OctoMom's PR Firm Resigns

The Killeen Furtney Group, the PR firm that represented OctoMom, has resigned. We posted last week that they would soon regret trying to cash in on representing this person. They cited death threats as their reason. It is more likely death of their business.

Guess Nadya Suleman will have to represent herself, which means she will be out of the spotlight. We all are winners.

OctoMom Defies Media Traditions

One thing is for sure, the media love pets and kids. They also love a heartwarming and heartbreaking story. Nadya Suleman, or OctoMom, fits that category perfectly. She has lots of kids and is very needy.

But surprisingly, the media have taken a hard line position on the story. Who is going to pay the bills has been a huge story, and there haven't been many, if any, cuddly stories on the babies.

Kudos to the LA Times for actually cutting loose some investigative reporters and doing their job.

Mom of 14 Hires PR Firm

The woman who gave birth to 8 and has been the media curiosity of the month, hired a small PR firm to field the slew of media requests that have been flooding in.

Mother Nadya Suleman reportedly hired publicists Michael Furtney and Joann Killeen to field media inquiries and offers.

My sense is they are doing it for the PR themselves and are spinning the story to make Suleman the most famous and wonderful mom in the world. But they will have their work cut out for them as many reporters openly wonder how the mother of 14 can raise all those kids, especially since she has been living on workers comp for the past 10 years.

Stay tuned.
