Keep in mind; the term ârapeâ can have several meanings, (i.e.: violent, destructive or abusive treatment; forcefully sending or carrying someone away).
Anna was passionate when she made her video taped accusations. She was a dramatic actress, although she never got the credit she deserved, especially for this; she was mostly made fun of, she was âthe clownâ after all.
She would exaggerate, but not tell outright lies.
I believe her first, and most overwhelming concern, was to protect Dannielynn.
She did not want her family to gain custody or have visitation.
She wanted to destroy their credibility, to stave off an attempt to redeem themselves, to beg forgiveness (letâs just make up and love, we didnât really mean to hurt you baby), or to make any future contact and persuasively influence Dannielynn.
She was fighting for her rights and she was fighting for Dannielynn. I remember her statement, âYou will not touch my baby.â
She knew Larry Birkhead was a lover boy (insincerely sweet and mostly naĂŻve), and he would let Virgie and family have access to emotionally damage this child with âtheir memories,â and to pet and âkiss her all over the mouth.â
Anna had already lost her first child.
I believe she was desperate and willing to say âanythingâ to save her child from any possibility of harm.
Anna wanted only the best, and she wanted only the best for Dannielynn.

Freida I do hope you are not implying that Anna’s allegations of rape were just made up .. what reason would she have, she was still alive and definately did NOT forecast passing away and leaving such a heap of a mess for Howard to clean up. I highly doubt she forecasted the plot that would someday reveal the story of the childhood she was forced to live.
The setting in which Anna revealed she was harmed in the worst way possible by a family that now claims a sterling reputation, indicates that she had enough of covering their @$$ and no longer held the last bit of respect she could muster, hence losing her “cool” and unloading the demons that have haunted her forever.
(((Do you blame her? Her mother took it upon herself to sprawl out on Daniels grave, as well as take her voice to the media airwaves and condemn Anna and question those that Anna trusted most, what sort of mother does that? If Vergie honestly cared for Anna & Daniel no amount of calls or there lack of would have stopped her from camping out on her door step in hopes of embracing her and just being the mom she claims to be.. obvious Anna knew the truth while the spectator took their sweet time seeing the truth and not the sensationalism fed to them)))))
If Anna had “made this up” why would she not have used it as a PR move early on, the old story “from beaten rags to riches” story may have actually gained more respect for her via the spectators and media outlets.
Anna demonstrated CLASSIC signs of childhood abuse. Her own sexuality, her behaviour regarding sex and relationships, every aspect of her oozed the past abuse she suffered at the hands of someone(s) that should never have betrayed her.
Those that question whether Annas claims are true, bless you all for not being at the hands of abuse, bless those that are untarnished by the evils another can cause.
But for those that KNOW what its like, and could see without a shadow of a doubt, Anna spoke the hurt, the pain, the shame that THAT FAMILY caused her.
If she had spoken out long before maybe she would not have ended where she did, maybe if she had reached further for those supporting her maybe each person that could relate could add their gentle hug to her broken spirit….
Could have, Should have, Would have…….
How dare those untarnished blessed ppl assume something sooo harmful could not befall another ….May they NEVER know the vast emotions hinged on such harm, may they NEVER know the shame and bruised ego that goes hand in hand with harm … .may more ppl become sympathetic to those that have been harmed..and may those ppl try harder to put a stop to it … to save a life ..

Havana I think you may have misinterpreted Freida.
Freida says:
She would exaggerate, but not tell outright lies.
In no way, shape, or form, did Freida claim Anna was lying about her abuse and rape.
Havana says:
If Anna had âmade this upâ why would she not have used it as a PR move early on, the old story âfrom beaten rags to richesâ story may have actually gained more respect for her via the spectators and media outlets.
Here it appears you are spinning it to mean that Freida claimed Anna was lying.
I dont necessarily agree with Freida that Anna exaggerated any of her abuse (verbal, physical, sexual, emotional, etc). But I don’t think Freida was minimizing anything Anna went through, just stating her opinion and feelings…in which Freida feels it is possible Anna portrayed her abuse very dramatically to protect her child. Hopefully I clarified things here.

HaVaNa,
Can’t you see.
This ‘man’ had most of the burden to ‘bear.’
Mercy.

Dear Art,
Vickie was a brat and a bully…She was indulged in superficial beauty!
Much respect, and in retrospect, hind sight is 20/20.
Delve into Hefner, and old man Marshall, and their insane knowledge of child development and Daniel, of course, there are many more to blame, including his mom, which explains why she didn’t live very long.
But, the men felt justified, so they lived long…
Hefner, Marshall…Dirty ‘Filthy-rich,’ WELL EDUCATED old men.
Mothers ‘need’ to care for their own children and they alone own the responsibility, and outcome of children.
When you know the truth, the truth can set you free.
Men can do as they please.

“ad” The first paragraph was directed towards Freida, the rest as this is a public blog was for general reading. (to explain how I arrived to my conclusion that the confession made by Anna was not derived from any entertainment purposes nor false intentions)
It is pleasant to view you jumping in defense of Freida, I have had many converstations & debates with her lovely self and if I personally had a need to discuss a direct converstation futher with her I am sure I would have the means to do so.
I am glad the media’s lynching tactics have taught virtual strangers to be more protective of strangers. The need to ensure each self is well guarded from harm, and that facts & truth be used as the shield to ensure no harm comes to an innocent.
This tragic tale of Anna does pluck at the heart strings and definately makes those whom have compassion want to teach compassion. KUDOS Virtual Stranger KUDOS
and Freida I notice with your next entry there were no hurt feelings in regards to my brief paragraph to you. I am glad and do hope that you did take the time to read the rest of what I had put down
I look forward to your next entry.

Dear Art,
Returned to reread your latest.
Hmm, and I see Freida is as passionate in her beliefs as ever
Yes, the truth can and will set you free.
Cheers!

Passionate is not a ggod word to use to describe ANS when she made those videos. She was high and impaired. The sad part is that she is not to be believed as she was so out of touch with reality that nothing she said could be believed. HKS knew this as well and he took advantage, yet again, of what he thought to be a golden opportunity to remove everyone from her life. I truly believe that Daniel would have ended the relationship that ANS had with her enabler HKS had he lived long enough.
