8 When Octomom, Nadya Suleman Appeared On Dr. Phil
The reason Nadya Suleman was invited to Dr. Phil was not merely because she had successfully given birth to the first surviving octuplets in 2009, but because she already had six previous kids and was jobless!
Being a single mom and not having a source of income to feed her kids, Nadya was asked whether the decision to make octuplets was her own. Dr. Phil questioned her ability to raise fourteen kids as a single mom, and Nadya’s pretty aggressive responses made her famous.
Dr. Phil supported her by stating that rather than judging Nadya, people should actually help her come out of this dire situation and be able to raise her kids efficiently.
Currently, she has a stable job as a counselor for patients with drug addictions, which has helped her meet her ends. Also, she got government assistance that made it easier for her to take care of 14 kids. She keeps posting on social media on regular basis and updates people about the happenings in her life!
