Out of curiosity I sent an e-mail to TMZ.com today asking why the two original stories they printed about allegations raised against Birkhead and Stern removed. I specifically asked if they were removed out of fear of retailiation from Stern's lawyer, Lin Wood. It is being reported that Lin Wood is sending letters around to the media threatening lawsuits if they reprint Rita Cosby's allegations.
As of now I have not received a response.
