*Here is a clearer version of the Larry Birkhead story for those who don’t closely follow all facets of the Anna Nicole cases. I hope this will clear up some questions I have been receiving. ~Thanks QV
Yesterday I received two phone calls. The caller ID showed the name Eugene Winbun and a Louisville Kentucky number. I didn’t answer the phone. Two hours later the phone rang showing a local Crestline, Ohio number. I usually don’t answer the phone if I don’t know who is calling but since it was local, I picked up the phone.
The caller identified himself as Larry Birkhead and indeed it was. I recognized the voice.
I have been blogging about Anna Nicole Smith since her untimely death in February of 2007. In Harris County Texas, Case# 2008-24181, Anna Nicole’s mother Virgie Arthur is suing defendants Howard K. Stern, his sister Bonnie, journalist Art Harris, TMZ/Harvey Levin, and Rose Turner, a blog owner and last but not least, Larry Birkhead. Arthur’s attorney is Neil McCabe of (the late) John O’Quinn’s law firm in Houston Texas. Through a series of events in that case, I was tagged as a witness.
Currently in Los Angeles the Anna Nicole Smith criminal drug trial of accused conspirators Howard K. Stern and doctors Eroshevich and Kapoor is in its sixth day. Anna Nicole’s former bodyguard “Big Moe/Maurice Brighthaupt” has finished his testimony and most are anticipating that baby daddy Larry Birkhead will be testifying soon.
Since I have followed the case for over three years, I thought it would be interesting to publish snippets of Birkhead’s sworn testimony and television interview transcripts. Many of which he has since contradicted himself.
I also put together a photo collage of various magazine covers and other pictures that are widely available on the internet and routinely used by small blogs like mine and on other social media websites.
Birkhead has been widely criticized after sworn testimony in his paternity action chastising Anna Nicole for “exploiting” their daughter Dannielynn for money when he appears to be doing the same thing. He is also publicly supportive of Howard K. Stern and my article outlines many critical accusations he has made against Stern and the late Anna Nicole Smith in the past when he was fighting to be recognized as the baby’s father .
None the less, Birkhead called my home and when I did not answer the first call, he used a spoofing device such as what is available on Spoofcard.com to make it appear that a local call was coming in and I assume that was to trick me into answering the phone.
It worked.
Birkhead proceeded to demand that I take all photos of him off of my website. He was upset because I previously published a photo that he took and sold of Anna Nicole at a night club in South Carolina. The photo shows Anna Nicole after she fell face down on the dance floor surrounded by a crowd with a spilled pitcher of liquid all over her. Its pretty sad to see her being humiliated in that way.
Birkhead then demanded that I also remove his sworn declaration taken during his paternity suit against Smith in October of 2006. The document was purchased on Pacer and was used as evidence and unsealed in Stern’s lawsuit against Blonde Ambition author Rita Cosby. That lawsuit was eventually settled.
When I refused to remove the items citing “fair use”, and “satire”, Birkhead said that he would retain a “$1000 per hour attorney to come and get (me) in Crestline.” I told him “I don’t have any money for you.” He replied that I would have to work for him for the rest of my life.
He then proceeded to tell me that I am a nobody blogger who has nothing better to do than get into his business, his daughters business and his daughter’s mother’s business. He also said that I am a “Texas ass kisser”. I found that kind of humorous and started to laugh and said, “see what happens when you consort with criminals?”
He demanded several times to know the names of the criminals that I was speaking about. I finally said, “you know who they are.” Someone in the background then spoke and he ended the call.
As I was writing about what happened on my blog and told a reader I was working on a “scoop”, Birkhead came to my website and posted in my live chat box and we had the following conversation.
Larry B : The scoop is that I called and told this lady off …big deal.
QV : Hahaa. Its funny!
Larry B : thats what you say today… check the mail in crestline ohio there pretty soon
QV : Okee dokee. You dont scare me. I have a friend in Texas who would love to speak to you. Name is Wilma (Vice). You have her number right?
Larry B : do you think any one in their right mind is scared of her? ahhhhhhhaahahaha hahah
QV : I only said she would like to speak to you. Not that she would scare you. But you are trying to scare me. Its not working.
Larry B : i made a simple request I am here taking screen shots i will have my attorney handle the rest. yvonne
Larry B : wilma knows better than try and contact me…
QV : The name is Von. Get it right.
QV : And you must be too chicken to call her then?
Larry B : its yvonne von-waddle barnhart the self-proclaimed “queen of Von Donia”
Larry B : <screenshot^&*>
QV : No its really not von-waddle-barnh art and Iam not self proclaimed. An admirer came up with that moniker. You can be a queen too. No need to be jealous.
Larry B : you can be in a trailer in ohio to goodnight $$$$$$$$$$
QV : Nite nite.
This is not the first time Larry Birkhead has scurried around the internet and issued threats. He also visited Rose Turner, one of his Texas based co-defendant’s website and left her the following comment.
It is awful funny that Rose says Larry’s show isn’t going. Why didn’t she call the network and get an official statement, to see that she is wrong? Rose is awful hateful for a lady who is “terminal.” Oh Rose, check your google alert it is a little dated….Paris Hilton and Larry, three years ago..Playboy Mansion Halloween. Nice try. Gay rumors, give it a rest. For a minute I didn’t know if you were talking about your ghost writing contributors or what… How long did your doctor give you? With all that negative energy, you are chipping away at your last precious minutes. Why don’t you use your website for good use and put up a Rose Terminal Ticker Countdown, so everyone can see how much longer they have to read your website, whatever few people you haven’t turned against. Oh that’s right, you want your “big-time” website with “all those viewers,” to live on in and pass down to Ken. That is a real gift and an asset. A real legacy.

etc.etc.
Anyone left on here that sees a pattern? Rose check your meds….
A few months ago, Birkhead stopped by Louisville, Kentucky radio personality Terry Meiners Facebook…
Terry Meiners “Louisville’s Larry Birkhead is flying coach again.”
Larry Birkhead Terry you remain a douchebag on local AM radio. I thought your station manager already warned you about opening your mouth on things you know nothing about. Wincing on gutter commercials and broadcasting on a tin can doesn’t make you clever.
To be fair, I did examine some of the photos that I used in my collage and determined he may still have rights to them so I did a few substitutions.
However, I will not remove this humiliating photo Birkhead snapped and sold of an inebriated Anna Nicole.
I will not remove this sworn declaration purchased on Pacer.
Nor will I remove any transcripts or legal documents that are Birkhead’s own words and qualify as public records.
Birkhead is not the only one issuing threats via social media. Howard K. Stern is executor and Larry Birkhead is guardian of Anna Nicole Smith’s estate and “work together closely” according to Birkhead
TMZ.com carried this story.
My article that caused Birkhead to call and issue threats can be read right here.
I hate to burst “anyone’s” bubble but if its true, you can not sue.

Well here goes but you know me sometimes I just have to say it. Larry was right in most of what he said to Rose as hateful as it sounded from my research and personal experiences with her he was actually pretty right on. I also believe she caused this site a lot of turmoil and IMO you were gracious to a lot of foolish women who feel into that trap.
Larry makes me ill
