A lawyer for two nannies who worked for Anna Nicole Smith say that Rita Cosby falsely used them as a source in her book for a claim that Howard K. Stern had a videotaped sexual encounter with Larry Birkhead.

Quethlie Alexis and Nadine Alexie, who worked as nannies for Smith in the Bahamas, never spoke to the author of the book, former MSNBC host Rita Cosby, attorney Elizabeth Thompson said. Furthermore, they never spoke about a sexual encounter between Smith’s former lover, Stern, and Birkhead, the father of her child.

"They don't know one way or another if it happened," Thompson told the Associated Press.

Cosby's book, Blonde Ambition: The Untold Story Behind Anna Nicole Smith's Death, states that the nannies, accompanied by a lawyer, told a private investigator that Smith liked to sit in bed and watch a videotape of Birkhead and Stern having a sexual encounter.

Cosby admits that she never spoke to the nannies but stands by her book, which also attributes the claim of a sexual encounter to a friend of Smith's.

"We have a number of sources," she said. "We have it attributed directly to a private investigator who specifically said that."

Stern has called the claim "ridiculous," and last week filed a $60 million libel lawsuit against Cosby and her publisher.. An attorney for Birkhead has said he also plans to file a lawsuit.

Smith died of an accidental drug overdose in Florida in February at age 39.
