Octuplets: Nadya on Dr Phil (Part 2)

March 10, 2009

(3-10) Octuplets: Updated list of posts

Second part of show. She discusses *Angels in Waiting’s* offer, her new house, which her father is buying, second publicist quitting, 911 call where she says over and over, with her son right there, that she’s gonna kill herself, pornography film, birth video, reality show, who’s supporting her, her parents’ role, (Nadya says she was supporting herself), selling pictures of her children, how she is using the money she has been getting, plans of bringing babies home

Phil asks Nadya how she feels about the agreement with Angels in Waiting.

“Extremely excited and relieved, like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders,” Nadya says. “It’s just amazing because it’s 100 percent for my children, and it just makes me feel like everything is falling into place.”

“Tell me about the new house and how that’s working out,” Dr. Phil says.

“OK, finally, finally, finally found something modest. It’s about 1,000 square footage larger than my mom’s home. The environment is very safe, and it’s conducive to premature infants,” she says. The house has four bedrooms, which they will grow out of some day, but for now it’s a suitable home.

She admitted that her previous house was not safe for children. [Victor Munoz interview with Dr Phil on Larry King and his quitting - see UPDATE list]: “I don’t believe it’s safe enough for the kids at this moment.” So, by her own admission, the 6 kids were already living in an unsuitable environment.

Dr. Phil brings up the departure of Nadya’s second spokesperson.

Nadya explains, “I have a little problem with trusting too much, and so I trusted that his interests were in the best interest of my children, and it turns out they were not. His choices and his unethical, unprofessional behavior negatively affected the kids,” she says.

Why was he doing anything with the kids? He said he had to do everything for them. He worked with the hospital and getting the house. He said she was too greedy and that he, in good conscience, could not continue to work with her.

Media outlets everywhere have been playing a 911 call that Nadya made in October of 2008 when she thought one of her children went missing. In that call, a hysterical Nadya repeatedly says she’s going to kill herself. Dr. Phil asks her what she thinks when she hears that call.

“It’s completely catastrophized,” she says. “I was running around the back yard of my house and in my house looking for him, and I was five months pregnant with eight babies. Literally, that’s why I was out of breath. Yeah, I felt like I was going crazy, and anybody would feel that way if they were in that state with the hormones.” She explains that she didn’t know her son was on a walk with her nanny, and everything turned out fine.

Listen to the call and ask yourself if her saying over and over that she is “going to kill herself” with one of her children there is hormones. Also note how she never hangs up to attend to him when he returns and how the one kid listening to her say “she wants to die” keeps asking the same question and she never reassures him. That’s not hormones - that’s parenting,

Dr. Phil says he’s had a lot of people ask him what he thinks about that call. “I totally get that that would scare the bejeebers out of you, and it was very histrionic and panicky, but am I missing something, or don’t mothers get upset when their children are missing?” he asks.

Nadya says she wasn’t even aware of what she was saying on that phone call, and she was not suicidal.

Not aware of what she was saying? Not suicidal? Listen to the tape yourself - see UPDATE link above. And where is the answer as to whether she was truly suicidal? Maybe she answered it and it wasn’t included here. Will have to wait fro the transcript. She certainly has heard the audio enough times - she commented on it at radaronline.com.

Dr. Phil asks Nadya about the million-dollar offer to make a pornographic movie.

TMZ (hand transcribed)

DR PHIL: You’ve got and offer to do a porno tape for $1M bucks.

NADYA: That’s publicity. [laughs] That’s just their way of trying to stir up the post with more sensationalized lies.I take it with a grain of salt. I think it’s hilarious, but I’m going to frame the offer. [Laughs] That’s kind of funny for memories.

DR PHIL: So there’s no porn tape in your future?

NADYA: It’s not even real. I don’t think it’s even real. And even if I had no children, and I was offered $100 million, that’s not part of who I am. Of course not.

DR PHIL: So this is just not happening, right.

NADYA: It’s funny. No, of course no.

DR PHIL: So there’s nothing to that.

NADYA: No. There was a little counter offer. I thought that was cute - that was funny…

DR PHIL: And there was a story recently that you were going to license the rights to somebody to air your birth video.

NADYA: Oh, I don’t know…

DR PHIL: Is that true? Not true? What’s your thinking on that?

NADYA: Not certain. The goal of that was to have it for memories forever, so that my older kids could see it, and they’ve seen it. They said it was boring. [Laughs.] But it’s just memories for everybody.

DR PHIL: Is there a point at which you say enough is enough? This is getting in the way of the children.

NADYA: Oh. Absolutely.

