Nadya Suleman & Radar Online Broke Labor Laws

State labor officials have cited the entertainment website that has been chronicling the life of octuplets mother Nadya Suleman and her children, officials told The Times.

Radar Online is cited for failure to obtain an entertainment permit, failure to have an entertainment permit on file, failure to have a studio teacher on site and allowing the babies to be available for filming beyond the hours allowed.

The accusations involve one day of filming -- March 17 -- when the first two of Suleman's eight babies were brought from the hospital home to a media frenzy.

Officials said the investigation was ongoing. The four citations involve six violations and carry a $3,000 fine, said Dean Fryer, spokesman for the California Labor Commission.

Officials at Radar Online could not be immediately be reached for comment.

[Updated at 1 p.m.: The single mother catapulted onto the public stage after giving birth on Jan. 26 to the world’s longest-surviving set of octuplets. She immediately became a focal point for populist rage after it was learned that she was jobless, unmarried, on welfare and already had six children. All 14 of her children were conceived through in vitro fertilization.

Under the state’s labor code, RadarOnline should have obtained an entertainment permit for filming any child age 15 days to 18 years old. Fryer said they did not obtain one for that day, nor did they have one on file. In addition, filming is only allowable for 20 minutes per day between the hours of 9:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m., Fryer said.

On March 17, filming took place late that night as Radar accompanied Suleman from the hospital to her La Habra home. They were chased by phalanx of paparazzi, and when they arrived home, the scene outside resembled a rock concert. Helicopters flew overhead, dozens of camerapeople from around the world, along with hundreds of curious onlookers mobbed her cul-de-sac, prompting more than 200 calls to 911, including one from Suleman herself.

“They were brought home late in the evening, so it would have been beyond the hours set in the Labor Code,” Fryer said. “They were filmed in the home of Nadya Suleman. RadarOnline had control of the environment there. Our understanding is that they rearranged the furniture to set the scene. They set the lighting.”

The state codes also require that RadarOnline have a teacher on site. In the case of infants, that teacher would be responsible for overseeing the babies moral well-being, safety and health, Fryer said.]

Somebody needs to be there to oversee those babies health and safety, because that doesn't seem to be Nadya's primary focus. Those babies are Nadya's cash cow and she is going to do what she has to to exploit them.

Pot Meet Kettle

Nadya Suleman is trying to act like the deal she just inked isn't a for a reality show. She is busy pretending that the series will be more cerebral, like a documentary. She even said that she doesn't want to exploit her children like Jon and Kate Gosselin. Well, she wouldn't have a television show without her kids.

Suleman also set up trust funds for her children. Each of her children will have 15% of their earnings deposited into a trust. But before you think she is trying to do the right thing for her children you should know that it is required by the State of California to protect child performers. And the kids will be earning the money by appearing on camera.

PETA Asks Nadya Suleman Not To Get Pet

Too bad there wasn't someone to beg her not to have more children.

Octo-Mom Nadya Suleman is thinking about buying a pet, but PETA doesn't think a new member of the family is such a good idea for the mother of 14 children.

"In today's uncertain economy -- and with all the demands that come with raising 14 children -- we urge you to reconsider adding two more dependents to your family," PETA's Michelle Cho wrote in a letter to Suleman. (They seem to realize that Radar won't be paying Nadya for exclusives forever, even if Nadya doesn't)

The unemployed mother of 14 -- who relies on public assistance to pay for her eight nannies (My tax dollars at work.)-- said last week that she was considering adding a pet to the mix.

"For a couple of years, the kids have been asking for a dog," Suleman said. "I've actually been looking into a pig, like a little one."

(Suleman's attorney, Jeff Czech, told Usmagazine.com that the pet would be "probably a dog -- probably a Shih Tzu.")

PETA, the world's largest animal rights organization with more than 2 million members, hopes Suleman will reconsider.

"Like children, pigs and dogs are intelligent, social beings with complex needs," Cho wrote in the letter, given exclusively to Us "They require a lot of attention, space, and exercise as well as a huge financial commitment."

Suleman said that if she were to buy a pig, it would wear a diaper and live outside the family's $564,000 La Habra, Calif. home because of its smell.

"Keeping a pig outside and making him or her a playmate for your children -- who do not understand a pig's many needs and will only pay attention to him or her when it suits them -- is not an acceptable way to treat an intelligent animal such as this," Cho wrote.

Instead of new pets, PETA encourages the mom to help her children make friends.

"We hope that your recent move to your new home will allow your children to form fast friendships with kids in your neighborhood with whom they share similar interests," Cho wrote.

