Yesterday, news broke that Nadya Suleman was about to get her own reality show that would detail her life as a mother of 14, as well as her quest for a suitable partner. Although not a single mention was made of the network that would carry the show, word spread fast and even those who used to work once with OctoMom are outraged at her audacity. Gloria Allred is one of these persons, and she’s making it a point of letting the entire world know her true feelings via an interview with OK! Magazine.
Allred worked with Suleman as she tried to broker for her a deal with the non-profit organization Angels In Waiting for competent nannies that would help her raise her 14 children. The deal went sour when Allred suggested that Suleman’s mother skills were far from what she made them out to be, and the outspoken attorney left OctoMom to her own devices. Hearing now that she is working on a reality show, Allred wants the world to know that Suleman is only using the children as props. “It appeared to the nurses and myself that Nadya treated her babies as props and as part of a television set for those who were filming her. When the cameras were not rolling she was absent from the babies and the nurses for significant blocks of time and never volunteered to feed the babies herself. She also asked AIW many times if they would agree that she could have a reality show. AIW is on the record telling her that they would not allow it because of the risk of infection from the presence of dirty cameras, audio equipment and electrical cords – and the concern for the emotional well-being of all of her children.” Allred says of the time she spent in the same house with Suleman. However, the fact that Suleman is now coming out with a reality show is irrefutable proof that she’s trying to profit off her children, even at the risk of putting their health in danger. Suleman, Allred adds, is far from the perfect mother she is trying to make the world see her, and going on with the reality series is testimony to that beyond all doubt. Making money off the children, Allred underlines, should be last on Suleman’s priority list, and she should be focusing more on the wellbeing of the children. “If she goes ahead with it she needs to spend less time looking for a man and more time mothering her 14 children. If she is looking for men, she is looking for love in all the wrong places. Rather than doing a reality show, she needs to deal with the reality that she has 14 children (a number with special needs) who need her to be there with them to love them and be a real mother to them. That is the reality that she needs to face. Her children need a mother who will protect them and their privacy, not a mother who appears ready to auction off their privacy to the highest bidder.” the attorney further explains.

| Comment #1 by: d moffett on 08 Apr 2009, 14:41 UTC | reply to this comment | It is obvious what Nadia is doing. I can not believe she will get away with it, but she will because the press won't stay away. They are keeping her in the public eye and she is eating it up. |
| Comment #2 by: newenglandblonde on 08 Apr 2009, 14:45 UTC | reply to this comment | Boycott, boycott, boycott all advertisers....PLEASE! |
| Comment #2.1 by: sushshaf on 17 Apr 2009, 20:58 GMT | if you boycott it means that she will be dependent on the state and federal for assistance. is that what you want?
if you think that you can somehow bankrupt her into giving up the kids to the state you are wrong. nadya will never sign adoption papers and the kids would at best be fostered. is that really the best solution? the state is then responsible to the cost of raising them as well. her father stated that he wants his grandkids to be all together. you are not just fighting nadya you are fighting the whole family. you do not know how big that family is. nadya received an inheritance from an aunt so they must be pretty tight.
whatever nadya has bought since the birth of the babies has been with money she got from interviews and selling images. those are hers to sell.
she has had meetings with production companies and who knows else. doesn't it make sense that she should look a little professional. she has been pregnant for the last 8 years. i think this would be the first time in all those years that she has probably bought new clothes. |
| Comment #3 by: juice on 08 Apr 2009, 15:05 UTC | reply to this comment | I hope that if this reality show come about that people refuses to watch it. That will send a strong message that we are tired of all of the garbage that is put on TV nowadays. It also proves that she intentionally had these 8 kids to get attention and possibly become rich off of them. I think the state should find her an unfit mother. |
| Comment #4 by: becky on 08 Apr 2009, 16:11 UTC | reply to this comment | Isn't the show thing what she was after anyway. Why else would you have 14 kids that you know you can't take care of. There are already 2 shows on the tube about large families. I wouldn't watch this show if it was the only thing on. |
| Comment #5 by: Robert on 08 Apr 2009, 17:38 UTC | reply to this comment | I think someone needs to do a little more story research. As I understand it, Gloria Allred did not quit, but was fired by octomom. Apparently, Ms. Allred was not getting the love and attention she felt she deserved. So now, she turns her sites towards the woman she wanted to use for her own devices.
