Behind-The-Scenes with Nadya Suleman in Octomom: The Incredible Unseen Footage
FOX Special Airing Wed, Aug 19 8/7c
Have you wondered what makes Nadya Suleman tick? Get a view into her private world with exclusive footage in a new 2-hour FOX special.
Known to the world as “Octomom,” Nadya Suleman made headlines and history in January 2009 when she gave birth to octuplets conceived through in vitro fertilization (IVF). Already a mother of six, much about Suleman has been shrouded in secrecy and subject to speculation. For the first time, television viewers will get an intimate look inside Suleman’s life in OCTOMOM: THE INCREDIBLE UNSEEN FOOTAGE, a two-hour special airing Wednesday, Aug. 19 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.
Through this never-before-seen footage, viewers will be able to witness the emotional struggles, physical complications and financial burdens of this single mother of 14. From the day the octuplets were born, cameras had unprecedented access to every area of Suleman’s life. For more than seven months, cameras documented Suleman, capturing incredible footage, including the private moments and reactions of Suleman’s family, as well as Suleman’s own feelings, doubts and fears.

This is disgusting. When it is determined which sponsors have funded this monstrosity, I will be sure to boycott appropriately. Bad choice, Fox…
August 16th, 2009 at 8:48 am
Wonder what O’Reilly thinks of this. Didn’t he say it would be NBC to publicize this woman?
August 17th, 2009 at 11:13 am
Why do you think anyone cares or wants to see this. She is a loser and needs to have the kids taken away from her. I refuse to watch this show or any others on the network until she is no longer a part of your lineup. These kids are being exploited and I disagree with your decision to run these shows for this reason. I know many others who will boycott the network if this show airs.
August 17th, 2009 at 1:34 pm
I want to know which companies are sponsoring this trash so I can boycott them and tell my friends to boycott.
August 17th, 2009 at 5:36 pm
How can you air such a thing as this? This woman is sick and her stupid decision is going to ruin all of these children’s lives. By airing this, she benefits…you are paying her, right? The doctor who performed the proceedure also benefits, in a round about way but he should lose his license for what he did and didn’t do. You should be ashamed of yourself. You are making your station no better than those magazines that report seeing aliens and Elvis. I certainly won’t be watching and will reconsider watching any more of your programs.

Re: Octomom
I am horrified. It makes me want to unplug my cable for good. Airing a show about that hideous human being and her unfortunate offspring is beyond reprehensible.
I will boycott Fox and all the sponsors of this sick freak show. I hope millions of people will do the same.

I have not and never will watch anything on this woman. I can’t believe this network subcombed to lowering its standards.
August 19th, 2009 at 9:19 am
Fox has just gone all the way to the bottom… Who care about this lady or her situation when she case all this to her self and her kids. BAD TASTE FOX… JUST BAD TASTE…
August 19th, 2009 at 9:34 am
I am very disappointed in FOX for giving this family a TV special. Personally, I thing you are playing right into the situation. Nadia wanted a TV show all along. She terminated Dr. Phil’s help because one of the requirements for her to have the help Dr. Phil arranged for her was she was not to have any television shows about the babies. I have lost all respect for FOX TV and plan to avoid your station. Thank you
August 19th, 2009 at 10:26 am
My family will be boycotting this show and are disgusted with FOX for carrying it. The producers are kowtowing to Suleman’s need for attention and sympathy for something she voluntarily asked for. The woman is not playing with a full deck and the ones to suffer will be those poor babies who don’t stand a chance of having any kind of normal life. Watching will only encourage others. Anyone who watches should be ashamed, as should the producers and advertisers who sponsor such exploitation. The only one who should watch are Child Protective Services before this dingbat goes off the deepend even further and harms them. Her poor mother tries to stand by her but even she knows it’s a futile situation.
August 19th, 2009 at 12:54 pm
This show looks terrible!!! Why are they continuing coverage on this!? Everyone needs to boycott this show! Show every news and entertainment station that we the people do not care about this low life bottom feeder anymore!! We want good thought provoking entertaining television, not this lowest common denominator CRAP!!!!
