Nadya Suleman is without a publicist after Joann Killeen, President of Killeen Furtney Group’s president, quit because of death threats. Angry folks were also threatening to boycott her clients. She said she wasn’t getting paid and the public wasn’t exactly clamoring to contribute so she cut her losses.

According to FOX, Killeen said Nadya Suleman told her Wes Yoder signed on as Suleman’s agent. Yoder says no way.

Ambassador Agency Inc. president Wes Yoder released a statement contradicting remarks by a public relations firm that his Franklin, Tennessee-based company was representing Nadya Suleman.

He said his company had provided pro bono advice on licensing Suleman family photographs and looked into the possibility of representing them, but decided against it.

“Ambassador has not executed a representation agreement, nor do we intend to do so,” Yoder said.

The Killeen Furtney Group’s answering machine message continued to direct callers to Yoder’s firm on Monday. A message could not be left for Killeen, as her voice-mail box was full.

Yoder’s company, which bills itself as the oldest Christian-based talent agency in the United States, arranged book and music deals for the McCaughey septuplets a decade ago and has provided publicity for famed pastor Rick Warren.

So, who’s next?
