Angelina Jolie to Help Out Financially Strapped Nadya Suleman

Angelina Jolie is reportedly considering helping Nadya Suleman out of financial troubles

As Nadya Suleman, the now almost infamous OctoMom, is receiving her babies home, two at a time, word in the industry is that her future is nothing but bleak as regards money. Aside from spending as much as a couple of thousand of dollars on clothes for herself, Suleman has lost several contracts with diaper and baby items companies, sources say. However, Angelina Jolie might be coming to her rescue, as gossip blogger Perez Hilton says, citing well-informed spies.

Although, in the past, when talk emerged of how much Suleman looked like Angelina Jolie, with the help of some plastic surgery, it had been suggested, rumor had it that the Hollywood actress was “creeped out” by the overnight star, she might have had a change of heart just recently. According to several reports in US tabloids and glossy magazines, Jolie is actually considering lending a helping hand to Suleman, especially now that she’s heading for troubled financial waters.

“Angelina is worried about the best interests of the kids. As a mom of six, she knows how chaotic and costly raising a big family can be.” an unnamed source tells the media, as quoted by Star magazine. “She doesn’t necessarily approve of Nadya, and she doesn’t want to turn the situation into even more of a circus.” the same spy adds, saying that the actress will see to it that Suleman gets all the help she needs without drawing more media attention to her case.

Speaking of media attention, it is precisely this that is costing Suleman contracts and endorsements. At first, it is said, the OctoMom was optimistic about raising 14 children (the octuplets and other six) despite not having a job, because she was certain her case, once it made it on TV and in the newspaper headlines, would draw attention and money from well-wishers. Now, since she’s been getting mostly bad press in recent weeks, it turns out that companies no longer want to have their name associated with hers.

Due to the backlash from the public, many sponsors are dropping OctoMom. According to an interview Nadya gave recently, Huggies and Pampers diapers already dropped their support. And diapers are pricey! OctoMom said, ‘All of the diaper companies and formula companies rescinded their offers.’ A rep for Gerber has also said they weren’t planning on donating to the family. Though, as a friend of Suleman points out, ‘The problem is that Nadya has become a lightning rod for bad publicity – and it is the babies who are losing out’.” Perez Hilton writes on his blog.

I hope they take the kids from her. One of nannies tested positive for TBand the hospital allowed the kids to come home? Her father goes on the AARP site begging for money from senior citizens? Why doesn't he step up to the plate and support her? It's not up to us, we have our own problems regarding the economy, job loss, etc. She's out there buying clothes, makeup, etc?She should be buying stuff for the kids, NOT herself!!Does she expect people to support her and her kids for the next 18 years? Not gonna happen!!!She's a mental case and will do anything for money, next we'll hear she'll pose nude for some magazine.

I'm not at all surprised that sponsors such as pampers are withdrawing their support. Although, I am very sure that if miss Suleman was married, this would be a moot issue. Nobody would care if she had fourteen kids. Seriously, people-a husband, just having one more person to help raise these kids-isn't going to help much here. If she were married, he couldn't guarantee the kids' financial future. No two people can really afford to raise fourteen kids, unless they are billionaires. And not all husbands are hands on dads, meaning that if she had a man in her life, she isn't guaranteed someone to help out. And bottom line, not all fathers are ideal dads or good role models. So, let's cut her some slack, and support these babies!
At least Jolie is. She feels the same about Suleman, but is doing what's best for the babies. Good for her. Now, let's all follow suit. These kids are going to need lots of help if they are going to have a decent childhood. Don't punish them for the mistake(s) of their mother.

I hope Ms. Jolie intends to pay the medical bills that the people of the state will probably have to absorb.

why does she have to buy brand name diapers anyway. there's the generic brand. it has to be good enough for people who work to support their children.

Pampers Never offered Nayda FREE diapers, Pampers made an officals statement last night on Showbiz Tonight. Someone is not telling the truth
again wonder who. If Pampers had made the offer they would have come through on the offer, Nayda is toxic she uses this word to describe AIW, I think the term applies to her also, Those poor children.

I'am sick and tired of all the negative talk regarding Nayda. Let's give this woman and her small children a break and help them ,she and the babies need all the help they can get and I think it is a disgrace how people have been treating her! These 8 little babies are born American citizens ,not crimnals,neither is their mother she did not murder 8 people she gave them life at the expense of her own. Maybe she made a mistake having so many children,but who has'nt made mistakes in life, How awful that the people in this country would throw stones of hatred at this poor woman as she struggles to do the best she can for her children. Those 14 children could very well grow up to be a doctor or a fireman or perhaps a United States Marine and sacrifice to save your life or one of your children. God bless you Nayda I wish you and your family all the best!

Hey Gloria,
Why don't you bring the babies to your house? Nadia didn't make a mistake she paid for and calculated this move, putting the very same kids she says she loves at risk for, birth defects, financial indebtedness, poor care, poor parenting, and opportunites in the future. All of this for fame....even if it is negative. She is a "nut job".

Running out of money??? Big money is rolling in every day. Donations aren't taxable either & don't count against welfare & her "insurance" (Medicaid), or her food stamps. I'll bet the father is stashing money for her in his homeland account. The only way Octomom, would be running out of money is if she keeps spending $1,000. on her clothes,expensive shoes, make-up & hot tubs. If Angelina is going to help, I'll never go to the movies to see her or Brad again. Hell, I won't even watch either of them on TV. If she wants to help the children, let her ADOPT THEM. That seems to be her forte.

What a surpise, that "promiscous" broad helping another one, with no moral character. Jolie, "pass around" is cut from the same cloth. Great bedfellows" They are 2 of a kind and deserve each other. Maybe Brad will fall in love with Nadia too.

I am not at all on nadias side but I am on the side of those inniocent babies, people are offering to help for all the 14 children, not the crazy lady, Have a heart where the kids are concerned by cutting off diapers and formula how are those babies supposed to stay alive and healthy or is that what you think should happen yo Teach the nut job a lesson? I think the lady needrs mentally evaluated for a very long time but to want the babies to go without help to teach her a lesson is wrong I hope and pray that those 14 children get all the help they need even if it has to be in the form of someome else buying the childrens needs to make sure the mother doesn't spend it on herself. God in Heavrn Please protect those babies and children even if it is from their mother Amen

those babies never should have been born. it's too late now. now they should be put up for adoption. she knew she could not afford to have those octuplets nor 1 other baby. she already had six she could not afford.the woman is sick. she should not be allowed to have children. anyone with any amount of intelligence can see that she is just exploiting the children for her own personal gain and publicity. aany of you out there that are sympathetic towards should give her the money she needs....not the government or the state tax payers.

I think is is great that Angela Jolie can help out Nadya, for the children
Shame on Huggies, Pamper and Gerber I will never buy or recommend their products.
She is doing the best she can after a bad choice and will live and learn from it the rest of her life. God Bless her and all that help her.