DR PHIL: I need to draw the line here.

NADYA: Yes. Yes. I don’t want anything invasive. A reality show? No way. No way. That’s another misconception.

DR PHIL: So you’re not interested in a reality show?

NADYA: No - it depends on how it’s done. But–when they’re much older. And it’s not up to me - it’s up to the kids.

Back to the wesbite text:

There have been a lot of misconceptions about your parents and their role in this,” Dr. Phil says.

“I’m extremely fortunate to have their support throughout my life. And they are very positive, very active role models, and they love their grandchildren,” she says.

Nadya says despite what was reported, she wasn’t living with her parents, but they owned the home she was living in. “Again, I was extremely fortunate to be living there. I was paying rent until I couldn’t afford it anymore last summer,” she says.

How does that makes sense? It is the grandmother’s house and she is living in it. Her father doesn’t live there so it’s not technically her “parents”. And the grandmother has said that she did not know about Nadya’s disability money and that she was not paying for anything sicen she forst got pregnant. That the grandmother has been the primary caregiver. From the grandmother’s first interview - see UPDATE link.

GRANDMOTHER: I practically raised her children. She really had no means to support them. They were always living in my house. The truth is that Nadya hasn’t worked since she started having her children, while Ed and I battled to pay her bills. Nadya promised to help me with the bills, but she never has. I did hear that she received money from her insurance - she never told me. But I have never seen any money. Not for house payment or feeding the kids.

“So your mom and dad are not some people you are dumping 14 children on,” Dr. Phil says.

“Oh, of course not,” she says.

“This is not something you’re going to burden them with. You welcome their involvement?” Dr. Phil asks.

“Absolutely,” Nadya says. “My dad visits every day, and then he goes off. My mom, she visits. She doesn’t have to care for them.”

Someone has to - and she has been it. Here’s one more reason why she makes people so angry. She continues to lie. It’s her mother’s house and she has beenproviding everything for them the government is not and she says things like this that are clearly not true.

“People are asking, ‘Why would you license pictures? Why would you sell pictures of the babies?’ Why are you doing that? Because you have done some of that,” Dr. Phil says.

“I never wanted to. This was all unexpected, but because this story, there’s such an interest in this story, and I’ve been offered so many different opportunities, I figure well, my goal is to never be a burden on any taxpayer, and there are a couple opportunities to earn some funds for my children, to put in escrow for the house, or to put in a trust fund, or to pay for nannies. That was my ultimate goal,” she says.

What about paying her hospital bill and her mother’s mortgage payments? And she still will not admt that she is and has been a burden on the California taxpayers.

Nadya tells Dr. Phil all the money she earns goes toward the children.

“In what way? Do you have a trust for them?”

“Yeah, I do have a trust for them, for all of them,” she says.

“Is there a point at which you say, ‘Enough is enough. This is getting in the way of the children’?” Dr. Phil asks.

“Absolutely. Yes,” Nadya says. “I don’t want anything invasive. A reality show? No way. That’s another misconception.”

However, Nadya says she would consider the idea of an hour-long medical documentary about her story. “And I would talk to my older children about how they feel about that,” she says.

“So, any funds that you’ve had come in to date are dedicated to the care of these children?” Dr. Phil asks.

“One hundred percent,” she says.

Dr. Phil goes back to the developments in Nadya’s living arrangements — her soon-to-be new house. “Your plan is to take a den area and turn it into a nursery?” Dr. Phil asks Nadya.

“Yes,” she says. Because the hospital recommends two children per crib, for bonding purposes.

So, you’re going to put four cribs in there?”

“Yeah, initially, until they outgrow them, and then there will be eight cribs,” she says.

“So, this isn’t ideal, but you think it will work for at least a year?” he asks.

“It’s very practical, for maybe a few years,” she says.

Maggie Weston is Nadya’s friend and realtor. She says the new house is a done deal. “We should be closing today,” she says. [$564,900]

Four of Nadya’s premature babies are ready to come home, but the hospital only sends two at a time. Nadya expects the hospital to release them in a few days, after she gets the new home set up.

“And you feel that you can get that done in what period of time?” Dr. Phil asks.

“A few days, hopefully,” she says. She expects either Noah and Isaiah or Noah and Maleeyah to be released first.

“Let me assure you that any funds that are donated are going into a trust that is independently supervised and administered, to assure that all funds go directly to the children,” Dr. Phil says.

Are you in L.A. and have goods to donate to Nadya and her children, such as clothing, diapers and formula? You can drop them off this Saturday, March 14. For details, click here.
