14 DAY TRIAL // It’s a virtual battle of the supermoms thanks to Radar Online, which presented Nadya Suleman with a taping of The Dr. Phil Show in which Kate Gosselin spoke her mind on the highly controversial OctoMom. Gosselin, who has 8 children, attacked Suleman, mother of 14, for being irresponsible and unable to cope with the situation, but OctoMom is not the one to back down without a serious fight.
You’re just picking on me to attract attention onto yourself, Suleman says towards the end of the interview, staring right into the camera as if speaking with Gosselin herself. She shows the same determination in shooting down every argument Kate brings to Dr. Phil as she did in past interviews as well: Nadya knows she did not make a mistake in having 14 children and, what’s more important, she doesn’t want to keep quiet when someone openly judges her without even bothering to know her first.
“She has her own obvious issues, internal issues. She needs to stop harshly making judgments towards me… That’s human nature, happens to people who are less educated. I surround myself internally and externally with positive energy. She does the opposite.” Suleman says when the interviewer asks her what she made of Gosselin’s sit-down with Dr. Phil. At the same time, OctoMom also questions Gosselin’s argument that she will not be able to handle raising 14 children just because she had it rough with 8: she has helpers and, so far, chaos has not reigned her life, Nadya Suleman says, which could make it so that Gosselin is actually the worse mother of the two for not coping with eight kids, despite also having a husband and plenty of helpers.
“She needs to stop being so judgmental and stop pulling at straws for attention. My children are extremely healthy, strong and happy. Don’t you have, like, a lot of issues in your life? A lot of marital problems?” Suleman says, looking into the camera and making a direct reference that Kate’s husband cheated on her just recently and their marriage is falling apart. “Why are you so desperate to glob on to my life? For attention?” OctoMom ads in the same video.
As we also reported yesterday, Nadya Suleman’s attorney confirmed the deal for a reality show starring her and her 14 kids was this close to being final. Still, the lawyer insisted, it would not be a reality show per se, but rather a documentary series that would later help Suleman see how all her children grew up, while also allowing her to tell her side of the story.
