Larry Birkhead isn't staying quiet about the upcoming Anna Nicole Smith biopic.
In a new interview with Entertainment Tonight, Birkhead said he "absolutely" opposes Trust Me, I'm a Doctor, an upcoming film centered on Dr. Sandeep Kapoor, the physician who treated Smith before her death in 2007.
"We absolutely object to any of Anna Nicole's, my life, my daughter's life being used in a movie," Birkhead said. "And being made characters out of someone who was a doctor that supposedly people were supposed to trust."
The film is based on Kapoor's 2017 memoir about treating Smith in the years leading up to her fatal drug overdose at age 39. Kapoor was later charged with illegally prescribing medications to the model but was acquitted in 2010. Actor Kal Penn portrays Kapoor in the film, while Abbie Cornish stars as Smith.
Birkhead, who dated Smith from 2003 to 2006 and shares 19-year-old daughter Dannielynn Birkhead with the late model, said he previously warned Kapoor and his representatives about the impact the project could have on his family.
"I warned them about the harm and the emotional distress that this puts on not just myself but also, most importantly, Dannielynn," he told the outlet.
Birkhead also revealed he has filed a complaint with the California Medical Board over Kapoor's participation in the project.
As for the casting, Birkhead said he doesn't believe anyone has fully captured Smith on screen.
"I have yet to see someone who actually embodied the spirit and the looks and the persona of Anna Nicole," he said.
Trust Me, I'm a Doctor is scheduled to open in theaters on Oct. 16.
