Nadya Suleman - the woman who gave birth to octupulets, after she already had six children she couldn't take care of - may be invading your TV more frequently (And, no, before you think it, she's not becoming Dr. Phil's sidekick). Production companies are tossing around ideas from documentaries to reality-shows that would follow the happenings of the 14-member family. Read more in the Us Magazine article below.
Octo Mom...coming to a TV near you.Nadya Suleman's lawyer Jeff Czech says she's met with four production companies so far this week about creating a reality show to follow her brood of 14.
"Nadya has been interested in, and hoping to find, something not so intrusive to the family and babies while, at the same time, [something to] sort of focus on trying to make a little income for herself," Czech said.
"She got railed again for the kids being on [assistance]. It is heavy on her mind and she is simply looking," Czech continued.
Suleman -- who fired the free nurses from Angels in Waiting last month -- has no health insurance and uses the services of state-funded Medi-Cal for her children's care. She also admitted on Wednesday that she may sign up for the Women Infant Children program to foot her $2,000 monthly formula bill.
(Octo Mom isn't the only family member looking to cash out. The newest issue of US Weekly, on stands now, reports that her parents are also seeking ways to make money off the babies.)
Production companies have pitched "ideas ranging from long-term documentaries to reality-type shows," Czech says. Read more here.