August 19th, 2009 at 1:00 pm
I am so disappointed in Fox. I usually watch your network a great deal and enjoy most of your shows, however, this piece on “octomom” will not be in my viewing and most of the people I have talked to at work or other places have said it would be the last thing they would ever tune into. The fact that she is making money for her totally selfish act of stupidity is disturbing. She needs a great deal of mental help, not money from the public, especially a public who do the right thing everyday and don’t get extra pay for it. The real victims here are the litter of kids she has brought into the world. They all need good solid homes to be brought up in, not in the home of a nut. I think you should be ashamed you have furthered her agenda. She should not be celebrated.
August 19th, 2009 at 1:02 pm
I just left a reply. Maybe you don’t want to hear what the public has to say. You have done an irresponsible act in providing “octomom” with any additional publicity.
August 19th, 2009 at 1:47 pm
I would rather eat my own foot than watch a show with that woman. I also would NEVER allow any action that I do result in a single cent of pay for that woman, since I already pay for her whole family with my taxes! Those kids should all be taken from her and put into foster care, simple math indicates that they are abused through neglect, there simply is not enough time to care for them all. Unfortunately for Fox, I will be boycotting the ENTIRE evening lineup tonight because I simply feel it is too important to let anyone get away with what should be a crime that results in incarceration.
As a small P.S., even if I were interested in seeing how she really feels, I would NEVER believe a single word that came out of her mouth. She is a liar, a narcissist and a poor actor. Every time she speaks it is easy to discern her attempts to say what she thinks people want to hear. NO THANKS FOX.
August 19th, 2009 at 2:16 pm
Cry for me nadyalina. Send money to the babies. nadyalina needs to go shoppinginging into infintium.
August 19th, 2009 at 2:24 pm
Are you people kidding me!!!! Please tell us that you are not wasting airtime on that narcissistic, gold digging , pathetic excuse of a mother, octomom. After everything she has said and done have you not learned that the American people find her offensive and an unfit mother.
For years you have always been my choice of channels but now you have become the National Enquirer of TV. God forbid I may have to resort to ABC, NBC or CBS.
If you must air this circus at least apologize for your stupidity in the credits.
August 19th, 2009 at 3:38 pm
SHIT sick of it already! And it hasn’t even aired…YOU screwed UP your life….YA THINK???
So how long do you think you really can ride this babytrain?
August 19th, 2009 at 4:36 pm
DEFINITELY WILL NOT WATCH THE UNFIT MOTHER OF 14 CHILDREN, AND I DONT EVEN WANT TO LEARN ANYTHING NEW FROM HER. NOBODY LIKE HER SO WHO CARE FOR THAT SHOW.
August 19th, 2009 at 4:44 pm
One thing to say about this show…. I wouldn’t watch this if it was the only thing on TV!!!
August 19th, 2009 at 4:49 pm
I hope this won’t be footage of all the lies she has told. I hope we get a look at the REAL Octomom – the coniver, the cheat, and the irresponsibilities she has shown over the last seven months.
August 19th, 2009 at 5:09 pm
i cant believe u people are putting this crap on and you took off terminator.u suck
August 19th, 2009 at 5:23 pm
I am surprised and disappointed that Fox will support the circus show of the OctoMom. Unless the money is put in trust for the children with sane, caring people as executors of the trust, I cannot find anything of value in this type of show. At least I know of one channel I will not be visiting for a long time.
August 19th, 2009 at 5:27 pm
I’m disappointed that FOX has decided to air a segment on OCTOMOM. She is obviously exploiting her children to further her own bank account. She is a disgrace and an embarassment to herself and her children. Perhaps this “special” will warrant social services to investigate her role as a mother. All of her children deserve much better.
August 19th, 2009 at 5:33 pm
I will not watch anything that will help this woman make money off of her children. She is selling her kids to make her living. That is wrong on so many levels. She is sickening. I hope that this will not be watched by many.
August 19th, 2009 at 5:39 pm
WHAT IS GOING ON.THERE WAS NOTHING ON WHEN I TURNED THE ‘OCTOMAM SPECIAL’ JUST A BLANK SCREEN.WHY DIDNT YOU HAVE ANYTHING ON THE AIR????????????????????????????????
