Earlier today we published a story that octuplet mom Nadya Suleman, 33, was interviewed by NBC’s Ann Curry in a segment which will air on Monday on Dateline. Suleman has drawn ire for her decision to have as many children as quickly as possible despite the fact that she is single, lives with her parents and as we just learned has been unemployed and living on disability for six years.
The Today Show aired a segment from the upcoming interview this morning. In her interview with Curry, Suleman revealed that she’s had death threats, and claimed that people are so negative towards her because she’s a single mom. As commenter Jean pointed out, it really looks like she’s had a bad nose job and lip injections. I came away from watching this with an even worse opinion of this woman. She seemed self righteous and defensive. On the surface what she was saying seemed ok, but it was her attitude that just made her seem entitled.
On criticism that she can’t afford her kids
“I know I will be able to afford them when I’m done with my schooling. If I were just sitting down, watching TV, and not being as determined as I am to succeed and provide a better future for my children, I believe that that would be considered to a certain degree, selfish.”On how it’s more selfish not to be there for your kids than to have a bunch of them
“I’m providing myself to my children. I’m loving them unconditionally, accepting them unconditionally, everything I do. I’ll stop my life for them, and be present with them, and hold them, and be with them, and how many parents do that? I’m sure there are many that do, but many don’t, and that’s unfortunate and that’s selfish.”
[Transcribed from Suleman’s interview with Ann Curry, aired on The Today Show, 2/6/09]
Suleman told Curry that she used same fertility specialist for all pregnancies and was aware of the risks. She said that she was just implanted with six embryos, as she was the other times.
On if she wanted just one or two embryos implanted
Of course not, I wanted all of them transfered. Those are my children. That’s what was available, and I used them. So, I took a risk, it’s a gamble, it always is.On the backlash against her because she’s single
A lot of couples do undergo this procedure. It’s not as controversial because they’re couples. It’s more acceptable to society. I feel as though I’ve been under the microscope because I’ve chosen this unconventional kind of life… all I wanted was children, I wanted to be a mom that’s all I ever wanted in my life.On why she didn’t selectively reduce the embryos
Sometimes when we have that dream and that passion and we take risks, and I did and it turned out perfectly.
[Transcribed from Suleman’s interview with Ann Curry, aired on The Today Show, 2/6/09]
Curry said that Suleman told her she has never been on welfare and hopes to get by with help from her family. As we mentioned earlier, NBC claims that they didn’t pay her for this interview. Suleman plans to go back to college in the fall, where she is working on her masters degree in counseling and hopes to take advantage of the college daycare center.
she almost looks Angelina Jolie.. Shes going to be a big cekebrity , like it or not. as I said ..move over kate Gosslin
She admitted to having a nose job while talking about her babies? wow.
This whole thing boggles my mind. All I wanted was kids, too, so I had 2~ a number my mate and I can afford, manage and actually raise ourselves.
Skankolina is gonna be PISSED with this bitch.
Having no partner has to be so hard, she has some mental issues going on, I don’t mean that maliciously, but she does.
No state or federal aid for this opportunist. WHO IS PAYING FOR THE INFANTS’ CARE IN THE HOSPITAL? YOU ARE, dear readers!!
She really does resemble Angelina. Maybe Angie’s gone incognito to gather more children …
Angelina must be fuming!
she’s a twit. complaining that she is under the microscope because of her choices and saying she is receiving unfair criticism because she is single instead of a couple. I would have the same problem if she were married and they couldnt afford having this many kids and if she and her husband were living off disability in their in-law’s house and one of them had been f#ucking around with some plastic surgery at the tax payer’s expense. regardless of her marital status, this is irresponsible and sickening. and furthermore, she has invited the microscope because she is the one courting the media, putting price tags on her interviews and pretty much planning on her litter gaining notoriety and making her rich-this whole deal of having this many kids is a media ploy and get-rich quick scheme by a highly manipulative, entitled, and unstable crackpot.
LOL at meme. A good hard laugh.
And just so she knows, that whole “and THAT is selfish” self-entitled know-it-all attitude didn’t convince me at all. She’s still a whack-job. Godspeed to all of her children.
“determine to succeed”..??? What if there is variable? She just wants to be a celebrity.
people should take “becoming a parent tests” before they are allowed to have children.
@Stacy, the article says that she looks like she had a nose job and lip injections, it’s very obvious to me, not that she said this. I will re-word the title so this is more clear.
I think she is trying very hard to imitate/become like Angelina Jolie. Big lips and nose job: check, multiple kids: double check!
Ridiculous- so what if SHE wants babies, SHE wants to be a mom . . .what about the KIDS who have to grow up in chaos? What about the REST OF US TAXPAYERS who foot the bill for her? Assuming she doesn’t have health insurance, guess who’s paying the hospital bills?
