Celebrity Justice
Opri to Birkhead -- You Done Me Wrong

Debra Opri railed on ex-client Larry Birkhead today, claiming that she got the father of Anna Nicole Smith's baby a million-dollar media deal -- but didn't get bupkis.

Opri appeared via telephone on "The Big Story with John Gibson" and went wild, lashing out at Larry Birkhead, claiming he has publicly smeared her and has destroyed her "good name." Opri claimed she got Birk the baby and made him popular and she deserves to be paid.

Opri defended her humongous legal bill, saying she earned it. Last night on FOX's "On the Record," Greta asked Birkhead who he would like to have dinner with more -- Opri or Virgie Arthur. Birkhead replied that he couldn't afford to have dinner with Opri, so Virgie won by default.

514. Opri is a mess...what Lawyer talks the way she does..she is ripping him off with the money she took and placed in a special account for herself...Its his money...and she milked the publicity out of this...his baby was won by the lawyers in the Bahamas not her. She really pad that bill and she looks real bad right now..On the Gibson show she was a jerk and the audience knew she was lying..she better settle this quick as she lost credibilityand respect..sure she deserves something but not what she is asking. I have heard they are investigating her in LA...the Judge will cut that bill and if she gets 1/4 of that bill she will be lucky........look what happened to the Hass case she lost that one...

515. She may look bad now ? I respect her for not backing down to Larry or Stern and feel she is tough and this Larry "AW shucks " stuff was a ploy . I think the real Larry who know keeps changing his tune about everything should have settled this with Opri instead of leaking it out to TMZ. I can not understand where you people think it is ok to live in a house yu never paid for and not pay your bills. I pay my bills and my mortgage so and if I ever needed a lawyer I woud have looked at what needed to be signed and paid what was expected .................imo

516. It's a down right shame that Larry now thinks he's part of the hollywierd elite and doesn't have to pay his bills. I've lost a great deal of respect for the man. And, after reading the court docs truly believe that Larry duped many people; and most of all is own lawyer who shelled out big bucks to get him his daughter.

517. She is a loser, was a loser and made a fool out of herself. She is disgusting. What I want to know though, is why no news on Howard K. Stern lately?

518.
I wasn't that crazy about Opri, but now that we all see Larry for what he is, we like him less. He probably wouldn't have gotten that baby if it hadn't been for Opri's fighting for him, and dressing him up. She even paid for having his filthy apartment cleaned, and paid for the baby's layette and furniture. She was told she was coming to "their home too much" by Larry's boyfriend
when she was trying to get it ready for the inspection so Larry could get the baby. Larry showed his true colors after he got the DNA results, when he turned on Mrs. Arthur, Anna's mother, who had supported him, he fired Opri, and hooked up with his true enemy, Howard Stern. Now, instead of protecting the baby, he has allowed Howard, who was with Anna and with Daniel when they died, to take over the estate. Larry is a fool, and not worthy of the baby, and he forced Virgie to spend money to see the baby. She still hasn't had any quality time with the baby. Now Larry has taken the baby to LA. He told the judge he was setting up a good home for her in Kentucky. Larry should have hired people to protect the baby's interests. Opri has a right to be disgusted with Larry. He is disloyal and shallow. Howard is worse.

519. Who the hell cares? They are both money grubbing, publicity seeking lowlifes.

They let ce say whatever she wants and boot others for questioning ce, wtf. Most of the other chatters dont care for ce but are afraid to say anything.

521. REMEMBER, the words of the late Johnnie Cochran at the O J Simpson Trial, "if the glove don't fit, you MUST ACQUIT"!

MY words to His Royal Highness, Larry Birkhead:

"IF Opri's invoices fit, YOU MUST REMIT!

522. Sorry Larry, but you need to pay up. You signed an agreement and she(Opri) more than delivered. IMO Larry is being greedy and slouching on a signed business transaction.

523. 521 & 522. Sorry Larry, but you need to pay up. You signed an agreement and she(Opri) more than delivered. IMO Larry is being greedy and slouching on a signed business transaction.

Sounds like you guys are very ignorant. 1st no attorney charges a client for their husbands dry cleaning & $2,000 dinners. What world do you live in? Land El Dumbo.
The only greedy one here is Opri. And from what I have seen of her work lately you couldn't pay me to hire her.

524. Wrong poster Chica Latina. Try reading the entire court docs and you'll see Larry Birkhead puposely exaggerated the bill and took it out of context. Along, with lots of other details he failed to mention like his signing a payment agreement when he hired Opri back in 9/06. Birkhead used and abused Opri.

Read the docs.......Larry has lied about many many things, which is going to come back to haunt him. He has a snow balls chance in hell of winning against Opri, too much evidence against him.

Above are the court documents Opri filed.

525. bea........ Also read after Opri's letter to Harris the letter from Larry's attorneys in Florida...... stating Opri lied...... lied about Larry not paying other attorney..... they stated Larry paid them very soon after he received the bill..... Larry was a gentleman, polite..... none of what Opri states......
'
Looked at what she just finished doing to David Hasselhoff..... leaked that awful home movie to the media.... trying to destroy this poor mans life..... it backfired...... So will this all the lies will backfire on her.......
