Anna Nicole Smith case: doctor’s drugs problem revealed

One of Anna Nicole Smith’s former doctors detailed his own problems with prescription drugs in explosive diary entries read to a court by the presiding judge.

Superior Court judge Robert Perry read entries from the diary of Sandeep Kapoor, a doctor charged with supplying illegal prescription drugs to Smith before her fatal overdose in 2007.

But prosecutors have alleged the openly gay Kapoor had a sexual relationship with the Playgirl celebrity, an allegation that gained ground with the diary’s account of his kissing Smith at a party.

“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?”

In an entry from November 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).”

According to testimony, Kapoor later prescribed Ambien, for Smith. The drug is a sedative used for the treatment of insomnia. Kapoor, Khristine Eroshevich and Smith’s boyfriend and lawyer Howard K. Stern are charged with conspiring to illegally supply controlled substances to Smith. All three have pleaded not guilty.