I have 3 kids, well spaced, and enough income to support them. Even then, it’s hard. This chick makes me apoplectic.
PS – She can try all she wants, she ain’t no Angelina.
How does Angelina fit into this thread?
Grow up trolls.
As a single mom, I do have to say that I get tired of hearing “single mom” slung around in the media all the time (I’m talking to you, Ann Coulter!). Most single moms out there didn’t undertake this scary mission on purpose!! Many of us are divorced (as I am, from an unstable, volatile man) or widowed (as my sister is). This lady gives single moms a bad name.
Also, she wants all these kids as an escape from a “dysfunctional family” — you know, the same people who’ve been caring for her precious older children while she holds her newborns for 45-minute increments all day long!!
So she’s going back to college and her kids will be taken care of by the magical childcare fairy I suppose?!!
This woman seriously p****s me off, more so now I’ve seen this. Maybe I’m old-fashioned, or just a daddy’s girl, but I do see a problem with her doing this without a father – s*** happens, relationships break-up and parents can’t be around for whatever reason, but deliberately denying your children fully half their parents is incredibly selfish.
Anyone else seen the movie “Idiocracy”?
She is incredibly smug and selfish! Her 3 year old is autistic, all of this is incredibly hard on him. I have on autistic son, and 2 typical daughters, and it is very, very hard. I cannot imagine having any more kids knowing you have a special-needs child, and 5 more that need you at home!! What’s next, is she going to hoard animals too?
“…be present with them, and hold them, and be with them, and how many parents do that? I’m sure there are many that do, but many don’t, and that’s unfortunate and that’s selfish.”
*** umm, maybe some of those who don’t are out WORKING!!! All of the above is easy to say when you are AT HOME and don’t have to worry about getting up going to a 9 to 5 every damn day!! sheesh!
When I saw the interview this morning, the first thing I thought is “This woman is trying to be Angelina Jolie.”
*hides from Daisy in a corner, lol*
Oh and please don’t say this woman looks like angelina – NO AT ALL. More like a VERY low budget knock off of Liv Tyler.
This woman is obviously mentally ill and the doctors that completed the IVF on this woman who ALREADY had 6 kids should be liable for malpractice.
This is madness. Even functioning families (let alone people with minimal support and have several challenges such as a special needs child) would struggle under the stress of parenting 14 children under the age of 10.
She should be charged with reckless endangerment and child neglect.

Grow up trolls.
___________________________
LOL AJ got Mad while still married to BBT and the next 5 children with a her partner BP. She has not cost any of us (fans, haters) a penny. On the other hand most people making 40-60,000 a year before taxes have to pretty irate at this woman who has received upwards of $168,000 (so far). It takes a lifetime for the average person to put aside that much money for retirement. And many people that work have no money for retirement. Hate Angie all you want, clearly there is no comparison
lol! codzilla. You bad!
She definitely does have an Ang thing going on but her face looks like it’s made up of very separate, not necessarily co-operative working parts.
Just a joke about AJ, jeez.
geronimo: Didn’t see your comment before I posted mine. I guess I am bad — who knew?
“A lot of couples do undergo this procedure. It’s not as controversial because they’re couples. It’s more acceptable to society.”
That’s not why! It’s because you have 14 KIDS now, you psycho!
she sees $$ signs. that’s what she’s after. hope no one signs her for a show & if they do, hope no one watches. this is so much more than irresponsible. it’s disgusting.
Her lips look freaking painful to me, they’re all distorted and twisted. I wonder if her fertility doctor also does cosmetic surgery procedures.
First thing that went through my mind when I saw the video: she looks so much like Angelina.
@bros, ditto. This chick is a waste of everyone’s time and definitely using the children to benefit herself.
She’s TRYING to look like Angelina. She looks like a charicature of Jolie. But she’s clearly trying to model herself, in more ways than one, after her.
I thought they said the $168,000 was from an insurance settlement for something completely unrelated to the kids. She was hurt in a riot at a hospital she worked at, like, a long time ago.
CRAZY LADY
If she was my daughter, I would have stapled her uterus closed ten kids ago.
I agree on the Angelina Jolie thing… Wow!
Actually, she looks more like Angelina Jolie’s mother… Wow!
Gag. This woman seems to have a holier than thou attitude towards other parents, for some reason. She’s able to give her children her “self” while other parents are forced to do things like work to occupy their time. I hope all the working parents out there realize just how selfish they really are. gaag.
An attempt at a carefully crafted image by the firm representing her. She states the following. I grew up in a normal home … I grew up in a dysfunctional home.
To have 14 children without consideration of how she would care for them … 2 bedroom home, no income, is narcissistic.
