Debra Opri just might be one of the biggest media whores to come down the road in a long time. Think of a flashy, celebrity case in the last few years and I assure you, somewhere along the line she’s been involved or sought to be involved. One of her recent clients was Larry Birkhead. What better forum for a huckster attorney like Opri than a sensational circus like the custody battle for Anna Nicole Smith’s kid? She had her puss out in front of the cameras, and she was wining and dining herself and enjoying the Bahamian island life at the same time. Color Larry shocked when she laid the boom on him by charging him a couple of hundred thousand bucks for the privilege of her services!
Needless to say Birkhead and Opri parted company on bad terms… so when sensational claims were made in the new book by gravel voiced Rita Cosby, Larry attributed some of them to Opri. Now comes a suit (in addition to the one for her OUTRAGEOUS fees), that claims that this pig Opri’s career has suffered and that she has damages in the range of $200,000. Some of that $200,000.00 had to be spent on paying a firm to provide damage control and rehabilitation to Opri’s supposed lagging career after Birkhead’s remarks.
I wonder how much damage can be attributed to Birkhead when he’s made a name for this cow. I’m no fan of Birkhead, Anna Nicole Smith, or any of the other people this woman has represented, but the jig is up. People know that she charges outrageous fees and that she seems to make herself the center of a case, often taking to the air and commenting on them. It’s obscene and dare I say, likely unethical. From Michael Jackson to James Brown to Larry Birkhead and David Hasselhoff’s ex-wife Pamela Bach it’s been a who’s who of freaks and hasbeens for this woman. Did I mention that even after the drunken burger incident Opri lost the Bach vs. Hasselhoff case? I’m sure that didn’t help her star studded career either.
Don’t take my word for it… go to this woman’s website and see how she showcases her various talk show spots. Maybe Debra Opri should concentrate more on being an attorney and less on being a pseudo celebrity if she wants to truly heal her “damaged” career.
At any rate, all of these people deserve one another. Oh the drama.

You suck. Many people are threatened by powerful woman in a mans world. Only men shouyld make High Legal fees? Opri’s are half of what the top male attorneys make. You don’t know the facts. The majority of Opri’s bill was money fronted to Larry Sue. Hasselhoff had already had a doctor say she was unfit as a mother before Opri was involved. She tried to reverse the Dr.s report. BTW, she has had many celebrity vitories, many tiomes for James Brown in fact.

The woman charged the guy for expenses that were related to her HUSBAND being in the Bahamas. Are you kidding me? Opri was using Birkhead to get her face out there… he should have been charging HER. She knew what she was getting into. As for my fear of powerful women, you have to be kidding me. I married the toughest woman I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. I’m all for women achieving in this world… I just don’t abide tacky media whores.
Thank you, come again!