Don't get me wrong.... octomom is - at the very least - off her nut. However, painting Ms. Allred and the defender of morality and rightness is not even vaguely on the same planet as the truth. |
| Comment #6 by: RAA on 11 Apr 2009, 22:50 UTC | reply to this comment | This girl, and I say "girl" because a woman is ready and willing to be a mother, Sulya, is SO in need of psychological help! The fact that she has 14 kids is a travesty, the fact that she is now planning to use them for financial gain only shows what a low life form she is! Who, in their right mind, would want to have that many children , without a father figure around to help? Or maybe she plans to continue to use and abuse her parents and their kindness with childcare responsibilities. I don't care WHAT network picks up this show, out of empathy and concern for these children she chose to bring into this world, I would NOT watch a minute of it, even IF I was paid!! Shame on these people for promoting this moron, it's these children who'll suffer through this pitiful ordeal. And, to Sulya, good luck finding a man, you're going to need it, unless he's an attention-craving idiot like you!
You bring new meaning to the word, "mother." How sad! |
| Comment #7 by: realitybites on 11 Apr 2009, 23:33 UTC | reply to this comment | I totally agree Boycott any shows with Octo-nut on them - do not watch -even for a second .This woman is a total scammer and I feel truly sorry for her children -growing up with someone who only thinks of herself . I will not watch any shows , buy any magazines , or do anything else that will allow this woman to continue using these precious children , and the rest of society [ that mistakenly think they are helping by supporting her . I truly believe that the needs of these children would be better served living in adoptive family homes with couples who will put their needs first. Just because you can give birth does not make you a mother . Scam artists are good because some foolishly believe their lies . Children need to be raised by ADULTS - capable of providing , loving , and always putting their children first . By the way - I'm not a parent - and no -not by choice . I do believe however that having children is not a right but a very special privilege. |
| Comment #8 by: Twiggy on 08 May 2009, 17:11 UTC | reply to this comment | Ok everyone picks on this women because, she is not working....Now she has an option of earning money to keep all these children feed and clothed and just like Rosie. People want to take the income options away...Lawyers,Doctors and Nurses have jobs were they can not be home a lot with there kids no one ever cares about them. Now this women has an option to help her self and the kids so she can stay at home. Still people try to control that..Real life for many years there are places to help women with multiple births they are expensive, maybe it was silly to want to keep all 8 in beginning but, now they are here. You can not change that now let her and her kids live there lives, with what ever jobs she can receive having that many kids at home. Her house is clean from all the pictures and she is good mom from all the news and interviews. I can not keep my house clean with two teens and lost my daughter for a while because of stress, I give this women a lot of credit. I would go nuts with that many kids and I love kids too...(If it were a foster home they just send foster parents a whole bunch of kids and do not even make sure foster mom has enough help) There are not enough foster homes for them to take kids away just because, people are pissed the women may be a tad out there..Loving her children is better then obsessing over some abusive guy. So who cares if she is getting a realty show she is helping her family and removing some of the government payments that everyone wants her off...Welfare and Foster care are the same.Only difference is foster parent gets much more per child a month, Welfare is based on per family income. So welfare, Cps or let her help herself and her kids lower welfare help.. Let her do the show of course she is proving herself to be good mom just like many other multiple birth parents so she is famous oh well.. |
| Comment #8.1 by: Portlyric on 09 May 2009, 21:51 GMT | A good mom? You must have really high standards. She won't be doing a reality show in this country because no one will watch it. Nadya Suleman is trash and no one wants to watch a selfish, pathetic loser try to raise 14 children between plastic surgeries and trips to the mall. Watching a conartist exploit and manipulate 14 defenseless children for a buck is way too much reality for most of us. |
| Comment #9 by: Samuel on 08 May 2009, 23:12 UTC | reply to this comment | Is this the same woman who goaded Scott Peterson's mistress and his sister into letting her have the rights to part of their books ....all in the name of "protecting the victims"? Gloria will do anything for attention and money. |
