her friend and patient get through the loss of her child.

Also included in the search warrant affidavit was a video showing the former playboy model's internist, Dr. Sandeep Kapoor, interacting in a sexual way with Smith in a nightclub. Kapoor's legal party refuted allegations of any unprofessional conduct. "Dr. Kapoor is openly gay and was at the time and there will be no evidence of any social interaction except that one day at the gay pride parade when they were both there,"said Kapoor's attorney Ellyn Garofalo.

Smith's sexual trysts with her physicians were of interest to the court because of the way in which the model died in a Florida hotel room in 2007—an accidental overdose of over nine different medications. The affidavits alleged that both Eroshevitch and Kapoor aided Smith in obtaining a lethal combination of drugs that lead directly to her untimely death.

Eroshevich, Kapoor, and Smith's companion and attorney at the time of her death, Howard K. Stern , all pleaded not-guilty to charges related to Smith's death in May.
