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."

31. 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' . . .

32. 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!

33. Gee, Harvey and TMZ.....

Did Birkhead sell you this photo? It's the best one I've ever seen of him....I'm not one who thinks he's a physical charmer and so this appears to be airbrushed?

As his "princess sister" put on her myspace regarding Mrs. Arthur after he received temporary custody of his biological daughter, "Ain't karma a bitch?" Larry Birkhead, you
lost the hoards of original supporters who were with you (along with Opri) in defense of a single and/or biological father's rights. Once we could see what you were truly about, i.e. one lacking dignity, honor, integrity, and a heart filled with greed (just like those with whom you now sleep in the same bed) we were gone...."Ain't karma a bitch, Larry Birkhead?"

You should have taken your daughter out of the spotlight and settled down near your family to instill common values in her and, yet, instead you chose to sell her soul to anyone who would buy her for magazine covers and interviews and, of course, we mustn't forget the outrageous birthday party for a one-year-old child! Get "Marshall" off the birth certficate, you greedy person, as the family is going to fight for their hard-earned lineage monies until you melt into a pool of blood along with Stern and Rale. Hopefully, your family members haven't quit their day jobs, yet!

34. 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?

35. 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.

Yeah. That's what they all say.

The problem with that is that both sides will have their own versions of "the truth."

37. Go Rita and Deb Opri. I hope they put Larry where he was. An nobody till his cash cow came in and he will go back. After the inquest they will get Howard and Larry. I hope they spend some jail time and lose all their money.

38. Opri gives new meaning to the term, "vicious, vindictive, ugly, nasty Bitch". She hasn't won a case in ages and she's such a lying tramp, no one wants to hire her anymore. She's ONLY after Money !!!!! You go, Larry, hope this lawsuit will put her out of business forever.

39. #33, Helen You are SO right about Media Whore Opri. I couldn't agree with you more. She almost acts retarded making all these ridiculous statements.

40. The very idea of Larry turning on the two people who helped him in the beginning, Virgie & Opri, & now teaming up with Howard is proof enough to me that these two bums cooked up this fake run away to the Bahamas in order to sell their stories to the media for money.

The sad part is that Anna & Daniel knew nothing of the plan & neither are here. Strange isn't it? Stranger is the fact that both died of a drug overdose within months & Howard was present both times, isn't it?

Strangest of all is that Howard does not want an inquest into Daniels death, isn't it?

41. 31 No shame Birkhead. You said it . I agree with 100% and Birkhead has to have one of Howards paid Lawyer. Him and Howard have hangons eversince they met Anna. Shame on you two babies. Et and Insider, and Art Harris can't save you now.

I like that. But "melt into a pool of blood"? Are you going just a little too far there, pal?

First, you're assuming the gentlemen HAVE blood. They may have had BLOOD when they were born, but it has since evolved into something else. Perhaps battery acid, or a combination of beer and cheap champagne? Or simply rancid grease.

And when they do finally dissolve into a puddle, forensics may want to check it for hair pieces, veneers, and Dippity-Doo.

43. The way Larry exploits little Dannielynn seems sick. Living off his dead girlfriend..selling pix of his baby girl...get a job, blonde airhead!Good luck, Ms. Opri in your lawsuit!
