Octomom Nadya Suleman Breaks Down as She Prepares to Share Her Story

Octomom is speaking out 16 years after first rising to infamy.

In January 2009, Natalie "Nadya" Suleman earned the nickname Octomom when she gave birth to two girls and six boys, who became the first-ever surviving octuplets. After conceiving via IVF treatments and already being a single mother to six other kids, Suleman began to face massive backlash, which she is addressing in Lifetime’s upcoming Confessions of Octomom docuseries.

The trailer for the program kicks off with Suleman, now 49, driving around Los Angeles with a face covering, hat and sunglasses. When the producer asks why she is covering up, she says: “It helps with my social anxiety.”

“Nobody knows — they look and they look away,” she continues. “It doesn't draw any attention because people don't want to look and stare.”

It then flashes back to news articles from 2009, when the public criticized Suleman for having 14 children while already on government aid and struggling to take care of them. At one point, the documentary points out she was even voted “the most hated mom in the world.”

After 13 years of “living in hiding,” Suleman finally appears on camera to tell her side of the story.

“I'd love to explain what happened and why I became Octomom,” she says. “I've always wanted to be a mom. I wanted a big family. When I set my mind to achieving a goal, you know, I achieve that goal.”

“I think I may have overachieved with being a mom, though, a little too much there,” she laughs.

Suleman explains that she found Beverly Hills fertility specialist, Dr. Michael Kamrava, after being diagnosed with endometriosis. Court documents then flashed on the screen, showing that Kamrava had been going against the recommended medical practice of implanting just two embryos at a time.

“The doctor transferred eight embryos, and she knew that there were eight,” someone says in the doc, highlighting speculation that Suleman was lying about her knowledge of how many babies she was carrying.

Confessions of Octomom premieres March 10 at 10 p.m. ET on Lifetime.

I would probably be having panic attacks wearing all that stuff on my face and head! She's crazier than hell. She was willing to show her whole body doing porn to support her large brood, but she's got to hide her face???

I always wondered how she afforded IVF while living on government assistance. I know people who've cashed out their retirement or mortgaged their houses to afford IVF. I think she is selfish and definitely a little crazy.
