Octomom Nadya Suleman was on Oprah on Friday, and financial guru Suze Orman got up in her face, called her a liar, and said she was “completely out of touch with reality.” Suleman claimed she “saved” up the money to pay for in vitro this last time after having six kids she already couldn’t afford and Suze yelled “lie, lie, lie, I went through your finances… you did not save the money!” (You can watch that segment on Oprah.com and Radar has another.) Suleman backed down and claimed she she saved and borrowed. Suze asked Octomom if she was a baby addict, and made her give a direct answer. Octomom tried to plead her case to Oprah using a bunch of psychobabble as usual and the whole scene just made me feel sorry for Suze Orman. I love Suze, and I regularly watch her shown on CNBC. (You can download the podcast for free on iTunes.) It’s beneath her to try to talk financial sense to a lying whackjob like Octomom, even if Oprah is involved.
A few months ago, Suze gave advice to Octomom with steps to get her financial house in order. Suze said on Oprah that Octomom had $300 in her bank account at the time and was about a week away from being kicked out of her home with all 14 of her kids. Suleman, who declared bankruptcy a couple of years ago, swore up and down that she took Orman’s advice to heart. She said she held a yard sale, secured an agent and has worked a couple of jobs since.
At that point Suleman had yet to resort to working in porn. We’ve heard that adult film Vivid head Steven Hirsh is anxious to work with her, and has even paid off a $450,000 balloon payment she has owed on her home since March, 2010. Suleman has been making her typical excuses as to why she’s facing foreclosure yet again, but it looks like she’s been bailed out by Vivid this time.
Now there’s news that Octomom is starring in a spanking fetish video, in which “she whips a grown man wearing a baby diaper and a bonnet” while “dressed in a black corset [and] black leggings.” The thing is, TMZ reports that the video “is being shopped for sale,” which makes it sound like it’s not owned by Vivid. Did Octomom make her own fetish video in order to make ends meet? Hirsh shouldn’t hold his breath – the bitch isn’t going to pay him back that $450k she owes him. If this video wasn’t made by Vivid, it sounds like Suleman is trying to beat them at their own game. Suze does not approve. “DENIED!”
Wow, I get this is supposed to entertaining and helpful, but I find it difficult to help someone that is doing porn/fetish movies for a living to “work on their finances” with 14 children and her history of financial disaster. Nadya doesn’t have a steady job – if Suze really wanted to help she would at least help her find a decent job. That’s the biggest need in resolving financial issues, that as well as taking responsibility for your finances.
I haven’t read the article yet, but…
Baby addict? The words “No sh*t” come to mind. I feel badly for the children. I think she’s probably a few sandwiches short of a picnic.
I look at her and all I see is a grotesque plastic face. How much money has this lady spent on in-vitro and cosmetic surgery. I don’t feel sorry for her at all, she talks too much. She’s a total manipulator. Her children will continue to be screwed left in her care whether the world financially supports her or not. She is disturbing beyond belief.
Ugh! This is another one of those bitches that I wish would just get shot into space to never be seen again.
You make someone hold a steady job if they don’t want to. Octojerk just doesn’t want to.
She’s a circus freak and I can’t believe she still has custody of those poor children. I also think this was so beneath both Suze Orman and Oprah to try and “help” her.
Hell, she’s on Oprah. She’s famous and that is all she ever wanted. She is a success in her mind.
Whats ironic about that show was there was a huge backlash towards Oprah and Suze on the Oprah show boards for the way they treated Octonut. I watched the show and didnt see with they were talking about. Suze was trying to get her to be honest and as usual, she tried to lie about everything, including her lips and lashes. Octonut put on a show saying she didnt want fame or to be known as Octomom but yet she tried to get a trademark on her name last year. She even tried to say she didnt want anything to do with fame since her mom was always harping on her to be a model when she was a child…LOL
I have a feeling Suze was holding back a lot of info she discovered, including Octo’s company Harmony Enterprises that she transfers her money to so she can still collect state help.
I just hope Suze told her straight to her fake face that shes so broke and yet spend money on plastic surgeries trying to be Angelina. i really wanted to hear her LIES that she never did surgery and Suzy wil tell her BIG LIAR and they will show her before and after photos.
