When even Gloria Allred, the high-profile feminist attorney who helped orchestrate Octomom’s free child care from Angels in Waiting, says that Nadya Suleman is one crazy biatch, you know you’re dealing with someone special. Gloria Allred, people. The woman Time magazine called “one of the nation’s most effective advocates of family rights and feminist causes.” Even she is pretty sure Octomom should have her kids taken away.
Allred went on the Today show and held a press conference yesterday to say that Octomom cares more about being a celebrity than being a mom. She then ticked off the six ways to Sunday that Octomom is an unfit parent:
Lawyer Gloria Allred slammed Octo Mom Nadya Suleman for treating her preemie babies “as props” during a Wednesday afternoon press conference.
Allred represents Angels in Waiting, which had provided free nursing care for Suleman’s 14 children until she fired them earlier this week for allegedly spying on her and reporting her to child welfare officials.
Allred said Suleman “violated agreements in the best interests of the children” by announcing when the babies would be released — causing a media frenzy — and then by allowing video crew to feed and hold the babies.
Suleman “always had an excuse” why she couldn’t feed her babies, Allred continued, saying that she only spent eight hours in the nursery, and one went “days without being bathed.” (Earlier on the Today Show, Allred claimed Suleman only cares about her babies “when the cameras are rolling.”)
There’s been a lot of speculation that Octomom fired Angels in Waiting because they wouldn’t allow her to sign on for a reality show, fearing that having camera crews in the house would pose health risks to the fragile infants.
“But Octomom seems like such a reasonable person!” you might be saying. (Might be.) Allred also alleged during the media event that Octomom elected to upgrade amenities in her new house — like putting in a jacuzzi and a new dishwasher — rather than increase security, even in light of two recent reports of intruders on her property.
Mother of the year, folks.

How can any of you rank on this poor woman? All she wants to do is have babies and make the world sing with love and harmony. And gosh, aren’t the babies cute?
Ok, sorry for that.
Yes, Gloria Allred is a publicity whore. In other words, Nadya is dilettante, wrangling with the master. Since Octomom is a huge dumb ass, I am going with Gloria for the win. In 6 months, we will probably see some rumblings about lots of CPS visits and possible removals. (One can only hope)
Oh, those are Tory Burch shoes, which retail about $195. That purse looks quite lovely as well. Can anyone tell what brand? I’m glad to see that she is using the donations for the babies care instead of frivolous things for herself. I nominate her for saint hood.
Not to support octo-mom but this is what she was claiming that Angles in Waiting and Allred were doing and that is why she fired them. Then Allred goes and fulfills the claims.
It certainly looks like O.M. was correct.
And quite frankly, didn’t we all know O.M. was a little of her rocker when she decided to have that many kids?
Lord in heaven. This is the first time I’ve ever pulled for Gloria Allred, or CPS.
You are correct about the shoes. I believe someone reported that the blouse was $200 to $300 but that she bought them for the Dr. Phil show. Yes, let’s buy new things when the babies need so much. This lady is getting crazier by the day and that is a huge feat!
I’m with you on that, Beige. I never thought I would see the day when I cheered for Gloria.
Of course, she’s saying what we’ve all been saying all this time, so it shouldn’t come as a big shock. Those kids were props before they were born.
Angry Army Wife:
I don’t know if you have kids. I only have one. It took me a while to leave the home without her to do anything other than buy groceries, with the hubby at home watching her. Eventually, I felt more comfortable leaving the house, going shopping with her. Now, I realize she has more than one child and the more you have the more comfortable you feel to be able to leave the home, so I guess that’s cool. But really, she is out shopping almost all the time. Or she is on Doctor Phil justifying her latest dumb, narcissistic maneuverings.
She’d better get used to CPS as a presence in her life on one level or another. If she’s going to depend on “donations” and public assistance, she’s pretty much their bitch. She may THINK it’s the other way around, but it hasn’t been proven to my satisfaction that she thinks at all.
“Hey everybody look at me! I have eight babies!”
“Booohooohooo! Everybody is looking at me because I have eight babies.”
“Pay attention to me dammit! I have eight babies.”
“Not that close attention! Just enough to give me money for stuff – I mean my eight babies.”
Gloria Allred may be a publicity hound but in this instance, she’s right. OctoMom isn’t fit to raise a puppy much less a litter of human beings.
I’ve also noticed the Tory Burch shoes. Look at that pose, she really does think she’s a celebrity.
Beige – I am with you and I feel kind of dirty about it.
Who drives her around everywhere?
She is always getting out of an SUV with an ontourage it seems.
Babies as props? I can’t think of much else they’d be good for. Doorstops? Movie/diner out ruiners (For others not you) Living breathing free advertisements for serious birth control?
she should be steralized
Eradicated is a better idea!
Pasta- babies are good for curing narcolepsy.
