Octomom Home Alone Porn Video Sparks Further Backlash, Criticism
Octomom, aka Nadya Suleman, has sparked further controversy by releasing a porn video, which has now been made available. Pictures and previews surfaced last week, which caused strong backlash from those urging the mother of 14 not to be drawn into the world of adult entertainment to support her large family.
"Why Nadya? You have 14 kids looking up to you to see how they should live their lives, and look at what example you're setting them!" one blogger JoPsyches has said.
This is not the first time Suleman has attempted to use her body to support her family. She accepted $8,000 from British magazine "Closer" earlier this year to appear topless. Suleman explained her decision to do the controversial shoot to CNN's Anderson Cooper, saying, "I got $8,000. I have to do what I have to do to take care of my family, and I'm not ashamed. I'm not ashamed at all. I've never sacrificed my morals and values."
However, others would disagree: "Where have her morals gone? I understand the desperate need to look after her kids but that doesn't mean just throwing your values in the trash," JaneOLol has blogged.
Suleman also told Cooper: "I don't feel it's appropriate to burden [the kids] with that kind of stress. I do my best to have life for them every day as happy as possible. We play, we enjoy the moments we have together and that's all that really matters."
That $8,000 didn't fix her problem at for long though; Suleman has since told "The Today Show" that she had been accepting food stamps for months after her financial difficulties continued.
Suleman became known as Octomom in 2009 after she gave birth to octuplets, and they have gone on to become the longest surviving octuplets in the world. However, she controversially was implanted with 12 embryos, despite having six children already. Many have criticized her for being irresponsible for having so many children with no apparent means to take care of them. Her inevitable road into welfare benefits have only gone to prove her critics correct, and have angered many who feel regular hard working and responsible taxpayers are supporting her despite her irresponsibility.
Suleman has said she only takes welfare benefits because she is desperate – a response she has also given as to why she is delving into the adult entertainment industry.
