Anna Nicole Smith’s scheduled October 31st eviction has been postponed; the former topless model has filed an injunction at the Bahamian Supreme Court, claiming ownership of the million dollar mansion known locally as “Horizons”; whose ownership is also being contested by North Carolina developer G. Ben Thompson.
In a press conference last week, Thompson claims that Smith “never paid a nickel on the house,” and that all the money to “facilitate the purchase” came directly from him. Thompson who admitted having a “short relationship” with Smith now wants her evicted from the property.

Thompson also admitted having no knowledge of Smith’s finances, but was apparently of the opinion that she would have repaid him the money either from photo shoot work, or from the settlement she’s expecting to get from litigation surrounding the estate of her late husband J. Howard Marshall.
Smith claims that Thompson gave her the house “as a gift“; and Thompson’s son-in-law admitted that the deed was “conveyed in her name,” because she “needed utilities to be cut on” but was never recorded.

“We had numerous conversations and I have e-mail correspondents up until the 27th (of October) where she in her e-mails stated that she would start making payments. We told her as far as payment for the house, we did not want her to pay us back the next day. We considered it would take a year for her to pay us back. We told her to pay us when she could but we needed the note and mortgage signed to protect our interest” claims Thompson’s son-in-law.

Outside of the “whose your baby daddy competition“, the Smith scandal is creating significant political embarrassment for the Bahamian government, with the explosive accusation made by Smith’s lawyers that a popular local government minister accepted $10,000 in order to “fast-track” Smith’s Bahamian residency application.
And in related news, Smith has also filed a conflict of interest claim against Nassau based law firm Callenders & Co; who are currently siding with the developer in the battle for Horizons; with Callender’s lead attorney now claiming that an agreement had indeed taken place between Smith and Thompson for her to pay back the mortgage.

Former Playmate Anna Nicole Smith, who recently buried her 20 year old son, days after giving birth to her daughter was ordered to leave her Bahamian residence by Oct. 31, according to People Magazine.
G. Ben Thompson, a US based developer, claims ownership of the property where Smith lived; claiming he purchased the house for her for just under $1 million in August of this year as a favor to Smith, whom he “befriended” after meeting her through neighbors in mid-2005. Thompson says that Smith was supposed to buy the house from him, but Smith says the house was “a gift”.

In related news, California photographer Larry Birkhead, is now claiming paternity of Smith’s new baby and has filed papers in a California court to establish paternity and obtain legal custody of the child. Smith was also served in this matter in the Bahamas, where last week she held a commitment ceremony with her attorney, Howard K. Stern, who also claims to be the baby’s father.
