Octomom files for bankruptcy, signs on for solo adult video (update)

Nadya Suleman Octomom
Update: A lot of you have mentioned that it seems unlikely that Suleman could file for bankruptcy twice in such a short time period. I was mistaken. It was Suleman’s mother Angela who filed for bankruptcy in March, 2008.


Among all the stories about Octomom Nadya Suleman filing for bankruptcy this week, I haven’t seen one that mentions that this is not her first bankruptcy (update: this is not accurate, her parents previously filed for bankruptcy). She Nadya’s mother Angela filed for bankruptcy in March, 2008 just before her daughter underwent the IVF cycle that resulted in her octuplets. Nadya’s mother Angela had two homes in succession which went into foreclosure. Nadya was also on food stamps and received disability payments for three out of six of her older children, but claimed she wasn’t on “welfare” and called her use of government assistance “temporary.” Are we seeing a pattern here?

In a statement issued by her manager, Suleman explained her decision to file for bankruptcy. “I have had to make some very difficult decisions this year, and filing Chapter 7 was one of them. But I have to do what is best for my children, and I need a fresh start.”

So Suleman declared bankruptcy, and I can only assume that she’s trying to make sure she can continue to live in the home she’s never paid rent on. It was due to be auctioned off this week, but the bank has postponed the auction until May 7.

TMZ reports that Suleman has reneged on her pledge never to do p0rn. She is going to make an adult video, uh, alone. You know that money isn’t going to go toward rent, food for her children or any of the people and organizations she owes money to, since she’s bankrupt, which means she doesn’t have to attempt to pay anyone back. The timing is very suspect here. Suleman defended her decision on HLN, saying “If it’s a job, and it’s a well-paying job, and it’s gonna allow me to get out of here and move [my kids] into a very safe, huge home that they deserve … I’m gonna do it.”

Remember when Suze Ormon called Octo a liar and a baby addict? Suze started counseling Octo on her money in late 2010, so she’s had over a year and a half to get her finances in order. Of course she didn’t stop squandering her money on trips to the plastic surgeon and nail salon. Nor has she canceled her gym membership. She admitted in a recent interview that she receives 4-5k a month in government assistance.

    This whole thing is just a disaster. I’d like to say I wish she’d go away and we’d never hear from her again, but what’s going to happen to all those kids?! Like 11 of them- she had 2 or 3 before she had the litter.

    She’s crazy. Literally crazy and she’s not going to spend any of that pron money on her kids- she’s going to do more insane procedures to try and look like Angelina Jolie! You never hear anything about her mom anymore, she bled her dry too. Even though foster care is iffy, they need to get those kids away from her- they might start having “accidents” if they stay with her.

    • brin says:

      Completely agree…she’s not a fit parent, get the kids away from her.

      • Charity says:

        There are a lot more kids being raised on our dime than her 14. Her 14 are loved, clean, healthy. Your dimes support crack dealers and illegals, prostitutes and thugs. That’s better? I don’t agree with her IVF but the kids are here now… And she is raising them well.

      • JaneMarsee says:

        This is in reply to Charity. If you have to compare Fraudya Suleman to crackpots and crack addicts in order to attempt to make her look like a good mother, maybe you need to just stop trying!

    • Jen says:

      There are 14 – FOURTEEN – children. All being raised on our dime. Fantastic.

    • JudyK says:

      She’s insane…those kids need to be taken away from her NOW.

      I think Nadya should be institutionalized. So sick of people ripping off the government so they can just stay home and do nothing.

      And before you jump on me, I am NOT talking about people who actually deserve government assistance. Nadya had this planned from the beginning, and it should be AGAINST THE LAW.

  2. Lucy says:

    What a disgusting creature…and if she’s bankrupt how does she have money to pay for a manager??? Why isn’t she being arrested for welfare fraud?

    • gg says:

      Because managers generally just get a percentage of the work they find for their client.

  3. DoMaJoReMc says:

    THERE..ARE..NO..WORDS..!

    • Maguita says:

      Actually, I’d like to share a few:

      – For a narcissistic, self-serving, unreliable, despicable waste of a “human” being, Nadya Suleman would be for the first time of her life, actually DOING SOME WORK to earn money.