What happened.ImREALLY DISAPPOINTED IN YOUR STATION
August 19th, 2009 at 5:43 pm
Unfortunately, I feel that this was a very poor choice of programming for Wednesday night television. It is obvious that the Octomom has some deep rooted social and emotional issues. I hate how Hollywood glorifies women and men who have excessive amounts of children. It is pathetic. As an educator, I feel sorry for the children who are subjected to this foolishness. However, Americans have to take responsibility and stop giving people like the Octomom an audience. I was sick to my stomach after the first half hour of watchiching her parade around with a “classroom” size family.
August 19th, 2009 at 5:49 pm
i like fox normally but am disgusted at coverage of this woman yall should be ashamed to promote this and give her any kind of forum this is awfgull there are great people doing great things in this country and this is your coverage.shame on you
August 19th, 2009 at 5:56 pm
Sorry Fox, I normally watch you all the time but this woman in no way shape or form deserves a special tv show. I will not be watching and hope that your advertisers take note of that fact. I will be back, just not during this show or any others featuring the Octomom.
August 19th, 2009 at 5:58 pm
I certainly hope you and any other media station will not further aknowledge her. The woman is seriously crazy and cannot take care of those children. They should be removed from her and given to people who truly can care for them. I’m appalled that she does NOTHING to support her family (ie. no job) yet she has plenty of frivolous cash to get a tatoo. It is time for the media to put their foot down on profiting from innocent children. I am honestly sickened by the environment she is suppling and believing she is providing them with the best life possible.
August 19th, 2009 at 6:00 pm
what a crock, this woman is sick. HOw many hours did we have to work to pay for her tattoo? oh sure you’ve never been on welfare, where do you think those SSI payment for each of your children is coming from? your children certainly didn’t earn it, we the tax payers did. So go ahead and lie your butt off, you are a money sucking leach on all tax payers.
August 19th, 2009 at 6:04 pm
I apologize for the typing error in the last sentence. That word should reading, ‘watching’. Nevertheless, I continue to watch this show and grow more disgusted.
August 19th, 2009 at 6:05 pm
May God Damn this bitch, and May God damn the bastards that gave into her and her coniving ways, and may God damn the S O B’s that put her on TV. This cunt brought into this world too many kids that she cant even take care of. even the ones the world didn’t know of till she had the 8, she couldn’t take care of…..I’m sick of so many bastard children being born into this world and the bastard men that father them. the octomom should never been allowed to give birth to them..this country and others need mandatory abortion laws….If you can not support yourself let alone a kid …abort it….
August 19th, 2009 at 6:19 pm
I am sick at my stomach…..I am only watching to write down the advertisers supporting this disgusting show so that I can not buy their products….I would rather watch Glen Beck than this show….and we know how advertisers are pulling the plug on him. CANCEL THIS SHOW!!!!
August 19th, 2009 at 6:30 pm
i came across your show, and i just want to say one thing, i think you’re a bitch. the way you speak to your mother is offensive. and i do not know, nor do i care to know “why” you’re a single mom of 14 kids, but ya know, it’s way past time to stop. we the people are paying for everything you have, cause i’m sorry, you cannot tell me that you work outside the home. and you have no husband. enough is enough. and you know what if you want people to “leave you alone” stay off the damn cameras. disgusted in mo, if you don’t know what state that is by the abb. it’s missouri.
August 19th, 2009 at 6:31 pm
FOX is a complete and total disgrace for putting this slimebag on TV. She is a sick, attention starved psycho… so what do the morons running FOX do? Give the idiot more coverage.
You are the biggest bunch of unprofessional jackasses in broadcasting. I will be contacting EVERY advertiser who advertised on this program and let them know i will NEVER buy their products again.
What this woman has done is borderline child abuse, aided and abetted by the dimwits in the media and the morons at home who have so little going on in their life that that care what this abject idiot does.
