I don’t think Octomom Nadya Suleman has gotten one single bit of good press. I’m not saying she’s necessarily deserving of any, but you’d think she’d be able to get someone to say something good about her at least once. Unfortunately for Nadya, she’s making some really bad decisions – one right after the other. Actually, I don’t think she’s made a single good decision – which explains the lack of any good press.

It’s long been theorized that Nadya wants a reality show. Some people speculate that’s how she plans on supporting her hefty brood of 14, while others have even theorized that’s WHY she got implanted with so many embryos in the first place.

Now to further add to the negative publicity, Nadya has very stupidly turned down an offer for free 24-hour nursing care. The nonprofit group that made the offer says Nadya lost interest in taking them up on their incredibly good deed once a reality show was no longer on the table.

The mother of the California octuplets has let an offer for free, 24-hour nursing care by a nonprofit group lapse.

The founder of the group Angels in Waiting said Nadya Suleman seemed to lose interest in the offer after her request to do a reality show was ruled out.

The lawyer for the nursing group, Gloria Allred, said she has filed a request for an investigation with Los Angeles County Child and Family Services into how Suleman would care for 14 children. Suleman is unmarried, unemployed, lives with her parents and receives food stamps and other government assistance.

Suleman’s new volunteer spokesman, Victor Munoz, was interviewed by TV’s Dr. Phil McGraw on CNN’s “Larry King Live” show Friday night and sounded open to considering the offer.

Munoz said he didn’t know what was offered because he has been too busy dealing with preparations for the release of the infants from the hospital, which could begin in less than two weeks.

I’m guessing Angels in Waiting wouldn’t let their nurses appear on a reality show, and that’s when Nadya decided to decline their offer. The story’s phrasing was a little ambiguous on that detail, but they obviously don’t have the authority to rule out a reality show for Nadya, though they can refuse to participate in one.

I’ve tried to show a bit of empathy for this woman, although she makes it very, very hard. It’s like she’s trying to give the public as many reasons as possible to hate her. And she is so utterly and completely clueless. Not just in terms of reality – her Pollyanna complex is astounding – but in terms of her public image. As long as Nadya keeps behaving this way, she is ensuring that any remaining goodwill will be quickly drained. And considering she’s going to have to rely on others to pull her through this – whether it’s the kindness of strangers or the government – I think she’s further ensuring that the state will take her kids from her sooner rather than later.
