Over the weekend, it emerged that OctoMom Nadya Suleman was fighting tooth and nail against a website that had uploaded photos from a seaside photoshoot. The pics were meant to show Suleman’s drastic weight loss and in what good a shape she was, just one year after giving birth to octuplets and were believed to cost a small fortune, wherefrom the legal war over them. Said pictures have emerged just minutes ago in Star Magazine, the Huffington Post reveals.

Asked before whether she had done anything to her body to shake off the pregnancy weight, Suleman denied going under the knife. Now, too, she insists she looks so incredibly fit and has such a tight abdomen thanks to hard work, some dieting and basically plenty of will power. She would never go under the knife to get a tummy tuck or anything else done to her body because that would feel like “cheating,” Suleman herself tells Star.

“Wow – just look at her now! Octomom Nadya Suleman – down to 120 lbs., from a whopping 270 – dares to bare in a stunning new photo shoot, published exclusively in this week’s Star. The mom-of-14 flaunts her new body just a year after her record-breaking delivery in a stunning set of bikini photos. Nadya shows what exercise and good diet can do in an eight-page special in the magazine, which hits newsstands today. And she insists there was no help from any plastic surgery,” Star writes.

“No way, I would feel like I cheated. I wanted to prove to myself that I can do it on my own, naturally. My friends call me Rubber Band because I always snapped back so quickly after my other kids!” Suleman says. “Star has exclusive photos of the 34-year-old frolicking on a California beach, exercising and spending time with her octuplets – six boys and two girls – who celebrate their birthday Jan. 26. And in a world exclusive interview, she talks about her personal life as well as details about what she eats and how she works out to maintain her newly-trim figure,” the tab goes on to say.

As reported over the weekend, the photos first emerged online, presumably following a leak. Attorneys for Suleman fought to have them taken down but too little avail. It’s common knowledge that exclusives of this type can earn one quite a hefty sum, and it is believed Suleman’s swimsuit shots actually went down in value because of the leak.
