00:00Octomom

00:02This last from the past, you know, it is a blast from the past

00:06but there is a present for her and

00:08It is shocking to me because that picture is one that we got and we posted back in

00:162009 that was the first first time we saw her with with a children and I

00:24Remember thinking this is a train wreck of train wrecks

00:28She is never going to be able to raise these kids

00:32We thought the kids would be taken away from her that she had no

00:38No known ability to make money

00:41She went through all sorts of iterations trying to do that

00:45How would she support all these kids? She pulled it off pulled it off and here we are 16 years later

00:53And we've seen look at that family photos at that it is really really amazing

01:00It is so amazing that there is now a new docu-series

01:05That lifetime is doing about her as well as a film about her life

01:09scripted film and

01:11but the docu-series is what is really interesting because they

01:15explore something that happened in the aftermath of her giving birth to those eight children and that's

01:22Her fertility doctor a doctor

01:25Cam Ravo was his name, which is somebody we covered extensively because there was a ton of

01:32Criticism that you would implant that many embryos in somebody

01:38What hoping that some of them take but what if a bunch of them take and it was very

01:44Controversial at the time and as a matter of fact, he ended up losing his license, right?

01:49And in this

01:51Docu-series Nadia Suleman. That's her her name. Although we go by octo mom

01:57She actually is going by Natalie now. Really? That's actually a real name

02:01She changed it to Nadia, but she's going back to Natalie. Oh, yeah. All right. Well today here's what she had to say

02:09about that doctor and

02:11The role she played in what happened to him in the investigation while the investigation was going into

02:18What he had done. She says I do regret not suing the infertility doctor

02:23I definitely regret that because his insurance would have been the one paying and it would have been some millions and it would have been

02:31Helpful for my family. She's right. Yeah, I mean, although it's really interested

02:36I regret that I kind of threw myself under the bus to cover for him and I shouldn't have but I was grateful

02:42I got to say this this would be the most would have been the most fascinating lawsuit

02:47Because what she's saying on the one hand is I love my children

02:51I want to raise my children, but I'm upset that he gave me so many right and and that's it feels like on a level

02:59It's at odds keep it my two things what they're really not and by the way, we shouldn't we should mention

03:05That she has 14 kids, right?

03:07If she had six other kids right sides with the eight and so just the idea that this woman could come out on the other side

03:15raising healthy

03:17Happy children where it's a real family

03:22It is stunning. So here's a little clip from the doc. I'd love to explain what happened and why I became optimum. I

03:31Always wanted to be a mom. I wanted a big family

03:35I set my mind to achieving a goal. You know, I achieved that goal. I think I may have overachieved with being a mom

03:49So did you lie for dr. Kamrava I

03:54Think we all remember that

03:56Jarring photo of her being pregnant with her belly so massive and it looked very very painful

04:03And I think everyone just kind of assumed she was kind of this quirky lady that just wanted eight kids

04:09But when you really unpack the backstory kind of like what you guys talked about

04:14She already had six kids at the time that she would she got IVF for you know

04:19What she thought was gonna be only one additional child

04:22She had said that she always envisioned herself with seven children lucky number seven

04:28She grew up as an only child and wanted this big family

04:31Well, you know he the doctor actually implanted twelve embryos instead of the original eight that he had mentioned

04:38And by the way, the usual is two

04:42implantations

04:43So yeah, she definitely got a big family

04:46She did and and she did cover for him because my memories that he did he said that there were six

04:53Implanted do you remember the press conference? Do you remember the press conference at the hospital?

04:58With the doctor because initially do you remember this they were celebrating the birth right and

05:04all of a sudden I remember during the press it all turned and people started asking questions in the news conference and it just

05:13Devolved right everyone started asking what what happened here?

05:16How did this that's right and all of a sudden this celebration that the hospital had thrown is this news conference?

05:22they ended up saying we're done we're down and

05:25But here's the thing she struggled I mean she has done a

05:30Lot to make money to raise the family, but ultimately it worked a lot of the kids are vegan

05:37I think there's one special needs child and she's taking care of of that child

05:43She's done a remarkable job. So the documentary is gonna premiere in lifetime. We are gonna have

05:50She goes by Natalie now. We're gonna have her on on Friday on TMZ live

05:54I'm not Raven from from Alaska

05:57Why are the early odds coming back to haunt us between this and Casey coming back to social media?

06:03What is the ghost of Christmas past trying to tell us? It tells us there's hope that I mean, honestly, I I

06:12Absolutely believed these kids were gonna be taken away. Yeah, I I thought there's no way that this is

06:19Gonna have any kind of a happy ending and it did. Yeah, and I was wrong and I'm glad I'm wrong and

06:25I can't wait to see this. Yeah, can't wait to talk to her
