Weekly Octo-Mom Update: Nadya Refuses Help, Threatens Suicide, Publicist Quits

I really should swear off posting any more info about this woman, but I just can’t help it. The more I learn about her, the more sorry I feel for her and her kids. She is clearly in need of psychological help. Here’s the latest over the last week or so on Whackadoodle’s saga:

“This woman is nuts.” That what’s Nadya’s ex-publicist told US Magazine after he recently quit representing Octo-Mom. (Nothing we didn’t know already.) He said she “got really greedy” and “it just got to be too much.” This is the second publicist to quit her since she gave birth to a litter of eight children. But, something tells me there’s probably a line of desperate publicists clamoring to take his place…

Non-profit Angels in Waiting offered Nadya full-time help to take care of the children but Nadya turned them down because they wouldn’t agree to be on a reality show should she land one. Well, Nad, (A) which network in their right mind would give you a reality show?; and (B) since your babies may not even be released to you because it’s questionable whether you are equipped to care for all 14 children, especially 8 preemies, shouldn’t you take all of the help you can get? After all, what’s more important, bringing your babies home or having a reality show to reveal to DCFS how even more crazy you are than we thought?

Tapes were released last week of a frantic Nadya calling police to report that her 5-yr-old son was missing. As parents, we can understand the fear and panic that sets in when you cannot locate your child, so I can relate to her on that level 100%. Just not so sure that I’d be repeating “Oh God, I’m going to kill myself” into the phone over and over, especially while her other kids could hear what she was saying. Now, I ain’t no doctor, but this sounds beyond frantic and not the response of an emotionally and psychologically sound individual. You can hear the call by going to radaronline.com.