      – The p0rn industry feeds on megalomaniacs who refuse to work for minimum or even average wage, and would prefer to get used on camera just so they can make more than minimum wage. Well OBVIOUSLY, they are worth more, but we don’t see it, and they CHOOSE not to work that hard for it.

      Let us face it, if she had any good morals, any ethics or motherly instinct, she would be working the McDonald’s line while getting some sort of subsidiaries from the government to help feed her children. The government should right away put a hold on whatever wages she makes, and makes sure that money goes to her children first. Is there such a way in the US?

      P0rno Valley is exactly where she belongs. But what she doesn’t understand, is that she had taken the first step into hard-core p0rn0graphy. Anyone seen “9 to 5 in P0rno Valley” understands what I am talking about. No glamour, no stardom, just plain abuse that you would fall into a hellish vicious circle of addiction to whatever “fame” they would make you believe in, and make you do the lowest of the lowest for it.

      Until your ego is just a sad-faraway memory.

      • Hm says:

        I agree that Suleyman has real problems, but I think your judgment of everyone who enters porn as an egomaniac who thinks s/he’s way too good for minimum wage is not only cruel but dead wrong. People make all kinds of choices for all kinds of reasons, and few people fuck on camera because they think they’re kings and queens of the world.

        This is a very sick woman. It’s awful beyond description that these very vulnerable children rely on her.

      • The Bobster says:

        I agree. Nowadays it’s a short trip from solo to gonzo to A2M to bestiality.

      • Maguita says:

        Hm, I used to think the same way you do. Then I learned differently. There are a lot more egos at play in this industry than we first thought, the only difference is, and I have stated it at the end, you may start for a quick buck and a shot at fame, or infamy, in front of the camera, but you end up in most cases worst than a $10 hooker and heroin addict. And it really is sad. That industry is so frigging cruel. Look it up, NOTHING liberated about these women in 2012. That industry will not allow it.

        And we’re not talking about being forced into prostitution. We are not talking about stripping for money. We are talking about f-cking strangers while staring at the camera.

        Of course, not everyone is in it for the fame, but most of them got into it because your first time in the industry pays much higher than your first THREE months working at McDonald’s.

        And that is my point. That this POS chose p0rn over an average job, because not only it pays better, it is in front of the camera, but it also attracts media attention; Which anyone can see, she has been working quite hard for the past 4 years at doing.

  4. birdie says:

    Poor children. They don’t have a father, they will never know him. They don’t have a real family, only cameras shoved in their faces since they were born. They will never experience alone time with their mother or get the individual care they need. Now their selfish mother wants to do a masturbation video? Please.. just take those innocent toddlers out of this horrible situation or they will be sooo messed up.

  5. Cathy says:

    Whatever, the woman is useless. She needs to just go away.

    • alex says:

      She’ll never really go away she’s like a herpes virus.
      And even if she does with 14 kids some of them are bound to be messed up its just a matter of time before we see the kids in the tabloids “MY LIFE WITH OCTOMOM”,
      I’m sure 1 will write a tell all book etc and it’ll be started all over again.

  6. NerdMomma says:

    I think the best thing that could happen is she could be put under a conservatorship appointed by the state- someone to handle her finances, someone to tell her no, she cannot go to the plastic surgeon- someone to watch over her and the kids in general. And it can’t be her parents or anyone emotionally involved. It would be the easiest and cheapest solution, since she’s obviously not capable of being responsible and no one in her family is stepping in to slap any sense into her.

    • Lee says:

      This makes a lot of sense. Can the state do this without having to have her hospitalized first to establish mental incompetency?

      • gg says:

        No way. If they did this with her, they’d have to start playing conservator for everybody and their duck. It has to be proven that she is completely whack before somebody will step in, and that is very very difficult in any state, especially where the family wants nothing to do with her. Remember how long it took even for Britney, who has a family that loves her, to be declared incompetent, even after all her shenanigans?

        But in my opinion, it does make great sense. There needs to be accountants monitoring people who get huge amounts of assistance to make sure the money actually goes into assisting, instead of indulging.

