Larry Birkhead Rips Into New Biopic Exploiting Anna Nicole Smith’s Tragic Death

Larry Birkhead, ex-partner of Anna Nicole Smith, is furious over the upcoming film "Trust Me, I’m a Doctor," which centers on Dr. Sandeep Kapoor, implicated in Smith's 2007 death.

“We absolutely object to any of Anna Nicole’s, my life, my daughter’s life being used in a movie,” Birkhead declared in an interview.

He slammed the portrayal of Kapoor, saying, “And being made characters out of someone [who] was a doctor that supposedly people were supposed to trust.”

The film draws from Kapoor's 2017 book, detailing his role as Smith's primary physician before her drug overdose at age 39.

Kapoor faced charges for illegally supplying excessive prescription drugs to Smith but was acquitted after a 2010 trial. Kal Penn portrays Kapoor in the film.

Birkhead, who was with Smith from 2003 to 2006 and is the father of her daughter, Dannielynn, attempted to halt the biopic's production.

“I actually have had conversations with this doctor and his representatives. I warned them about the harm and the emotional distress that this puts on not just myself but also, most importantly, Dannielynn,” he stated. “I explained how this could impact her and the things that she sees.”

Birkhead pointed out that Smith's story has been exploited multiple times before, including a "Law & Order" episode and a 2013 Lifetime movie featuring Agnes Bruckner.

Abbie Cornish, who plays Smith in "Trust Me, I’m a Doctor," also failed to earn Birkhead's approval.

“I’m sure she’s probably a nice girl and a great actress. But I don’t think she quite embodied Anna Nicole,” he remarked. “And that’s not really an attack on her.”

Birkhead expressed frustration over the lack of an accurate representation of Smith’s spirit and persona in portrayals thus far.

He has taken legal steps to block the film's release.

“I have filed a complaint with the California Medical Board over Dr. Kapoor’s participation in this movie,” he revealed. “I’m just going to let the process, you know, play itself out, and see what they have to say about that.”

Regarding Dannielynn, Birkhead mentioned that she had “some choice words” about Kapoor exploiting her mother’s story.

“I don’t wanna speak for her on this, but she had some choice words for this doctor and this project,” he said.

Birkhead emphasized that even though Dannielynn is over 18, his responsibility as her father is to “continue to protect her daily.”

"Trust Me, I’m a Doctor" is set for theatrical release on Oct. 16.
