Birkhead Pulled the Plug

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.

946. I don't think Bahamian law will remove Dannie Lynn from Stern's custody under any circumstances.

The best thing that can be done is to BOYCOTT THE BAHAMAS! These folks who rule under antiquated Old English law need to feel the financial pinch.

948. I guess I would let her go too though if she charges this much, but as bad as it sounds, THEY CAN! Larry better hope he has some money somewhere, and those days and nights in the Bahamas must be costing a fortune too.
WOW I need a new profession. Grin

949. That Jerkhead asshole loves to send emails to women doesn't he? I can't wait until it's safe and Stern's lawyer's show everyone all the sick emails he sent to ANS. It's going to be as good as Amber Frey's taped phone calls from Scott Peterson.

951. I believe that Debra Opri is not an honest Attorney . She hated the fact to get FIRED by Larry Birkhead , getting her out of the case . Her bill presented to Larry was to intimading Him and in the same time to let the MEDIA to write about Her as a Publicity in her advantage . She is a DISGRACE to the other Honest Attorneys whom Represent the AMERICAN LAW & JUSTICE . The Best of Luck for Larry Birkhead , for sure he made the wright decision by Firing Debra Opri . You are going to find out from the DNA that you're the Real Father of Dannielynn . You are a WINNER !!!

955. Good riddance. Larry, find someone honest who isn't going to try to take you for everything you've got. In my opinion, she was in it for the wrong reasons, namely, money and expensive other perks besides her fees. That should be criminal.

956. I am shocked at Opri's bill for representing Larry Birkhead. I think she should be disbarred for a $620 + thousand dollar bill. She is not worth 475.00 an hour. The court systems are rediculous to keep tieing up peoples lives, and dragging this case out for this long. Way to much stress for any person to have to endure this process.
I hope Larry gets the DNA tests results soon, so he can go forward with his life. I think Larry is a good guy.

957. It's all about the mighty $$$$....Correct me if i'm wrong.

958. I pray the Judge in the denies sealling the DNA results. This Baby need's its real Father and soon. Stern knows he is not the Father or he would do the right thing and get this over with. I notice the pictures of Howard he is not all smiles anymore that he can't stick his head in where Anna is being seen. He looks scared as he should. It sure looks like his hands are not clean.

959. Wow surprise, funny how if there is something that put Larry "father of the year" Dickhead in a bad light, you won't report it.....I bet if it was Howard you would have it in Bold Print.......how can you expect to be taken seriously?

I'm a greedy grandma....just watch me spend my grandbaby's money

960. Speaking of unethical behavior!! Opri get's the award. How awful is this to bill her client for these items, so ridiculous. She should be ashamed of herself. Opri didnt have Birkheads best interest, she just tried to capitalize off Birkhead's media attention.

Suprisingly, she is no different than most, yes most attorney's out here. I hope since she billed Burkhead for her own publicity, she can pay her firm to do damage control on this story, This time, she will have to pay for it herself. I would never hire her. Make her the poster child of attorney;s ripping clients off. She is the kind of attorney that would sell you out and down the river. Opri seems like the type of attorney who would strike a deal with the opposition behind your back. Opri cannot be trusted.
