00:00Why, um, explain, uh, explain to me again why, um, why you cover up?
00:10For sure it helps with my social anxiety.
00:12Nobody knows.
00:13They look and they look away.
00:14It doesn't draw any attention because people don't want to look and stare.
00:18We are all getting our first look at Octomom.
00:21Octomom.
00:22Octomom.
00:23Octomom.
00:24Nadia Suleiman.
00:25Single woman.
00:26No job.
00:27She's obviously on government aid.
00:31Nadia was voted as one of the most hated people in America.
00:36Let's see the baby diving!
00:42At the time my mom was getting a lot of death threats.
00:44Nadia Suleiman is a monster.
00:45It was just a frenzy.
00:46It was all that plays on TV.
00:47She has six other children.
00:48It's a strike.
00:49Go into her home.
00:50Take these kids away.
00:51Everyone's laughing at you, Octomom.
00:58I'd love to explain what happened and why I became Octomom.
01:09I've always wanted to be a mom.
01:10I wanted a big family.
01:11When I set my mind to achieving a goal, you know, I achieved that goal.
01:16I think I may have overachieved with being a mom though.
01:21A little too much there.
01:22I ended up getting diagnosed with endometriosis.
01:26Then I found Dr. Kamrava.
01:29Kamrava implanted seven embryos at one time.
01:32The recommendation is just two embryos.
01:35The doctor transferred eight embryos.
01:39She knew that they were eight.
01:41She lied about it.
01:42So did you lie for Dr. Kamrava?
01:46I had just given birth to eight. I could not financially afford them. I was struggling.
01:54I was really desperate to make any money. She got picked up for the welfare fraud case.
02:00She had been getting these offers to do adult films and finally said yes.
02:04There was this vine where fame itself had the greatest potential to get some income for her
02:11kids. When someone comes up to you at school and asks you, is your mom a stripper? You don't know
02:16what to say. Octomom has checked herself into a rehab program. I knew that was the time to
02:30kill Octomom. I've been waiting a very, very long time to tell my true story, and I believe the
02:39world is ready to hear it. The topic of my biological father has come up. He's a donor,
02:43so we can't name him because he's anonymous. Why did you choose to tell this story? I was
02:49the sperm donor. I know you guys all have each other right now, but you guys are going to have
02:56your own lives. Our mom talks often about her real story, how it all started. It wasn't how
03:03everyone thinks it was. My mom did everything in her power to protect her kids. The reason
03:09why we're doing all this is to get the truth out there. This is our story, the real one.
03:15You okay? Yeah, I'm good. Something you're thinking about in particular? Yeah,
03:22that it's been a long time to share my story. Okay, you can go. Go on.
