Politician: Anna Nicole Unfit for the Bahamas
Anna Nicole Smith has already been ordered to vacate her Bahamas home by Oct. 31st, and now a politician has questioned whether she’s fit to be a resident of the country at all.
Hubert Ingraham, head of the main opposition Free National Movement and a former prime minister, called upon the government on Wednesday to look into Smith’s legal residency status in the Bahamas, where her son died three days after she gave birth to a daughter in the country, the Associated Press reports.
“Clearly, Anna Nicole Smith is not a fit and proper person to become a permanent resident of the Bahamas,” Ingraham said of the 38-year-old former Playboy model. “Her general character and reputation don’t commend her for such status.”
The law in the Bahamas states that a person owning a house there valued at more than $500,000 and having the means to reside without being employed – and being of good character – can be eligible for residency.
“If she doesn’t own the house, then she would not have met the policy conditions which the government of the Bahamas has with respect to the grant of permanent residence,” Ingraham said of Smith.
G. Ben Thompson, a Myrtle Beach, S.C., developer, says he owns the property in New Providence where Smith has been staying. He told PEOPLE he purchased the house for slightly than $1 million in August as a favor to Smith, whom he befriended after he met her through neighbors in mid-2005.
Smith was supposed to sign a mortgage to buy the house from him, Thompson told PEOPLE, but she refused to do so. “She said it was a gift,” said Thompson. “I never said that. I don’t have that kind of money.”
But Wayne Munroe, a Bahamian lawyer for Smith, told the AP that Smith owns the home: “I’ve physically seen the document that showed the property being conveyed to her.”
Should Smith, who applied for residency based on home ownership, have to leave the Bahamas and return to her home in California, she will have to contend with issues raised in a paternity suit filed by photographer Larry Birkhead, who claims he is the father of Smith’s infant daughter Danielynn. source