PETA's warning will probably fall on deaf ears. We all know that Nadya doesn't think things all the ways through.

Nadya Suleman Trademarks Octomom

Here is what happening in the world of Nadya Suleman:

• Nadya is trying to trademark the term Octomom for a line of children's clothes and disposable diapers. I think she should be trademarking "crazy, lying baby factory." She spent $550 to do so, but may have to ask WIC to help her pay for the babies' milk. Somebody doesn't have their priorities straight.
  
• A man actually asked her out. She didn't know him, he just came up to her in the grocery and asked her out. He's either another media whore or a child molester.
• Nadya said she was a stripper for a night. But it seems that Nadya was a stripper called "Angelina", as in Jolie, for at least a year.

La Habra Police Have Spent Over $4000 In Overtime to Guard Suleman Octuplets

La Habra police say it has cost the department $4,000 in overtime to look after Octomom Nadya Suleman and her family. (And that is just the overtime cost.)

More resources were spent checking on the Suleman family during regular patrol hours and responding to calls at the house, but the cost of these operations is unknown, police said.

Suleman, 33, gave birth to the longest-living octuplets in history on Jan. 26. She has six other children, all younger than 8. She has been criticized in the media because she is single, unemployed and was supporting her family before the octuplets were born with food stamps, disability payments and student loans. (And that is how she will be supporting her children once people finally tire of her.)

La Habra Police Department spokeswoman Cindy Knapp said the city will not seek restitution from Suleman for the police escorts that accompanied some of the babies home from Kaiser Permanente Bellflower Medical Center, or for other costs associated with keeping the family safe.

"Virtually all police services are free to residents of the community," Knapp said. "There are no legal provisions or paths for cost recovery under the specific circumstances or service provided to the Sulemans at this point." The department began working closely with the Suleman family after the two strongest of the infants were brought home in mid-March. The black SUV carrying Suleman, the babies and nurses was swarmed by paparazzi at stoplights. (That is a load of crap. I bet there are dozens of women in La Habra with restraining orders who can barely get the cops to come out when it is violated. In most cities if you want a police escort for something like a funeral you have to pay for it...in advance. I bet La Habra is one of those cities. The just can't come out and say that Suleman is getting special treatment because she is a baby factory.)

At Madonna Lane, the cul-de-sac where Suleman recently moved with her family, hundreds of spectators waited for the babies' arrival and more than a dozen photographers clung to the SUV as a driver attempted to pull into the garage and shut the door.

Suleman made a call to police from inside the vehicle, but they did not arrive until the family was already in the home.

Knapp said when the second and third sets of two babies were discharged from the hospital, police units and a supervisor guarded the cul-de-sac for the family.

"The family arrived home without incident," Knapp said.

On the fourth discharge, this time of just one baby, two police cars shadowed the Sulemans' vehicle as it traveled through La Habra to her home. On the final release, no escort was needed, Knapp said.

Police have also responded to at least four calls at the house, when intruders were reported in the yard, when no-trespassing signs were stolen and when a car seat was thrown through the rear window of Suleman's Toyota minivan.

Periodic patrols of the neighborhood were also done, Knapp said, but she did not know how often those checks are being made.

"The frequency is based upon unit availability and general observations by the field officers," Knapp said.

In the weeks after Suleman moved to La Habra, more than a dozen paparazzi and television crews camped in the neighborhood, waiting for a glimpse of members of her family.

On Thursday, only two paparazzi waited outside the home. (People are losing interest. Radar isn't going to keep paying her if nobody wants to hear what she has to say.)

"It's died down considerably," La Habra spokeswoman Jennifer Cervantez said. She said the city has not incurred administrative costs or changed parking policies in the area.

Suleman told RadarOnline on Thursday that since the babies have all come home, life is surprisingly easy because the support staff of nannies and nursing advice she has been given.

She had expressed fears about security while media still crowded her driveway.

"It's a huge weight lifted off," Suleman said. "It's organized more than I ever imagined it would be and it's a lot easier than I imagined because of all the help."

Nadya Suleman Has Not Closed Television Deal

Nadya Suleman may have spoken too soon when she said she had inked a deal with Eyeworks to produce what she's calling a documentary, and I am calling a reality show (Filming six time a year for 18 years is a reality show.)

Eyeworks told press, “At this time we are in active negotiations with Nadya and her attorney for an unscripted format following the life of Nadya and her children. Nadya’s story is a unique and exciting one that needs to be told in the right manner. ... We are confident that we are the right party to tell their story around the world.”

So it looks like the crazy baby factory will be adding baby pimp to her limited resume.

