Octomom Documentary HALTED Over Exploitation Concerns

A European film company halted production on the Octomom television documentary today. The documentary focuses on Nadya Suleman, the octuplet mom, and her 14 kids.

According to various sources, Eyeworks UK haven't received the proper permits and requirements for working with the Octomom's six-month old octuplets. Others say the children are being exploited.

"We're still working on our permits with the kids," said Daysun Perkins, vice president of development for Eyeworks USA. "We're trying to make sure we have everything in place appropriately before we move forward. We're just kind of on pause at the moment."

To protect the octuplet children's financial interests, an Orange County Superior Court Judge assigned a guardian to oversee the finances of the California Octuplets. Attorney Norbert Bunt was assigned as a third-party guardian to protect the $250,000 each Octuplet would receive over the three year filming contract.

The filming of the octuplet documentary was halted after a complaint that the celebrity gossip Web site failed to get required state permits, filming the octuplets at hours and time periods banned by regulation - and for not providing a teacher to watch over the octuplet kids during taping sessions.

Eyeworks expects to continue the filming once the permits are obtained and the requirements are satisified.

Meanwhile, the relationship between Nadya Suleman and her parents, Angela and Doud have gone downhill since she moved out of her mom's home. Nadya's mom home was foreclosed on last month and she is being forced to leave; Doud is heading to the Middle East to work as an interpreter.

"She seems to want us out of out of her life. I don't know why, since we always did everything for her," said Angela Suleman, 72.

"I don't think she would ban us from the house," she said. "Grandparents have their rights. We love the kids."

Things are so bad with the relationship that Nadya is considering getting a restraining order against them. It all stems from Nadya not being happy about her mom visiting the children.

"All I want to say is that even if you're family, you can't trash your family, you can't say such deprecating things and expect to be completely accepted," Suleman said.

"She just happened to show up yesterday when she knew I would not be home," Suleman said. "I believe as a grandmother she deserves to be a part of their lives ... but I need time to resolve this."