      • leelee says:

        shaving one’s head and beating a car up with an umbrella like britney did PALES in comparison to the destructive,EVIL choices Octotwat has made all on the altar of narcissism. If Britney could be legally compelled into a conservatorship situation, Nutty Nadya should have been forced into one like yesterday. Her choices are becoming increasingly worse and more damaging to her kids, who have to face life as the spawn of a universally despised, incompetent, malignantly selfish, lying adult vid whore. Somebody needs to save them before it’s too late.

    • dorothy says:

      I agree totally. It looks like the state could do so in the interest of the children.

    • lucy2 says:

      I think this is an excellent idea – and given that she’s being supported by the state, she shouldn’t be able to refuse it. No conservator, no welfare checks.

      I also agree with those saying she should be investigated for fraud.

  7. Blue says:

    I’m still trying to figure out how this woman hasn’t been arrested for fraud. She has been working the system for years and they haven’t found a way to arrest her. Smh. There should be a time limit on filing bankruptcy. 2 bankruptcies in 4 yrs? That is ridiculous!

  8. fabgrrl says:

    Is she being offered a contract to do pr0n? or did she just cook up this scheme on her own? Because I didn’t see any mention of an adult entertainment organization offering her money (any longer). Lord! Her one shot, as degrading as it is, to make a lot of easy money for her family (pr0n) and she can’t even do that right!

    • gg says:

      Her best bet moneywise would be to just stream it on the internet. It’s disgusting, but if she wants to do it, I’m sure some sickos will pay to see it, and she doesn’t have to go through a million other hoops with their hands out.

  9. Kate says:

    What bothers me the most is that THREE of her older children are disabled enough to get government assistance and yet she chose to get pregnant again. Eight more babies or one more baby, it just boggles my mind that she made the active decision to get pregnant again knowing that, genetically, her offspring is predisposed to autism spectrum disorders. These kids demand every ounce of your time and attention. The fact that she wanted even one more newborn screams that she is out of touch with the suffering of her children. Raising ONE kid with special needs is hard, let alone doing it by yourself. She had three already and wanted to get pregnant again, even though the new baby might have the same difficulties her older three developmentally disabled children had. That is so unfair to those children. And now she has eight more. I really wonder how many of the eight will have developmental problems. As sad as it would be, the smaller eight should have been split into 4 groups and adopted out. It would have been terrible, of course, but they would have had love, attention, and peace.

    • Marjalane says:

      SHE IS CRAZY, that’s why she had eight more. I’m beginning to think that the standards for “normal” are so low in California, that she passes for an adequate mother. This is not a woman who should be responsible for a childs welfare.

      I don’t know why this Gawdawful woman has me so fired up this morning.

      • fabgrrl says:

        Okay, that is just uncalled for. Parents in California are no better and no worse than parents anywhere else. Do you ever actually wonder why all this “crazy stuff” happens in California? Because it is the most populous state in the Union! If 12% of the US population lives there, that means 12% of the crazy people live there.

      • tifygodess24 says:

        @Marjalane I agree with you , it seems California is lax on a lot of things/laws etc, not just horrible parents. I don’t find this offensive at all because we have seen so many horrible things played out in that State and thats proof enough.

    • ZenB!tch says:

      Funny, everything I see that is truly horrible is in the trailers of Florida.

  10. Dani says:

    I do hope she will provide a better place for her kids to live. But….you still have to maintain the home and pay taxes on it. I doubt this is going to happen based on her past behavior.

    I can hardly take this woman in interviews becasue I feel like she is a pathological liar. Dr. Drew has been giving her a platform for her lies as of late. What disgusts me the most is that she is espousing that because she is so hated, she has no choice but to do porn, therefore it is all our fault. I see what you did there Nadya.

    • leelee says:

      sociopathic narcissists like nadya never take responsibility for anything negative; she translates the world’s hatred of her as jealousy, she is so enamored of herself she truly believes we covet and envy everything she is or has, if those kids remain with her the potential for one or more of them to become violent offenders or individuals with little hope of conforming to normal social standards is incredibly high

    • polk8dot says:

      @ ‘…she is espousing that because she is so hated, she has no choice but to do porn, therefore it is all our fault’

