Virgie Arthur -- NOT Mother of the Year

Virgie ArthurWe'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.

46. I guess it's just NOT BAD ENOUGH all the horrible, disgusting, and mean things that have been said .............

BUT, FOR BLOGGERS TO SIT ON THEIR IGNORANT ASSES AND START SAYING THAT "DANIEL SMITH is the FATHER" ......... IT'S BEYOND OUTRAGEOUS & PATHETIC!

This site should be taken down!

47. I think Anna's wishes shoudl be carried out. She did not want her mother to have anything to do with Dannielynn and I believe for good reason but none of us really know what kind of parent Vergie is or was except Anna and I think she has made it very clear thta she does not wish to have Dannielynn exposed to that

48. number 5... if you think virgie deserves any kind of good press I can just imagine what your image of a good person is... ugh! Atleast Howard didnt try to stop his rotting friend, lover whatever from being buried unlike her own MOTHER! Sick.

51. How the hell can you blame the mother for what a grown a$$ child does? TMZ give me a break.

52. TMZ you can write whatever lie you want, it is only the judge who will decide who will get custody of Danniellyn, they did a background check with all the parties so SHUT UP HARVEY and just report facts.

53. OH WOW, ISNT THAT SOMETHING! VIRGIE MAKES MY SKIN CRAWL I KNOW HER AND LARRY ARE CLOSE HOWEVER I'M STILL ON LARRY'S SIDE BUT SOMETHING ABOUT VIRGIE DURING THE COURTROOM TESTIMONIES MADE ME THINK THERE WAS MAYBE SOME TRUTH TO WHAT ANNA WAS SAYING. SHE'S TRAILER TRASH AND WE ALL KNOW WHAT THE MAJORITY OF THOSE PEOPLE CAN BE LIKE. SHE GIVES THEM A BAD NAME IF THERE ARE DECENT PEOLE WHO LIVE IN A TRAILER- NOT TRYING TO BE STEREOTYPICAL. SHE SHOULD NOT HAVE THAT BABY PERIOD SHE SHOULD BE WITH HER DADDY AND THAT'S THAT SADLY HER MOTHER IS DEAD. IM NOT AGAINST SOMEONE BEING CLOSE TO THEIR GRANDMA I'M VERY CLOSE TO MINE BUT WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A PERSON LIKE VIRGIE THEN THATS A DIFFERENT STORY AND DANNIELYNN SHOULD BE PROTECTED WHICH I FEEL LARRY WILL DO.

NOW TMZ HOPEFULLY THIS POST OR DOSENT DISAPPEAR FROM THE POST SINCE I DO AGREE WITH YOU ON THIS.

54. To #7

I agree with you. How can it be Virgie's fault that her 21-year-old son chose to commit a crime. Wouldn't it be nice if nothing we did as adults were our fault, and we could just blame it on mom.

Yes, she probably was lacking in the mother department but to suggest that this was her fault is absurd. If you will recall, Virgie dedicated her career to arresting criminals. She was a police officer for many years. Believe it or not - children of law enforcement officers are capable or being criminals. That doesn't mean it's the parents' fault.

55. Harvey LEVIN has shown his true colors. What can we expect from the man who persecutes Mel Gibson? The tribe sticks together.

56. Sorry people but you can't hold Virgie responsible for her adult son's actions. Many parent's raise their children to be upstanding people, it's not their fault what they turn out to be. Give it a rest, already.

57. If Larry is the father he should automatically gain custody of Dannielynn. If he isn't I would rather see Howard keep her than Virgie. I don't dislike Virgie, I just don't think she is a good mother. Go Larry! Go Larry!

58. Vergie will love her grandbaby, she is next of kin. Who are all you that will find fault with her, and throw a loving mother figure away, all she has in the world but $. $ killed her brother and mother, let Howard have it,split it with Larry and leave this mother to her child. Have we all lost our souls? It seems those in the Bahamas think blood ties of value.

59. I CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE - VIRGIE LIKE BONNIE SAID YOU MAKE ME SICK - I HAVE HATED YOU SINCE YOU WENT TO DANIELS GRAVE BECAUSE YOU GOT PAID. YOU DIDNT SHOW UP WHEN ANNA NEEDED YOU MOST. THE DAY HER SON DIED. IF YOU CARED AT ALL LET IT GO. YOU LET ANNA GO YEARS AGO. MONEY WILL NOT AND DOES NOT BUY HAPPINESS. ANNA WAS HAPPY AND IN LOVE WITH HOWARD. YOU ARE A ROTTEN NO GOOD PATHETIC PARENT AND HUMAN. I HATE YOUR GUTS. I HOPE YOU DROP DEAD WHEN THEY REVEAL HOWARD IS THE FATHER.

60. You know, I saw Virgie on a talk show just a few days after Anna died and she said she did NOT want to raise the child, she didn't say she wanted to see her, and didn't seem sincere at all. All she wanted to do was correct the way she had been portrayed in the media by Anna and Howard, and NOW, after all these weeks she wants custody. Unbelieveable.
