Photos: Octuplet Mom Can't Afford Babies BUT Can Afford Plastic Surgery

Posted by Sassy Smith

 

 

After "octuplet mom" Nadya Suleman gave her first interview, many speculated that the mother of 14, had plastic surgery, even though they'd not seen old photos of her.  One website that specializes in looking at photos of celebrities to determine if they've had work done, believe that Suleman has certainly had surgery.  How on earth can a woman who has no job, is on government assistance, receives zero child support, and lives with her parents, afford to have her face done?

According to awfulplasticsurgery.com, it appears that Nadya Suleman has had work done.  Certainly her lips have been enhanced and it looks like her nose has been "shaved" down.  She may have had her eyes done too. 

For argument sake, let's say she had only her lips done (that seems quite obvious to anyone, even those of us who are not doctors!), how does a woman who can't afford her fourteen children (yes, and never mind how she was able to pay for fertility treatments in the first place!), afford to get her lips enlarged?  Explain that to me!

And did anyone notice HERE that her nails are professionally done?  Listen, I get my nails done too - but I have a job, pay my own bills, do not receive food stamps, do not have my parents pay my bills and am able to provide for my children - I can afford to have my nails done.  Sure, there were times when my husband and I struggled financially - we have never been on assistance, but trust me, there were times when we had to scrape up enough money for this or that.  And during those lean times, NEVER did I splurge on nails or anything else that may take food out of my childrens' mouths.  Never.

So, where does this woman come off saying she can provide for her children?  She lives in her parents' home (which she's trashed by the way), lied to Ann Curry about being on assistance - she gets over $400 per month in food stamps and she receives benefits for three of her oldest children, who have disabilities.  And yet, she can afford to get her nails done (because after popping 8, premature babies out, that would be MY priority too) and have her face altered (hey, my kids might go without, but at least I'll look good).  Ugh.

Nadya Suleman is not playing with a full deck.  Even celebrities think she's nuts!

Here's another "before & after"...surgery or not?

So here's what I think.... She is a manipulative wacko who blackmails people to get what she wants.  I think you are right that she is obsessed with angelina jolie.  I mean come on... she totally brought in a picture of AJ and said "make me look like this."  Perhaps she is trading "something" for all these costly favors.  I am just saying.  I don't know how else she could afford IVF and plastic surgery unless she had a some good dirt to ruin these people or if she was making payments of a different sort.  Just my thoughts...

I noticed the nails too and was thinking that either I hope she didn't get them done while pregnant, as it is not good for the health of the babies. I was also thinking, hmmm must be nice to get nails off of welfare. Welfare is any form of financial assistance provided by the Government which is funded by tax paying dollars to those who cannot support themselves. I don't know what her meaning of "welfare" is but she def gets welfare. I hope she pays it back! Work harder....millions on welfare depend on YOU! That is def how I feel in this society. I spent eight yrs on active duty in the Marine Corps, got out w/an honorable discharge and could not get any assistance. It amazed me that you have to not do anything to get assistance, but if you try and make your efforts, your SOL.

This chick is a twisted liar. Despite saying she isn't, or hasn't been, she IS on public assistance. Despite saying she hasn't had plastic surgery she HAS! Those lips are horrid! I just hope no profit seeking company seeks her out to make a buck on her outrageous behavior. I think that is what she is really after. She noe has a web site and she is asking for donations!!! What an awful person she must be.

SHAME ON HER!!!!!!! i cannot believe her, i am outraged. i'm only 16 but i know what is right and wrong, and bringing in 8 more kids into the world when already having 50 grand in debt is stupid and inane! >:-(   her children should be taken away asap!!!

I think she should do the right thing and give those babies up for adoption. There are so many loving couples out there that could give them a more fulfilling life. It makes me sad because you know she can't think that rational. I think it takes a very unselfish person to want to give your kid a better life than you can offer. And, if she did get some plastic surgery done, instead of contributing to rent,food for her kids, ETC...I think some questions really need to be raised about her ability to parent.

I am just horrified! Okay talk about working the system...first disability, then food stamps, next add social security benefits???? I think this is the worst example of abusing the system to come to light. Unfortunately some will learn how to work it from her.

I personally pray for the safety, health, and happiness of these 14 poor innocent children! IF I was her mother I would sue for custody of the children since I am providing for them anyway. Her mother seems a little sane even if she hasn't heard the term "tough love."

