There was no question on the if it would happen, just a question of what and when. Apparently, Octomom’s quest for TV stardom are about to come to fruition. Rumors have been swirling around for quite a while that Nadya Suleman aka Octomom had been shopping around ideas for a reality TV show. Now a deal has supposedly been done.
According to Life and Style Magazine, Suleman stated: “Yes, it is official. I'm going to be doing a show, but it's not a reality show. What I'm doing with this TV show is basically creating documentaries about the lives of my children." And continued to say “It's going to be an ongoing thing, and it will follow them from now until they are 18. It's being done by Eyeworks; they're in the UK. It will air in the UK and then we'll see if the US is interested."
Although Suleman had previously stated that she wanted the media and public attention to go away, this won’t be any help in achieving that goal. She added that "The producers will come here to film six times a year. They'll come by and take some footage and then they'll go. They won't be invading my life or my children's lives. It will give me the opportunity to have incredible home movies that, believe me, I don't have the time to make myself. Having this documentary crew allows me to focus on raising my children and still have great movies of them."
The reason to do this is to have “incredible home movies?” Very doubtful, an incredible bank account balance is more like it.
Would you let a camera crew into your home and publically broadcast your life for all to see? And if so, would you do it for fame, fortune or for the family memories.
UPDATE: It turns out Octomom may have been counting her TV episodes before they were hatched. According to The Live Feed, the company Eyeworks, that Suleman cited, claims to have yet to seal a deal with her but has confirmed they are trying to work with her. A rep for the company said “At this time we are in active negotiations with Nadya and her attorney for an unscripted format following the life of Nadya and her children. Nadya's story is a very unique and exciting one that needs to be told in the right manner … We are confident that we are the right party to tell their story around the world."
Since no one in the states wants to touch such a series with a ten foot pole, they’re probably in a pretty good position for negotiation.
