Anna Nicole Smith claimed her biological father Donald Hogan tried to have sex with her when they reunited for the first time in two decades.
The Playboy model, who died at the age of 39 in 2007 from an accidental drug overdose, is the subject of a new Netflix documentary, Anna Nicole Smith: You Don’t Know Me.
As well as her fame and tragic death, the feature explores Smith’s troubled family background, including her late father, who is described as a ‘monster’ by his own son and Smith’s half-brother, Donnie Hogan.
Smith had been estranged from her father for 24 years before hiring a private detective to track him down after establishing herself in Hollywood and securing campaigns for the likes of Guess Jeans.
The investigators located Hogan, who died of lung cancer at the age of 62 in 2009, and Donnie in California, with Smith immediately booking a flight to reconnect with them.
In archive footage shown in the documentary, Smith, who was born Vickie Lynn Hogan, is seen rushing out of the airport to embrace Hogan and Donnie before taking a limousine to Disneyland to spend the day together.

Smith later invited both her father and brother to a Playboy party in her honour – but after the party, her friend Melissa ‘Missy’ Byrum tells programme makers that Hogan was never seen again.
Donnie, meanwhile, says: ‘I wanted Vickie to know the truth. My father is not a type of guy you want to be alone with or feel safe [with]. You’re not gonna feel safe.
‘I mean, he’s a monster.’

Donnie explains that he was 16 when his father told him he had raped his wife’s sister, who was a child at the time.
According to The Guardian, Hogan pleaded guilty to the rape of Smith’s aunt and another teenage girl and spent six months in jail.
‘He’s very scary. I was always afraid of him,’ Donnie continues.

Following the trip, Missy says she asked Smith how meeting Hogan went but she replied that she didn’t want to talk about it.
Missy continues: ‘When we were alone on the plane, she told me that her father had tried to have sex with her.’
When told about the incident, Donnie tells the documentary producers: ‘He assaulted her? That would be like him. But is it true? It couldn’t be. I was there every step of the way.

‘But you know what I wouldn’t put it past him. I guess I wasn’t there all the time so it could be true.’
