TMZ has learned that the relationship between Larry Birkhead and Debra Opri was kaput several days ago, and it was Birkhead who ended it.
Today Opri has said that there were things Birkhead wanted her to do that made her uncomfortable. We know Birkhead is saying it was he who was uncomfortable for various reasons.
TMZ is aware of multiple reasons why the two parted company. As we first reported, they were butting heads over various issues for weeks. Because of confidences, TMZ cannot be more specific. But we know that last Tuesday, Birkhead sent Opri an e-mail discharging her.

Opri was probably trying to get LB to accept a deal from HK$ to take the baby and cut Stern in on any future inheritances the baby might get. I don't think LB is going to make any settlements. That baby is his, and he's entitled to get her without strings attached, meaning, NO DEALS with HK$...

Kuddos to Birkhead - Opri is a loud mouth bull dozing man wanna be! AND she was always up Birkhead's azz!!!! I even saw at the funeral where Opri - twice - rubbed Howard to "act" like she cared to console him. Opri is a show boating HORRIBLE excuse of a lawyer! She disgraces all lawyers and is what gives lawyers a bad name. Actually to her the truth is irrelevant, it's how you present the truth. Birkhead made the right move!!

Obviously, there were conflicting opinions on how the paternity suit should proceed. Maybe Opri wanted more time in the spotlight and Larry feels every day that goes by he is losing precious time with his possible child. The merry-go-round has been going on even before ANS passed away. Wonder who he's got lined up?

I feel bad for that baby. She needs some stability in her life. When is she going to get it?

Oh wow!! I hope it's not because Debra Opri refused to "make a deal" with Howard K. Stern regarding handling Dannielynn's financial affairs and Larry Birkhead wanted her to. I'm afraid that's what it is though. Birkhead is going to get burnt if agees to anything with Stern. Stern is bad news (and that's an understatement).

The whole thing is stupid. The baby should be submitted for DNA and whoever the father is should have her. It's all a bunch of nonsense!!

Debra seemed like it was all about money to her. Don't give Stern anything, regardless of how much longer it takes for Larry to get the baby back. Debra is probably a great attorney but she she seemed to lack diplomacy. - Larry is probably willing to let Stern have something just to put an end to it all.

I pray that Larry did not make a deal with stern. Deb was fantastic in the media for him & she was furious when rumors spread HE MADE A DEAL! If anything I believe Larry couldn't handle her strength.