So a yard sale, celebrity bartending, and getting a literary agent with no results seen by the public saved her from being destitute? I think not! Octofreak has money hidden somewhere – who else claims to be destitute but has ALL their kidsin private school, a lawyer on retainer, and has their own corporation to filtermoney through?
I think the upshot of Nadya returning to the Oprah show was they wanted her to recognize her issues. However, I got the sense both Suze and Oprah will work with her as mentors and guides. I also ge the sense that Oprah will help with the education of those children in someway. It was actually a good show.
She gave birth to all those babies when I was in abnormal psych in my undergrad. It became a fun activity to try to diagnose her with stuff during class. Unfortunately there is no diagnosis for “batshit crazy” or “Baby Hoarding” in the DSM-IV-TR…but I’m holding out for the DSM-V to be released…haha.
But seriously…she’s fucked up in the head. You don’t need to be in the psychology/psychiatry field to see that she is mentally ill.
No serious comment on the Batshit One, but just wanna say her hairstyle does her NO favours at all. It’s all flat against the top of her head. Looks bad, man.
If she loses that house, then so be it! Maybe then her kids can be placed in loving, capable homes. And if she and her kids don’t get and stay PRIVATE, on-going psychological counseling, all of the jobs/handouts, Oprahs, and Ormans in the world ain’t gonna help. She’ll be right back in this same predicament, and eventually unleash 14 more unprepared and delusional people onto society.
And counseling is not homespun soundbites from Dr Phil, to be aired ad nauseum in a 5-part series on OWN, so PLEASE, spare us all.
best part? i here the video was filmed in her house. does this means we’ll see and hear all of he munchkins in it? hah!
I saw this episode. It was awesome. Suze was so over it and clearly this woman is insane.
I’m sorry, but how *can* you talk “financial sense” into a woman who already has 14 children, a delusional picture of reality, and no income?! She’s already screwed. There is no way she can make enough to support all 14 of those kids until age 18 at this point unless she whores them out for a reality show a la Kate Plus Eight. And I’m not sure anyone would even do a show with her because she’s clearly both a drama queen and totally unhinged.
Even if she made $150k a year, she would STILL probably have to claim welfare to support her children. $150k doesn’t go very far for 15 people! That’s living on $10k a year each, which is going to be very difficult even if she lives incredibly frugally, because the expenses of housing all of those people (buy the home when hers is foreclosed on, paying property taxes in California, etc.) are going to be super high. Factor in the special needs of babies under 2 (diapers, special food, etc.) and that takes away from the other kids. The older ones will probably have to live on $5k a year each. Unless she starts shopping at Costco and serving a lot of home made Hamburger Helper, this woman is going to be drowning in debt for the rest of her life.
She’s an idiot, basically. Because all of these kids were not only planned for, they were all conceived via in vitro. You’d think she’d have, I don’t know, planned for this all and maybe stopped after baby #7?
I never thought I’d say something supportive about the Duggars, but at least they’re smart enough to budget debt-free and can provide for the needs of their children with enough left over to give them some nice things (even if they have to share). Nadia’s kids will be lucky if they get clothing for the holidays.
This woman needs a psychiatrist imo…not Suze or Orpah.
What’s really pathetic is she doesn’t have the earning capability to support her family & she knew that beforehand.
@Laurie…I know of a chick who works the welfare system…just like what ur describing…& it is infuriating to know my tax $ are paying for her groceries & medical insurance. So wrong.
I watched part of the interview, I actually thought it was a re-run or something.
The woman is not right. She couldn’t give a straight answer, lied constantly, and generally acted mentally unwell. Freaky explosive laughter, wouldn’t accept responsibility for herself (lots of answers were “because my father..”), DENIED plastic surgery through her blown up lips.
What a mess. Oprah is in Maury Povich territory now. Suze was not having it.
Why bother? It’s like talking to a brick wall. Good for Suze for trying, but it’s a waste of her time.
Crash! Hiya girl. And yes I agree-wtf is she doing on Oprah on her LAST SEASON OF AMAZINGNESS!! Octomom is last season worthy? I can’t stand her.
