Anna Nicole’s Ex Demanding Paternity Test
Anna Nicole Smith’s ex-boyfriend and aspiring baby daddy, Larry Birkhead, filed suit in Los Angeles Superior Court Monday, demanding that Smith return to the U.S. with newborn daughter Dannielynn Hope and submit the baby to a paternity test, E! reports.
Birkhead’s lawsuit contains “damning” allegations that Smith was taking methadone and that her attorney and boyfriend, Howard K. Stern, has been facilitating her habit.
Smith’s ex accused the TrimSpa spokeswoman of fleeing to the Bahamas to keep her baby from being tested for drugs. Birkhead also alleged that Stern is claiming to be Dannielynn’s father for his own financial gain, and claims that Smith had asked a third unidentified man to say that he was the father of her child — a plan which didn’t work out because the man had already had a vasectomy.
Birkhead requested in his petition that Smith and her daughter undergo drug testing. According to Birkhead’s attorney, Debra Opri, Birkhead is seeking legal and physical custody of the child.
“The public will be very surprised when they learn the details of the lifestyle this baby is going to be faced with if she remains in the current situation,” Opri said in a statement.
Stern announced on Larry King Live last Wednesday that he is the father of Smith’s baby. The following day, the couple exchanged vows in a non-binding commitment ceremony in the Bahamas.
“There is absolutely no way that [Stern] is the father of this child,” Birkhead told MSNBC’s Rita Crosby. “He knows it, I know it and that’s all there is to it. He challenged me on live television to get an attorney, so I have taken him up on his offer.”