August 19th, 2009 at 6:35 pm
i came across your show, and i just want to say one thing, i think you’re a bitch. the way you speak to your mother is offensive. and i do not know, nor do i care to know “why” you’re a single mom of 14 kids, but ya know, it’s way past time to stop. we the people are paying for everything you have, cause i’m sorry, you cannot tell me that you work outside the home. and you have no husband. enough is enough. and you know what if you want people to “leave you alone” stay off the damn cameras. disgusted in mo, if you don’t know what state that is by the abb. it’s missouri. ha, just saw that you didn’t even have a man, you went to a sperm bank. the government needs to step in and get your tubes tied.
August 19th, 2009 at 6:36 pm
THIS SHOW IS LIKE WATCHING A TRAIN WRECK!!!! PLEASE LET CHILDRENS PROTECTIVE SERVICES STEP SOON!!
August 19th, 2009 at 6:37 pm
I think this woman is so selfish. I feel so sorry for the children she already has. They are so neglected now more then ever. The show it self showed the children acting out. This will get worse.I also feel sorry for her mother it’s evident her mother has tried to be a good parent.She trys to save her. Octo self centered is what she should be called. The problem is she was spoiled by her father and now she expects these children to save her dead butt. Most of all FOX is stupid to give her the time of day. Put back BONES or anything but octo sick person or I will find another station to watch.The children should be taken from her and placed in homes with families who will work for a living and will show them love.
August 19th, 2009 at 6:51 pm
her voice is awful the show what i watched is horrible my sister has 15 kids they are behaved and all taught at home and birthed at home i think when she sees she is not going to make it big time and people wont watch another kate and 8 type show she will be in the nuthouse and lose all the kids she is not the mother type to handle a situation or can she handle money she probably on drugs allready valium i watched the rest of americas got talent suleman has none any one having 8 kids in this economic times and the tax payeers will have to pay and are if she is on food stamps do a show on homeless and poor children
August 19th, 2009 at 6:59 pm
Nadia i just wanted to say that i support you! I feel from watching the 2 hour special that you are a wonderful mother you are doing the best that you can given the situation. I feel that the people that judge you should take a look at there lives and place themselves in your shoes just for a minute even if they do not agree with how you conceived your children. My heart goes out to you and your family i think that it is amazing that you are celibate for your children it shows that you are not a selfish person. Your children are beautiful and I pray nothing but the best for all of your babies. I am a mother of a one year old and its humbling to know that you are doing this all on your own because i have the support of a spouse and still find my self feeling a bit over whelmed. I just wanted to say that You are truly blessed and a person that will have many crowns. Take care

August 19th, 2009 at 7:01 pm
I can’t believe this show, fox has sunk to a new low. I can sum it up in a few words “this woman is bat shit crazy” I’m not saying this because she has 14 kids (I enjoy Jon and Kate + 8 and also enjoy 18 kids and Counting) She does not deserve to have her own show and whoever thought it would be a good idea to actually PAY her for her camera-whoring should seriously reconsider another profession. This is a show I will definately NOT be watching again, shame on you fox for stroking her already skewed sense of reality.
August 19th, 2009 at 7:02 pm
I just saw the special. I’m surprised that I didn’t see this evil woman everyone talks about. She seems to be a very sweet, gentle and kind lady to her children.
AND patient. My my my so patient. I would be a complete wreck.
August 19th, 2009 at 7:08 pm
The camerawoman during the delivery was very irritating, a nuisance.
August 19th, 2009 at 7:09 pm
Okay Fox, Like all others, you have exposed the inner life of the those less fortunate (Octomom). I am hopeful that you will now get help for the older children (ie males). That they lash out at their mother is not healthy and they definitely need a male in their lives. They Need ATTENTION!! Please refer mom to Big Brothers of America if you will not pay for something else. To put this on the air is disturbing!
August 19th, 2009 at 7:12 pm
I just finished watching the 2 hour special of the crazy women with all those UNHAPPY children… It was so sad to watch what those young innocent children are dealing with. I was crying by the end of this program… Those poor kids… Can anyone say Neglect…
August 19th, 2009 at 7:12 pm
It looked from the show that she does really love her kids but come on……….there was NEVER silence in that house. I saw her discipline the child that kicked the baby, and slapped her, by saying time out about 6 times…..I saw her driving with her hands off the wheel………the direspect in the story of putting her mother in the trunk was outrageous…..Her children are not disciplined……..not a single one listened to her when she tried to tell them to do something. This is a family out of control. I feel sorry for all involved.
