Larry Birkhead Defends His Lingerie Purchase

Larry Birkhead
Just last week Larry Birkhead made headlines when he bought pieces of lingerie once worn by Anna Nicole Smith to hand over to his daughter Dannielynn. His $3,000 bid wasn’t received highly, as he was criticized for his actions.

Hollyscoop caught up with Larry Birkhead last night at the “Hancock” movie premiere and asked him if he wanted to defend his purchase and what his thoughts were on the negative publicity he received.

Birkhead said: "I don't need to defend myself. That’s just part of life, I can do whatever I want. Its not like she’s going to wear it today. It's just something I am putting away as a keepsake.”

Birkhead also mentioned that it wasn't his first purchase. “I go online and buy things from other parts of Anna’s career. Whether it’s stuff from movies she was in or things like that, and nobody hears about that. This happening to be a public auction, so some people made a big deal about it.”

Birkhead went on to say that he didn’t need to defend himself because “It’s something that was pure.” In regards to those who criticized him, he says, “they don’t understand my daughter's mother is dead. So I have to basically put together history things that she doesn’t know. Playboy was a part of her history, so it's not going to be something I talk about tomorrow at bedtime, that’s sesame street. We probably have another 20 years to go before we get to Playboy.”

We also asked Birkhead if Dannielynn is at an age where she recognizes her mother. “She knows her mom, we have things at the house like pictures and all kinds of movies. She knows her mother and her brother, she lost Daniel too.”

How about putting some of that dough away for her future, instead of blowing it on things from her tragic past.

Im a grandmother raising a grandson whos mom left him when he was 1 month old and hadnt been back since. Anything I find of hers that my son finds we put up in a box for him. We even have one shoe she wore. But the point it was her and wore it and touched it at one time. Some people may not understand that, but when he get big he may want something that was her and I think that is where Larry is going with this. They wont always be babies.

I think the argument that people "don't understand" that he wants to memorialize Anna's past is bogus. I have a mother who died when I was young and yes, I want her memorialized, but not with her trashy lingerie. Is he also going to show Dannielynn her mother's crazy clown video? Is he going to parade the Marshall family around while he explains how her mother tried to bilk them out of millions? His explanation just doesn't hold water.

First of all it's none of our business how he chooses to spend his money. Perhaps he wants some sort of a shrine for his daughter or maybe he wants it for himself. I don't envy his position of raising his child with all that has transpired. For the sake of the little girl, why don't we all just give them a break and let them have a chance at a good life. I don't believe he is sick at all, just trying to make the best decisions in a highly unusual situation.
