Anna Nicole Slapped With Fraud Suit

Larry BirkheadOne of the men claiming to be the father of Anna Nicole Smith's newborn daughter is mounting a legal attack in the Bahamas.

In a statement made outside the Los Angeles County Courthouse today, Larry Birkhead's attorney, Debra Opri, said that Birkhead has filed a claim, alleging fraud and conspiracy against Anna Nicole, her lawyer-lover, Howard K. Stern, and the Registrar who certified the baby girl's birth certificate.

In court documents filed today, Birkhead alleges that Stern, with Smith's permission, fraudulently represented that he was the father by signing the birth certificate. Opri says Anna and Howard have 14 days to respond to her client's claim.

This newest development opens the door to force a paternity test in the Bahamas. Birkhead has already filed legal papers in Los Angeles asking a judge to force the issue.

721. ~ CLOSED HEARING IN ANNA NICOLE SMITH CASE ~

Posted at 10:33AM on Nov 10th 2006 by Opinion

722. On the TMZ comment site, "Anna Nicole's True Baby Daddy" ..... I posted a comment about Anna's Bahamian attorney and his stance on DNA paternity testing. This attorney believes that his client (the supposed bio daddy) should RESIST taking the DNA test at all costs, and if the man "willingly" agrees to the DNA test, he has to find a different attorney to represent him. I believe this attorney had advised Anna to RESIST the DNA test, and under NO circumstances voluntarily agree to it.

I believe Anna WAS dragging out the pregnancy thing and the paternity identification as a money making ploy ... a tease of her viewing audience .... but this scheme went in directions she never anticipated.

I personally do not believe that Anna and Howard ever had sex before the baby girl's birth.

Regarding the ET interview (that never ends), I agree that it is not the golden egg they thought it would be, and is losing it's shine, and viewer interest. I think it is weird the way the 3 hour interview has been chopped up and edited by ET and by The Insider. It is weird that both CBS shows say "Exclusive", and "you will only see it here". And both shows present different versions of clips. I have noticed that The Insider deletes references to "Mark" (of ET). And The Insider omits words and phrases in Anna's sentences, that are included on the ET clips.
It's like the 2 CBS shows are in competition for this clipped up, shredded Anna interview.

723. That mess is just creepy. With that said, does anyone believe that HKS and ANS have been in a relationship for a very long time? They are making even bigger jokes of themselves than ever before!

724. That would be way f'd up, dating someone who's got someone your own age there buzzing around like a fly on the wall. Ick. I couldn't even imagine their lives. Even if LB's motivation is money he seems to be the only one truly concerned about this baby.

And by the way, if anyone needs them made or copied or whatever I'll do it and send it out. Let me know. I remembered that question but forgot to answer it. LOL

725. Patty, do you have any recordings of Atty Debra Opri's press conferences?

I sure wish I could find an outlet that shows the full, unedited press conference, instead of just bits and pieces on Nancy Grace, Rita Crosby, Greta Van Susteren, Catherine Crier. I never know which tv show is gonna show us a tiny clip?

726. Brandi C. I don't believe ANS and HKS are in a relationship NOW or EVER. HKS has proven himself to be Anna's lap dog, waiting in the wings for a morsel of food to drop on the floor, so he can savor any crumb that he can get. I have seen (a certain type) of man act this way around a women that he worships.....for love....or money....obsession, or all of the above. He's proven this behavior on her reality show, he was always there...no explanation as to why...just ALWAYS there, accepting anything that ANS was up to...and accommodating her, like a slave...it was pathetic to watch.