August 19th, 2009 at 7:17 pm
I thought everyone was to hard on Nadya, but after seeing this show, I really believe those children (ALL of them) need and deserve more attention. What chaos!!! It is odvious her and her mom have a life time of issues, but even if her past was horrible, all the more reason to give these children a stable home. No one is perfect, and it is sad to devide a home, but it seems to be thebest for the children.
August 19th, 2009 at 7:32 pm
I just watched about 15 minutes of this show. When Octomom was laughing about her mother rolling around in the trunk of the car, that was the final straw that convinced me that if the State of California’s DHS does not remove all of her children (of whom she apparently has no control) from this home, they are clueless as to what a childhood should be like. What a mess! Not only is she a horrible mother, she is mean hearted. Someone tie her tubes NOW.
August 19th, 2009 at 7:46 pm
It is beyond me that the authorities have not taken any of these kids out of her home yet, and it is incomprehensible that any responsible network would give her any air time at all. It is obvious that we are talking about someone who is possibly very emotionally unstable, who will do anything to get exposure. DO NOT encourage this behaviour because it only feeds in to her fame fantasy. Anyone at all who has seen this interview has to see it, she really thinks that she is THE THING to watch on television now. I hope that after tonight people will see what she is doing to those children.
August 19th, 2009 at 7:51 pm
Just watched the Octomom footage; that poor lady living in all that chaos! The babies appear to be doing great. The grandma is really a “bitchy” person though!

[...] FOX NEWS: Official Preview of Octomom’s Unseen Footage [...]
August 19th, 2009 at 7:57 pm
I have to say I always thought that Ms Suelman was a little confused and just made bad choices. After watching this special, I have to say my opinion changed. Her words said one thing and her body language said the opposite. I have to say I no longer feel sorry for her as she is getting exactly what she planned. She came across as someone who would do anything to be famous and she succeeded. In one breath she is saying she did not ask to be famous and doesn’t like the attention and in another breath she is encouraging the picture taking. When she did the interview with her mother the only person who spoke the truth was her mother. If you are trying not to be famous why trademark the name “Octomom”? Why show her watching Jon and Kate and have her saying how good it would be for her kids and then in the next scene have her ripping Kate Gossellins picture and chuckling as she throws it in the garbage? Why bring home your first two kids and call 911 because of the media because it is unsafe and then walk into a house where there are 5 or more cameras and reporters? The only people I feel sorry for are the 14 kids who did not ask to be brought into this unstable environment. One day she will have to answer to them as to why and then she can show them this special so they can see she had them to get famous.
August 19th, 2009 at 8:18 pm
This is one episode of a TV show that I gladly missed. It’s really sad when a network decides to do a show about the most pathetic excuse of a person who is only looking for publicity.
August 19th, 2009 at 8:25 pm
I wanted to know if this program will b available on the internet at some point. I wasnt able to watch tonight
August 19th, 2009 at 8:43 pm
I missed this and really wanted to see it . Will it be aired again or may I purchase it. How can I watch it please!!!!
August 19th, 2009 at 9:02 pm
WHO is paying for her house and her nannies? Do we know?
August 19th, 2009 at 9:13 pm
PLEASE.. do not continue to air any more about the Octomom. I cannot and will not watch this woman exploit those children any longer.. She is obviously a manipulative, immature woman, but those poor children shouldn’t have to pay the price for being a product of her short sighted antics.
I watched a short part of the show, but had to turn it off when I saw the older of the children reacting negatively to the videotaping. Her immature “confessions” to her friend
was, perhaps, good TV in your eyes, but I feel very sorry for those children who have no adult taking responsibility for their young lives.
PLEASE… do not continue this farce.
I don’t want to see her treat them like a litter of pups.
It’s cruel and inhuman.
