Rosie's Take on Octodrama!

0225odonnell.jpg

"Extra" caught up with Rosie O'Donnell at the red carpet premiere of her new movie "America." Rosie is a mother of four, so "Extra's" Jerry Penacoli had to ask how the opinionated star felt about Octomom Nadya Suleman.

"I think she's a troubled person with a mental health issue... I hope the state does what is in the best interest of those kids," offered Ro.

O'Donnell understands the fascination with having a large family, but doesn't want to take it that far. The 46-year-old tells "Extra" she would "love" to adopt again, but her partner Kelli Carpenter told her she would become a "single mom of five"!

When asked about Sean Penn's Oscar acceptance speech, O'Donnell exclaimed, "Brilliant! I don't think there's a more admirable man in the profession, not only for his skill as an actor but for his courage as an activist."

"America" premieres on Lifetime this Saturday.

Octo Mom’s New Publicist Quits: “THIS WOMAN IS NUTS,” Saturday March 7, 2009


Octo Mom Nadya Suleman is without a publicist — again.

Victor Munoz tells Usmagazine.com that he quit as Suleman’s rep Friday night.

“It just got to be too much,” he says. “It’s pretty much a free for all over there right now. They are freaking out right now.

“Not to sound arrogant, but those people depended on me for everything,” he continues. “You have no idea what I’ve had to do for these people.

“NAYDA GOT REAL GREEDY. THIS WOMAN IS NUTS,’ he adds “This I can say: what ultimately destroyed the business arrangement was personal reasons.”

Munoz — who plans to meet with his lawyers Monday to go over the terms of his contract and confidentiality clause — did not go into further detail.


Suleman’s first publicist, Joann Killeen, stepped down after her firm received over 100 graphic e-mail and voicemail threats.

“They’d put me in the wood chipper and throw me in the bottom of the ocean and hope I die,” Killeen has said. “We’ve gotten her through the worst part of it and now they are putting their venom and anger toward us.”

Rosie is nothing more than a BUTCH BULLY. She has a machine gun mouth and is seeking attention for her next show whatever the hell she is going to do. I hope this time it will be something meaningful. She is also seeking ratings and viewers for her next project.

All you people who talk about how they had 14 kids in “the old days” are idiots. Times and circumstances were different, but the biggest thing is they weren’t having them 8 at a time! Can YOU take care of 8 babies at once, 24/7? Of course not! The lack of sleep alone would soon render you totally incompetent, and the children would suffer, all 14 of them.

She has made it impossible and irresponsible for us to mind our own business at this point. I raised my son who had learning disability/ADD on my own after divorce with his dad from the time he was 5 years old. It took a lot to be the kind of mother I wanted to be for him and sacrificed for him. I did not have a mother to help with child care and worked the hours between driving him to school and picking him up. I also did not have anyone helping me or giving me anything. I actually helped others and always gave the clothes he outgrew to those in need. I feel you have acted so irresponsibly and still are. I feel sorry that your children will not have what they should from a mother as you cannot provide what they will need on so many levels. I think if you cannot take care of some of the children, you should give them to loving families that can. Think of young girls who are not capable of taking care of a child emotionally and financially and don’t want to abort so they give them to loving families through adoption. You need to step outside of yourself and put yourself in someone else’s shoes. If this was your younger sister, what would you tell her. Hopefully you would give herself guidance and now yourself and do the right thing. You cannot financially, emotionally and physically take care of these new children. I disagree with Dr. Phil and you for soliciting to aid you in this unconscionable path and put a huge bandaid where it is not SOLVING the longterm issues at stake for your children. It’s not fair to them if you keep them and have them grow up with dozen of strangers caring for them. It’s not fair to your parents, family, friends, neighbors. In a perfect world things don’t go ideally. Look at the complaints you have with 2 caring parents that did their best with 1 child. How can you expect to even come close with 1 child, let alone 14, when you don’t even have a husband, money, an adequate home, a steady income, the ability to care for 14. You should be able to take care of the children you have as if there was no one else. Be able to take them all with you in a vehicle..to school, grocery, shopping, hospital or Dr. You couldn’t even do that with the 6 you had. I’m sorry I can’t have any sympathy for you, but I also wanted to be a better parent than my parents were and I feel that I did that. My son is thriving in college and I never took a penny from anyone. No loans, etc. I lived within my means and you need to as well. I fear that your degree will be for not, as who would go for psychological help from you? Social services should intervene and find proper homes as you didn’t even have home ready to bring home the 7 expected infants. Please do the right thing for these children.

So I hadn’t realized that in addition to her career as an entertainer, part time job offending everyone with whom she comes in contact, and her full time job as a mother that Ms. O’Donnell had completed her PhD in Psychology. I’ve been working really hard at mine and am finding it to be a full time job plus. Oh! She didn’t get her doctorate and is just talking out her ears (was thinking something else.) Maybe she should leave the diagnosis of mental illness to someone qualified. Maybe parenting her own children should be her priority.