Happymom, NOTHING is beneath Oprah. If Maury wasn’t already doing it, she’d have paternity shows – anything to get the $$$. I know everybody thinks Oprah’s some kind of savior, but she controls her fans the media through exploitation. She’s just really good at it, so few of the loons who love her notice,but if you really think about it, you’ll see how craftily she takes advantage of damaged people, particularly her viewers.
Dear Lord…
****Smacking my head like I have tourette’s*******
Make the doctor pay Vivid back. Implanting twelve embryos in a woman with six children already is a complete breech of medical ethics. Compounded with the fact that there is definitely a mental health issue present there, her doctor’s actions are even more horrific. Losing his license is not enough for him.
I agree that Suze should help her find a job. I like a lot of her advice, but she is a little out of touch in her suggestions to people who have no JOBS. I’ve read advice in magazines from her to people with no room in the budget that has made me wonder about Suze.
Her lips have gone way down! I guess she can’t afford the fillers for them!
why is this woman still getting attention? she is clearly mentally ill and needs help, not getting yelled at by suze orman. those poor children are doomed.
@ happygirl – I think she’s probably a basket, some utensils, and possible a blanket short of a full picnic. But I completely agree.
The fact that she still has custody of those kids speaks volumes of how completely broken social services is in CA.
Octo mom needs a psychiatrist not Suze Octomom or Oprah, she has mental health issues and will never hold down a job. I can see those kids eventually being taken away from her because she unable to care for them.
I watched the episode. She was clearly trying to gain pity from Oprah, hoping she would give her a hand out if she said the right things. She is the biggest liar. Everyone can see the plastic surgery all over her face, yet she vehemently denies it. And the “trying to get acceptance from women because of her mom” excuse was stupid as hell. The woman is a delusional, self centered narcissist. Those kids don’t stand a chance.
Why is anyone giving this woman the time of day?
I saw the episode and when she said she “saved” for her procedures and Suze called her a “liar”–I fell out laughing.
Suze also told her to stop getting mani-pedis and lose the personal trainer..
this chick is a nutjob for REAL–stammering and lying and laughing at the wrong things and of course STILLLLLL blaming her mother issues.
lord, I hope she does not have to move back in on her mom–that oldest kid is violent and he purposely kicks and bites her older lil mom..
I saw a video on Radar, where he attacked the grandmom and Octo told her to stay out of is way.
yeah, all kinds of crazy!!
What a sad, delusional, scary woman. What is she qualified to do? There’s no way she could make enough money cleaning houses or whatever her skills are, to take care of 14 children. It’s time for her to start fostering them out or give them up. Otherwise we will have to witness something very horrific in the not to distant future.
I am no fan of Octomom, but I CAN’T STAND Suze Orman, and would like to know what right she has to judge ANYONE about ANYTHING. Financial advisor or not. She and Oprah are taking advantage of this woman; manipulating her infamous behavior for their own reasons. They are worse than she is.
Please…I LOATHE Octotwit.
A hustler, grifter, parasitic leech, I could go on and on.
Still getting mani-pedis but crying she will be homeless.
I better stop here or I will be banned, but I truly wish this woman would go away, and her kids be adopted by caring, responsible people.
@happygirl – “a few sandwiches short of a picnic” is my new favorite phrase!!! Never heard that one before. 🙂
I think Octomom DOES realize she made a huge mistake and is sort of trying to rectify it now. She is still nutty and still spending money on things she shouldnt be: nails, etc. Can u imagine being her with all those kids, no husband and not alot of help because she cant afford it – i think she realizes she did not think this one out but doesnt seem to get that she is in dire straits and maincures etc are first to go. I dont think she is evil just terribly naive.
The fetish pictures are up at TMZ and a video is promised for tomorrow (actually this morning)
It would not be so disturbing if it wasn’t filmed in the kid’s home with their toys and things as props. By doing that she has dragged them into her sickness even more than they already are.
Poor kids. I hope CPS is keeping a close eye on this disaster waiting to happen.
Excellent facts, grateful I stumbled right here.
