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. Debra Opri is a piece of garbage. It is lawyers like her that give the whole profession a bad name. There have been multiple past clients of hers who have filed suit against her. I am not a fan of Birkheads (its sick how he sells out his kid for money) but Opri is even lower. I hope her license gets revoked.

17. Opri is a money hungry loser. I hope she never practices again, successfully. If it weren't for you, nobody would know who she is. I can't see anyone in their right mind ever retaining this lousy pig.

18. Mia claims Larry was ripped off? How, Mia, enquiring minds want to know how he was ripped off? It's not like he actually lifted his finger...oh, I'm sorry, he did lift his fingers to hold his little DL up so photographers can get her picture and to sign the contract. Larry is upset because one of his many money deals selling DL to the cameras was possibly taken by Opri. Larry...you're making millions of dollars off of DL and you have many things in the works selling her. Stop being so greedy?

Will Larry EVER stop exploiting DL?

Anna Nicole would be very proud of her daughter's baby's daddy. Publicity hound...money hound.

20. 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.

22. 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.

27. 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.
