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."

31. 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!

Yeah. That's what they all say.

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

33. 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.

34. 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.

35. I've about decided Larry is as bad as Howard Stern.....they're both live off women & children.

36. #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.

37. 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!

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.

38. 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?

39. 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!

40. Are Opri and Keven Federdud related? Both are gold digging, useless, scam artists and both are Ugly as Hell - both inside and out.

Media whore Jerkhead you mean...
he has done nothing but try to be in the media. Going to the Emmy's, for what? Having E at the birthday party that had 200 guests? Get real, he is the Media Whore
Birkhead has turned himself into a full fledge jerk.

42. I hate you, You hate me we are the perfect family .......Barney the purple dinosuar
Larry is so lucky, look in the end he got the baby, the money,the long wanted publicity, the home, he has his family to support him. He will win the estate money, eventually Virgie will let go,and he will be made in the shade with pink lemonade....btw all opri hoopla will be settled out of court mark my words with a confidentiality clause,,,,that means that dirty mouth Rita Crosby will not be able to report more lies.
what did Anna Nicole have in the end? Nothing except her drugs, a dead child ,a crazy ex sperm doner claiming paternity (most dads would of bolted) a future wedding with someone she tolerated,thats maybe why Howard was feeding her so many drugs to make her think he was sexy, lawsuits galore, she had divorced her family, friends, and died with hired help in a hotel room not caring about her at all..
Howard was left with his sad memories he is going to be emotionally paralyzed for the rest of his sad pimping life....
