There are so many disputation between lawers Anna Nicole Smith tragic events.The doctors of the late Anna Nicole Smith over-prescribed her a litany of medications that eventually led to her death and crossed boundaries to indulge in "unprofessional" relationships with their patient.
The attorney for a doctor who treated the late model Anna Nicole Smith says Dr. Sandeep Kapoor is openly gay and that Anna Nicole Smith is outraged by claims in search warrant affidavits that he had a sexual relationship with Smith.
Attorney Ellyn Garafalo told The Associated Press on Tuesday that Dr.Kapoor never had a sexual or social relationship with his patient, and a picture of them together which is cited in the affidavits was taken at a gay pride celebration they both attended.
"These search warrant affidavits are based on insufficient information and they are wrong in material respects," Garafalo said in an interview with the AP. "The prime example is that Dr. Kapoor is openly gay and never slept with Anna Nicole Smith or any other woman"
A series of recently unsealed search warrants refers to a video cassette clip shown on the TV show "Inside Edition."

A series of recently unsealed search warrants refers to a video cassette clip shown on the TV show "Inside Edition."
Those documents say the clip "showed Dr. Kapoor and Anna Nicole Smith in a reclined position in a nightclub-type setting. Dr. Kapoor had his shirt off, his arms was around Anna Nicole Smith, and he was kissing and nuzzling Anna Nicole Smith's neck." They quote a consultant to the state medical board as saying the contact on the video "went beyond any therapeutic touching and appeared sexual in nature."
Garafalo said the doctor and patient encountered each other in a bar after a gay pride parade, but did not have an ongoing social relationship.
Garafalo said the mistaken interpretation of the photo is an example of errors that permeated the decision to charge Kapoor with illegally providing Smith with controlled drugs. She said evidence in the case will exonerate Kapoor.
District attorney spokeswoman Sandi Gibbons declined comment saying, "The case has not yet gone to preliminary hearing and it would be inappropriate for us to be making comments outside court."
Another defendant, psychiatrist Khristine Eroshevich, also is accused of an improper sexual relationship with the former Playboy model based on photographs found on a computer of the two women naked together in a bathtub "in various intimate embraces."
Eroshevich's lawyer, Adam Braun, declined to comment directly on the pictures but said that the relationship between Smith and the psychiatrist began as one of friendship and evolved into a patient-doctor relationship. He said they were next door neighbors before Smith moved to the Bahamas.
The complaint against Kapoor and Eroshevich also names Smith's former attorney, Howard K. Stern, as conspiring with the doctors to provide illegal drugs to Smith.
The search warrant affidavits suggest Stern put his name on prescriptions for drugs that were given to Smith, and claim that a total of 44 different medications were prescribed for Smith under a number of other names, including Stern's.
