According to Wikipedia:
“Anna Nicole Smith was born in
Houston,
Texas as
Vickie Lynn Hogan. When she was very young, her family moved to
Mexia, a small town 79
miles (127
km) south of
Dallas. Her father left the family when Smith was a child and she was raised by her mother and aunt.”
Well, you are RIGHT about her aunt, but at least one site claims her mother was involved in the raising of Vicki (A*K*A Anna).

“E! wasted no time following suit, asking Smith to star in what would become the "The Anna Nicole Show," documenting the daily life of Smith, her personal attorney, Howard K. Stern (not to be confused with the famed radio personality), her young, pink-haired assistant Kim Walther, her yappy dog Sugar Pie and her surprisingly well adjusted straight-A-student son, Daniel. Although audiences were frequently amused by Smith's over-the-top antics, they were also frequently appalled by her druggy demeanor, ever-expanding figure and slurry Southern drawl. As the series neared the end of its run in 2004, Smith used her newfound fame to team with the diet drug TrimSpa and quickly returned to her original svelte, sexy shape, and while she appeared more lucid in public appearances than she had in the past, she would still sometimes make headlines for her often out-of-it behavior, such as when she presented an award to Kanye West (after appearing in one of the artist's music videos) at the American Music Awards in 2004.
In 2005 the TV personality also ultimately lost her appeal to claim a greater share of Marshall's fortune, but as a favorite subject of the tabloids she found a new gig as a regular columnist for a revamped version of the venerable
National Enquirer.”

While nothing seems to mention the details of the show, I did watch it on occasion. And I never really remembered anything said *nice* about Vicki’s mother, but I do remember one fat cousin saying her mother (Anna’s aunt) raised her and they grew up together. And once the show started on E! she had yet to visit her (the cousin) and her family & she seemed genuinely hurt by it. I also remember a *SKINNY* cousin (compared to Anna during the show) who was obviously white trash, was accused by Howard and eventually by Anna that she was just using Anna to make a name for herself.
