Octuplet Mother Fires Free Nurses: "It Was Really Bad"

Octo Mom Nadya Suleman has confirmed to Usmagazine she has fired the free nursing staff provided to her by the non-profit charity organization Angels In Waiting.



"Yes, it's true. I released AIW," Suleman said in a statement to Us. "It was really bad. That's all I can say. I can't confirm, why, in particular. I will be releasing the details soon."


Her spokesman accused the non-profit charity group -- which announced their plans to assist Suleman in raising her 14 children during a March 14 taping of Dr. Phil -- of spying on her and reporting her to child welfare officials.

Suleman had several confrontations with the nurses, her attorney Jeff Czech said. Relations worsened Sunday when Suleman came to believe that Angels in Waiting founder Linda West-Conforti was allegedly filing a report against her with child welfare officials.

Said Czech, Nadya felt that she was being judged wrongfully, and she didn't need it."



Suleman -- who has custody of four infants so far -- says she'll rely on her own nannies -- whom she had planned to hire regardless of Angels in Waiting's assistance -- to care for the babies instead.

Attorney Gloria Allred who represents Angels in Waiting, told via e-mail Monday: "We have no comment at this time. We will respond tomorrow afternoon with the true facts."

According to RadarOnline, which first broke the story RadarOnline, members of Angels in Waiting are scheduled to tape an episode of Dr. Phil Tuesday. Suleman also hopes to appear on the show to defend herself.


Suleman turned down an earlier offer from Angels in Waiting because they wouldn't let her film a reality show, Allred said.
