Recently asked if she was planning to do a reality show, Octomom
said, “Absolutely not! I have no interest in being famous. I’d love to
vanish from the public eye as soon as I can.” Whom was she talking to about “vanishing
from the public eye?” Life and Style magazine, which has Nadya Suleman on the
cover of their current issue. Here’s a hint on how to avoid that pesky fame,
Nadya: don’t give two-hour interviews to entertainment magazines.
Given the hypocrisy of her response about reality TV, I’m
inclined to believe reports (from In Touch Weekly, which—surprise!—also has an “exclusive”
interview with Suleman in an upcoming issue) that a reality TV show is already
in the works for the Octomom and her populous clan.
On the pain of giving birth to ocuplets, Suleman told Life and Style, “With
that many babies, it feels like your insides are being torn apart. The babies
were ripping apart my organs.” Wow! She sure does have a flair for drama. I
have no doubt that giving birth to eight babies at once induces a level of pain
that I hope to never experience in my life, but her description sounds like it’s
straight out of a gory sci-fi movie (or a particularly compelling segment of a
reality TV show….). And judging from the endless images of Suleman gracing
magazines, TV, and the Internet, it seems that all of her organs survived the
birth.
Suleman was also eager to
dispel rumors that she didn’t really, really want kids—since, you know, that’s
what we’re all so concerned about. “People think I just woke up one day and
decided to start a family,” she said. “I’ve been trying to have kids since I was
19 years-old!” And you think this makes it LESS insane that you have quite
purposefully spawned 14 children by age 33? Judging from the cover of the magazine (which is all I have to go on, since there's no way I'm going to spend three bucks to read more of the interview than the online excerpt), Suleman is considering having even more children.
I’m starting to think that Nadya Suleman may be even crazier than she seems—crazy in a way that requires compassion and serious psychiatric
treatment, not a media campaign, and definitely not a fertility clinic.
