14 DAY TRIAL // Nadya Suleman wanted to redeem herself in the eyes of the public with the “Incredible Unseen Footage” two-hour special that aired on Fox the other day. Instead of that and aside from the fact that the special failed to get the kind of ratings she and the network might have hoped for, she only managed to make herself look worse by downright accusing Kate Gosselin of being a fake and admitting that she had messed up her kids’ lives with her decision to have so many of them, as Us Magazine can confirm.
OctoMom, as she’s been dubbed by the media, said before that she considered having the octuplets a “mistake,” for which statement she already got her fair share of criticism in the media. Now, with the two-hour special, Suleman seems to have fallen even more out of the good graces of the public, by saying that she knows she truly did make a mistake when she decided to have so many children.
“I screwed up my life, and I screwed up my kids’ lives. What the heck am I going to do... I have to put on a strong façade.” Suleman is seen saying in the documentary. Put together from bits and pieces shot by Radar Online in the months following the birth of the octuplets, the documentary also showcases the deep resentment she feels towards Kate Gosselin, star of “Jon & Kate Plus 8,” also not a stranger to controversy and criticism for several aspects in her personal life.
One of the things Suleman blames Gosselin for is being a fake and staging photo-ops to get more media attention. As it’s already common knowledge, OctoMom too is reportedly no stranger to such “practices,” often being willing to take her kids out to the park just to have the paparazzi snap pictures of her being an attentive and loving mother, as the paps themselves dished to the media a while back.
“It’s so staged.” Suleman can be heard saying when she sees photos of Kate Gosselin on the beach on vacation. “She’s doing it to get people to take pictures of her… I feel like it’s cheating [to get a tummy-tuck]. It’s her choice. If she has enough money to fix herself, let her. I have a better shape, though. I’m sorry, no offense to her… I’m not as attention-seeking [as Kate].” OctoMom further says.
