The show is slated to begin filming Sept. 1, according to the documents.
The payments outlined in the contracts say Suleman's kids will collectively earn $125,000 for 36 days of shooting in the first year of production, $75,000 for 21 days in the second year and $50,000 for 14 days in the third year. Any extra shooting days will be compensated at the same rate.
The contract also states that 15 per cent of the gross compensation will be deposited by Eyeworks into a "Coogan Trust Account," as required by California law. The monies can't be touched until the children turn 18 or become legally emancipated.

A call to Suleman's lawyer Jeff Czech was not immediately returned Friday afternoon. He has said previously that the family has hired an entertainment lawyer and established a trust for her children, ages eight and under.
Suleman has faced allegations of labour abuses in recent months.
State regulators brought four citations against Web site RadarOnline for their video taping of the first two octuplets to go home from the hospital. The state Labor Commissioner said the Web site failed to get required state permits, videotaped the infants for periods of time that were illegal and failed to provide a child monitor during the tapings.

A hearing is scheduled on Monday in Orange County Superior Court, in the lawsuit brought by attorney Gloria Allred. Allred asked for a labour investigation and the establishment of a trust for the children on behalf of former child entertainer Paul Petersen, president of a group dedicated to the protection of child performers.
Suleman gave birth to the world's longest-surviving set of octuplets on Jan. 26, but the medical curiosity of their delivery turned to public indignation when it was learned all 14 of her children were conceived by in vitro fertilization.
My take on this: Wake up and smell the coffee or tea,whatever rocks your boat...can't you see this is a deranged person ...doesn't care about the welfare of her children, just the money and and doesn't care how she gets it,even at the expense of the children, she is a mentally ill and unstable person. ...It was reported here not long ago that her oldest son grabbed a knife and threatened his grand mother. Lucky she got away but he managed to knock her down and she injured her arm. That is one troubled child ,honey. See what you're creating, Nadya. It just infuriates the hell out of me. But hey that's just me....stay tuned: the saga continues:
That woman is worse than a rabbit.
ReplyDeleteThey need to gut her like a fish or as my aunt Nee would say just sew up the choochie but leave a little hole to pee out of.
I would tell Nee she don't get pregnant the reguler way .
Now whats the fun in that ?
Her kids will grow up to hate her when they start school the kids and grown-ups will say mean and ugly things to them. Peop;e are so cruel and it's not those kids fault.
The oldest one is going to end up killing or hurting someone real bad. Nan

ReplyDeleteWhat do you think would happen if the oldest boy get mad at one or all of those tiny babies? I hate to think about it. Nan
She has stated she wants to have more babies Nan.
ReplyDeleteYou know I never thought of that boy taking out his anger on those babies.It's perfectly possible.In fact, it's likely, if he doesn't get the professional treatment he needs.
They are saying that he doeesn't get any attention from his mother any more. He used to be number one in her eyes.All kids act out their problems.(not usually with a knife)
I don't know what would happen to the kid, someone with authority should step in before it's to late, and take all those kids, don't give her a chance to cash in on them..give them a fair chance in life.
