Anna's former bodyguard speaks out on the book's shocking claims.

BIG MOE, the former bodyguard for the late ANNA NICOLE SMITH, has just released a statement on RITA COSBY's shocking new book, which claims that romantic rivals LARRY BIRKHEAD and HOWARD K. STERN were actually lovers.

"After reading portions of Ms. Cosby's book, I wish to state for the record, I have never met Ms. Cosby, outside a brief encounter at Anna Nicole Smith's funeral," the statement reads. "Any quotes in her book, referring to Moe, Big Moe, or Anna Nicole Smith's bodyguard, are not from me. As I continue to mourn over the deaths of my two dear friends, Anna and DANIEL, I do not endorse Ms. Cosby's attempts to exploit lies and grief into profit. As we face the future, one day, the truth will be told."
