Birkhead To Opri -- B**ch, Don't Spend My Money

Posted Jun 19th 2007 4:29PM by TMZ Staff

TMZ has obtained Larry Birkhead's new legal attack on Debra Opri. This time, he's asking for an injunction, prohibiting his fired lawyer from spending around $600,000 she's holding hostage in her client trust account.

Birkhead made the money after inking a million-dollar deal with Bravo network. Birkhead has sued Opri, alleging she put the money in her trust account without his consent, and then sent him a ginormous bill.

In an interesting turn, the lawyer for IMG, the agency that represents Opri, turned on her. Regan McGorry writes in a declaration that "Debra directed IMG, and in a telephone call directed IMG and Television Network [Bravo] to wire the initial payment of approximately $866,250 into her attorney client trust account. Debra informed me that she had full authority to have this money wired into said trust account." Wrong!

In Birkhead's declaration, he says, "I need protection to make certain that Opri does not and cannot abscond with my money."

61. 56: You see so much, but can you read? Like the fee agreement? Larry can't continue to go through life feigning ingnorance. He signed, he should pay. This reeks of Howard. Both money grubbing s.o.b'.s.

Pampster, you are sooooo right!

As are you, Becky. I find it fasinating that so many people are willing to jump on the tabloid bandwagon and believe what the media feeds them while the truth is sitting right there and they refuse to even look at it.

64. Nothing wrong with making money with selling your story and pictures. The media makes millions and millions on other peoples lives. Hell yes, make the media pay, after all the media corporations are getting rich on someone else every day. Why wouldn't you take the financial offers the media offers? NONE of you would turn down money. Face it, we all need it. Also, this is legal income and Larry is paying taxes on it. May I remind you also, Larry received a 1099 on the $865,000.00 that he has to pay taxes on and does not even have the money yet.

Larry charge the media, let them pay you. And actually TMZ should be paying Larry, Howard, DL and all the other celebrities for all the stuff they post on here. TMZ is no better than The Enquirer.

65. Opri try apologizing with Larry before it's to late. Once in front of another judge who knows what might happened. Judges don't like you.

Mean, Mean person.

66. Larry is a golddiger--and the more he gets the greedier he gets and does not want to pay his bills--I can not believe he is living in Annas house--she hated Larry and even left the USA to run from him larrys comment--"show me the money-----more money----my plan worked----so tell me when is Byron moving in with you?

67. 64...........Also, this is legal income and Larry is paying taxes on it. May I remind you also, Larry received a 1099 on the $865,000.00 that he has to pay taxes on and does not even have the money yet.

May I remind you, Larry spent the money before he even earned it. You just don't get it.

72. TMZ--you have posted Larrys attorney bill HE gave to you-- and all of Larrys legal suits HE gave to you --why have you not posted the Opri legal responce to Larrys accusations????

73. Opri..she's going downhill fast. Look how well she did with the ex of Hasselhoff. She couldn't even get her client custody from a slurring, hamburger mawing, shirtless alcoholic like David Hasselhoff. YAY Debra..maybe you can open up your own laundry mat.

74. And Jolene, I never said I believed everything on this site, stop making things up. I said I see alot of people acting foolish to prove their point. I see someone leading the crowd, and there are some dumb followers.

75. You have to admit though, that this site isn't nearly as pathetic as the Bald Truth! I've seen your posts there. I couldn't bring myself to expend the energy to even try to get those folks to just to open their minds to sources other than Art. Some actually sound as if Art was a god and anything he spews is gospel!