      I heard a part of her interview today and it made me gag. She claims she wants to FINALLY GET A HUGE HOUSE for her kids, which they DESERVE – while she already lives in a truly big house with huge yard. Just because you do not take care of your home, nor fix holes in walls, nor put decorations around (paying for hair appts instead) – it just means you are a LAZY piece of s#it ASSHOLE. Even if you moved, by some miracle, to a bigger house, it would look and feel like a pig stye very quickly. It’s just you, Nadia, you cow.
      And then she said that ‘she HAS THOUSANDS FANTASTIC IDEAS HOW TO MAKE MONEY!!! BUT EVERYBODY HATES HER SO nobody will give her money to make the money with’. Bwahahaha!!! You know, I have thousands of ideas too, but just because I think they would be good for MY SELFPROMOTION does not mean they’d bring in any income or return on investment.
      And last time I checked – if you want to have something, like a nicer house or a better car or a hair appt, you WORK FOR IT!!!
      Fuc#ing entitled cow! Just because she wanted to be FAMOUS for having octoplets, we now have to raise all your brood, you POS? Do you even have an understanding of the horrible KARMA that is coming right back at you for all the shi! you put these kids thru?

  11. logan says:

    To me this seems like a very sad situation. First and for most are the safety and welfare of all these children. She is not a fit mother. She can’t support them. For her to say she is going to support them by doing porn is beyond contempt. There are so many sick porn sites that will welcome her. If you have ever heard this woman talk (rant) you know that she has a very distrubing mental problem. She truly sounds like a child herself. Someone needs to step in and SAVE THOSE KIDS. My mother-inlaw raised 13 children almost by herself. She was a level headed, funny, hard working individual. She worked at a shoe factory and lived on a small farm. Fed her kids mostly from the farm. All grew up to be law abiding citizens, hard workers and very loving adults. I don’t see that happening here. This woman is mentally not capable of raising these children. Calling Dr. Drew

    • gg says:

      Suze Oermann herself told her not to turn down ANY job offers that would get her money. Octo said “ew, not pron” and Suze said WHATEVER you are offered. Octo said, “but I don’t want people to think badly of me” and Suze said, “at this point, after all you’ve done and lied about, WHO CARES what THEY THINK”. So now she’s doing this.

  12. Deedee says:

    Yes, getting your hair done for $500 is what’s right for your children. She makes me sick! I’d feel sorry for her if I thought those kids were really her priority.

    • Laurie M. says:

      And today Radar has proof of $500 a month gym membership too!

      • ZenB!tch says:

        That’s a $40/month gym membership. I have the same one… unless she signed up for VIP. I don’t know what that costs. I don’t need a fancy locker room.

    • Maguita says:

      Don’t forget her Direct TV. She NEEDS her Direct TV!

      Abusive little shit.

      • ZenB!tch says:

        I bet she has multiple TVs with a $10 box on each one.

      • Sugar says:

        I’m single & lucky to have a good job but in this past economy I had to let my gym membership & cable go-& the only reason I get decent cuts & highlights is my daughter is a hair stylist.
        I get such a sick knot in my stomach when I thing about what that women is now willing to do to give herself not her children the life she thinks she deserves.

  13. ladybert62 says:

    I thought there was a limit on the number of bankruptcies and the timefrae for them – this is her second in 4 years. I wonder if the judge can refuse to do it?

    • Celebitchy says:

      I was wrong – it was her mother who filed for bankruptcy before. Some of the reports back in 2009 said that the Suleman family had a history of bankruptcy. I had always assumed that both Nadya and her parents had filed for bankruptcy, but I was not able to verify that. It’s a complicated story.

      • gg says:

        Nadya clearly caused her parents’ bankruptcy – her mom has said so many times in interviews.

    • the original bellaluna says:

      Yes, judges have the authority to deny a bankruptcy. It’s not a “given” thing.

      And I highly doubt a BK judge is going to look highly on how she spends her assets, which they take into consideration.

  14. sarah says:

    Bankruptcy won’t help her stay in the house. The bankruptcy estate will take the house and sell it to pay creditors IF the bank doesn’t take it back. Either way, she won’t be able to live there long. Also, I’m surprised she is able to file bankruptcy so soon after filing before. The only way she could do that was if the last case was a Chapter 13 and this is a Chapter 7 and if it was a Chapter 13, she should STILL be in it as most Chapter 13’s are 5 years. If it was a Chapter 7 she filed in 2008 then she won’t be qualified to file another Chapter 7 for 3 more years. Doesn’t make sense.

