Larry
Birkhead: "Anna Nicole Smith Drug Use Didn't Make Baby Cross
Eyed"
1/15/08
The father of Anna Nicole Smith's baby daughter has hit back at reports
connecting the tot's eye disorder to medications her late mother may have
taken while she was pregnant.
Baby Dannielynn has been forced to wear an eye patch and take
medication to correct strabismus, which is slowly turning her cross-eyed.
But her father, Larry Birkhead, insists tabloid reports linking the
disorder to Smith's drug use are far-fetched.
In an exclusive interview with U.S. news show Entertainment Tonight,
which will air on Monday (14Jan08), Birkhead says, "All of the
opinions that I had (from doctors), every one of them said that it's very,
very unlikely, because no one knows 100 per cent what causes this.
"I point-blank ask every single doctor, 'Could any medications
that Anna was on have caused this?' and they said that it's more likely
that a genetic reason could have caused it."