What amazes me that all those hollywood stars that claim to be humanitairans then they go to other countries and dump their money there helping the people. Why don’t they start here at home, they have millions of dolllars, I am surprised that these so called humanitarins will not help Nayda out. She made some poor choices and I truly believe she really loves all her children. These hollywood stars that have bucks coming out of their ying yang could help Nayda out. They help others in other countries, they should start in the U.S. first. I am not condoning what Nayda did, however she now has 14 children and they are here in this world. Do you know that a long time ago Oprah said she gave her best friend Gayle King a million dollars so Gayle could be a millionaire too. Well oprah is a billionaire and she donated alot of money for MR. Presidents campaign so he could win. Not saying nothing against Mr. Obama, I happen to like him and his family. Ophra could help out if she wanted to, it’s a tax write off for her anyway. Don’t understand it, how other countries come first to the hollywood stars.

Thank you Rosie

Theres no reason why tax dollars can’t help these babies. I would rather they got it then those that just wasted all the MILLIONS on airplanes to go on trips with their husbands. What did they have to do with the job at hand???? What gave them the right to use our funds in such a manner. They can get on a commercial airline just like the rest of us. And show proof of purchase!
Start putting you mouths and anger towards those are really using the people….

I agree with Dr. Phil…..she addicted to being pregnant. She doesn’t get it. You can have all the kids you want, but if you can’t take care of them then what? To her being pregnant is like getting high on heroin or crack….it’s her drug of choice. She is a sick, sick woman and the kids need to be taken away from her before they become victims of Munchausen by proxy disease.

I’m tired of hearing about her. That being said - she clearly hasn’t got a grip on reality. I respect her decision not to destroy the embryos; however it was not the ONLY option to have them implanted in her. She had six children, a couple with developmental issues, that she can’t support without the aid of her parents. School loans aren’t intended for feeding the family - it’s to pay for school — school that she cannot attend because she has 14 children that NEED her. Honestly - I hope someone steps in and takes those kids away from her and she gets the psychological help she needs. God bless her parents for trying to help to the best of their ability - but at some point she has GOT to get a grip and do what’s best for those babies — GIVE THEM UP!!!!!!

My mother-in-law was mad that we had a third child. If I had 14 she would have stoned me to death. By having 3 children in a bad marriage, I also have huge financial debt and extreme stress. Should I go an make a XXX porno to pay my bills too? Is making XXX porno the new job profession of the future? If she does make a XXX porno will it be called Octopussy 2? “Octopussy”, is a James Bond movie, so that title is already taken. LOL

My Lord, I actually agree with Rosie O’Donnell for once!
The witch deserves to lose her babies to DFS. She’s putting her parents and the first 6 children through hell. I feel sorry for everyone tangled in Octobitche’s web. She’s a selfish, delusional, horrible person.

Please do not give this irresponsible woman any more attention than she already got. It is time for her to find a job to support the kids that she brought to this world. It is her own choice and she has to pay for it, not be rewarded for it.

She deserves to die for irresponsibly putting the burden of raising those kids on her elderly parents, and for sucking every dollars out of them while they should be allowed to enjoy their old age.

If I were her mom, I just tell her to get out. If Nadya Suleman can parasite on anyone, she will.

Nadya, if you feel so frustrated with this whole thing and decide to end your life, I will help to buy you a coffin.

I think the welfare of all 14 children should be considered. They have more needs than she can provide for. I wouldn’t trust her with one child, let alone 14.

Does anyone care that the skin that is just hanging by now is too gross! Who in the world would want to look at all of that? She is a sick woman who is exploiting her own children. No telling what she might do or make them do to make money.

Enough is enough….for the news and for her. I think we’ve seen enough about her story. Leave it alone. We no longer care. For her, six should have been enough…now she has 14 and she’s single. What was she thinking? I feel sorry for all her kids. On the other hand, she had them now she can suppport them. Don’t come crying to me or my government to pay for your children. I pay for mine, you pay for yours. I’m tired of people having children and then asking for handouts from everyone for the sake of “the poor children”. You had them, deal with it yourself!

I am so tired of hearing everyone put down Nadya Suleman. Take a good look at yourself. Don’t you have skeletons in your closet? JESUS SAID-HE WHO IS WITHOUT SIN AMONG YOU, LET HIM FIRST CAST A STONE AT HER (St. John Chapter 8 verse 7. NONE OF US HAVE THE RIGHT TO JUDGE. We know she may have a problem,so let all of us help her. God let all of those babies live for a reason. God test all of us to see how we act to situations. Let all of us show our love and stop putting her down. She need our help in taking care of those babies. The state should not ever threaten her about taking her babies from her WHEN THEY PUT BABIES OR CHILDREN IN HOMES FOR THEM TO BE MOLESTED OR KILLED. Most of us say we are christians or that we believe in God, BUT DO WE? My mother had seventeen (17) children and I am the youngest girl of seven (10 boys) She had no problems raising us to be respectable and honest children. We never went hungry one day, we always had clothes to wear and shoes on our feet. It is said “It takes a village to HELP raise our children” I am praying that someone has a heart to help get this young lady a place to live with all of her children. As bad as the ecomony is we can help. We as Americans should be ashamed of ourselves as the way we live in this Great Country. We are a very wasteful Country. So If I send $10.00 and you send $10.00 and all who can send something even if $1.00 it will help. We support things we shouldn’t support so why can’t we support those babies. Give her a change. If we all start thinking negative and doing negative things this Great Country will fall. Let’s show the LOVE that God want us to show to one another.
NOW LET ME SEE IF THIS BE HEARD BY ALL!!
