A new film about Anna Nicole Smith's doctor has sparked controversy among Smith's family. Larry Birkhead, the father of the late pop culture icon's daughter Dannielynn, stated that they are completely opposed to the production of the film titled "Trust Me, I’m a Doctor." The film is based on Dr. Sandeep Kapoor's book of the same name published in 2017 and focuses on his controversial friendship with Smith.

In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Birkhead said, "We are not involved in this production. We are absolutely against Anna Nicole's life or my daughter's life being used in a film and being characterized by a doctor." This statement highlights the family's concerns about how Smith's life and legacy are represented.

The film is set to premiere on October 16 and is expected to generate further discussion about Smith's life and career. While the family emphasizes that they do not want Smith's life to be handled in this way, they also question the ethical dimensions of such projects. Birkhead's comments could spark an important debate about how Hollywood handles real-life stories.
