Op-Ed: Will Octo-Mom Nadya Suleman Star in TV Reality Show?

Are reality shows going to the dogs or just to women who have 14 children and may be still counting? I’m with the dogs, but read on anyway, and don’t whatever you do, ask for her autograph.

Octo-Mom and sometimes, when they let her out for her weekly walk around the asylum, by her real name, Nadya Suleman, may soon make a fool of all of us by starring in her very own reality show. Although the name of the online company or network she has allegedly made the deal with has not been disclosed, some news reports claim that she has already negotiated a deal to produce a reality series about babies and dating that is slated to air this coming fall. In an exclusive interview with Touch Weekly, Suleman discussed how she arranged a show that will begin as soon as the eighth octuplet comes home from the hospital. The purpose of the show is to chronicle the lives of the mother and her children (who should consider moving into a shoe like another woman did once upon a time a long time ago). It is said that the show might also feature the 33-year-old single mother’s attempts to find a man who could tolerate all this and her too. Recently on Dr. Phil, Suleman demanded that his show not use the term, Octo-Mom. She also informed Dr. McGraw that she would only consider reality TV once the children had grown up a bit. No one’s fool, Dr. Phil called her on her words by asking her, “This is all about you, isn’t?” In a rather bizarre aside, one source commented how much Ms. Suleman emulates lovely actress, Angelina Jolie, and in fact has done everything surgically possible to resemble her. The actress herself claimed to have been “totally creeped out” by Nadya Suleman. Why this mother of six with no visible means of support opted for a seventh child albeit she ended up with 14 is still a mystery to me. I’ll pass on her autograph. How about YOU? What do YOU think about this?