As a counselor myself I am TERRIFIED if she ever earns her masters and practices on anyone! Not receiving welfare...whatever...what government source haven't you tapped yet????

The really sad part of this case is that the kids will be the one paying the price for her irresponsibility.

If you really think about what she has done, the lady just wants attention.  From having facial plastic surgery to having all the kids, having her nails done, this certainly is just an attention issue.

Where is the ethical question on this situation?  The doctor could have figured that this lady had/have a mental issue and should have been sent to some physiatrist.  I hope the doctor does not get away with this and I’m hoping that her kids will be put for adoption because she will not be able to support them.

Ultimately the kids will be the one paying the price, even thought $ wise the tax payers will be.  The mother has issue and if the kids stay with her, they will also have issues.

Nadya is the poster child for irresponsibility.  And who will pay the price?  Her innocent children that didn't ask to be brought into the world.  She has condemned those children to a life of poverty, neglect, and chaos.  Nadya needs psychiatric counseling to understand her compulsion to have children and why her train of thought is so warped.  She also needs to admit that she has made a huge MISTAKE and put all of the octuplets (and maybe her 6 others) up for adoption.  Please people out there - don't give this woman your money and allow her to misappropriate any more funds.  If you feel you must help her, give her diaper, formula, and necessities for the children.  I have a feeling that she will be watched very closely by the state and that it will only be a matter of time before some of those children are taken from her because they are being neglected.

This lady is pathetic.  I could tell within 30 seconds of watching her first interview that she'd had work done on her face... I was already wondering what her deal was having kids WE'RE supporting... apparently we've supported her plastic surgery as well.  Whomever picks her up and sponsors her game doesn't deserve our support.  She's a total user.

What gets me is, she has had all this money for these inverto procedures, and plastic surgery and yet still collecting welfare (food stamps). Would that not be considered fraud? 9 months ago she had at least 10 thousand dollars for the inverto procedure and was on assistance at the same time hmmmmm......

Also would child abuse be considered here where she has no money to feed or clothe her kids, is that not neglect, should DCS not be involved. She is basically panhandling now but using the internet instead of a bucket.

Just wait if she makes it rich off of this, there will be so many more people doing this for the fame and money. Sad, very sad.

One last thing, I guarantee that she will sue the doctor now that he is gettng all the negative press, claiming he didn't stop her or talk her out of it in order to make millions.

Wrong just wrong. Thanks for letting me ramble!

I know she may not deserve any assistance or help from anyone or even corporate America, but her poor babies do.  I hope that people do step up to help the children out so that they do not suffer for their mothers decisions.  It is not their fault that she chose her wants over what would would be beneficial for her children. I hope this opens opens eyes in regards to people who have children in abundance and are on assistance.  We always hear about welfare reform, i have two suggestions, 1. Drug Test!  For those of us who work drug testing is always a possibility and 2. make them work for their benefits!

working harder, welfare recepients need me to said:

This is sickening. Someone should seriously look into the welfare fraud issue because if this isn't fraud than I should go get in line and sign up for public assistance.  I have no money for nails, plastic surgery or IVF treatments, hell I barely can eat and pay my bills most months, surely I must qualify.

I wonder who is going to pay for her tummy tuck. You know she is not going to walk around with all that extra skin hanging off of her.

It's criminal fraud to receive food stamps and/or SSI if you have more than a thousand or two in cash assets. I hope someone is checking into this. BTW, has she been completing classes funded by federal aid?

you know it is one thing to have 14 kids at different times but to have twins and 8 at once is pushing it big time... people need to stat looking at the big picture. this girl better be done having kids or someone needs to do something about it.... she isnt married and her mother is stressed about it she should be happy to have grandkids but i dont blame her one bit

This poor woman is ill, and she is going to care for these children.  No one can take a child away from a mother because she is mentally ill, or because she doesn't have enough money to raise them.  Face it.  In order to have her children taken away, she must be a danger to them, or herself.  As long as they have food, shelter, and go to school pretty much, there is nothing that the county can do.  I just hope that she gets the medical/psychiatric help that she needs.  And I agree, that people should help the grandmother and the children.  It's so nice to see all of the perfect people, who live perfect lives, be so charitable towards this very ill woman.

