In an almost comic “not that there’s anything wrong with that” Seinfeldian defense, the author of an Anna Nicole Smith biography insisted yesterday that a $60 million lawsuit accusing her of defamation is baseless because it’s acceptable to have gay sex and videotape it.
TV journalist Rita Cosby wrote in her 2007 book “Blonde Ambition: The Untold Story Behind Anna Nicole Smith’s Death” that Smith attorney and confidante Howard K. Stern and Larry Birkhead, the father of Smith’s daughter, had a sexual encounter at a private party.
“I am at a loss to understand how these statements, even if false, would defame [Stern],” Cosby responded in a federal court document.
“There is little support for the conclusion that Howard should be held in low esteem because he may be bisexual or even gay.”