This is not fair to those kids…
This woman needs serious psychological help. Do not multiply the problems by encouraging her behaviour.
Sincerely,
Joan Rondeau

August 19th, 2009 at 9:53 pm
Watching this show is like watching a train wreck about to happen… it is so bad you can’t pull your eyes away. But seriously, I see those babies crying to be held, and hope they are getting held as much as their brains need for healthy development. If not Miss Babbling, Never Shuts Up, Never Says a Thing of Importance Nadya, is raising 8 future sociopaths…just like when Romania raised a generation of un-held children in the orphanages.
August 19th, 2009 at 9:54 pm
I THOUGHT SHE WAS NUTS BEFORE NOW THIS CONFIRMS IT… HER OLDER KIDS ARE HORRIBLE. THEY HIT BITE AND SAY BITCH HMMMM WHERE DID A 2 YEAR OLD LEARN THAT? AND SHE DOES’NT EVEN DISCIPLINE THEM . IF THEY DO SOME THING WRONG SHE TELLS THEM NOT TO DO IT OR THEY WILL GET A TIME OUT BUT SHE DOES’NT FOLLOW THRU. THEY JUST DO WHAT EVER THEY WANT . I HAVE NEVER SEEN KIDS AS BAD AS HERS.. SHE’S PATHETIC. WORST MOM OF THE YEAR.
August 19th, 2009 at 10:13 pm
That was the most poorly edited show aired. No continuity; same scenes repeated over and over. Probably 20 minutes of material stretched to one hour. This is why we rarely watch anything on Fox.
August 19th, 2009 at 10:33 pm
I would really like to send Nadya a letter, does she have a p.o. box or specific mailing address that I could send to? I looked through google but seems that there are too many negative hits for her than the ones to bring her up and keep her going. If someone could email me this information, I would really appreciate it! tootall315@hotmail.com Thanks!
August 19th, 2009 at 11:08 pm
This is a total disgrace. How is this even legal? My biggest concern is the children. There is no way that I single parent could fulfill all the wants and needs of 14 children and not leave one out. Many of these children are bound to be neglected and left out, more so the older children.
Wow! I am totally agree at the moment. I hate to see children suffer. Why on earth would this lady do this? The doctor who fertilized this woman should be prosecuted.
She was (and still is) a single mother, with 6 children, homeless (living with her parents), and unemployed. There should be some type of requirement when it comes to fertilization.
August 19th, 2009 at 11:13 pm
I think that even though she may be a little attention seeking and a little money hungry, she does care for her kids and she will do whatever she can to ensure that they are happy and well kept.
August 19th, 2009 at 11:25 pm
When will this re-air?
August 20th, 2009 at 1:59 am
Congratulations Fox……you have just lost a faithfull viewer by airing this disgusting story (Octomom)…..I do feel for the baby’s but their mother is clearly unstable in her ideas as far as having these children…It appears that she is only looking for fame and financial gain??????…..Yet, you as a network are contributing to this ????……
For being in such a stressed out environment with all those children she has, somehow I didn’t get the feeling that she was stressed out in the least….the whole picture I got didn’t seem very real to me……I think I was more stressed raising my son as a single parent in comparison to what I saw tonight with this women raising ???? children as a single parent………Granted, I did not have a reality show to help me with my one child……Also, my nails never looked that nice when my son was that young………When he was that age, I didn’t have the money or the time to keep my nails up…..How funny that “Octomom” is able to do this with multiple children?????…….I just don’t see how she is able to do all this as a single Mom…..It appears as though her own Mom does not even agree with what she is doing …….What does that tell you???…..
How sad for the children…….
Honestly, what do you think you are teaching the young girl’s in today’s unstable financial society by this story????…..
“Hey young girls……Don’t feel like like working for a living and contributing to society????…..Looking for an easy way out????…..Gather whatever funds you may have availabe to you including welfare, college funds, what have you….. to help you in becoming another “Octomom” …….
If you’re lucky enough like Nadia, you can get a reality show like hers……..That will pay you enough so that you will not need to seek employment to support your own children that you made the decision to have knowing that you could not personally afford to raise financially on your own……..
