Nadya Suleman Signs On To Reality Show

Mom-of-14 Nadya Suleman - also known as "Octomom" - will soon be hitting the small screen.

Nadya's attorney confirms to US magazine that she has signed on to star in a "quasi-reality" show that will focus on her family life with the kids.

"[Nadya and the producers] are hoping to have an arrangement whereby several events in the children's lives would be filmed in a documentary series. One of the events in the children's lives might be their first birthday.”

The news may come as a bit of a surprise seeing as Nadya insisted as recently as last month that she would not be bringing in her brood to TV. Asked about a potential reality show by Life & Style magazine, she replied, "Absolutely not! I have no interest in being famous. I’d love to vanish from the public eye as soon as I can."

Nadya, 33, gave birth to octuplets in January. She also is mom to six other kids ranging in age from 2 to 7 years old.

Will you be watching Nadya's new show?

Nope I wont' watch. It's like watching a car wreak and doing nothing to help. I've got my own baby to look forward.

So what if she's got 8 babies? it doesn't mean she should drag them through the media, how discusting!!!

This has been bothering me for awhile. Why are people upset about the Gosselins and Nadya Suleman's show but yet I never hear any out cry about how the Duggars are exploiting their children. I just don't see a difference. I am genuinely curious if anyone can help explain this to me.

I will definitely not watch.

If viewership increased sharply for the "...Plus Eight" show once the "controversies" began, well, what does that say -- about the producers, the public, and the odds for the success of Nadya's show? Seriously ... Schadenfreude is jet fuel for the "reality" show ride to the bank. I shall try to resist the undertow and ignore the Suleman circus as I have the Gosselins and all the rest. :P

I will not be watching. If less of us would watch garbage like this, then perhaps they'd stop making these kinds of shows! Unfortunately, people are probably going to make this a hit show :P I wonder what'll be next.....

The Duggars are just as repellent as the Gosselins and the Octomom, if not more so. Every time you watch any of these shows you just encourage these families and the stations that enable them - please don't.

I will NOT be watching. I will not add fuel this fire. This woman has serious psychological problems.

and Lucia, I totally and completely agree with you.

Peta said:

No, I will not be watching. I never liked the idea of those shows from the beginning, and I'd be giving Nayda exactly what she wants - attention. I believe in my gut that this was her goal throughout her pregnancy and I will not help her attain it.

Dianna said:

Yep, I'll be watching! Why the heck not? The Gosselins don't work and support their brood by the same means why can't she? There is no difference. I just hope the money and freebies won't go to her head and make her greedy as it has Kate.

Amberella said:

grrrrreat! now she has more money for more plastic surgeries. life is so sweet....at least for her.

Dianna, Kate Gosselin also didn't have 8 kids after having 6 under 6 years old, and Kate Gosselin wasn't on welfare while getting in-vitro. Jon & Kate had twin 4 year olds, and then waited 3 years to have more. I don't really think there's anywhere you can compare the two.

Dianna said:

Unfortunately your facts are wrong. Do some research on the Internet and you'll see Nadya Suleman and Jon and Kate Gosselin are more a like than you think. We'll just have to agree to disagree.

Anonymous said:

Kate has never been on welfare and she did not have six children before having her sextuplets. What part of that needs to be researched?

Well obviously we won't agree, apparently you think Nadya's a good person. But that's ok, it's your tax dollars going to her, not mine :)

Dianna said:

I'm not going to turn this into a debate debates bore me. Never did I say Octo-mom was a good person (how do I know if she's a good person?).. I'm honestly looking forward to her train wreck of a life being on TV. As for Kate (whom you seem to know fairly well.. Kate! Is that you??!) do a little looking around on the net and you'll be surprised what you find out.
