'I had to kill Octomom to save my life.' Mother-of-14 Nadia (now Natalie) Suleman tells of her shame over stripper and porn past - but says she has turned her life around and has no regrets

Controversial mother of 14 Natalie Suleman has told how she was forced to 'kill off' her 'vile' Octomom persona in a bid to save her life and focus on raising her children. 


Suleman - formerly known as Nadya - revealed to DailyMail.com how she is deeply ashamed of the 'dehumanizing and exploitative' work she did as a celebrity porn star and stripper to make ends meet. And she became so disgusted with herself that she ended up 'numbing' the pain with prescription drug Xanax. The 41-year-old believes she would have died of an overdose if she hadn't quit that line of work in 2013 and left her Octomom days behind her. She now wants to set the record straight about her past and show the world how her octuplets - now seven-years-old - are well-adjusted and thriving.
