(Newser) – Nadya Suleman shrugged off a legal filing by lawyer Gloria Allred today that aims to stop the Octo-Mom from financially exploiting her kids, Radar and Us Weekly report. "People are opportunists, and they just want to be in the spotlight," Suleman said. Allred and a child advocacy group are seeking a guardian to protect the children's finances, after reports that Suleman had inked a deal for a reality show.

An appointed guardian "will assure that the childrens' compensation is fair and that their money is segregated and supervised," Allred said at a press conference. Retorted Suleman: "I'm gonna continue to live in my baby bubble with my kids. And whoever wants a piece of me or the babies, keep on trying. That's all I have to say."

Who paid for these babies? Does she owe anything to the wonderful CA people for paying the millions of dollars of hospital bills these premies incurred? How does she afford to live in her baby bubble without government help?

"People are opportunists, and they just want to be in the spotlight." Look who's talking.

I wonder how your typical Republican Right-to-Life advocate feels about the Octo-Mom, including her right to support them in the best she can? Aren't the babies and their mom's freedom to earn a living-- without Government interference-- the over-riding issues here?