Everything that’s wrong with 21st century society is embodied in this woman. I want, so I am entitled to have, regardless of any consequences down the line. Oh, and someone else is going to pick up the bill.
She’s getting a degree in COUNSELLING???
Who would let this fish-lipped nutjob counsel them?
She is obviously not thinking clearly and did not consider the long term. She sounds pretty selfish to me. But the doctors who did the implants she be brought up on charges and stopped. But now that the children are here, people are going to have to get past the strange behavior and pray for the children.
She looks like Pete Burns, not AJ! (Google him if you don’t know who he is.)
the comparisons with angelina fall away when you think about the fact that AJ is not asking tax payers to foot the bill for her family planning decisions.
(and just for the record, that doesnt mean that i am not in favor of government support for family planning clinics or planned parenthood)
She’s never been on welfare because she receives disability! And I would be willing to bet that several of her kids receive SS benefits. Surely all the new ones will. I love that she knows she’ll be able to support her kids once she finishes her education. What about until then? And did she think about how difficult it will be to finish her education with FOURTEEN children! I attended a college that offered day care. It wasn’t free, and they certainly would not have accepted 14 kids from one parent. This woman has some serious issues. And she says she conceived through IVF with all her children. Who paid for that!! I know people who’ve had IVF one time and it was over $20K.
What I want to know is how someone always manages to bring up AJ in almost every post. Even when the connection seems FAR-STRETCHED?
LOL.
Oye.
Anyway, back on this crazy woman.
She’s ridiculous. As if there aren’t enough starving, dying children in this world. Let’s add 8 more (to her already LARGE NUMBER of 6) and then let’s have taxpayers cover it. She’s the reason why the rest of the world hates us. Look at this excess and look at this unbelievable display of self-importance.
Quick, someone slap her and burst those lips.
She keeps excusing her actions.
At the end of the day taxpayers are going to foot the bill for octupussy’s children. Her parents spoiled her awful and that is why she is acts so entittled like she does now.
People are not comparing Angelina to this woman, but just saying this woman is, clearly, trying to be Angelina in some twisted and sick way!!! Probably it wasn´t the intetion when she started to have babies, but now she is taking this as an opportunity to get more exposure, I guess!
Anna: “Who would let this fish-lipped nutjob counsel them?”
Someone let a fish-lipped nutjob be a spokesperson for the UN. Wonders never cease…
Bitch is delusional. Is she really trying to justify her narcissistic behavior by guilting the general public into empathizing with her? She’ll make an awesome mother/councilor.
And a Masters in Psychology doesn’t amount to shit. Maybe 60,000, if you’re particularly good, but most people aren’t in the business for the paycheck. Every psych grad knows the real money is in Psychiatry.
so wait – she claims she was brought up in a dysfunctional household? and yet she is still living in the same dysfunctional house, only now with her 14 children? mmmmmkay.
Oooh! I called it.
I think she looks more like Janine Garofallow ( who would totally kick her ass.)
An Angelina Jolie wannabe.
I love what her mom said to the press about her:
“She’s basically normal except for this obsession she’s always had with children”
Basically normal?! Obsession with children?! WOW
She looks wierd, who paid for the plastic surgery. She is crazy – I hope she can find a job after she finishes school – a lot of peoplewith MBA’s are out of work!
She’s in fantasy land if she thinks that having an MA in counseling from a noname school is going to earn her $100,000 a year. Do you know how many women have MA’s in counseling and are unemployed? And she apparently expects that the university daycare center is going to have room for her fourteen children while she takes classes! How is she even going to unload the kids from the car to get them into the daycare center? And if she takes fourteen slots at the university daycare center at $1,000/mth per child, that’s 14,000/month for daycare — and BTW, no one else at the university can now have any daycare because she’s taken all the slots. Huh? FANTASY LAND. (“and then all my patients will come to my house and i”ll see them while the kids are napping, and I’ll earn a fortune in my spare time . . “)
Good luck with that, as Dr. Phil would say . .
Baholicious – not being a fan of Angelina Jolie does not exempt one from Brangelunatic status. Dude, you are OBSESSED. O_o
As for this woman – yeah, wow. boomchakaboom – 100% agree on the holier-than-thou. Every time I try to write a comment I end up ranting & have to delete half of it LOL So I’ll just say yeah, ditto boomchakaboom LOL
I’m so in shock that any licensed physician would be able to legally implant EIGHT embrios into any uterus! They CAN freeze the extras yano! How could she pass the psychological test pre in vetro? It’s obvious she is a mental Brangaloonie by her altered appearance….her nose job is Jolie dead on! Must have had the same plastic surgeon Angie did….so sad….California’s better work all the time they can to afford State Welfare payments to this nut job. BTW, how much a month is $800 per child per month times 14 kids? Move if you live in California, before other Brangaloonies come up with the same idea.
