[OT] Octo-mom...

[ExiledInIllinois]

From 1997 to 2006, Suleman was employed by a state mental hospital. She was disabled in a riot in 1999 and received disability payments totaling about $165,000 until those payments stopped during her pregnancy.

 

Crazy! Pun intended.

 

Wow that can be straight out of Nightmare on Elm Street... Hope one of the children isn't named "Freddie."

 

Change her name to "Amanda" and she could have a new book offer!

Now it comes out that - SURPRISE! - she lied to Ann Curry in her interview:

Nadya Suleman, the mother of the octuplets born last month, gets $490 a month in food stamps, the Los Angeles Times reported Monday evening. Three of her first children also get federal supplemental security income because they are disabled, the Times reported.

 

Suleman's publicist, Michael Furtney, confirmed the information.

 

During an interview with Ann Curry on the TODAY show, Suleman denied being on welfare. (Msnbc.com is a joint venture of NBC Universal and Microsoft.)

 

Suleman told NBC News correspondent Ann Curry in an interview that she was not receiving welfare. Furtney said Suleman didn't consider the food stamps and SSI to be welfare.

 

"In Nadya's view, the money that she gets from the food stamp program ... and the resources disabilities payments she gets for her three children are not welfare," he said. "They are part of programs designed to help people with need, and she does not see that as welfare."

So to recap - no job, lives with her parents, already has six kids, already receiving assistance, no father in the picture. Brilliant choice to have 8 more kids.

Suleman said she intends to go back to college in the fall to get a degree in counseling.
