And if she went into this expecting to exploit it, wouldn't she have started media-whoring herself around when she was pregnant and as big as a house with 6 kids already at home?
In any case, it doesn't sound like she'll want for an income, the hospital was getting deluged with calls and requests for her (and that's why the publicists came on board, to field all of the requests and offers), gifts are already arriving, they'll be fine: http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la...,6983653.story |
Just a few things to point out from your article:
Some media reports have speculated that Suleman might be paid as much as $2 million for an interview, but Furtney said, "The money itself is not the object."
Riiiiiight.
Furtney said the public will be persuaded that "she is a very good person and someone they should support" after they learn more about her.
We will?
He described her as "very bright" with a "great sense of humor."
I swear I am trying very hard not to laugh, right now.
Her 15 minutes of fame might be fleeting. Diaper makers might donate products in exchange for a positive press mention, but longer-term sponsorship is unlikely, said William Chipps, senior editor of the IEG Sponsorship Report, which tracks and analyzes sponsorships.
And when that reality sets in as the lights dim...
Nannies, baby photographers and breast-feeding women called to offer free services and support.
Some of this is going to get creepy.
Many callers expressed outrage, demanding an explanation about who was going to care for the children and pay for their care.