Let the taxpayers do that for you ……..Knowing that as American’s , we will not allow our children to suffer regardless of their situation due to their own parent’s negligence…….
What a great message this wil be sending to single women with no life goals…..THIS IS A PERFECT MONEY-MAKER!!!!!Honestly……Really….Is this the message, you as a network, really want to portray to our women???????…..
Again, please know that I pray for the best, for these poor helpless children that did not ask to have such an unstable, ill minded, lunatic mother……….
.As a society, are we not responsible for these helpless baby’s born from an incompetent mother?????……..
Again, where are CHILDREN’S SERVICES???……Honestly…….Lord help these baby’s……..
August 20th, 2009 at 4:35 am
Can you explain why the video “cannot be viewed” from this site? It’s amazing to me that the other networks have almost everything available online, yet Fox runs something this “special” and it’s not available to watch? It would be helpful to explain to your audience WHY it is not available.
August 20th, 2009 at 5:17 am
This show was the most blatantly disgusting piece of narcissism I have seen in a long time. I never saw octomom interacting with any of the babies, only the nannies. The babies were lined up next to each other on the floor like a litter of dogs. Octomom never shut up and I did not want to hear about how people were trying to peek into her newly donated million dollar house (HELLO-what did she expect), or how there are noises in a bathroom and she couldn’t go pee and doesn’t let anyone use it now (that’s a real grown up way to handle things) or how she gave up medical school to take care of the babies (please – again she didn’t work and was a full-time student). This woman is in her early 30’s and has never grown up and the only way she has been able to move on past “her mistake” is because everyone else has given her everything she needs to get on with life. Her mom and dad are more in touch with things than this woman ever will be. She does not have the emotional capacity to be able to parent this many children and give them all special time – as evidenced by the fact she called one of the kids by the wrong name when holding him up to the cameras. I still feel (as I did when she had these kids) that they should be taken away from her. AND I would like to know how someone who doesn’t have a job can afford to go out to dinner with friends and get a manicure – more gifts? This whole situation is nauseating.

This woman is ILL.. I hope therapy will be available to her and kids. I hope CPS takes her angry children from her… not a positive broadcast. The photo/videographer in the delivery room was an embarrassment to your profession. This should not of been presented

I have an 8 month old at times it can be hard. But after watching the show yesterday, I’ve realized that her house is clean, roomy, and organized and the kids all look healthy. She has the help she needs and she loves her kids. Being in a foster home is not the solution to everything, if they’re not being abused or neglected. I’ve heard of cases where you take the kids away from their home and they end up being sexually assaulted, physically abused or even killed by the highest of person qualified to have them. Shes doing what she has to do to provide for them, I dont need to say much if its not coming out of my pocket. The only concern I have is the older kids acting out, maybe jealousy, maybe the camera crew, but that can happen even with 2 or 3 kids. Shes not the first or last to have children exposed to cameras.

DISGUSTING! I thought the show with the Gosslings was in poor taste but this takes the first place. It is a shame that she was given the opportunity to show the chaotic conditions she is subjecting the kids, and her mentation is questionable and inappropriate most of times. Can not believe that your network invested money in this garbage which was poorly edited…..a network that is showing so many great shows (Bones, Fringe, etc) and now this. I am hope you rethink the quality of the programs that are bieng offered and don’t invest into showing poorly made, poor quality productions with little or no value for viewers.

I am perplexed at this woman’s choices and life. She seems to love her children and seems like a good mother, but, wow, how will her kids grow up and be normal with all the hulaballoo? I also find it sad that her mother is not supporting her emotionally and is holding this against her. I think Nadya has some issues to work out emotionally. What was she thinking having any children without a father present if she believes in God?

It is incredible; the Octomom handing a check to the hospital for their services. Doctors were standing in line for their money. Truly an incredible miracle, that women can now have litters; the human race is saved from extinction. Thank you Octomom.

As for Fox network exploiting an ambitious women, who planned these events; it figures. They should call Fox network, Anything for a Buck, or Anything Goes for Tax Cuts. I digress from the topic; I believe she knew what she would get if the babies lived.
