Excerpts:
–However, under questioning by a judge, Dr. Nathalie Maullin said she never used the words “addict” or “addiction” when discussing the celebrity model’s problems with her, her personal doctor Sandeep Kapoor or her boyfriend-lawyer Howard K. Stern.
Maullin, who treated Smith during a brief hospital stay when she was pregnant in April, 2006, was quizzed by Superior Court Judge Robert J. Perry on the addiction issue.
“She was never trying to get high?” he asked.
“I never thought she was trying to get high. I think she wanted to tune out,” the psychiatrist said.
Maullin said she treated Smith when she in apparent withdrawal from pain and anti-anxiety medications. Smith had legitimate pain issues that were being treated with a combination of drugs, she testified.–
