Octomom's Publicist Quits, Octomom Defends a Frantic 911 Call

Publicist says, "It just got to be too much," calls her nuts.

Victor Munoz is the second publicist to call it quits after representing "Octomom," Nadya Suleman. Munoz told Usmagazine.com that he quit Friday, saying, "It got to be too much," and "Nadya got real greedy. This woman is nuts." Joann Killeen, Suleman's first publicist, also quit.

Suleman expects to start bringing her octuplets home this week, but the hospital has voiced concern, saying it might not allow the children to go home with Suleman if she is incapable of caring for that many infants.

ABCNews.com reported that last week, Suleman defended a frantic 911 call she made. During the call, she hysterically explains that she cannot locate her 5-year-old son and threatens to kill herself. She can be heard saying, "Oh God, I am going to kill myself. Oh God. I'm going to kill myself. I am going to kill myself." The 911 operator can also be heard telling her to calm herself in front of her son, saying, "He doesn't need to hear that." Suleman explained she was "a little anxious" during the call. Her son was safe and with his grandmother as she took a walk around the block.

Suleman has made numerous 911 calls; she explained the majority were due to complications during her pregnancy. Apparently, her children are also calling 911. In one call from her home, a little boy told the operator that he was in charge.

Since she gave birth to octuplets, Suleman has been a fixture on Radar Online, giving interviews and keeping a daily diary. In one entry, she wonders, "Since when was it a crime to call 911?"

Her impregnation through in vitro fertilization has sparked great controversy, including criticism from her own mother. According to the Associated Press, Angela Suleman disapproved of her daughter's actions: "It can't go on any longer. She's got six children and no husband."

Thousands of California taxpayers have protested the use of tax dollars to pay for her hospital stay, estimated to be around $1 million. There have also been those that have tried to help through a Web site set up by a public relations firm. One farmer in the Midwest offered to house the family, and a man recently stepped forward saying he is the father of the octuplets. Suleman denies the claim, but continues to seek support from anyone willing to give.