@Amy – Damn. Pete Burns. Nail on the head!
I KNEW she reminded me of someone else, particularly the bottom half of her face and those skewed cheek fillers. Yikes!?
I kinda think she’s got a bit of an Amy Fisher (the whack job who tried to off her pig boyfriends wife) thing going on. Mentally, they’re on the same level.Selfish & f’d up.
@Diva, LOL, you better duck! I can hit a moving target with my slipper from 50 yards!
I see the analogy of her looks, not her actions.
I didn’t watch the video, and I don’t plan to, but I would like for the interviewer to state and get a reaction to the fact that this woman’s mother said that she will no longer help out and her father is returning to another to work. How can one person possibly take care of 14 children, 1 with special needs and 8 infants? It’s not humanly possible even with unlimited food/water supplies. When she is sitting in her home alone with her 14 kids, what will she do!?!
I hope that the local social service agency sets up an office right outside her door.
I fear for the safety/well-being of these children. Once the media fascination dies down in about a month (and it will, with her obvious mental instability, there will be no long-lasting TV shows). What will be the fate of these children? She has the perfect combination of narcissism/entitlement to create a great tragedy.
back in the day people had many many children and most of them were poor… in fact, in most countries, large households are common and have accomodations no better than a shack… this wouldn’t be completely umcommon in a different era or a different country…
It is obvious that Child Protection is going to have to intervene at some point in the near future. Those poor children…all 14 of them. Speechless.
I would like to see photos of her as a child and before the face transplant.
I was uncomfortable watching her – she may have some personality disorder like narcissism. Now I just feel sorry for her progeny. For a cautionary tale, read the Wikipedia entry on the Dionne quintuplets. Think how these 14 are going to grow up. *cringe*
I can’t believe she says “I’m not on welfare” like taking taxpayer money in the form of disability is oky-doky. Let’s be real, the more lil bastards (I say that lovingly as my own are as well) she has, the bigger the free paycheck becomes. Obviously all that money has been SO well spent. /rolls eyes.
This lunatic makes me want to strangle something. I’ve made stupid choices, but I’ve done everything I can to give my children a stable home with parents that spend time and effort on them.
Christina – the difference here is she has EIGHT that are the SAME AGE. My paternal grandmother had 15 (17 really but the twins died) and my maternal grandmother had 10 (and this was in the 1940’s) BUT there were all different ages. Can you imagine 8 howling newborns? Feedings? Changing them? Potty traning them? Teaching them to walk??? But I’m SURE this woman will have A LOT of handouts. She WILL NOT have to do it alone.
But her body is a mess now. Her stomach with it’s empty baby sack of loose skin must be hanging almost to her knees by now. She can use some of her money to get a tummy tuck.
Damn Darya. I literally snorted when I read that. She probably has an ocean of skin down there.
She is a sick, sick woman. Her interview creeped me out. Something about her is “off” and I don’t know what it is. Narcissism? Entitlement? Freakishly large lips and a nose that looks like it was cut and pasted on?
And Angelina-defenders, quit frothing at the mouth. People were merely comparing the two because this woman is clearly trying to look like Angelina and has a bunch of kids.
Amy: Pete Burns — lol! So true.
What the hell does this mean: O_o
Jennifer: I’m obsessed?? That’s like calling out a grain of sand on a beach…
This poor woman is delusional. She thinks the only reason there is a backlash against her is because she chose to be a single mother. Are you kidding me. Her, the sperm donor daddy and the Doctor are all insane.
Ocutupussy is a wacko. I think the sperm donor, or friend should have to help foot the bill for his children.
Who has children to feel an empty hole of loneliness from being an only child. She is selfish and thinks of only herself. Her parents seem to of given her everything. How many parents would give their grown daughter a home and watch her kids while she is in school. It seems she has gotten a lot of plastic surgery. How does a women with a 6 children an no job afford plastic surgery, and in vitro fertilization? This whole story is a tragedy. Just because you have a uterus does not mean you should over populate the world with your overspings, so you can fill a void of loneliness from being an only child.
Get a life lady. She is just greedy and is trying to profit from her children. She is a wacko. Octupussy with the magic uterus
What I’m confused about is how she had 8 babies if she was only implanted with 6?! Are some of them twins?
And in conclusion, I say what they said to the Duggar mother: Your va-jay-jay is not a clown car…

She really does resemble Angelina. Maybe Angie’s gone incognito to gather more children
You know “our” (well not “your’) Sainted AJ… always plotting plotting plotting *wink*
Celebitchy:
February 6th, 2009 at 5:25 pm
Her lips look freaking painful to me, they’re all distorted and twisted. I wonder if her fertility doctor also does cosmetic surgery procedures.