  15. Lindy says:

    It’s hard for me to even read this sh!t right now, honestly. I found out yesterday that the dream job I had been offered last week and was getting ready to start disappeared because the company lost the funding for the new position.

    That was going to be the job that helped us pay off student loans, and more importantly, gave us the insurance and financial security to have a second child which we so desperately want but have not tried for b/c our jobs did not pay what we needed to save/provide for two kids.

    But I guess I’m doing it wrong, huh? I should walk away from our house and let it foreclose, get on welfare, declare bankruptcy and get knocked up ANYWAY!!

    Awesome plan, Octomom. Thanks for showing me the way! Ugh, seriously, I could cry right now.

    • Beclove says:

      I’m so sorry Lindy, that really stinks. Wishing you the best and thanks for the reminder that thoughtful, loving parents still exist.

      • Lindy says:

        Thanks, Beclove. I know something else will come along. It just makes me so sad for those kids of hers, who will never know what it’s like to have a parent who loves them unconditionally, wants them, wants to do her best for them… And meanwhile the rest of us who are trying hard to be responsible and do the best we can for our kids are wondering how it’s so easy for this crazy woman to ignore reality and behave the way she does.

        Anyhow, I appreciate your kind words.

    • ZenB!tch says:

      Aww! Lindy, I’m soooo sorry. I know how you feel. Last week I was offered an open ended temp assignment. I showed up and they had changed their mind and decided to merge the opening with another position.

      I posted about my financial situation below and yet, I manage to somehow make the payments – unlike Nadya. I have considered not paying my credit card bills but I CAN’T. I hate being honest. @#@#$ @$#@#

    • the original bellaluna says:

      I’m truly sorry, Lindy. I hope things get better. Things’ll work out.

  16. janie says:

    agggghhh this infuriates me. GET THOSE KIDS OUT OF THERE. she is unfit to be a mother of one, let alone fourteen, especially to children with ASD. i don’t give a f what happens to her, as long as those kids get to a safe place. they didn’t ask to be born into this life.

  17. Original Lucy says:

    I work full time…my husband works full time…I would love to have a gym membership. Can’t afford it right now…It makes me sick that this woman is getting all that money and has a gym membership. Doesn’t welfare check out people before they give them money?

    • ZenB!tch says:

      If you want a gym membership look around… I googled all over until I found one I could afford – BUT (BIG BUT) you can get the same results at home with DVDs or outdoors. I just am totally incapable of doing it without having to be somewhere – I go to the classes vs. getting on the eliptical and doing the weights.

      Unless you are as un-self motivated as I am, I would say a gym membership is an unnecessary expense. If you have cable (I used to) they also have workouts on Fit TV – again *I* am not motivated but one of my friends does that and looks great.

  18. MommaK18 says:

    I come to CB everyday and I’ve yet to post a comment…but as a mom to a toddler and expecting a second one I’m disgusted by this woman. First off, like a previous post mentioned…having this second child for us is a struggle and lots of work. Since the healthcare reform private insurance dropped maternity in Texas and we BOTH work (me and my husband) and pay health insurance but have to pay out of pocket for my medical csection. It’s a huge burden! Even though we are responsible hard working people we can’t get on medicaid or welfare because we both make too much for it. *However we are middle to lower class and my husband works two jobs at 90 to 100 hrs a week.

    Yet this woman…doesn’t pay on her house (we pay our mortgage monthly!) She can afford to get her hair done (I cut and color my own) she has a gym membership (ha we are saving every penny for our delivery) she gets 4 to 5k on food a month (we eat home every night) and she squanders everything away for herself and NOT her kids?

    I don’t care what people say, her children need a loving and fit mother. She could do so much more for these kids with ALL the help she gets. Free help!
    She made the decision to have them so I don’t feel sorry for her!

    There are so many more worthy people of help and assitance that make a better life for their kids then her. I hope someone gets those kids and takes care of them like they deserve. Otherwise they’ll grow up to reproduce and be like their mother!

    Ok my vent is done. Just as a mom, and a hardworking one that would love to have a large family but is stopping at two because we finacially want to be able to do everything we can for our family….and then to see someone like Nayda get all this assistance and not even try to help her kids makes me disgusted with our government and her.