This woman isn't ill. She's a liar, a con artist, a scam artist, selfish, pathetic, irresponsible, lazy, creepy, dishonest, obsessed with herself, gross, etc. but one thing she is not is ill.

I wouldn't be surprised if the fertility doctor is on on this with her.

Why isn't this woman being investigated for fraud? From what I've been reading, it seems like she's got a whole lotta fraud goin' on!

Look at the different angles of the pictures, the expressions on her face will also play a big part in it. Really I do not support what she has done by no means. Its done what can we do? So lets worry about what needs to be taken care! Everyone is looking down at her for what she did. I agree what she did was not right. The babys are here and that is gods will, not a one of us can change that. She could be a very good mom, just not a real smart one. Many people have rasied 14 kids, they might not have much but thats life.  Those people where still love just as much, if not more than one with a silver spoon. I know alot of people rasied with very little and they are the best people I know. So I say she had them she needs to take care of them, and judge your self befor you judge others for starters!

Why, oh why, do women think that having lips the size of truck tires are attractive? It doesn't give a very appetizing look to the mouth when speaking. It looks like a gummy candy moving around. What happens to these women when they age? Do their lips hang down to their chins? Disgusting! It doesn't look any better on Hollywood stars. (I do think Angelina are real, because her father and brother also have a similar type of mouth). Look at how Meg Ryan, Michelle Pfeiffer, Cher and countless other have ruined natural good looks with this horrible practice.

I think she had a goal from the very start and that was to have a bunch of kids so she could have movies and books about her experience.Shes nuts alright but not stupid she is getting us taxpayers to pay for her babies, plastic surgery and her nails.

Its sickening.  The woman is obviously filled with issues.  Even if she hasnt the sense to stop having kids, the dr should be held accountable for the intentional multiple births.

I'm glad someone besides me noticed in that interview her nails were done.  

The worst part about all this is the fact that ALL the children are innocent pawns & deserve so much better than this woman can ever give them!

As a mother of 5,a wife ,a child ,a custodian,and a welfare recipient,HOW is she getting the money to do all this?I can barely afford to buy my children the basic things they need!!!There should be a program that stands ou for the rights of children in situations like this!!!I am in pain for those little tiny babies at the mercy of this thing because she is not a mother.No mother in her rght mind would subject her children to what these kids are going to have to go through.

She needs the babies and her other children to be taken from her.  The doctor needs to pay for the babies for the rest of their lives and she needs to get a job!  I bust my butt working two sometimes three jobs and can't afford to pay attention.  She can buy lips and whatever else and IVF for EIGHT BABIES???? do tell.

We've all been pinching our pennies and trying to make it through this recession/depression only to have this donald duck lip lady take our money in the form of state and federal welfare for 8 more kids. She has no respect for this country or for us tax payers. She doesn't have to pay any taxes with 14 kids. Her mother's been bankrupt for 1.5 million dollars. Nobody in her family pays their way. Workers compensation suit - $165,000. She obviously likes having children with disabilities to collect more federal aid.

Good or bad she has the attention of america... She not mental she knows EXCATLY what she's doing... We're feeding right into her trap!

Lets not forget about the Mom that drowned her five children,due mental derangement.Nadya has to be mentally deranged to think she could love and provide for 14 children.These precious babies should be adopted out to loving,caring parents, [that's a Mom & Dad]that could love and provide for them. There are so many lovings couples out there that can't have children and long to have children.

Lets not wait for another tragedy to happen.

Nadya should have to paid for all doctor and hospital bills,she should be held responsible not the state or fed.gov. With all the money she will be getting,make her pay.

I think she is very crazy. i don't blame her for having 14 kids because i know lots of people who have more than that. But i don't like the fact that she had all 8 at once. All the people i know have 1 at a time or twins! And not on purpose (egg&sperm implant)! i don't want to get into this. Whatever is done; is done.

WOW! Enough Already. You people are horrid. What kind of person wishes for babies to be taken away from their mother. She is not a non fit. She is obviously to much into herself, but she doesn't abuse her children and they aren't malnourished. She will never be able to pay all those doctor bills and she will never repay her student loans. Big Deal! I would rather my tax money go for someone on welfare who actually needs it versus some lazy ass drug addict just waiting to get their next fix. What's done is done, nothing can be changed. People have their opinions, but all in all she made wrong decisions. She is human, we all are.
