A new rumor is circulating that Michael Jackson had attempted to adopt Nadya Suleman's eight babies in the weeks leading up to his recent death. The story says that the singer offered cash for the infants.
Victor Munoz, publicist for Suleman, says that he was contracted by Jackson earlier this year. Munoz contends that Jackson offered to 'take care' of the children in exchange for a payment.
ABC 15 reports:
Munoz tells the U.K.'s Daily Mirror, "When Michael called I thought it was a joke at first. I was getting hundreds of calls every day and many from celebrities' agents saying their clients wanted to help."
In the end Suleman never received the message according to Munoz. He says he knew the mother of 14 had no intentions of putting her children up for adoption so there was no point of informing her of the discussion.
Munoz says that during the telephone call Jackson inquired about the children and offered to take care of them if Suleman was unable to do so.
