US Weekly has an exclusive interview with Octuplet mom Nadya Suleman. It sounds like they were questions a paparazzo asked her on her way out of the house. Suleman’s quick answers are still revealing. She comes across better than she has in previous interviews, which is likely due to the fact that you can’t hear or see her and she doesn’t have much time to incriminate herself. She still manages to contradict previous statements she’s given. She calls the supposed single sperm donor for all her children, “David Solomon,” an “amazing friend,” although she told Hello! Magazine she only talks to the guy once a year. Reports that she is in love with him are false, she claims.
Another comment Suleman makes is that her mom will “probably lose” the house, and that the foreclosure payments are up to her. She says she’s looking for a place of her own and that it is not likely her mother will come with her:
Us: Is everyone OK? There are reports that your home is in foreclosure.
Suleman: Yeah, [mom Angela] will probably lose it. I mean, that’s up to my mom. She’s dealing with that. I’m looking for my own place.
Us: Will you live with your mom?
S: No. She doesn’t want to live with me. I really shouldn’t be talking to you at all.
Us: I saw your dad gave an interview to Oprah. Why didn’t you?
S: I really wish he didn’t. I would have liked to go on Oprah — since her audience is mainly female, I think it would have heightened things so much more. You know, it would have been way more emotional. Especially if what I said was taken out of true meaning. So, I didn’t think going on would be good for me.
Us: Are you moving into the multi-million dollar home that’s been all over the Internet?
S: No. That was just for the interviews.
Us: How was it talking to Dr. Phil?
S: He was surprisingly very nice and fair, but I really shouldn’t be talking to you.
Us: Have you spoken to David Solomon [the sperm donor for your 14 children]?
S: Look, I don’t talk about him. I want to protect his privacy.
Us: It’s being reported you two met at your job at Metropolitan Hospital.
S: I haven’t spoken to him at all.
Us: Report say he’s handsome. Are you guys planning a big reveal together?
S: I will say this. We were friends. He is an amazing friend. Strictly platonic, all the lies saying I am so in love and wanted him to leave his wife written in the National Enquirer are totally false.
Us: If you wanted this privacy, then why did you write his name on the birth certificates?
S: Actually I wasn’t going to, but the nurses kept pressing me on it. So, I did, but then afterwards, I thought I shouldn’t have done that. I didn’t even know his birthdate. I just guessed. Then I started leaving it blank.
Us: I saw you went shopping at M.A.C. the other day. Must be nice to get out and break away from your regular routine.
S: Yes, I took my daughter for a girls’ day out and needed some lip gloss and stopped by M.A.C. But, they gave me the wrong color. Everyone started approaching me in the store asking me how I was going to afford my kids and stuff. Some were really nice.

Was Octomom even invited on Oprah?
If Suleman wanted to go on Oprah, I wonder if she wasn’t invited or if she declined. You can’t tell from the weasel way she words he answer if she said no to Oprah or if she wasn’t asked. On one hand she says she would have been an amazing guest but at the end she tries to insinuate she turned Oprah down without actually saying that. “I would have liked to go on Oprah… it would have been way more emotional… I didn’t think going on would be good for me.” My guess is that Oprah wanted to cover the story but realized the actual Octomom was way too polarizing a person and invited her dad instead. Oprah probably didn’t want to court that kind of controversy by featuring Nadya despite the anticipated ratings.
It seems unfair that Nadya would let her mother lose the house she gave her to live in with her children, especially if Nadya has money coming in now from interviews and picture licensing. According to MSNBC’s The Scoop, it is Nadya’s mother Angela who is working out the deals for licensing for the family photos. Maybe Angela is making some money from this sad affair after all. One report has TMZ paying $22,000 just for the pregnant with octuplets photo. It’s possible that Angela won’t lose the home in which she raised her grandchildren, but it also sounds like she doesn’t want to stay there and wants tp start fresh somewhere new.
Nadya doesn’t seem to mind if her children lose their primary caregiver. She’ll just keep justifying everything in her mind, spending and living how she wants and never noticing the state of her children’s chaotic lives. Except now she has a lot more people enabling her to live that way instead of just her parents.
Here is Nadya Suleman getting Starbucks yesterday after she returns home from the hospital, where she spent five hours with her premature octuplets. One thing I noticed from these photos is that Octomom’s toenails are painted. Of course they are.
