Octomom Natalie Suleman was in the spotlight when she gave birth to octuplets.
She tells to extraTV, "It's different because there was, there's nothing but negative connotation in the past, and this is actually my family and I have the opportunity, finally, you know, to share our truth. And so, this is an exciting time to be able to finally take the narrative back that was stolen from us many years ago and to tell our true story."
"I've been declining opportunities to do a reality show since they were little. I just wanted to protect them and keep them safe, which, you know, that's our job as a parent to do. In the beginning, I thought, 'Well, you know, I'm an adult. I'll allow myself to be exploited. I'm a walking joke, Octomom, this dehumanized caricature,' so I could just provide for them and feed them, put clothes on their backs and a roof over their head. I didn't realize that, you know, it would be so toxic, and it eventually would take a toll on my mental health."
In the past, there were reports saying that she went for plastic surgery to look like Angelina Jolie.
Natalie clarifies about this matter, "I'm very, very grateful for my diverse ethnic background that I'm not going to share today, but I wouldn't want to look like or be like anyone other than myself. As us women should all strive, you know, to be confident, and, more importantly, teach our children to love themselves unconditionally. So, I think it's very important just to embrace yourself and love yourself."
"It was the lips. That’s the only reason. So, no, I've not had plastic surgery on my face, and I've never had plastic surgery to want to look like someone else. It was those lips, those hideous lips."
"They wanted to sell their trashy magazines, so the crazier Octomom looked, the crazier I appeared, the more that will fuel the fire of hate in the public. And it worked. They were pretty proficient at what they did."
