Octomom to Kate: Don’t You Judge Me
It’s a battle of the super-breeders! The LA Times is reporting that Nadya Suleman (aka: Octomom) wants Kate Gosselin, star of TLC’s “Jon & Kate + 8,” to stop judging her.
Suleman’s comments come after a recent episode of “Dr. Phil.” Gosselin, the mother of five-year-old sextuplets and two older children, said that Suleman would have a difficult time raising her 14 children without a husband or money. She was responding to a question about Suleman’s situation.
Here’s what Suleman had to say in response:
“Do I have to watch it? She reminds me of my mother,” said Suleman, a
resident of La Habra, in an interview with Radar Online released this
morning. “I have moved past my mistakes. She has her own issues. …
She needs to stop being so judgmental and stop pulling at straws for
attention.” …
Suleman said in the video interview that Gosselin should focus on her
own life. “My children are extremely healthy, strong and happy. Don’t
you have, like, a lot of issues in your life? A lot of marital
problems?” she told Radar.
Ouch!
Incidentally, Suleman signed on for her own reality show. But producers want you to know it’s different. Ocotomom herself will be holding the camera much of the time. Oh, that can’t be good. That can’t be good.

Suleman creeps me out so much. She seems utterly detached from reality.

Knitty commented on Jan 01 70 at 12:00 amI’m no fan of Kate’s, but saying that someone would have a difficult time raising 14 children without a partner or money is a statement of fact, not a personal attack. Suleman’s response is personal and ugly.
