Summary
Larry Birkhead said he filed a complaint with the California Medical Board against Dr. Sandeep Kapoor over Kapoor’s involvement in “Trust Me, I’m a Doctor,” an Anna Nicole Smith film due Oct. 16.
Birkhead said Kapoor had previously assured him he would stop discussing Smith publicly, and argued a doctor should not turn a former patient’s life into a movie nearly 20 years after her 2007 overdose death.
The film is based on Kapoor’s memoir; he was charged with six felonies tied to prescriptions for Smith before being acquitted on all counts in 2010 after a nine-week trial.
Birkhead said neither he nor daughter Dannielynn is involved in the production, criticized Abbie Cornish’s portrayal of Smith, and suggested Smith’s diaries and documents could eventually support what he called her true story.
