Virgie Arthur -- NOT Mother of the Year

Posted Apr 10th 2007 10:44AM by TMZ Staff

We're told Virgie Arthur will be fighting for custody of Dannielynn, whether Birkhead is the dad or not. But when it comes to Arthur's track record in child rearing, it's pretty clear she won't win any awards.

Rewind to 1993. Arthur's son, Donald Ray Hart Jr, then 21-years-old, was busted in Conroe, Texas. But it was anything but an ordinary arrest. Hart was charged with aggravated kidnapping, along with three friends. The victim -- a 33-year-old paraplegic. The abducted woman watched in horror as her kidnappers waived a butcher knife in her direction, and discussed plans to murder her. An informant's tip foiled the plot.

Hart pleaded guilty and was sentenced to six years in prison.

But that's not all. Hart was also convicted of theft -- he pled guilty to stealing a bunch of livestock.

By the way, Arthur's daughter, Anna Nicole, also hated her. So is Arthur the best candidate for custody? You be the judge.

19. A full background ivestigation has been conducted on ALL of the interested parties in this case.

Personally, I don't even know how it's possible for Virgie Arthur to show her face in public ... knowing that LITERALLY EVERYTHING will come out about her and her family.

THIS IS ONLY "ONE" OF THE MANY THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN SWEPT UNDER THE CARPET. TIME TO CLEAN HOUSE!!

21. Since when are parents to be held responsible for their adult children's bad actions ? Please consult any psy who will tell you that children do not always turn out the way you want them. Anna Nicole gave her son to be brought up by her mother for six years: what does that say ? I know wonderful parents whose children became bums and drug addicts, prostitutes, etc. Please stop blaming the parents, wake up. What do YOUR parents think of you who call a mother a fat bitch, do you think they may be proud of you or what ?

22. This is an OPINION PIECE. It is not an objective report. What is the "scoop" TMZ is reporting?

It is VERY CLEAR that Harvey Levin is TERRIFIED of the Stern Team of lawyers.

What a damn shame.

Mr. Levin, you need to grow a pair. This is unfair usage of your website to promote one side of the custody battle. TMZ has no authority to cast judgments on anyone, considering the base and lurid content this site calls "entertainment."

26. If you are a mother and raise your children correctly they will do the right thing regardless of their age..dummie....just show none of her children ever had a mother

27. It's obvious that aaa is the assumed name of Vergie! One of the reasons that Anna Nicloe despised you was your ignorance and racism. Get your GED and leave the poor baby alone! Clean that doublewide while your'e at it.

28. Virgie arthur from what I know form the media, is not fit to raise anna's baby. Anna's wishes should be enforced, she does NOT want virgie anywhere near her daughter..virgie is out for the money dannielynn will acquire let alone the fame that comes along with the baby. Virgie needs to go back to texas and try to manipulate her other kids into rehab and therapy.

29.
Oink, Squeel

The pig is all about money

Posted at 11:12AM on Apr 10th 2007 by Anna Hated Virgie for a reason

30. I wonder where Virgie is getting all this $$$$$$$$ to fight all these battles.....She is Money hungry, plain and simple. I hope Larry gets the baby and keeps her far far away from Granny!
