Though she said she would never repeat mistakes of the past, not long ago, Nadya Suleman, the 36-year-old mother of 14 (yes, fourteen children), was again in a swimsuit on the pages of a magazine. For some reason, she’s now showing off her pregnancy scars for the cameras.

Suleman’s financial problems have been well documented in the press, with the much-ridiculed Octomom often resorting to the most “unorthodox” methods of making a buck, such as posing for dubious magazines in a swimsuit.

The latest such photospread generated some speculation as to the amount of Photoshop she needed on her tummy to make her look good, especially since Suleman claims not to have had any surgery after delivering the octuplets.

Perhaps this was the reason she decided to just lift up her t-shirt and show off her scarred tummy for the cameras just recently.

The Daily Mail says that the photos were taken shortly after a “celebrity” boxing match Suleman participated in over the weekend. They’re meant to show the results of her controversial pregnancy.

“She managed to lose her baby weight in mere months following the birth of her octuplets. But Nadya Suleman, who delivered her eight babies via C-section, still bears a reminder of her high risk pregnancy,” the Mail writes.

“The 36-year-old mother of 14 revealed stretched and scarred skin on her lower stomach and sides at a boxing match over the weekend,” adds the tab.

Most likely, this is Suleman’s way of shutting down reports that she’s spending most of the money she should spend on her 14 kids on plastic surgery, including a tummy tuck for the extra skin left after giving birth to the octuplets.

In fact, a while back, when she was still in the good graces of the public, Suleman even criticized Kate Gosselin, another famous mother of many children, for getting plastic surgery on her abdomen after giving birth.

Though Gosselin “cheated” by seeking help from a plastic surgeon, Suleman still had the better body of the two, Octomom said at the time.