Nadya Suleman Has Confirmed Television Show

Nadya has finally confirmed that she plans to do a television show with her massive family. She told press, “Yes, it is official. I’m going to be doing a show, but it’s not a reality show.”

She continued, “What I’m doing with this TV show is basically creating documentaries about the lives of my children. It’s going to be an ongoing thing, and it will follow them from now until they are 18. It’s being done by Eyeworks; they’re in the UK. It will air in the UK and then we’ll see if the US is interested.”

Suleman added, “The producers will come here to film six times a year. They’ll come by and take some footage and then they’ll go. They won’t be invading my life or my children’s lives… It will give me the opportunity to have incredible home movies that, believe me, I don’t have the time to make myself. Having this documentary crew allows me to focus on raising my children and still have great movies of them.”

Somebody should tell Miss Suleman that even if they only film six times a year it is still a reality show. She is still making a living by whoring out her children on a fancy reality show. But at least we don't have to watch her try to date.

And I have a question. Does Nadya do anything other than shop?

All The Octuplets Have Gone Home

Nadya Suleman now has all eight babies at home, so she can officially start whoring them out. One of the things standing in the way of her inking a deal for a television show was that little Jonah was still in the hospital. Now the whole world will have the opportunity to watch Nadya find love while a team of nannies raise her 14 kids.

Jonah, who was just 1 pound 8 ounces when he was born, now weighs a whopping 4 pounds 10 ounces. And since he can maintain his own body temperature and feed from a bottle, the hospital felt obliged to send him home. Which means that since Medi-cal pays a reduced rate they don't the freeloader's baby anymore.

"Kaiser is comfortable with the level of care they’re providing for the babies," hospital spokesman, Socorro Serrano said.

Nadya Suleman Re-Applying For Public Aide

Octo Mom Nadya Suleman is thinking about applying for food stamps -- again -- to feed her 14 children.

"If I need to apply for [the Women, Infants and Children program] to provide my babies with formula, then I'm going to," she told the local Whittier Daily News Wednesday.

Suleman -- who is unemployed -- used to receive over $400 a month in food stamps, but stopped getting them after she made enough money selling photos and doing video blogs that she could afford a $564,000 home.

Suleman told the newspaper that formula alone for her octuplets costs $2,000 a month.

"That's a lot of money for formula," she admitted.

"I have to let go of what people think," continued the mom, who once received death threats after soliciting donations on a Web site. "I can't live like that."

(Suleman isn't the only family member hard up for cash. Her parents are also seeking money-making opportunities, the newest issue of Us Weekly reports.)

Suleman fired charity Angels in Waiting last month, which had provided free care. She's now using nurses from Kaiser Permanente Medical Center, and accepting state aid to pay for it.

My goal is to get my kids off of (Medi-Cal)," she said.

Jonah -- who has a cleft lip -- is the last baby still hospitalized. Another of her children is diagnosed as autistic, while a third has ADHD.

Why is the crazy baby factory dropping a fortune on makeup, clothes, and getting her hair done if she can't afford to buy formula. She spent over a $1000 buying makeup at MAC, and then went on a spending spree at Bebe. But she has needs the government to buy her formula. Why not use some of that money that she is going to get doing a reality show to buy her babies' milk.

And she just moved into a half a million dollar home! That is in her broke father's name! That cow is hiding assets. It is obvious to the whole world that this woman is committing welfare fraud, so why isn't the state going after her?

It disgusts me. WIC isn't exactly food stamps, but it isn't for people who have teams of nannies. They provide you with vouchers to buy formula, milk, and nutritious food for your kids (I know this because I have been stuck in line a million times while someone uses the vouchers.) I believe in giving a helping hand to those who have fallen on hard times, but this cow threw herself at hard times. And if she goes back to work, I bet the state will be picking up the tab for daycare too, the state of California really likes welfare moms to work. You and I will be paying for these kids for a long while.

Nadya Continues To Lie About Where She Got Money For Infertility Treatments

Octuplets mother Nadya Suleman says she used money from an inheritance and overtime wages from her job as a psychiatric technician to pay for her early fertilization procedures. Suleman told celebrity magazine Life & Style Weekly she spent at least $24,000 on the in vitro fertilization procedures that led to her first four babies.

She said she saved money for the procedures that cost about $6,000 each by working 16-hour days as a psychiatric technician (You would think that after the first child, she would want to spend time with her instead of continuing to work 16 hours days to pay for more.).

When her aunt died, Suleman said she used an undisclosed portion of her $30,000 inheritance to conceive twins. Leftover eggs from that in vitro pregnancy were frozen until she used them to give birth to the octuplets.