I caught a bit of Octomom on Dr. Phil (forgive me), and was wondering if anyone else every noticed this fact- OM rarely if ever calls her children by their names. It is always ‘the babies’. As in ‘we brought the first two babies home from the hospital amid crazy camera folks’. She never says something like ‘we brought Isaac and Josiah* home’. Maybe it’s just me, but I always use my children’s names.
*guessing on names
Good catch Housewife. “The babies” is way too detached for anyone so professedly devoted to perennial motherhood.
And by the way, it was Jehosaphat and Mefistopheles which came home most recently. Nebuchadnezzar and Gywneth are due to be released next.
What’s going to happen when all the publicity stops – and it will, her fifteen minutes of fame is almost up. A month from now when all the babies are home, no one is going to care about her and her brood anymore. What will happen to the babies then? Doubtful that she will get a book deal. She might get a reality show (OMG the thought of it), but that is very iffy. I think of the diapers, and milk and clothing that she will need to buy and that is just the beginning. Right now she has 4 bedrooms and 3 baths – she has 14 kids, plus herself – 15 people that might have to go to the bathroom at the same time. 3 bedrooms to be split between 14 kids, and there are boys and girls so they will have to be split up.
Has she even stopped for a moment to think about how all of this is going to pan out? Three of the older children have disabilities and according to Kaiser they think some of the babies may have disabilities as well(I hope not.) Because she chose to have these babies, knowing that she already had 6 kids, some with special needs, she should have to support them herself. She should have to go out and get a job (a real job, not reality TV) to support these kids. I am only an advocate for welfare in special circumstances, and this does not qualify, because she put herself in this spot.
That’s the outfit she wore on Dr. Phil. You guys are right about the shoes, those are Tory Birch flats, they are $195, like Quenn Bee said. The top looks like it could also be Tory Birch, she uses similar patterns in her designs. Tory Birch or not, it retails for about $230, according to TMZ. The bag looks cheap though, it looks like it could be from the Gap or something.
Sorry, I misspelled Queen Bee
I just have to misspell something!
She says that she did not buy the jacuzzi tub, but it came from friends. Did these “friends” also buy the Tony Burch shoes and that fancy top? What kind of friends buy a woman that now has eight newborns a jacuzzi tub, where are the diapers and the baby clothing?
I am disgusted.
She should get together with the Spears and Lohan family and write books on raising children. Oh wait . . . never mind
Nati – no worries.
I want friends who will buy me a jacuzzi tub. Hell, I would appreciate a regular tub as mine is pretty worn out. But, since I am not special, my friends bought me stuff for my baby. Or they brought my husband and I food because we were consumed with dealing with a newborn, sleeping when we could, showering when we could steal a moment, jamming food in our face while the kid slept.
It will be interesting to see if Dr. Phil turns on her since she has spent her time badmouthing Angels in waiting, something he helped set up for her. On the one hand, she is a meal ticket for him that gains him lots of attention but then she’s badmouthing the group he hooked her up with. Interestingly enough, if you see her on Radar (yea, I don’t know why I do that either) she is sure to say Gloria Allred is super swell but goll darn those Angels in Waiting women were just toxic. And, oh, don’t you know, they weren’t funded by charity, but were going to bill Medical and she just can’t abide by that. No sireeee folks. Which, I assume, means she will be paying for all the medical care she has received for herself and the children.
She’s mother of the year along with dina lohan!
I suspect a tummy tuck.
I have some very cool, generous, and well off friends, but last Christmas, instead of a hot tub, I got a nice bottle of scotch from them. What the hell friends are these people that just give away a jacuzzi?
I agree with the person (sorry, it’s nearly bedtime and I’m not scrolling up) that mentioned the way she looks in that picture. Not even the expensive shoes or whatever, but the fact that she is totally acting as though she is a hot snot on a silver platter when she is, in fact, a cold booger on a paper plate.
Also, the person that caught on to her never referring to the children by name – I hadn’t noticed that before, but now that it’s been pointed out to me, it’s really disturbing. It says a lot for her motivations from start to finish, and as the daughter of an identical twin, I know that for a lot of multiple birth kids, individuality becomes hugely important when self awareness kicks in. If she doesn’t start getting their names straight, these kids are going to have more than the obvious issues we are already forseeing.
I truly hope that CPS steps in and does find that she has made/is making the inevitable mistakes that she herself is so afraid will get her in trouble. Those kids deserve so much better than this bitch.
Minnow and Chronic M~ I KNEW it wasn’t just me that was noticing the generic ‘the babies’ instead of individual names. Mefistopheles….heh!
I agree, Beige… and with D—– that it’s enough to make me ill, haha.
I wish I could be as poor as she appears to be. It doesn’t seem so hard.
Okay, maybe I am just a little bored with the whole O.M., but she seriously didn’t use the above mentioned names did she? Really??? Those are worse than Apple and Pilot Inspektor.
“I just have to misspell something”
Or someone. Queen Bee, I’m glad you are not mad
But seriously, I don’t know what’s up with me and all the misspelling. I know it’s hard to believe, but I rarely misspell or make mistakes when I write…or when I post on other websites. I guess I just get so excited about posting here, I get performance anxiety *ahem* So deceiver, just like they say, “I swear it never happened before” and “Please, take it as a compliment”.