He obviously specialises in those 8-for-the-price-of-6 deals.
Priceless! THIS woman wants a career in counseling?!
I am so glad for all the comments with regard to Angelina Jolie. As soon as I saw this I thought, this woman is obviously obessesed with Anjelina Jolie and wants to emulate her. If Ann Curry is skilled in her profession she will broach that issue in her full interview, and if she doesn’t figure some way of doing that then Ann Curry is talentless in her job as far as I’m concerned. I would love to see this woman’s surgically treated face when confronted with that observation….”You know the resmblence between you and Angelina Jolie, physically and concerning both of your “passions”, is absolutely astonishing!”
This woman is mentally unstable and needs help.
Oh, and Celebitchy, on the surface what she was saying seemed CRAZY. Not “ok”.
What makes me mad about this is she’s planning on supporting them “after a Masters in counseling.” I’m finishing that same degree and it does NOT pay enough to support fourteen children that young on one income. Beginning counselors are not paid well at all and there’s just no way she can afford the kids OR someone to care for them while she’s busting her rear end working long hours with insufficient pay. She needs her own psychiatric evaluation.
Total Look A Like she’s even the same age as Angelina. I wonder if they share the same birthday. Hey with Hollywood and that freaky family you never know they might be twins. Next we will hear that they are long lost sisters and moving in together to raise all these children 2gether. LOL
First of all, you all need quit with the Angelina stuff because it is not even relative besides the possible hair etc.
Secondly, this lady is a immature freak…plain and simple. Someone please call CPS.
Mairead: I know! And it’s my job to sniff these plots out and expose them before it’s too late. *wink*
Ironic isn’t it, jolie rescues childen in need and provides them with a better life… This wannabe nutbag uses artificial means to create children who will ulimately be in need of a better life!
The doctor who did this should be prosecuted. The doctor who did her lip blip should be fired. Does she have any front teeth or are those currently being worked on and implanted?
Obviously someone has given her some money already for a story…she looks like an Angelina Jolie guppy.
Christine, remember that the standard quality of life in the olden days was much different than at present, as was the cost of living. Also, in the olden days, there was normally (read: always) one parent who worked and one who took care of the children.
Some of her children must of school age, right?
This woman looks nothing like Angie roflmao. She has had plastic surgery and AJ hasnt and this woman definately is not playing with a full 6 pack.
Judy: The idea is that this woman has had plastic surgery to look like Angelina Jolie. Including her nose. Not that Angelina Jolie has had plastic surgery.
Sometimes I wonder about the general public…
Fertility doc under investigation in CA
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090206/ap_on_re_us/octuplets
how did she pay for invitro on disability? and plastic surgery too? well i mean living at home one doesnt have normal bills like utilities, rent and food…mommies and daddies guys…plus… she’s getting those cheques…sheesh, I am trying really hard not to judge.
Ahem. What disability, pray tell, earned this woman her disability check? Is she on SSI or disability from a private company. Perhaps it was a mental disability?????
I have no doubt, she’s inspired by Angelina eventhough she already had six children she wanted to have more(but this is HER RIGHT, she LOVES KIDS & it’s normal in some countries to have a lot of kids so i think we should BACK OFF) because Brangelina always said they’re going to have at least 14, her dark long hair, wearing dark clothes, the surgries to look like her(eventhough i think she had some resemblens to Angelina to begin with) obviously she is not in it for the money she likes Angelina & wants to be like Her, a lot of tabloids offered her money for an interview(even Opera) but she did it with Anne Curry for free because she’s Brangelina’s favorite Anchorwoman , she’s trying to do exacly what Angelina does, MOST Middle Eastern ladies love Angelina so much & try to imitate her obviously she is one of them, nothing wrong with that & seeing her interview i can see she’s a capable & lovely woman.
btw this is Angelina Jolie in her trip to IRAQ couple of years ago:
http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20053538,00.html
Parasite.
I’m confused …Did she choose to have the 7/8 children or did it just turn out that way because of the in vitro fertilization?? Didn’t she only want one more?
Oh my god her bottom lip is so big she can hardly close her mouth. Its nice to know this smug bitch can afford lip injections and nose jobs even though her poor parents filed for bankruptcy after looking after her brood. She’s clearly using her children as her ticket to fame judging by her insane buying price and her plastic surgery.
I truely feel for those kids.
Idiocracy is not a movie…its a prophecy fullfilling itself.