Suleman did not give financial details about the octuplets, though in vitro fertilization using frozen eggs is generally cheaper.

"Maybe it was selfish; I'm the first to admit that. Maybe putting in all the eggs was a mistake, but all I've ever wanted is a huge family," said Suleman, according to a transcript of the interview provided by the magazine.

After an on-the-job injury, Suleman collected more than $165,000 in state disability payments. (I bet some of that $165,000 went toward the conception of the octuplets. If it didn't she clearly had other resources, and the State of California should ask her to return some of the money it gave to her. Why is everyone tip toeing around the fact this woman committed welfare fraud.)

Suleman, 33, an unemployed single mother of 14 children, has been trailed by the paparazzi and endured much public scorn in the weeks since the octuplets were born prematurely on Jan. 26.

In the interview, Suleman vowed to protect the identity of the sperm donor but said she would like him to be part of the children's lives. She approached the donor several years ago to help her have children and "year after year, he kept helping me. (He must have been stupid, to keep donating sperm to an unemployed or even and underemployed woman.)"

She would not say whether they were lovers in the past but acknowledged the donor was upset when he found out she wanted more children after already having six.

"He was upset when I did it again. He said the same thing everyone else did: `You have six beautiful children — why do you want more?'" she recalled. (The question that she always refuses to give a truthful answer to. I wonder what she told him.)

The issue containing the eight-page spread hits newsstands in New York and Los Angeles on Wednesday and nationally on Friday. The interview was conducted Saturday at Suleman's new home in La Habra.

Life and Style Weekly did not pay for the interview, said Letena Lindsay, vice president of corporate communications of Bauer Publishing Group, which publishes the magazine. (She's giving away interviews because she needs to try to turn around public opinion so that somebody will watch her television show.)

Suleman said the octuplet births were painful.

"With that many babies, it feels like your insides are being torn apart," she said.

Seven of the eight babies have been discharged from the hospital. The last baby, Jonah, who was born with a small cleft on his lip, has to gain more weight before he can go home.

Is Someone Really Going To Give Nadya Suleman A TV Show

Nadya Suleman and six of her octuplets are photographed together for the first time on the cover of In Touch Weekly.

In the photo, Suleman appears surrounded by sleeping newborns Isaiah, Noah, Nariah, Maliah, Makai and Jeremiah.

The other two babies, Jonah and Josiah, remain in the neonatal intensive care unit at the Kaiser Permanante Medical Center in Bellflower, Calif.

“They just need a little more time to develop and grow and tolerate food,” hospital spokeswoman Beth Trombley told In Touch.

The accompanying piece details the conflict between Suleman, who has fought to raise all 14 of her children on her own, and the concerns of TV shrink Dr. Phil McGraw and attorney Gloria Allred.

“These babies should be placed in foster care,” Gloria Allred, an attorney for Angels in Waiting, which provided free nursing service to Nadya, tells In Touch. “There they would receive the individualized care that the babies need and deserve.”

Suleman admits in the magazine interview that her babies’ homecoming was a “total fiasco,” She had a “meltdown” and fired Angels in Waiting on March 22 after she accused them of spying on her.

“I felt like a stranger in my own home,” the 33-year-old single mom says. “I felt ostracized. I felt excluded. I felt as though every time I tried to hold the baby, feed the baby, they were waiting for me to make a mistake.”

Last week, Allred told TODAY that Suleman is more interested in cameras than the babies.

“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,” Allred said on March 25.

According to the magazine, Suleman is interested in a reality show as soon as sons Jonah and Josiah leave the hospital.

The magazine quotes an insider who says a deal is in place for her to be filmed 24/7. “It’s about Nadya trying to raise 14 children while looking for love,” the insider explains.

One condition: no more calling her “octomom.” According to the magazine, Suleman hates the moniker, and has been assured it won’t be part of the reality series’ title.

The In Touch article also addresses questions about Suleman’s sanity. Some of her neighbors in La Habra, Calif., are convinced she needs psychiatric help. “I really can’t believe anyone can be that screwed up in the head,” Debra Collins tells the magazine.

Adds another neighbor, Gloria Beck, “The woman is completely nuts. She thinks she’s famous. She doesn’t know that people are laughing at her, that she’s a freak.”

The issue is available on newsstands April 3.

Isn't it strange that everyone who comes into contact with this woman ends up thinking that she is crazy? Can it all be just one big coincidence?