P.S. The octotop actually looks more like it could be a Diane Von Furstenberg top.
There should be a pool somewhere to bet on how long it will be before some or all of the children will be removed from her care… extra points for correctly guessing how many.
In retrospect, I’m kind of surprised she’s made it this long (seven years, I think? Isn’t that the age of her oldest kid?) without attracting the attention of CPS. A single mom with no job and six kids, several of whom have disabilities? Can she really be meeting the state’s standard of adequate care?
That’s because her mother was actually taking care of them, invyzible. I admire her mother for helping her, but I wish she could have given her some tough love, too and made her go out and get a job.
I’m honestly surprised one of her kids haven’t died yet.
Ok, I did some research.
Octomom was in a Kaiser Permanente Hospital.
It is Kaiser Permanente’s policy to bathe infants 1-2x per week, and only in sponge-baths. Premies being held in incubators are more likely to get 1x per week, as they are exposed less.
Gloria Allred herself, is a crazy bitch, and if Octomom doesn’t get along with her, well I tend to like Octomom a little more myself.
I still hate her, I don’t care WHICH hospital she was in. For once in her life, Allred is serving a purpose.
And Froggy…What will happen when her 15 minutes are up? Well, does the name Andrea Yates mean anything to you? That is pretty much what I expect, if CPS doesn’t step up to the plate.
That was chilling, Beige, but it’s a distinct possibility other than these kids growing up to enjoy their own fifteen minutes of fame for who they are, and ending up using the money made to buy more crack at worst, and pscyhotherapy at best.
Please note, y’all, that I said I “expect” it, NOT that I hope for it. The whole reason I loathe, abhor, detest, hate and despise Suleman is because those kids aren’t just pairs of shoes or designer blouses, no matter WHAT she thinks. They’re people, and they deserve better than to be stuck with the self-worshiping, psychotic likes of her.
No misunderstanding on my part, Beige. I forsee bad things as well, though neither do I hope for them to happen.
I guess it takes a Media Whore to know one. Allred at one point might have had good motives in her career but I think she lost her way a loooong time ago. Fame and money and power often leaves a person wanting more fame and money and power. Gloria has an agenda to get press and remove the kids. I’m certainly no Octomom fan but I don’t see how reporting her to CPS for an unsafe environment when the police were needed to remove Gloria herself from the property helps the children any.
Yes, luscious, you got Gloria’s number. Thing is Gloria didn’t even know what she was getting into when she messed with this woman. This woman has fooled government officials, doctors, Publicity agents, Dr. Phil and many media hounds, as well as probably her own parents. I doubt she has many true friends, the Octomom I mean. I’d be surprised if she can name even one “true” friend. Someone like her would be too preocupied with herself to spend the time to develop relationships like that. No wonder she is divorced.
Jusr so you know, I am sure that CPS and Kaiser are watching her. I want the best for those babies and for the other six kids, but I don’t foresee that living a lifetime with this woman will be in the best interest of any of the children.
A truth telling feminist- who ever woulda thunk it?
A bigoted man who hates feminists for no good reason – who woulda thunk it?!
I’d feel a whole lot better if Kaiser and CPS are keeping an eye on the kids, all 14 of them.
I hate feminists, and I don’t have a good reason.
Take that Andrea Dworkin!
I don’t know that I would consider myself a “feminist”, more a realist. I believe that everyone should have rights, and I am definitely not a racist or a bigot. I have enjoyed talking to you all, and will continue to visit this website. I have decided to put this particular subject of Nayda Suleman to rest. I hope that the media leaves her alone and that she does not get any more publicity, no book deals and no reality tv. She made her “bed”, so to speak, and now she can lie in it. I believe that once the public ignores her and the Pap goes away, she will show her true colors. She never intended to just be a doting mom, loving and caring for 14 children, including eight newborns. She wanted money and fame. God help those kids, when the money stops coming in and the cameras stop rolling. It will be interesting.
“does the name Andrea Yates mean anything to you?”
Now you know what that jacuzzi tub is for – all 14 wouldn’t fit in a regular size bathtub. Octomom has very thoughtful considerate friends.
P.S. Sorry, I was bored. Sometimes I get bored and post in old threads.
Eh, I do that too, Nati. And supposedly a child’s carseat was hurled through Octo’s van window. Probably by her, b/c she’s gone several days without a headline.
Did anybody watch TMZ…When the little curly haired kid call one of the paparazzi”BITCH”
and octopussy and her friend just laugh like is a joke,when 3 yrs old say BITCH…hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
If octomoma want to look hot for Dr. Phil,she should just go to Good Will…There she buy eazy stylist stuff for couple$$$$$
The blouse she’s wearing costs $228, I just found it on anthropologie website by accident…while shopping online. It just went on sale, so I’m assuming she paid the full price for it at the time she bought it. I tried to copy and paste the link, but it’s coming out all weird.
