Is welfare in Octomom's future? Credit: Ray Tamarra, Getty Images
We live on a fragile planet that is only a rogue asteroid away from oblivion. We should cherish every ...
Oh, never mind that!
Somewhere out there, an unwed mother who had 14 children may be about to collect welfare. This may not be true, but you might want to start grinding your teeth now. Just in case.
Stories about Nadya Suleman -- you know, "Octomom" -- collecting welfare are zipping through cyberspace at warp speed. Newspapers across the country have picked up the story. Almost all of them trace their routes back to the same starting point -- the gossip site RadarOnline.
How does RadarOnline know Suleman is about to go on the public dole? They asked someone. And the someone they asked is an anonymous source, one reportedly close to Octomom.
What more evidence do you need?
The source tells RadarOnline that Suleman sincerely wants to do the right thing and support her family by parading her life in front of us for our amusement, but the deal for a new reality TV show fell through.
"She was hoping for merchandising deals, but those never came through," Mysterious Source tells the site. "And she's written a book but no publisher wants it."
Mysterious Source adds Octomom may go on welfare as a result.
"Nadya will never come out publicly and say she's going on welfare but everyone close to her and familiar with her situation knows that it's going to happen very, very soon," Mysterious Source says. "She needs the money. She has no choice at this point. And she's been on public assistance before."
Suleman, herself, has told the press she wants to stay off public assistance, go back to school and get a master's degree in counseling.
Mysterious Source says that's not going to happen.
"Nadya's parents have done a lot to help her despite their difficult relationship," he or she tells RadarOnline. "But they aren't rich and they're struggling, too. Her father bought the house but he can't support her. There's just no choice. She's running out of money and those kids need to eat."
Oh, and RadarOnline also reports Suleman is behind on her mortgage payments. Again.

LopHead said...Great she goes making kids like crazy to be on a show then blows the money she made and in turn, we tax payers will have to carry her and her stupid children for who knows how long. If I was the welfare worker I would tell her to go get a job and her husband. Http://www.savecreatively.com

Self Respect said...This is whats wrong with society! People have children then they can't take care of them. There are poeple out there that have a child get work full time while collecting no support fromt the other parent and can't make ends meet and need the help but it's people like this that ruin for the ones that truely need it. It sadens me to think this is what society has come to, basically it tells people quit your job we'll take care of you. SAD!!

Holly M said...You are so right! I am a single parent with no support from my bum of an ex and I share a house with my mother, I work full time, can't even afford my own vehicle and I somehow am not eligible for any help! I can't even afford to pay my damn student loans! lol If she gets welfare, someone needs to fire that caseworker!