Where was it confirmed that she had plastic surgery? Also since were comparing her to Angelina, lets talk about Angelina’s open narcissistic behaviors, making out with her brother her, blood and cutting fetishes her drug use and depression, suicide attempts and then the collection of kids. Angelina Jolie was and still is a nut case. Has she done well for third world countries, instead of taking their babies she should be building them homes to house a whole family. What has she done for America? She not only named her first biological daughter after a dog but she also called her a blob. I ‘m not hating on either one of these ladies but the world has enough children that are either to poor to eat, neglected, mentally ill or rich snobby a-holes that do drugs. That’s Hollywood. Ironically, both women were born in California.
Okay, I had to comment on what you guys are saying. I know a lot of women that look like her and haven’t had any work done. I’m mostly referring to the lips you guys love to insult. The women I know that look like her are half or part African American and naturally have full lips. I’m not saying that this is the case with this woman, but I’m saying it does happen. I really think it is jealously since lip injections are so popular nowadays. Get around and travel to see that people are born with all different kinds of looks and features. Saying that it is “obvious” is a bit of a stretch. Just because you are born with non-existent lips doesn’t mean everyone is!
P.S. My defense of this women stops at the criticism of her looks!
@Dominique – objectivity please, it’s the completely wonky way her face moves when it’s in motion, not the size of her lips that people are commenting on. Can you not see?? Her face – her mouth, her cheeks – is all over the place!
The criticisms are nothing to do with natural features. There’s nothing natural here.
Yep, geronimo is right: we’re mainly stunned by how unnatural this story is getting day by day. Six kids under the age of seven (right?), then octuplet babies, all in vitro treatment as a single mom, the grandmother seeming anything but happy with the arrival of the extra set of eight and now a very odd structured face that seems to be made out of different faces (a bit à la Ugly Betty intro theme)…
As for Angelina Jolie: I must admit that when I hit the ‘play’ button of the video, her looks reminded me of the actress! It’s not the multiple kids thing (I tend to think the Brangelina clan seems to be a healthy and good family with not too many kids) but the way Suleman seems to have tried to look like her (the nose job, the obvious fake big lips, the dark hair and the way it’s styled)… I could be wrong but I thought it was obvious she was going for the AJ look.
Now what I have more problems with is her judging the other parents’ abilities but she has six small children at home and another eight in the hospital. Yet she finds the time for an interview? I’m speechless. I’ve seen parents (and there were two of them in most cases) being overwhelmed after the birth of only one child: you have to take care of a little baby who needs as much human touch and attention as possible, you need to get your house tidy and running as smoothly as possible. There is literally no time for anything besides trying to get into a new pattern and schedule after the arrival of a child. Especially when you have a multiple birth!
I don’t see how she could be spending time with each child as she claims in the video (and I’m bitter about that particular fact as she just mentioned during that interview that other parents don’t even do that, trying to sound superior to the rest: I’m not liking that tone, Miss) right now and still manage to get an interview done. Even if it were only five minutes. It’s not possible. Eight babies and six growing kids would make anyone -even with several helps- crave for a nap or just a coffee break…
I think she’s seriously mentally ill. Child services need to intervene as soon as possible. I mean her Franken-face alone qualifies for emotional abuse!
Bellatrix – that’s what I was trying to work out in my head. How the hell is this bitch pursuing a Masters in Psychology and not understand the concept of “me” time?! Personal space and creative freedom are basic emotional necessities, and having 14 young children is not conducive to mental stability. She should have learned this 15 years ago in psych 101!
Of course, her actions betray all of her big talk. It’s all too obvious now that she’s in it for the “me” time. She’s running around demanding interviews and tv specials, and planning to go to school with 8 newborns at home? Bitch was never interested in being a mom, bitch was just interested in a meal ticket.
So. F*cking. Transparent.
Dominique: I’m black. I have big, full, luscious, natural lips. That woman has lip injections.
She’s nuts, clearly. It irks me to no end that taxpayer money will be supporting her 14 kids.
I’m disappointed that doctors decided to give her this treatment as it is clear she is mentally unbalanced. And my (ex)spouse is in healthcare.
I would think that NBC has paid BIG bucks for the first interview with this nut job. And hopefully the money goes to the hospital and Dr.s that helped bringing them safely in the world. As many of you have said, “we need to pray for all 14 of these children.” As for the money that she receive from a settlement for a on the job she had at a Mental hospital. Looks to have been wasted on plastic surgery. I hope that after all is said and done. All these children are taken from her and given to “sane” loving parents.
@anon, you clearly misunderstood my comment. AJ is one of my favorite actresses.
MSNBC is already commenting on the AJ resemblance.
Nadya Suleman Is Angelina Jolie
“Anyway, we can’t help but wonder if Suleman has a “Single White Female” thing going on with Jolie, since not only does she seem to want to look like her, she also seems to want to be a baby tree like her, too.”