And if she isn't interested in being famous why is she planning on doing a television show as soon as all the babies are home? And why is there the freak dating angle? Most television shows dealing with super multiples allow them just to live their lives. But Nadya will be dealing with 6 toddlers, 8 newborns, and trying to date. They must be crazy if they think any normal guy will want to date her. It is hard enough to find a great guy with one or two children. But any guy who will date a crazy, baby factory like Nadya must be a fellow media whore.

And anyone who wants to help this woman should learn a lesson from all those who have tried to help her in the past. She has thrown first her mother, then Gloria Allred and Angels In Waiting, and finally Dr. Phil under the bus once a better deal came along. Nadya Suleman is nothing more than a greedy, ungrateful, baby pimp.

15 Hospital Workers Fired For Looking At Suleman Medical File

Fifteen hospital workers have been fired for looking at medical records of octuplet mother Nadya Suleman without permission.

Kaiser Permanente spokesman Jim Anderson said Monday the violations of health care privacy laws were reported to the state Department of Public Health.

He says another eight employees were disciplined for accessing the files at Kaiser's hospital in Bellflower, where Suleman gave birth to the octuplets on Jan. 26.

Hospital officials say they do not think any information was shared with the media.

Suleman's attorney says she doesn't plan to sue the hospital for the breach of privacy.

Two of the eight infants remain in the neonatal intensive care unit.

I bet she will sue once Radar stops paying her story and she needs another way of using her children as a source of income.

Nadya Suleman Tries To Spin Stripper Past

Octomom Nadya Suleman played coy about reports she once worked as a stripper in a new interview.

"The only thing I'm going to say is we all have a past," Suleman said in an interview Thursday on ABC Radio Networks' syndicated show, Big Boy's Neighborhood, "and I don't want to resurrect the dead . . . It's dead...but no, not like as a career or job. Not like that."

Suleman's comments came in response to a National Enquirer report that the mother of the 14 had once worked as a stripper.

The magazine quoted a close friend of Suleman's revelation of her past.

"I was 18 and at a very investigative stage of my life . . . I had not even kissed a boy," Suleman had allegedly confided in her friend, according to the Enquirer. "But I entered a dance/lingerie contest in a club near my home. I danced and paraded in lingerie. Then, when I was 19, I went to a gentleman's club and performed as a topless dancer."

She reportedly realized that closer physical contact with patrons was expected, and balked.

"I only did it one night," Suleman reportedly said. "I quit when I found out I was expected to perform lap dances on the customers."

On Thursday's radio interview, Suleman talked about her state of mind when she decided to add eight babies to her brood that already included six children.

"I was thinking with my heart, not my head," Suleman said to host Big Boy.

When asked if her friends and family thought her choice was wise, Suleman responded, "Everybody, even the donor, he was like, are you crazy?"

She quickly clarified: "Crazy in the sense that I'm doing something out of the norm. Not crazy like mentally ill or anything. Just crazy like you're different from everyone else. Why would you do that?"

Later Thursday, Suleman brought two more of her octuplets home from the hospital. The arrival of Makai and Jeremiah brings to twelve the total number of children in Suleman's care at her four-bedroom home.

The scene was markedly calmer than that which met her last week when she brought her first two babies home. In contrast to the throngs of photographers and curious onlookers, Thursday's trip home from the hospital drew only three photographers, La Habra police Lt. Tom Dutton told the Associated Press.

"The first time we were not notified and were taken a little off-guard by the media frenzy," Dutton told the AP. "We finally had dialogue with a representative of the family, an attorney, and were able to prepare for this."

Dutton told the Associated Press police closed Suleman's street, "so we didn't have any paparazzi jumping on her vehicle."

That crazy cow is full of it. And she is starting to believe that she is really a celebrity, instead of a freak show.

Suleman Octuplet Update 27 March

In the continuing adventures of Octomom, the National Enquirer reports that Mother of the Year Nadya Suleman did some pole dancing before she had 14 kids.

Back when she was 18, Suleman was in an “investigative” stage of her life and thought she’d try out exotic dancing.

“I had not even kissed a boy. But I entered a dance/lingerie contest in a club near my home. I danced and paraded in lingerie,” she told a close pal.

“Then, when I was 19, I went to a gentleman’s club and performed as a topless dancer. But I only did it one night. I quit when I found out I was expected to perform lap dances on the customers.”

That’s totally believable.

In other Octomom news, since she’s not stripping down anymore, the cash-flush celebrity serial mother is certainly dressing better!

The woman who sent pediatric nurses packing earlier this week went on a $1,500 shopping spree at Bebe Sport the other day, TMZ.com reports. Nadya bought T-shirts, tank tops, a sexy-fit metallic cami, a woven cargo dress, crystal heart sweatsuits in two colors and sports bras to show off her postpartum figure.

