Octomom Definitely Receiving Government Assistance at Deceiver.com

Octomom Definitely Receiving Government Assistance
By Holly Won't

Nadya “Octomom” Suleman — unemployed mother of 14 and most recently octuplets — is pretty much batshiz crazy, it turns out.

Some blogs are pointing to evidence of what appears to be her obsession with Angelina Jolie, including the impression that she’s had plastic surgery to slim her nose and fill out her lips. Oh yeah, and the baby collecting.

But there is one important distinction between AJ and Octomom: the ability to afford to adequately feed and clothe their families.

Octomom swore to Ann Curry during their sitdown last week that she doesn’t receive government assistance:

“I’m not receiving help from the government. I’m not trying to expect anything from anybody.”

She went on to call money “superfluous.” Except, of course, when the welfare checks start showing up, according to her publicist (how she is paying for one is beyond me):

Nadya Suleman, 33, has previously insisted that she will not be claiming benefits, however her publicist has since confirmed that she already receives food stamps and child disability payments to help feed and care for her six other children.

‘In her view these are just payments made for people with legitimate needs and are not, in her view, welfare,’ said publicist Mike Furtney.

‘She just believes that there are programs for people with needs and she and her children qualify for some of them.’


I am not anti-welfare by any means, but surely mothers who voluntarily elect to undergo in vitro fertility treatments do not count as “people with needs.” Amiright?