“Ahem. What disability, pray tell, earned this woman her disability check?”
She’s constantly squirting out young’uns. It’s distracting at the office, so she had to quit.
“Get that, will you Deirdre?”
I see her going to jail.
wait until all the dust settles and the real story is out. there has to be a lot of fraudulent actions by her. Also, NBC i am sure paid her for the interview, and the interview sucked.
there are matters like fraud, ethics, etc, that CPS could get involved with and hopefully find the kids suitable adoptive parents, because she is an unfit mother.
Under the tradidtional circumstances of a comitted marriage, a big family is just fine. With Suleman (from Iraq) she would have to be a stay at mom to say the least, and there is no way possible that she could go to school or work outside of the home with 14 children to raise…. what she did is wrong on so many levels….and the plastic surgery on top of it, while the mother of six living on what i would assume is a tight budget, is very selfish and dumb. I just think that when the truth comes out, she will be going to jail for fraud….or endangerment of children for her inability to take care of so many on her own. she is mentally unstable, and if her childhood was so dysfunctional, why is she still living with her parents?
i just have this feeling that she is going to end up in jail…for what exact reasons i dont know, but mark my words.
i read on newsvine, someone commented that she has been receiving $800 a month for each of the children. the award of over 100 grand was from an accident that occured when she was working in a psychiatric hospital which severely injured her back…..
people are asking, wouldn’t pregnancy have a big effect on a bad back?
I hope no reality show picks her up. people are so disgusted that they have been saying that they will boycott any show, and their sponsors who do so.
wouldn’t it be creepy if the sperm donor is the same fertility doctor that gave her the ivf treatments several times? it’s happened before.
yeah, try holding eight babies all at once feeding and changing their diapers while paying attention to the needs of the young six children…ask any mother and they say it would be impossible.
daisy424: LOL I was generalizing after I quoted you. I sort of got that you are a fan. I was agreeing with you LOL I thought you were right there is no comparison. This thread is a gift that keeps on giving!
LMAO @ “Get that, will you Deirdre?”
It’s medical experiments for the lot of you.
Actually, that’s already been done, I guess.
How does an unemplyed woman have the money- not only to have a nose job and lip injections, but also to go through fertility treatments.
They are so expensive.
Who was paying her bills and who come her doctor is not under investigation?
Medicine shoule be practiced with ethics or not practiced at all.
She did it for the attention, but also for the money.
That’s her claim for fame and attention.
I would not be surprised if she has some other ploys to get government and public money, and the authorities should investigate.
I think she is one sick con artist.
She just lied to the camera and claimed that her doctor only inplaned 6 (not 8!), so how the hell did she give birth to octuplets?!
Everybody has been talking about her resemblance to angelina.
They both had nose jobs and lip injections, and they both go to the extremes to get attention, and use children to get attention or more money, so yes, I can see why people compare the two.
Hey OCTOMOM–It’s a uterus, not a clown car! With thanks to Dennis Miller.
*High-five’s Diva.* 😀
She should do a photoshoot with her babies for Hello and OK Magazine
Ev-ery sperm is saaaaaacred, ev-ery sperm is gooood;
ev-ery sperm is neeeeeeded, in your neighbourhooooood….
um…at what point will child protective services finally intervene? and…if she is “disabled” how in the hell was she “able” to have that litter? someone from the social security administration should look into this because it looks like a big fat case of welfare fraud.
I immediately thought this woman was trying to be Angelina Jolie. Clearly, someone once told her that she kind of resembled AJ and she took her idolatry of her to the extreme. The lips, nose and hair are one thing, but to have such an insane number of children??? She needs help.
Nice Mairead! I needed some Python for a chuckle – this woman’s unique combination of arrogance and stupidity was depressing the hell out of me.
Quick Somebody give birth to 9 babies so we can put her on the has been list and ruin her plans to become a famous moron!
Oliver: In regards to your request, I’d like to remove my uterus from the list of potential carriers. Thanks. 🙂
“Suleman plans to go back to college in the fall, where she is working on her masters degree in counseling and hopes to take advantage of the college daycare center…”
Take advantage, huh? Sounds like she’s doing a lot of that these days.
Angelina is not the only one getting lip injections and 3 nose jobs.
Here’s another unstable women getting money and attention by having children.
These women need to be stopped. I feel so sorry for their children.
WOW!!!! This is so bad. I mean we are funding this woman who just doesn’t know when to stop. I guarantee she is not done having kids. It is funny how she tries to make herself seem like the Greatest mom ever by saying Alot of parents can’t be there for there children and it’s sefish. I mean how the hell does she think that she can be there for fourteen kids whom aren’t even at the age yet to help themselves. No father figure and u think that it’s fair and unselfish. PUhlease, she mental. I know so many single parents men and women who struggle with just two kids. Parenting is a hard job good parenting at that. Those poor kids are more than likely to grow up and resent her for this. That’s what it is about the poor kids. Psychotic Mommy dearest is what she is.
