Larry Birkhead Objects To Anna Nicole Smith Doctor Movie

Larry Birkhead, the father of Anna Nicole Smith's daughter Dannielynn, has stated that he and his family "absolutely object" to the upcoming movie "Trust Me, I'm a Doctor." This film, scheduled to premiere on October 16, is based on a 2017 book written by Dr. Sandeep Kapoor. Birkhead clarified that neither he nor Dannielynn are involved with the production and have filed a complaint with the California Medical Board regarding Dr. Kapoor. The complaint stems from allegations of professional misconduct and potential violations of medical practice. Birkhead's public statement aims to distance his family from the film and the doctor it profiles, emphasizing their disapproval of the project. The movie's premise centers on Dr. Kapoor's perspective and experiences, which has drawn significant opposition from Smith's estate and closest family members. This development highlights ongoing sensitivities surrounding the legacy of Anna Nicole Smith, nearly two decades after her death. The California Medical Board's review of the complaint will determine any potential disciplinary actions against Dr. Kapoor. Birkhead's legal team is reportedly monitoring the situation closely. The film's producers have not yet issued a formal response to the objections raised by Birkhead and his family. The premiere date remains set for October 16.
