From “mentally ill” to “abusive,” Natalie ‘Nadya’ Suleman, also known as ‘Octomom,’ is no stranger to cruel labels. As a mother-of-14, her life has constantly revolved around her kids, and the last thing she needs is the media’s unforgiving brutality. She has never quite been given the reins to take control of her own narrative — until now.
The film I Was Octomom: The Natalie Suleman Story has finally been released into the world, as of March 8, 2025, and viewers will now get to see Natalie for who she is, rather than who the Internet claims her to be.
Born in 1975, Natalie initially shot to fame when she gave birth to the first surviving octuplets in January 2009, conceiving them, as well as her six older children, via in-vitro fertilization (IVF).