OK, she’s got 14 kids, though she meant to have just 7. She’s single.
Well, bad doctor I’d say. Now, get a hysterectomy, stay at home and try to take care of the bunch.
But what ? She’s going to college ???? Hey, she’s given birth to 14 kids, now it’s really time to make time for her own education ?
You’re not the priority anymore, Stupid. Child Protective Service, help !
When she doesn’t get a show and the interviews and fanfare are over… then what? Those poor children and what a mean position to put your parents in. She obviously spent money on plastic surgery (duh!). They went on about how she saved all her money for her babies as I look at her acrylic nails and injected lips – please!! I really hope that Child Services checks in on her. She should let people adopt her babies so they can have a good life with lots of love 24-7. It seems too much like a publicity stunt. This girl should not be a counsellor – she needs some serious help and a boot in the butt out on the street to wake her up to reality. She has been pampered and catered to for a long time, it seems. sigh!!
This bitch said, at one point, that she KNOWS that she will be able to afford these kids once she finishes school? What is she majoring in? I would like to know what field, other than HUGE MOVIE STAR,….that you can go into that pays enough to afford to raise 14 f*cking kids by YOURSELF. Anyways,…at one point, she said “I am giving MYSELF to my kids,…I will stop my life for my kids” Stop your life?? Thats funny,…cuz 2 minutes later, she announces that she is going back to school in a month to go for her Masters Degree. Is that stopping your life? Uh,..no,…thats actually called “having to free-time”….at all..for your kids. Oh,…maybe she meant that she will ‘stop her life’ AFTER she finishes school. But that would mean you got your Masters, for nothing. So,…its obvious that statement meant nothing to her. It was just something she said for the camera, only. Furthermore,….the bitch has 14 damn kids…and shes single…..where in the hell is she getting money for collagen implants??? Maybe the fat bitch should invest in a treadmill instead of being a Brat-factory. She actually ‘brags’ about holding them each for 45 minutes a day. Like she is the ONLY parent that would do that. They’re your kids you bat-sh*t crazy selfish b*tch. Who ELSE is going to do that? Its not enough that we are PAYING for these brats,…now WE have to hold them too? All I can say is,…if you have this pyscho over for Thanksgiving,..keep your turkey baster away from this beeyatch.
You can tell by the way she explains her “plans” that she is narcissistic and delusional. The smug half-smirk as she says “I never planned to be unconventional” tells the entire story. Yikes. This woman scares the sh*t out of me.
she is mentally ill. This is a tragedy. Those poor children. Hopefully the law(have her committed) will intervene. And that “doctor”…… those poor innocent babies and children…..something must be done!!!!!!!!!!!
She should get together with MICKEY ROURKE(the Wrestler)!!!! SHE LOOKS MORE LIKE MICKEY ROURKE THAN SHE DOES ANGELINA JOLE!!!!!!! QUIT COMPARING HER TO A.J!!! OR BETTER YET THAT CAT WOMAN FROM NY!!! GROSSSSSSSSSSSSS! TAKE THOSE BABIES AWAY!!!!!!(i’ll take one!!!)
Disgusting.
She needs to stop popping out welfare babies to pay for her plastic surgery.
All I have to say is she is stupid and I am so glad that I am not a CA resident because the taxpayers are getting IOUs for state taxes, their money may be going to this nut job. She can say she is not on welfare all day long but food stamps are paid from tax payer dollars. The only reason she will not sign up for welfare is because they will put the dumb sperm donor on child support. They both need to be put under the jailhouse with the money hungry doctor who performed the procedure. I have one question, did they spay or neuter that darn animal?
This woman is actually discusting she actually put up a website asking for donations. fuck her!! She is trying to get rich off the expense of her children. My husband is disabled and the state cant afford to pay him any disability but this bitch can sit on welfare and suck up taxpayers hard earned cash, while the rest of us suffer.
This womann is the reason that the state of ca is broke. She can recieve free benefits and yet afford to get plastic surgery and in vitro. I think that the state should sue her for fraud and get back all the money that has been wasted on this nut job, as far as her getting paid for an interview i wouldnt watch it. SHE DOES NOT DESERVE ANYTHING FOR FREE!!!
Oh and living off of student loans, come on lady! They are for school not for your personal use. Bet she wont even pay those back.
Any company or TV network that helps her I think should be boycotted. She brought this on herself let her figure it out herself. She knew what she was getting into, its called life. Deal with it bitch.