    I’m all for helping others but this is abuse to the system.

    • jesstar says:

      I can’t agree with you enough! We would love to give our son a sibling, but can’t do it and give both children the kind of life we think they should have. Of course we’ve never had a dime of assistance and that’s how it should be! This “woman” disgusts me to no end!

    • ZenB!tch says:

      They cut maternity on regular insurance? Really? Uh oh. I thought it was just on the crappy kind.

      I’m currently unemployed and occasionally temping. I got crappy limited insurance through the temp agency ($75 copays and only 9 visits per year).

      I noticed it said it did not cover maternity but I thought this was because it is “limited” insurance. I don’t need maternity but I was like what if I did? I thought that was a basic coverage.

      Geesh! I’m upset and I don’t want to have kids.

      As for Nadya – did I mention I’m unemployed, yet somehow manage, rent, insurance, utilities and the gym. Yeah I don’t eat out, I don’t see my friends, I don’t date, I cut cable, I live off boxed foods but I manage. I think my and Nadya’s current economic situations are similar. Tight but manageable. I’m single and get less than $2K a month.

      • the original bellaluna says:

        Yeah, Zen, we do what we have to do. We stopped paying our credit card bills to keep a roof over our kids’ heads and food in the apartment. Now we’re facing BK.

        And if I’m not mistaken, you mentioned you’re in SoCali (where we used to live) and it ain’t cheap! We ended up cashing out hubs’ 401K to pay rent and re-locate to Podunk Nowhere, NoCali. Much cheaper here, but hot as hell in the summer.

  19. Laurie M. says:

    According to her bankruptcy papers she claims to owe over ONE MILLION DOLLARS to kids private school, kids preschool, Sparkletts water delivery, orkin pest service, gardening service, Verizon wireless, water, gas, electric, farmers insurance, etc, AND has not paid rent/mortgage in 11 months!!
    On top of the $4-5k a month in public assistance, she made $100k for the Star bikini shoot, and probably a million dollars or more since the octuplets were born. So where has $2,000,000 gone? I hope the bankruptcy court does some serious investigative accounting!!

  20. Agnes says:

    poor kids, to have a mother that awful. ugh.

  21. bagladey says:

    She’ll be doing porn with partners as soon as she blows through the proceeds from the first film WITHOUT buying a house.

    • leelee says:

      you know it, bagladey! yep, adult industry has octo right where they want her – broke, desperate, willing to do ANYTHING for a buck. She’ll be porking dudes and slobbering on other gals before long. Her rationale when it happens: we, society, the sex industry, etc made her do it. You know whose responsible for Octo’s bad choices in her shriveled, rotting mind? Everyone but Octo! Hey, Octoskank,happy fapping, pig-woman!

  22. Onyx XV says:

    We can be as indignant, offended and disgusted as we want, but this crazy b*tch is not ever going to change.

    I’m just sitting here really puzzled about what’s been going on lately with her eyebrows. They seem to be taking over her face.

  23. Gabby says:

    If she didn’t spend so much money on herself (she seems to think the money she earns is hers alone, and the govt money will take care of the children), people would feel more sorry for her having to resort to porn. That’s really rock-bottom. I still think she needs to get investigated for welfare fraud because if she’s paying for things by check (ex. brazilian blowout) and not by cash, there is definitely a money trail. The plastic surgery is undeniable and hopefully easily-traced.

  24. taxpayer says:

    Thank you for telling the truth about this thing.
    If she has already signed for the porn, wouldn’t
    that money have to be considered in her bankruptcy?
    Will she have to pay back the aid money with her
    porn money if she makes a lot?
    The extra maybe $3000 she gets in aid.
    Is that for her kids supposed disabilities?
    I know Aiden is, but isn’t that just for people
    that have a really low income?
    I know a boy about 19, mentally disabled, he would
    have to move out on his own before he could
    get a SSI check. His daddy makes too much to
    qualify.

      I have a friend who is applying for long term federal disability – is that SSI or something else? She has a chronic illness that is not allowing her to work. She is 35 and single – owns her house. I don’t think she would be eligible if she were married. I also don’t know if she can get off of it without having to pay it back. She is having surgery that if all goes well will make her well within a year or two however, her state doesn’t have short term disability like CA does.

