Octomom did it again. She did something really crazy. What did she do this time? She fired the team of free nannies that she had partnered with. This week, Nadya Suleman canned the Angels in Waiting that were be attending to her brood free of charge. Her plan now is to hire her own nannies to care for the kids. I guess the whole being a media sensation is really paying off and she can now afford to pay for that kind of care.
The drama started when one of Suleman’s personally hired nannies called 911 to have Gloria Allred, the legal powerhouse who arranged the Angels in Waiting deal, to be removed from the house. Then next thing you know, the whole gang is out of Octoland. Suleman had “several confrontations with the nurses” and she felt they were spying on her and in turn reporting what they found to child welfare officials. Jeff Czech, her attorney said that “Nadya felt that she was being judged wrongfully, and she didn't need it."
"Yes, it's true. I released AIW," Suleman said in a statement to Us Weekly. "It was really bad. That's all I can say. I can't confirm, why, in particular. I will be releasing the details soon." And Gloria Allred told US Magazine that "We have no comment at this time. We will respond tomorrow afternoon with the true facts." When she says “tomorrow afternoon” she is referring to the taping of yet another Dr. Phil episode on Octomom being taped where Suleman, Allred and the Angels in Waiting will get into the ring for some on-air sparring.
If you were in her shoes would you say no to all that free and well-trained help?
UPDATE:
Suleman told Dr. Phil about firing the Angels in Waiting, "The primary issue was that myself and my nannies felt extremely uncomfortable. I personally felt like a stranger in my own home. The goal was to empower me as a mother, help me, train me. I'm open to that, I want that, I want to do the very best for these...premature babies. I wanted [Angels] to use their training and knowledge to help guide me. I felt that was never accomplished. I felt as though every time I tried to hold the babies, feed the babies, they would be observing and they were waiting for me to make a mistake."
Perhaps that’s what drove Nadya, according to Gloria Allred, upstairs away from the babies? Allred told the Today Show, “How can she succeed if she is subjecting her babies to potential risks of harm? If she doesn’t even come into the nursery to feed her own babies, to hold them, to bathe them, to change them, to love them, to bond with them, except when the cameras are rolling?” She continued to say, “There’s only a few hours beyond the time when the cameras were rolling that she actually came into the nursery when she was there to care for her babies, and that’s wrong.”
Suleman’s assumptions that Angels in Waiting were observing and reporting on her to the authorities was not unfounded. Allred confirmed that Angels in Waiting has filed three separate complaints with child welfare officials. Suleman was also made uneasy by the head of Angels in Waiting, Linda Conforti, warning Suleman of child abduction and that Suleman felt “nauseous” after Conforti saying that one of the babies would fit into her purse and could be taken away.
Allred and Angels in Waiting all agree that more security needs to arranged for the home and that it’s a “dangerous situation.” Allred said on the Today show that “Look, we need security here for these babies. Yet, instead of providing security, she puts in her own Jacuzzi instead of hiring security guards,”
I’m personally getting tired of all this drama. Aren’t you?
