(Newser) – Nadya Suleman may finally be getting some love from Angelina Jolie. The actress is considering donating “thousands of dollars” to her lookalike because she “knows how chaotic and costly raising a big family can be,” a source told Star. The only problem? Jolie “doesn't necessarily approve of Nadya, and she doesn't want to turn the situation into even more of a circus.”

Meanwhile, Victor Munoz, Suleman’s former publicist who once called her “greedy” and “nuts,” defended her in a video interview with Radar: “I felt from day one that she was being bullied” by Gloria Allred and Angels in Waiting, he said, adding that “since I’ve left, I’ve seen nothing but a downward spiral, and I feel really bad for that.”

They didn’t understand the way Nadya thought, and Nadya obviously didn’t understand what Angels in Waiting’s agenda really was.
