Nadya Suleman told Oprah in 2010 that she’d never do a reality show, and being known as “Octomom” is akin to her being a “carnival attraction.”
A year later, it appears Suleman has changed her mind.
Suleman closed a six-figure deal with an unnamed production company—to star in her own weekly Web series on Ustream, the live-streaming site, TMZ reported last week. The series will air every Sunday beginning some time this month (the date is not given), and is titled “OctoTV.”
Suleman will discuss “parenting, fitness, diet, nutrition, shopping on a budget, and all those crazy rumors,” according to TMZ.
Since the announcement last week, fewer than 6,000 people have viewed the series promo, the only clip on the OctoTV Ustream channel.
Perhaps the public’s fascination with Suleman is over?
Suleman made headlines in 2009 by being the second woman in the United States to give birth to octoplets. Suleman was unemployed at the time, and the LA Times characterized her as “a lightning rod for criticism for the nation’s healthcare woes, the economic crisis and the medical ethics of in vitro fertilization.”
Dr. Kamrava, who implanted Suleman’s frozen embyros resulting in her octoplets, had his license revoked in 2011 for “gross negligence” and “an excessive number of embryo transfers.”
