Doctor wrote about kissing Anna Nicole in diary
LOS ANGELES — One of Anna Nicole Smith’s doctors worried about his own drug use and his professionalism after he kissed her and prescribed her highly addictive drugs, according to his diary, which was read in court.
Superior Court Judge Robert J. Perry read the explosive entries from Dr. Sandeep Kapoor’s diary Wednesday at a preliminary hearing to determine whether Kapoor, Smith’s boyfriend Howard K. Stern and her psychiatrist Khristine Eroshevich should stand trial on charges of illegally funnelling drugs to the former Playboy model.
The hearing is scheduled to continue Thursday.
Kapoor’s lawyer previously said he was gay and objected to prosecutors’ allegations that he had a sexual relationship with Smith that could have contributed to his prescribing drugs for her.
However, Kapoor’s June 13, 2005, diary entry appeared to confirm what prosecutors said they saw in video and photographs taken at a party around that time. The judge has ruled against showing the video in court.
“I was making out with Anna, my patient, blurring the lines,” the judge read from Kapoor’s diary. “I gave her methadone, Valium. Can she ruin me?”
The entry also recounted his ride with Smith in a gay pride parade before the party, with six police officers keeping back the paparazzi. “It was mesmerizing. … Anna and me up there all buffed out on the car,” the entry said.
In an excerpt from Nov. 17, 2002, Kapoor wrote, “I also need to get off the drugs. The Buspar, Wellbutrin have to go. But first the Ambien has got to go. Oh God, it’s so addicting. I have to get off that (expletive).”
Buspar is an anti-anxiety drug, while Wellbutrin is used to treat depression. Ambien is used to counter insomnia.
Kapoor later prescribed Ambien for Smith, according to testimony.
Earlier in the day, a medical board investigator testified that Kapoor kept a hidden stash of Smith’s medical records in his home that included references to possible drug addictions.
Investigators found files containing Smith’s medical records hidden in the kitchen and on the floor of a closet in the doctor’s home after Smith died, investigator Jon Genens said.
Authorities later seized another set of records at the office of Kapoor’s attorney. All the records were either in the name of Smith or Michelle Chase, a pseudonym she used, Genens said.
The two sets of files were for the same dates but included slightly different information, he said.
Perry said the secreting of information at the house could be interpreted as “guilty knowledge.” He did not elaborate.
