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.

76. THEY'RE ALL A BUNCH OF WORTHLESS COCKROACHES THAT DON'T GIVE A RAT'S BEHIND ABOUT DANNIELYNN, SO WHO CARES? BIRKHEAD SHOULD'VE NEVER BEEN AWARDED CUSTODY, AND THAT WORTHLESS TRAILER TRASH VIRGIE SHOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED TO DESTROY THAT LITTLE GIRL LIKE SHE DESTROYED HER OWN. ALL THEY WANT IS MONEY.

77. Hire Opri -- in the capacity of lawyer? Maybe her hubbies shirts need laundering - will work for dry cleaning...

Posted at 7:13PM on Jun 12th 2007 by Opri is a woman scorned

78. PAY your DAMN bill Shithead. What will you daughter think of you when she hears her Dad....was a dead-beat and wouldn't pay one of his lawyers. You said last night on Greta you paid all your other lawyers. Did you use Dannielynn's money????? Pay up...if you couldn't run with the BIG DOG (oPRI) You should have stayed on the porch......

I'm beginning to think they're TMZ insiders, or that TMZ is the PR firm.

Those polls that they put up are definitely pre loaded by their own. How can there be tens of thousands of votes 3 seconds after it's posted???

I wonder if this comment will:

A) Go through

B) Stay up.

We'll see. Or at least I will see.

80. She represents Michael Jackson's parents pro bono and charges a photographer over $600,000. Something's wrong with that picture. Not sure who said it, but you're exactly right, any decnt upstanding lawyer who has a "good name" would keep their mouth shut and let the courts deal with the bill, instead she goes on television bashing Larry after having nothing but glowing words to say about him for months on end. And she expects everyone to believe her side of the story?

81. It's really funny when the regulars realize they are a minority and can't keep up with the rest of us. LOL.

They need to go their old folks home and rant about Howard and Larry.

BEGONE IDIOTS!

82.

All fired up are we?
please remember that debri was not the one to come public first. it was larry.
please remember larry hired opri and signed an agreement; he did not go into this blindly.
please remember that debri worked half of a year,jetting from coast to coast and then country to country.
please remember it was debri's big bad dog tactics that laid the groundwork that produced dannielynn.

please remember that this bill was generated by HOWARD K. STERN.....NOT DEBRI OR LARRY.
SO, PRAY TELL ME JUST WHY ARE YOU NOT DIRECTING YOUR ANGER TOWARDS HOWARD? ANSWER PLEASE?

Posted at 7:35PM on Jun 12th 2007 by YOU TOOK THE BATE AND BOUGHT THE SPIN; U ARE DISCUSSING OPRI VS. LARRY == NOT THE ISSUE == HOWARD IS!!!!!!!!!!

83. Larry is not my Howard. Howard doesn't have to pay bills. Anna used to pay Howard's bills, now his parents pay his bills. Larry, if you know what's good for you, you will RUN as fast as you can away from Howard. He's in a class all his own.

Opri did everything for you that she promised. You got your daughter. You got great PR. Everyone was on your side. Now stop looking cheap, get off the media stint and pay your freaking legal bill. If you have a problem with some of it, then arbitrate it as you agreed to do when you signed the Agreement.

Opri deserves to be paid. You don't have to like her. Just pay her.

84. Before Larry hired a lawyer he asked Greta (on Fox) to recommend an attorney. He asked her about Opri and told her Opri said she would do it for free just for the publicity. Greta said this on TV. She told Larry to go for it.
Last I heard Opri had 800,000. dollars in her client account that belonged to Larry. Larry is not a man who wouldn't pay his bills. Opri, on the other hand is not acting very professional, and I hope anyone who was thinking about hiring her thinks twice. She is acting terribly and Larry isn't saying a word. He is waiting for the court to sort it out.
Opri has a very big mouth.

88.

Virgie helped larry fight howard.
opri's bill was the direct result of howard's behavior.
larry fought long 7-month fight with howard.

now you tell me larry is using howard's law firm to sue opri for the bill caused by howard?
and larry is now joined WITH howard AGAINST virgie arthur?

is there anyone out there who wants to help larry in the future and become his friend?
..........alrighty then.

89. and she want's people to take her seriously as a Lawyer???? LOL!!!!!!!!! HILAR!!!!!!!
SHE AND THAT ALRED WOMAN (AND MAYBE EVEN ADD IN LINDSAY LOHAN'S TRAHS-A-HOLIC MOTHER IN THE MIX) should all go OUT FOR DINNER (AKA PHOTO-WHORE-OP) and just get a cheap $40 dollar a night motel off Sunset and just gratify each other...tell themselves how wonderful and perfect they are and that they are doing such a great job at being MOTHER's and Lawyer's.............
what a bunch of crack cases..
what next...that pasty faced lawyer defending Lindsay after she OD's at her 21'st Birthday....
??????????????
Let's watch and see.........

90. All of this public "feuding" sure puts a BIG damper on the significant outcome of this "near" tragedy... and that is that Baby Birkhead is now with her REAL father, thank God.

These two ADULTS should GROW-UP and stop airing their legal business dispute publicly. They should keep it private and professional, and STOP turning their differences into a dad-gum soap opera...A BAD ONE, at that!
