I think you are right Rte66. I think the deal would be, I will raise the money for your legal bills and either A) Raised the ‘legal bill’ to astronomical levels not realizing the money making ability she had on her hands with LB or B) Decided that you are my slave and any and all proceeds are MINE! Either way, it’s not right and Larry finally woke up and realized that he got snookered.
I don’t think Debri shouldn’t make any money for her LEGAL WORK, but not for being his agent. Those are two totally seperate thing, IMO. But I don’t think Larry is gay and it was a big giant conspiracy on he and HKS scheme from the start as some tinfoil hatters have suggested on here. And I don’t think that HKS is behind the lawsuit. If anything I have learned from watching him through this entire thing... Larry has a mind (and conviction to do things he feels is right) on his own. And I do believe he loved Anna. The Non-HKS Anna. Even I was smitten with her humor and beauty. I have been in a toxic relationship with a very handsome man, who was completely not good for me. A complete narcissist who left me a crumpled heap in the end. I learned my lesson, but I also left fighting for the wellbeing of my children with him. And my current husband (learned well from the last bad choice) DID fight for his child. His wife left him and didn’t tell him where his son is and he tracked them down, prosecuted for kidnapping and raised him alone from five years until I met him 10 years later. There ARE men who care about their children. And mine (the good one, regarding our child together) would have fought me across the world if I left while pregnant. Not all men are child support avoiding pigs.
Well, no, I only think the contract DO negotiated for him, by his agreement, with the express purpose of paying his legal bills with her, is the one she is entitled to the proceeds from - to go into her client trust account for disbursement accordingly.
Seems like a win-win situation to me. He was making other contracts with other media elsewhere, on his own. I don’t know why this particular one is sticking in his craw so badly.
I really don’t think Opri’s bill is astronomical at all. $475 is not cheap but it’s certainly out of line. Who recommended her?? I don’t believe she was the initiator. He chose a female attorney for a reason.