      I thought kids were covered no matter what – I have another friend with two autistic daughters. She has a good job but the state helps with the therapist and programs her daughters are involved in.

      Maybe that is only a CA thing? We’re the state that is bankrupt because we want to keep all our programs but not be taxed for them.

        I think that’s SSI. And yes, all of Octo-loon’s autistic/mentally disabled children qualify.

        They probably also get tuition assistance; it’s pretty much the norm (in Cali, the only kids that get bussed to school are the disabled ones or the ones with parents who make enough to pay for the annual bus pass – the high schools in our old county didn’t even offer busses to students).

        Good luck to your friend – I’ve known folks who it has taken YEARS to get approved for SSI, involved attorneys, and was generally just a GF. I hope she makes it through her surgery and becomes whole again.

    How much does she actually think she is going to make from this ‘film’? Sure there are people out there that have fetishes and such, but how many could there actually be for this chick?

  26. CT says:

    I think people are being incredibly harsh on her. She obviously doesn’t “stay at home and do nothing” since she has 14 children. By default, that is a lot of work. She also can’t possibly not spend money on her kids since without a home and food, they would be dead. She, by default, would HAVE to spend money on the kids lest they turn up dead somewhere. The fact that she has agreed to do pron is very tragic to me and shows that she is willing to do anything to help her children. That does show commitment. I think it is disingenuous to claim that she is on easy street since the facts dictate otherwise.

    • Alexa says:

      I agree. And for people who are so concerned about her poor 14 children – well, how is relentlessly throwing stones at their mom supposed to help them? I understand the anger and disapproval – but ENOUGH with bashing her already. It’s beginning to look as though there are more severely mentally ill people involved in this story besides just Nadya or any of her family and friends . . . those who cannot stop obsessing over their HATE for Nadya need some kind of help too – PRONTO!

    A naked Octo diddling herself on screen? Barf bag please. Actually make that two.

  28. the original bellaluna says:

    She was advised by someone intelligent (because she sure as hell isn’t) that if/when you file BK, you are allowed to remain where you reside, be it rented or owned, if it’s the only property you “own” or have in which to reside.

    It was most definitely intentionally timed and most likely planned.

    Nothing will convince me otherwise.

    All the hair she cut with those $500 dlls migrated to her eyebrows. What a disgusting, sick, abusive, leech, lazy, system looting beetch. TAKE THOSE KIDS AWAY!

    UGH! I never thought I would defend Octomom (on one point only). I just joined that gym (different branch). It’s super-cheap ($36/month) and decent. I’m currently unemployed and was pleasantly surprised to find someplace I could afford.

    Then again, I don’t have kids and unemployment is double taxed (comes from a tax the employer pays and then is taxed on the recipient’s tax return) vs. government aid like welfare.

    Phew… I couldn’t totally defend her.

  31. ZenB!tch says:

    Random repulsive thought – if her eyebrows look like that what does her pubic hair look like?

    I’m picturing dreadlocks!

    • the original bellaluna says:

      Oh, was that really necessary? Now I’m going to have nightmares! ICK.

  32. Shannon says:

    I wish the media would stop covering her, but I understand why they do. Whenever I see a story about her I am inexorably drawn to her craziness. It’s like watching a grisly trainwreck.

    Yet again, if the children are not in immediate danger they should not be taken from her. Seriously, I think you guys are over estimating the foster care system here in CA. It’s not good and they are probably a lot better off with her then being placed in the foster care system. I know that seems wierd, but if you know the alternatives you wouldn’t think she’s so bad.

    At this point, I’m just waiting for her to go to jail. She’ll be there soon the way she’s headed. It’ll either be for bad checks, child abuse, or some sort of fraudalent scheme for money.

    Just wait folks…she will reaps what she sows and eventually CA taxpayers like myself will continue to foot the bill for those children.

    • JaneMarsee says:

      How can you say in one paragraph that the children should stay with her because they are better off with her; and in the next paragraph state that she will go to prison for ..harming one of her children? Did you read your post?

  33. taxpayer says:

    This says she signed with Vivid.
    Wonder if Steve gave her a bonus? 😉
