Culture: Did octet mom Nadya Suleman rip off Angelina Jolie?

  • It’s one thing to clip out a celebrity’s photo from a magazine and ask your stylist to copy that cut. Who hasn’t done that? But to have a nose job, have collagen injections in your lips and start talking like Angelina – that’s over the top.
  • A friend of Angelina Jolie • who was quoted in the Chicago Sun-Times as saying that Jolie is “totally creeped out” by Suleman, who appears to have possibly gone to extreme lengths to copy Jolie’s look. Suleman also tried contacting Jolie, apparently. • source

    First of all, Angelina Jolie has class and that Suleman lady doesn’t even begin to know the meaning of class. Here is a woman who already selfishly had herself artificially inseminated six times knowing that she could not possibly afford to take care of these poor children. Yet, she goes and does it again. I’m sure she was only trying for one more baby, but I’m also sure she was warned that there is a chance of multiple births when you use this process to get pregnant. Isn’t there some kind of protocol when it comes to artificial insemination? Are the parents not screened first to make sure they can take care of a child financially,
    psychologically, physically, etc. I mean this is a truly planned pregnancy. Does the medical field not care who they are impregnating and do they also not care if these poor babies will be given a good home or be thrust into a nightmare of a home-life. Does the government allow a woman or man to have children when they cannot afford them and will have to go on welfare for the support of the child? I thought we were trying to get the welfare rolls down. It has been reported that this lady that just gave birth to the eight babies lives in a tiny home that is barely big enough for her and her other six children. Where is she going to put eight more babies? Her mother allowed cameras into the girls house and it was not only squalid and filthy, it was depressing to see what these poor babies will have to live.
    Even worse, how is she going to support 14 children? Who will help her to properly take care of them all? Obviously, this woman is on some kind of power trip and she has lost the ability to use common sense. Her ego is so big, especially since the birth of the babies, and her head is so swelled, she doesn’t see the downright seriousness of this situation. All she sees is the attention that she is getting right now and she’s loving every minute of it. She is not even thinking one bit of these children and their needs. It’s all about her needs. It is a sad, sad situation and I hope and pray that things somehow work out for these beautiful little children. Probably the best thing for them, would be to be taken away from their mother until she comes back down to earth and deals with the severity of the burden she has put on herself, her family, friends and in the end, society. I also hope this is a wake up call to the doctors and lawyers and clinics, etc., who enable a situation like this to take place. Artificial insemination is a good thing for women who cannot conceive on their own, and I think this is how it started out, but this debacle just goes to show us how a good thing can go bad when it is allowed to happen for all the wrong reasons.
