And I feel that it has to be stopped and the truth needs to be told to the American public that I am the father of this child and all of Howard Stern's lies need to stop right now.
cosby: You know, these allegations against Anna Nicole that I'm told by other sources are in the lawsuit filing are very strong, including the allegation of a drug addiction, these allegations against Anna Nicole, and that the baby may be damaged.
I spoke with your attorney, Debra Opri, obviously very well known. She's represented a lot of high-profile folks before you. And she had a pretty strong statement I want to show. This is what she said to me. She said, "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."
Do you believe that the baby's health is at risk, that you're doing what's best for the baby now?
birkhead: Well, I'll let my attorney, you know, stick with the statement that my attorney gave, but I will say that I'm fighting for what I believe in, and that's that I am the father of my baby girl. And I want her to return to the States so that I can maintain a relationship with her and have a relationship with her.
Right now, I have no rights, no visitation, no rights whatsoever. They were all stripped from me. And again, this was orchestrated between herself and the attorney, and I think that it's time to get to the bottom of it.
cosby: Is there any way Howard K. Stern, who went on national television last week . . .
birkhead: There is absolutely no way that Howard Stern is the father of this child. He knows it; I know it. And that's all there is to it.
He challenged me on live television to get an attorney, and so I have taken him up on his offer. And it's time to get to the bottom of it, and we will soon see all the lies surrounding this circus that he's taken and he's made out of my birth of my baby daughter.
cosby: You know, in the court filing, I understand from other sources outside of you and your attorney — I understand that Anna Nicole was pregnant with another baby of yours but miscarried last year. Is that true?
birkhead: Well, I'll let the—I think that will come out in time. And I'd rather not comment on that, you know, at this time.
cosby: What do you want to say about your credibility, because he's attacked your credibility? And why are you speaking here tonight?
birkhead: Well, again, it was important for me to get, you know, to the bottom of this whole thing, the circus that they've created, and also just to let people know that, you know, I am a credible person. I was told I was the father. I've been through all of these motions and emotions to prepare for fatherhood. And I think this is just an absolute crime what has been done to me, and I'm ready to fight for my daughter.
cosby: At the end of the day, you believe you will be . . . 100 percent?
birkhead: One hundred and ten percent.
The following day, Ron Rale, one of Anna's ever-expanding cadre of attorneys fired back: "The truth will be known. Justice will be served."
"Dannielynn's" birth certificate was redone and Stern was added. According to Bahamian birth certificate number 14598, Howard K. Stern was the proud father. Stern's last name was listed as the baby's last name, even though they were not legally married, even by Bahamian standards. According to Milton Evans, a well-known Bahamian lawyer, "The baby will only take on the father's name if he swears in an affidavit or signifies to the registrar that he is the father, and is prepared for his name to appear on the birth certificate. The mother will also have to be present and confirm that he is the father. So, based on their joint declaration to the birth records officer, that decision will be made to put the name on the certificate as Stern."
Debra Opri was immediately prepared to file a fraud action against Stern on behalf of
