More collateral damage in the train-wreck saga of Anna Nichole Smith.
Shane Gibson resigned as immigration minister of the Bahamas Sunday amid intensifying allegations that he gave the late Playmate special treatment in her quest for permanent residency in the island nation.
The announcement came a week and half after Smith's death and just six days after the Tribune of Nassau published front-page photos of Gibson embracing Smith while they were in bed.
Although the two were fully clothed and Gibson insisted the shots were snapped by Smith companion Howard K. Stern in good fun, the images provided more fodder for critics of the immigration minister, who say he improperly fast-tracked Smith and Stern's residency applications. The two became citizens last fall, shortly before the birth of Smith's daughter, Dannielynn. |