Hey, if you are donating to Suleman this is where your money is going. First a thousand on make-up, now another fifteen hundred on clothes. And she's still getting Medi-Cal to pay her hospital bills (Her lawyer admitted that on Dr. Phil) . Have a look at Bebe and see how much the clothes are going for, you may just want to give your money to the Red Cross.

And before you say oh it's just a story in the National Enquirer, remember that the Enquirer is owned by the same company that owns Radar Online.

Suleman Octuplets Update 26 March

The nurses from Angels In Waiting learned what the rest of the world already knew...Nadya Suleman is more concerned about the press. And they also noticed that Suleman spends a lot of time away from home for someone with four newborns at home.

Infamous octuplet mom Nadya Suleman is more interested in feeding the cameras than feeding her babies, the lawyer for a group that had attempted to help care for Suleman’s 14 children has alleged.

“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?” Gloria Allred told TODAY’s Lester Holt Wednesday from Los Angeles.

“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.”

Allred represents Angels in Waiting, a not-for-profit group that initially had an agreement brokered by television psychologist Dr. Phil McGraw to provide around-the-clock nursing care and developmental specialists for Suleman’s octuplets as well as the six children under the age of 8 she already has at home.

The arrangement with the group didn’t last long. On Monday, with four of the 58-day-old octuplets home and four more still gaining strength in Kaiser Permanente Bellflower Medical Center, all parties confirmed that Suleman had told Angels in Waiting that their services were no longer needed.

Suleman attorney Jeff Czech said the relationship started badly between Suleman and Angels in Waiting, which has been training nannies paid by Suleman at the family's La Habra home.

“It started out adversarial and never really resolved itself,” Czech told The Associated Press. “Nadya felt that she was being judged wrongfully, and she didn't need it. All it did was make a difficult situation worse.”

Allred confirmed that the group, headed by Linda Conforti, had filed three complaints with child welfare officials about Suleman. The first alleged that the home Suleman was then living in with her mother was unsuitable for 14 children. Suleman is no longer living in that house, and is now in the La Habra home.

The attorney said the nurses were only doing their jobs. “Nurses are mandated reporters under the law. If a nurse sees that a baby or a child is endangered, neglected, abused or in any way potentially harmed — at risk of great harm — they are legally required to report that to authorities,” Allred told Holt.

Suleman has been posting daily blogs and providing video for the RadarOnline.com Web site. She also reportedly sold pictures of the birth of her octuplets, and says she is paying for her own nannies. She says the nannies are being trained by specialists from Kaiser Permanente, where the babies were born.

The single mother complained online that Conforti made her “nauseous” with continuous warnings that her babies would be abducted because of a lack of security at her home, which is located in what was formerly a quiet residential neighborhood but is now paparazzi central. When Suleman brought the first two infants home, hordes of reporters, photographers and cameramen besieged the SUV carrying her and the children, trying to pursue it into the home’s garage.

Inside, camera crews from RadarOnline were in the nursery filming. Angels in Waiting contends the camera crew and their equipment present a risk of infection to the infants.

“Our nurses were rightfully concerned about security,” Allred said. “After all, Nadya had told the world where she lives. She told the world when those babies were coming home, and as a result, hundreds of reporters came.”

The attorney said that on two occasions intruders entered the backyard of the home. Suleman asked a nanny to call 911 on the first occasion, Allred said, saying Suleman didn’t want to call herself because she feared she had already made too many calls to local police.

“Then a nanny came onto the property without showing any identification,” Allred continued. “The nanny herself indicated to our nurse that the baby could be abducted. She could have walked out with the baby in her purse. And [Conforti], the nurse, attempted to talk with Nadya about that.”

It all came to a head Sunday night, Allred said, when two infants were being brought home.

“It was a dangerous situation, a situation that was out of control inside the house as well as outside of the house,” she said.

Suleman called 911 that night to ask police to come and remove Allred from her house. Allred told Holt that Suleman then told police there wasn’t a problem and apologized to Allred, who remained until 1:30 a.m.

But by Monday, Suleman had ended her agreement with Allred and Angels in Waiting.

Allred, who is scheduled to tell more of her story on Dr. Phil’s show, repeated that Suleman is not responding to the security concerns.

“Look, we need security here for these babies. Yet, instead of providing security, she puts in her own Jacuzzi instead of hiring security guards,” she told Holt.

Is anybody actually surprised that Nadya is selfish? This is a woman who implanted six embryos even though she couldn't support the six children she already had.