What ever HKS motive is, he was there when she got herself into this situation and needed his help. He saw an opportunity and he took it. LB truly believes that he is the baby's father, HKS also believes that is a strong possibility (Howie was there when Anna had a relationship with LB).
HKS has plenty of motive to discredit LB...jealousy....fear of losing control of Anna....fear of losing ANS settlement from her late husbands estate.
HKS clearly had an obsession with ANS from the beginning...who graduates Law School, joins a Law Firm then runs off with their first client?
HKS would say and do ANYTHING to be a part of Anna's life, even if that means to purger himself and falsely sign the baby's birth certificate....FAKE their relationship......ANYTHING !
ANS stated 'live' on a radio program, 'No, Howard is my Lawyer, he is NOT my type'. When asked about there relationship.
As far as Daniel and HKS having animosity between each other......where is the source of this information, I have not heard or read about this?
The conversation Daniel and HKS had about Daniels virginity at 19, was the only information, that gave an indication that there was a great lack of respect for Daniel....if HKS was teasing Daniel.....He had a GOOD come back, and he showed Howie that he is NO ones fool, and put HKS in his place, with his response. That information was NONE of HKS business, I mean really, how dare he...and what is the matter with Anna (DUH !!!) allowing ANYBODY to speak like that to her child.
If Daniel was straight, gay, bi or whatever....it has NOTHING to do with him being a virgin or not, AND it was a horrendous invasion of Daniels privacy and dignity, for HKS to be that insensitive to even go there.
Only Daniel has the answer ............... he no longer has a voice to defend himself....................................................
Does anybody have information as to why Daniel and HKS stayed all night in Anna's hospital room? The room had only one bed and a chair...enough to accomodate one person and one visitor (not all night).
Daniel had a long flight from CA to Bahamas, and he wasn't feeling well, so (you'd think) that his mother would tell HKS to drive Daniel back to the house so he can get some rest. They could have returned in the morning, is Anna that insecure that she needs people around the clock by her side? Did she need Howie to administer her (medication)? I find that odd and incredibly selfish...but IN character !

727. LARRY KING LIVE INTERVIEW HOWARD SAYS THEY LOVE EACH OTHER THEN GOES ON LATER TO SAY HE LOVES HER AND HOPES SHE LOVES HIM

KING: Another e-mail from Karen in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, "Why has Anna Nicole been so secretive about who the father of her new daughter is?"

STERN: Well, I'm going to tell you that right now. Anna and I have been in a relationship and we love each other and it's been going on for a very long time and because of my relationship as her lawyer, we felt that it was best to keep everything hidden. And we've actually done a pretty good job of that.

If you read post #729.......you will see his contridiction.......

728. TREE TREE ....................... Everything they say contradicts their previous statments in one form or another. You know, it makes me wonder.......ANS was able to get her "wedding" dress made in 48 hours (at the most). Then she had to wait like 39 days to have her funeral dress made. What a load of crap they are trying to serve up!

729. PATTY AND WHOM EVER IT MAY CONCERN

I think just one of the people who could use copies of the various inconsistent statements we all have found is Anna`s mom......possibly via Nancy Grace........not to mention Opri....the Island Authorities......ET and so and so on....... Possibly they have already picked up on these but there are so many. As long as it is based on
fact and in their words as well as actions. I have to wait to get printer repair estimate.....I may just get a new one.......I say print them up put them in a big gold envelope and mail them off..........nice little early christmas gift!

Who knows from what I understand Mexia, Texas is a small town, I will check that out, I just bet the whole town knows who Anna`s mom is including the Post Office....You could probably get it to her with just her name, town and Zip!! I will do some checking on address for her.

HEY SHE SAID BRING IT ON!!! I TAKE THAT AS A CHALLENGE!!

730. I've read through all of your comments, that's right I did say ALL. And I must say, there are many interesting theories here.
Somebody said that Anna had a miscarriage, and the child was Larry's.
Does anyone know if there is medical documentation that attest to this? And if so, has a medical staff member witnessed Larry accompanying Anna to the physicians office? The same question applies to her pregnancy while carrying her daughter.

731. Brandi C........I know what you mean they make me sick too.......If it were not for Daniel and his little sister we could just laugh it off!! If only!!

I feel like a know far more than I ever wanted to. But all of you who are just as sick of all this and the interviews s I am...........just remember how their words are already being used against them. Can you just imagine how it will be played out in a courtroom? They should of kept mum on EVERYTHING but their GREED AND NEED FOR SYMPATHY has gotten the best of them!

732. ~TREE TREE

I found ANS mothers address and phone. She is listed on the Internet. I don't want to violate her right to privacy by printing that information.
......Just passing on, that is it attainable.
