Celebrity Justice
Birkhead to Opri -- I Meant What I Said

Larry Birkhead has responded to Debra Opri's defamation suit.

Opri claims, among other things, that Birkhead slandered her on "Larry King Live," where he said Opri leaked confidential documents to Rita Cosby in his paternity case.

This morning, Birkhead's lawyer, Michael Trope told TMZ, "The defense that we will file in this case will be simple. Truth is a defense."

16. These two are ridiculous. Larry should have to pay for his legal fees. However, I do not think he should have to pay for the bogus charges she put on like her dry cleaning, Anna's funeral, hubby's dinner, etc. Win or loose Larry you still have to pay, she did do some work for you, it doesn't matter if you liked it or not. If you were unhappy with her you needed to decide that in the beginning, not like this.

As far as him selling pics of the baby, I realized something. This is how they survive, look at Britney. She constantly goes infront of the paps w/ her babies - ChaChing they are cash cows. I used to think that Larry really wanted DL and was going to shelter here from the media - what a loser he is. He needs to protect her so she doesn't end up like her mother. The only time I want to see the celebs babies are when they are born (curiosity plus the babies will never remember). After that these children need to grow up out of the spotlight.

18. Truth? Larry's lawyer talks about truth which is something his client is good at stretching. Larry has told so many lies till I don't know how he keeps up with what he's saying.

21. Birkhead is nothing but trash & Opri should never have took his case.

22. The world is finally seeing why Anna had to leave the country to get away from this stalker. She found out he was after her money & wanted nothing to do with him.

24. This he say, she say, need to go away. Do your talking in the courtroom and keep it out of the media. These characters are back and forth. It's very sad, almost pathetic.

26. You people who are defending nasty Opri must have rocks for brains OR you are posting these yourself, Opri. I hopt that Opri gets disbarred. What a piece of trash she is.

27. Sheezus, people! It is so obvious Opri pulled some crap. She's horrible. I hope she does get disbarred.

As for Larry, I think he's adorable. And considering he's responsible for DannieLynn's (sp?) well-being, what's wrong with making money where he can? At least he's doing the exclusive deals so she's only shot with one or two cameras. Way better than the way Britney pulls her kids to wherever there are 20 paparazzi around and all the flash bulbs going off constantly.

I think it's perfectly ok for him to make money this way, as whatever he makes will eventually go to DL and I don't see her being harmed in any way. The only thing that would make me really mad is if he is at all paying Howard K. Sperm anything. I can't stand that dude. Ewwwwwwwwwww.

And I think it's obvious Anna Nicole left Larry because he was trying to get her off the drugs. and HKS was her supplier. Duh. Who do you think the addict is going to go with?

Just sayin' . . .

28. I'm not a fan of Opri but she should get paid. Larry is a creap. I can't understand why he is up howards ass. What does Howard have on Larry?

29. TMZ, Larry and $tern. Quite a cozy relationship here.

What fools are the people who think it's all about innocent Larry & baby. Innocent, my a**. It's all about the money. That kid pays the bills. Oh, and Larry, where's the lawsuit you promised Rita Cosby? Don't want to open that can of worms, right?

Opri will win her lawsuit. And the truth IS beginning to come out with more to come.

30. If there is anything in Rita's book that was discussed between Larry and Debra Opri while they were client/lawyer then Debra does not have a case against Larry for defamation, besides in my opinion Debra is only filing this case to cover up the fact that she's trying to cover up her bogus bill to Larry.

To those who want to condemn Larry for the media exposure of Dannielynn, wasn't Anna doing the same before she died with the pictures of the baby on front of various magazines? so either way this baby would have had exposures either way and some one would be profiting regardless!