Suleman Octuplets Update 25 March

Were the Angels in Waiting really waiting for Nadya Suleman to make a misstep?

If so, it didn't take them long to start filing complaints.

According to their attorney, Gloria Allred, Angels in Waiting USA have reportedly already made three complaints to Child Protective Services about the octuplets' mom.

And Nadya has fired the lot of them, accusing them of unprofessional and unethical behavior, of frightening her about child abduction, setting her up to fail and not empowering her.

On two episodes of Dr. Phil, airing today and Thursday this week, AIW USA reps and Allred (and Suleman by phone on one segment) will talk about why the deal between the nonprofit organization and Suleman went sour.

Allred tells Dr. Phil: “I think the real reason that Nadya has not been able to continue with Angels in Waiting may be the fact that not one but three reports had to be filed with Child Protective Service by Angels in Waiting [who] are mandated reporters under the law.”

The complaints will be discussed in detail on Dr. Phil's shows airing today and Thursday.

Suleman talked to Dr. Phil by phone on one of the taped segments. “The primary issue was that myself [sic] 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 them [AIW USA] 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.”

"I, I, I." Why is it always all about Nadya and helping her feel "empowered" and not about those babies?

Meanwhile, amid all the madness, Nadya found time to record her daily video with RadarOnline.com.

Keep reading for Nadya's accusations against AIW.

Check out the video interview with Nadya, who accuses the Angels of making her paranoid that her babies might be abducted. She describes an Angels official opening her purse and saying how easy it would be to stuff a baby in there.

Nadya talks about wanting to call the police for a restraining order because she was so fearful. She also describes feeling as if she was constantly being interrogated and how the Angels stopped talking whenever she entered the nursery.

Oh, they were also obsessive with the babies and they brought in "negative energy."

Just like she claims her mother does?

Right now, four of her octuplets are being cared for by nannies Suleman hired herself.

I think that Nadya's paranoia is getting beyond just simple everyday crazy and skipping quickly into clinical crazy. I wonder just how long it will take for the nannies to start quitting because they can't work with this woman.

Nadya will not put up with anyone coming between her and the profit that her babies will bring. First, her mother and now Angels In Waiting were disposed of because they wouldn't go along with the rosy picture she wanted to paint for Dr.Phil and RadarOnline. Yep, that's who she has sold her baby out to. A two-bit television "doctor" and a website owned by the company that owns the National Enquirer. You know something is wrong when TLC won't touch you with a ten foot poll.

More Detail On Suleman /Angels In Waiting Battle

Octuplets mother Nadya Suleman has fired a nonprofit group of nurses that helped care for her children, accusing the group of spying on her and reporting her to child welfare officials, her spokesman said Monday.

Suleman attorney Jeff Czech said the relationship started badly between Suleman and Angels in Waiting, which has been training nannies paid by Suleman at the family's La Habra home.

Last month an attorney for Angels in Waiting filed a complaint against Suleman with child welfare officials, seeking an investigation into whether the mother could provide a suitable environment for her 14 children.

Suleman later had several confrontations with the nurses, Czech said, and the situation grew unbearable Sunday when Suleman came to believe that Angels in Waiting founder Linda West-Conforti was allegedly filing a report against her with child welfare officials.

"It started out adversarial and never really resolved itself," Czech told The Associated Press. "Nadya felt that she was being judged wrongfully and she didn't need it. All it did was make a difficult situation worse."
Czech did not detail the complaint and lawyer Gloria Allred, who represents the nurses' group, refused comment Monday, saying more details will be released Tuesday.

A call to the Orange County Department of Children and Family Services was not immediately returned, but child welfare cases are typically kept private to protect the identities of the children involved.

Angels in Waiting had initially offered to provide around-the-clock care, to be paid for by public donations, but later scaled back its offer to only provide training to Suleman's nannies. Suleman has said the offer was changed because the group wasn't receiving donations, but Allred has denied that claim.

Czech said that Suleman will have her nannies trained by nurses from the Kaiser Permanente Bellflower Medical Center, where the octuplets were born on Jan. 26. Kaiser spokesman Jim Anderson said the hospital sends out home health nurses to provide training and guidance to new mothers, and at least two such visits have been made to the Suleman home. Anderson said he was not sure how much the program costs.

Four of the octuplets are home from the hospital, and Suleman has six other children.

Someone who has those babies best interest in mind needs to be there. Suleman sees them as pooping paycheck. And the poop isn't a problem because she doesn't has to change the diapers. She probably is upset because she thought she was going to get around the clock free care. That way she could fake parenting when the cameras were there, bask in the adoration, and go about her business when she was alone with babies.

