Anna was addicted: baby dad

LOS ANGELES — Anna Nicole Smith’s baby daddy, Larry Birkhead, told a court yesterday that he thought the Playboy model was taking too many drugs before she died — including while she was pregnant with their daughter, Dannielynn.

“I felt she took medication in excess,” he testified at a preliminary hearing to see if Smith’s former doctors, Sandeep Kapoor and Khristine Eroshevich, and her lawyer, Howard K. Stern, should stand trial for giving her too much prescription medication before her 2007 death.

“I felt like she was addicted to methadone,” Birkhead said.

He said Stern was always asking her if she had taken her meds. Birkhead also testified that Smith had bottles of methadone in the house.
