Anna Nicole’s Mom Sues TMZ for Business as Usual

virgie-arthur.jpg Shocking only in a “we’re surprised it took this long,” TMZ.com is facing a lawsuit from Anna Nicole Smith’s mother, Virgie Arthur, on charges of libel. Namely, she says an April story on the site, which claimed she had a relationship with her stepbrother, hurt Virgie’s chances of gaining custody of Anna’s daughter Dannietlynn. Along with TMZ, three other bloggers were named in the suit, including a one Lyndal Harrington, whose blog we cannot find on The Google. (Maybe this is it?) Court docs are here.

    Virgie is a criminal in the same sense that Nancy Grace is a criminal. Neither have any credibilty to those that are informed to the real facts. I say, lets save some money and lock up both Virgie with Nancy and throw away the key. Criminals who harn children should all be in prison for life!

    Michelle,
    First of all, she does not, I repeat, DOES NOT want custody. She merely wants to be a part of her grandchilds life. As any grandmother would want. She has a right to be in her life. It is not about the money, where does it say she has harmed children?
    The site you refer to is roses site, she is named in the case as well. Lyndal was just a moderator up until the subpoenas came out, then she turned into a roving freelance researcher journalist, (thats what they call her now) really she is just an out of work real estate agent, times are tough ya know, a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do.

    beware, if you go to roses site your IP and location may end up on her wall of shame. People they don’t like they label them as hackers, (LMFAO) and put there IPS on the NUK List.

    all of this, of course, is MOO

    I also added more links to the court documents.

    Someone head is going to roll at TMZ, in their quest to to just post away, they never do any fact checking and routinely get it wrong. Not a big fan of Virgie’s, but hope she sticks it to TMZ!

    Goodness Red,
    I have been to http://www.rosespeaks.com and http://www.rosespeaks.com/rose-blog many times and I NEVER HAVE A PROBLEM. I know that she does have to ban trouble makers that like to attack other bloggers and steal their comments to post on other sites. I think she also had to ban people that have made threats and harrassed her members on other sites. Too bad you can’t get in there it’s really a great website that has all the legal documents from all sides and in all the court cases involving all things Anna Nicole Smith. Good luck and I hope you are able to straighten it out so that you can visit the site soon!!!

    Here’s the link to ALL THE LEGAL DOCUMENTS - NO FEAR HERE … THIS IS A VERY SAFE SITE!!!

    I have a huge problem with Rosespeaks and Art Harris it is Pro Sern and they were slanderous to Mrs. Arthur with their lies, one of the woman Theresa in the suit even gloated that she had all of the people in defense of Vergie denied access to TMZ? I find these people to be horrendous with their avtions and their web sites and I hope Mrs. Arthur prevails and wins her lawsuit. NOBODY deserves to be treated like that! These WOman should be ashamed of themselves!!!!

    No. 7 Harmony says:

    TB for short - I find your slanderous remarks against Howard K. Stern to be vile and out of line. No one deserves to be treated like that!
    YOU and your friends should be ashamed of yourselves! Grown women? I think not.
    Waaa Waaa Waaa Poor Baby!

    The debate about who is worse than whom in this story is pretty freaking hysterical. It’s like saying that Jack the Ripper was worse/ better than Jeffrey Dahmer. Six/ Half Dozen as far as I’m concerned.

    No. 9 Tb for Short says:

    Harmony,there was no remark about Stern??? You make no sense and you can sit here all day and have all your cronies come and write with you. Nobody cares!!! What was done to Mrs. Arthur was the same thing you screamed about was done to Howard only you woman did to Verige!

    harmony- I can still read everything at roses.
    I don’t get a banned or forbidden message. I can read just fine. I think it’s pretty funny lauren and lizzie are getting bent out of shape about WHERE I get my legal documents from….

    Goodmorning savesomething, on your comment #48 - I am not sure why the dates are different, unless it was done on purpose. You know the other site owner who seems to have a personal grudge on many here… She was possibly given the papers early to ‘rile’ everyone up so they could see our outrage and then say; “See what I mean?” Anyway, that is just a possibility.

    Good morning. I doublechecked and my copy from the other site was filed April 21, as is the one on downloads here. So is the Withdrawl of Motion to Remand to State Court. Makes sense, no? We know it was deliberately leaked to the media and on the internet.

    No. 11 belicoso says:

    Honestly how can you libel someone who has no credibility? That’s like Don King filing for character defamation. I really hope this suit gets dispatched quickly I am so tired of this whole cast of characters just stirring up legal trouble where there really shouldn’t be any. Seems like all of her lawsuits are total gibberish, I can’t remember her winning any sort of legal dispute and Lord knows she’s given herself an adequate number of chances.

    No. 12 Harmony says:

    Red that’s nice you can still read at Rose’s site. What’s NOT NICE is you posting other’s comments to mock them. You are one mean, nasty woman. I’ll say a prayer for you.

    Harmony,
    No, I am not making fun of their posts, I am showing what they are saying about me, they think I have an inside in the office and I get my documents before they come off PACER. I have recpt’s to show where they come from. It just shows how one person posts one thing and they take it as gospel and run with it.
    Why don’t you read all the court documents showing the emails, etc…
    One thing they are all misunderstandin, Virgie is not suing BLOGGERS for being bloggers….She is suing for what went on behind the scenes. There was a conspiracy to defame her…

    No. 14 Jill from Western Australia says:

    From a Western Australian prosepective Virgie Arthur was despised by her DRUG INDUCED daughter & therefore should have no rights whatsoever! By teaming up with Rita Cosby she showed her true colours!!! I equally despise HK$ for having NO BACKBONE…but being the “PUPPET” allowing ANS to pull the strings!…If he had truly cared about her he would have called 911…instead he left her dead making sure that Moe & Taz would find her whilst he “swanned” off to buy a boat!!!! HE IS TRULY DESPICABLE AND SHOULD BE CHARGED WITH NEGLIGENCE…ANS was not a “FIT MOTHER” to Daniel nor Dannielynn…the only person that she cared about was HERSELF!…Larry is raising his baby in a drug free enviroment…it is a good thing that ANS is not around to introduce her to DRUGS! There have been many cover-ups {eg..Greta asked Dr. Perper if he took hair follicle samples - he said YES..BUT NO ONE ASKED ME TO TEST THEM!}..I guess that America really wants us to believe that the selfish “air-head” was capable of raising children!!! J.Howard Marshall wrote an “AIR-TIGHT WILL”…I suspect that “Mr. I WANT 6%” and I will be “pushing up daisies” before he gets a penny….!!!
