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."

361. 100.
if anna were alive stern would be behind bars.
anna, as you will recall, is the one who shouted out YOU KILLED MY SON.

ANNA, YOU WLL RECALL IS THE ONE WHO WANTED HER SON BURIED IN THE GOOD OL USA IN AN EFFORT TO GET AWAY FROM THE SCMUCK!
DO YOU HAVE ANY DOUBTS THAT IF HER SON WAS BURIED IN CA OR TEXAS THAT SHE WOULD BE SETTING FOOT BACK IN BAHAMAS?

YA'LL NEED TO GET REAL, REAL UP IN HERE.

If either one was burried in Texas you can bet VA would have splash over for photo opts all the time just to keep things going.IMO she was not concerned about either her daughter or her grandson until after they had passed.What does that say about her?

362. 159. Why is everybody bagging on Opri. She was just a hired gun to get Birkhead what he wanted and he got it! The baby and Millions of dollars. I am just new to all this, but it doesn't make any sense. Didn't Larry get what he wanted including getting all of his Bahamian and Florida attoreney's bills paid due to Opri? Shouldn't she be paid? Didn't she buy him clothes and furniture, even for his sister?

Larry being Gay makes no difference. Selling his daughter and siding with Stern is really despicable.

Opri was the one talking.LB just let her go on and on. what was he supposed to do abourt HER saying he owed 300,000 so far.That was a ploy to get people on his side and to believe what opri was saying about ANS and HKS.She was willing according to papers she filed to pimp as you all say this child for money.Now she says she has concern for this child.Give me a break.As far as vicodin I was on it after surgery and it did nothing but relieve my pain I still could drive and work ect. So what is your point?

363. 135. All you people that have trashed and bashed at Virgie all this time..........wonder what she has to say about all of this now??

I bet nothing ~ She is smart enough to stay off TV and isn't giving interviews, hasn't for a while now, has she?

If you keep your mouth shut, you can't be sued for saying this or that.

Howard and Larry hitting TMZ to set records straight, and to ET for paid exclusives.
Larry King {though I don't think that will happen again since it was pretty one sided}

Still waters run deep = Virgie will come out the winner in all this.

Oh VA has said a lot thru other sources so it can't go back to her but we all know where it came from.Talk aboutt threats.Read the posts from earth(VA) to LB if those are not threats I don't know what are.She used her official position to harrass and threaten a bussiness owner.Makes you wonder what other unlawful things she did that we don't know about.IMO

_____________________________________________________________

People like the above are the very reason Vergie has been smart not to try and explain Anna's accusations. She knows what happened but is also wise enough to know that a there are lynch mobs everywhere just waiting to blame her for everything bad that happened to Anna; real, imagined, or when Anna was an adult. It would serve no purpose to her or the innocent members of her family to try and "explain" as she will always be the scapegoat for the alleged abuse.

As for her using her official position "to harrass and threaten" a business owner, I find it curious that you leave out that she caught her daughter stripping in this club. Yes, Vergie is such an uncaring mother...who LET her daughter be molested...what a load of BC!!!!!

It was Vergie's sister and friend who were allegedly molested by her then husband. Vergie divorced him when Anna was two because he allegedly kicked her repeatedly while on the floor in a fetal position, protecting Anna, with whom she was pregnant.

While I realize that our culture has changed their attitudes on child punishment in the past 30 years, it was common place to spank children with belts, switches, etc.. Even teachers could paddle you. Vergie's parental style was more the norm than the exception. My father treated me the same way and it might have been worse if I had been caught stripping. If you are not able to judge her in the context of the time period, well, I don't give much credence to your opinions.

I'm not saying its right, it is just the way it was...

I'll have to go check my copy of the book. Anna was very close to being underaged at the time.

366. 307. two johnny-come-latelys going up against a woman with years on record as being a child-advocate.

what do you think is gonna happen?

what does larry have to prove his case?
what does howard have to prove his case? ..and,
what do they have to discredit Rita?

these are two whimps with nothing to do put to in the media at the expense of other peroples reputations.

take them both to jail for lying and murdering.

A child advocate LOL better look up her web site again she ahd very little training in this area.She was out to make the most money she could first from ANS than when she passed from whoever else she could including Dannilynn.She is asking for money from the stories and she did not say she would give that money to charity.She is useing the media again only this time it is against LB instead of for him

369. If Rita has this information, she may have been part of the death of Anna Nicole and Daniel. Maybe Howard, Larry, MO, Mo's wife"the nurse", Rita and several others were paid off by Mr. Marshalls people to have Anna and Daniel killed. Has anyone thought of that? Maybe Rita Cosby is upset that her cut of the death profits were not given to her. What, is she going to go to the police? I strongly think that Anna and Daniel were killed and that people were paid off to keep their mouths shut. When Anna's husband's son her step-son died, that is when everything came to fruition. Think about it, Anna did stand to get a lot of money from her dead husband and maybe the Marshall family was sick of the media attention given to Anna. We all know that her husband's family did not want to give her the money, that is why she never had the money and had to keep going to court to try to get it. I never trusted HKS, and I do think that he is involved in her death. As for being gay... who cares? Anna and most of the people she put around her, only used her for fame and money/ free things. We all heard in the media that she was kinky, so maybe she new they were gay and liked it and produced a baby for the three of them, then a spat came about and who knows... HKS, Larry and Anna did have a lot of gay friends! I truly loved Anna and I feel so bad for the steps that she took in her life.
I do remember that when her mother (Vergie) made a statement on tv about Daniel's death, she also told Anna that she was next and to get away. Texans don't play around. Do they? Maybe Vergie new about it and HKS would not allow Anna to talk to her mother, that is why Anna was always on drugs. Come on, Anna was brain washed by HKS on many occasions. The doctors that gave her those medications should be in jail. Anyone who had given Anna and Daniel drugs should be in jail. If some of the prescribed drugs that belonged to HKS or anyone else in her circle were in her body, then there was something wrong and nothing was done about it. Poor Anna and Daniel. This is why the people in her circle are still making money on her even while she is dead. Why would anyone take pictures of her while she was dead or half dead? Someone knew that they were going to profit from it.

Think your imagination is running a little weird when you suggest that Rita Cosby via the Marshall Family had something to do with the death of ANS. Some of you people who are just beginning to blog on this saga are completely missing factual history.

373. EARTH TO LARRY


The path you chose was not the one

Though you've had a lot of fun

Playing in the Hawaii sun

Do not think that you have won

Instead you'll pay the piper's sum


Difficulties surface anytime, anywhere

Don't mean to give you such a scare

But thought you should be aware

It all catches up to you everywhere


For no matter how long you run

You cannot stop what is already done

That day so near will finally come

You'll have to pay the piper's sum

375. There is a way to end all this madness...finalise the J Howard Marshall II estate...then all the money hungry rats will desert the ship if Dannielynn does not inherit.
CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHEN THE NEXT HEARING FOR THE MARSHALL ESTATE WILL BE.......PURRRRRLEASE!
I hope that Khristine & HK$ are charged with NEGLIGENCE {at least} for the disgraceful way they DIDN'T take care of ANNA.