Nadya Suleman Fires Nurses

The octuplets' mother fired the nurses who offered to give free care to her children on the "Dr. Phil" show, just five days after the first babies came home, the mother's attorney said today.

On Sunday, mother Nadya Suleman terminated the four nurses from Angels in Waiting, a nonprofit organization, mostly because one filed a report against her with Child Protective Services, or CPS, said Jeffery Czech, Suleman's attorney. The nurse was concerned about the number of people at the La Habra house, Czech said.

"I think it's more of an issue with trust between the mother and those taking care of her kids," Czech said. "If you can imagine being monitored by somebody (that) every little mistake you make may get you reported to CPS."

Attorney Gloria Allred, who represents Angels in Waiting, declined to comment in an e-mail message.

At least one nurse, sometimes two, from Kaiser Permanente Bellflower Medical Center who previously cared for the babies and two nannies are helping to watch the 10 children now at the home, Czech said.

Two of the babies were released from the hospital Tuesday and another two arrived home Saturday. The other four babies remain at the hospital.

Czech said he was unsure who is paying for the nurses, but that Suleman is paying the nannies.

"I don't think it was a great fit from the get-go. There may have been great intentions," Czech said. "The bottom line is, it's not going to work and Nadya does have good alternatives."

Suleman is scheduled to tape another episode of the "Dr. Phil" show on Tuesday to tell her side of the story, Czech said. He was unsure when the show will air.

"She's afraid that rumors may be swirling around, and nurses (at Angels in Waiting) will not be truthful. She wants to make sure everything is said on television while the nurses are saying what they have to say about it," Czech said.

Angels in Waiting, through Allred, came to an agreement on the "Dr. Phil" show that the group would provide free, 24-hour care for Suleman's 14 children. But the arrangement has a contentious and bumpy past.

Allred filed a previous CPS report against Suleman when she failed to respond to Angels in Waiting's offer of free services, threatening that Suleman's children could end up in foster care if she didn't have proper help.

TV host Dr. Phil McGraw intervened, holding a private meeting at his house where the two parties agreed to care for all 14 children. But after the "Dr. Phil" show aired, it was revealed that Angels in Waiting had little money and needed about $135,000 annually for the children's care. Dr. Phil has been helping to raise funds for the services.

Despite the terminations, Czech said Suleman is staying focused on her children's care.

"It really is going well, amazingly well for the number of kids that are there," Czech said.

The nurses were probably in the way of her deal with Radar. They probably objected to the constant whoring out of her babies. Or maybe she has worked out a deal for a television show.

I hope we aren't paying for the Kaiser nurses as citizens of California. Because if she has a thousand dollars to spend on make up, she has the money to pay for her nurses.

Good for the nurse who turned her in to CPS, somebody needs to protect those children.

Clues To Identity Of Nadya Suleman's Sperm Donor

As two more babies arrive at home, Nadya Suleman, who gave birth to octuplets in January, is offering up a few details about her children's father – but says she will never reveal his identity.

In a new video interview with radaronline.com, Suleman, 32, coyly admits that the man – whom she says fathered all 14 of her children (including the six she had before the octuplets) – lives in California, is slightly older than she is, and is "from another country."

When asked if the man is of European descent, Suleman says no, but refuses to comment when asked again if he is Hispanic. She also confirms that he is not a civilian.

As to whether her relationship with the children's father was ever romantic, Suleman insists the man has always been nothing more than "a very platonic friend" and says, "We wouldn't be very compatible."

Later, when asked if he would be a good father, she says, "He's a great father. Oops – I mean, he would make a great father."

But Suleman says that when she spoke to him two weeks before giving birth and told him that she was carrying what she then thought were seven babies, he wasn't pleased.

"He was speechless; he couldn't talk. He couldn’t even utter a word," she says. "He was angry at the doctor, I think, like everyone else. [He said] 'Doesn't that doctor know you have five children already?' I said, 'Yes, he's aware I have six of your children.' [He said], 'I forgot about the twins.' It was funny."

If she could talk to him now, Suleman would say, "I'm sorry for all of this mess, and I hope he isn't scared that it will come out because it won't. As far as I'm concerned, I will never disclose who he is."

I hope she has a contract. Because he doesn't seem happy with the situation, and if there is no contract he can ask for parental rights. And she has publicly said things like, "Yes, he's aware I have six of your children." Something doesn't seem right about their arrangement. I think he is more involved than she admits. Give it a few more weeks and he will be coming forward. She is going to need something else offer Radar to keep their interest.
