'Octomom' accepts public assistance - UPI.com LA HABRA, Calif., April 5 (UPI) -- Nadya Suleman, the "Octomom," admitted Thursday to accepting California food stamps, saying, "I feel ashamed." Suleman said for the past two months, she has received $2,000 a month in food assistance from the state of California to feed her 14 children. "I feel ashamed, but who cares how I feel," she told NBC's "Today" show. It's 100 percent about my children. She recently posed topless for a British magazine for $8,000; however, she refuses to do pornography even if someone offered her "100 million dollars." "I won't touch other human flesh," she said. I will not lose my grip of my deeply indoctrinated morals and values. She is also creating an online venture called "Octomom TV" as well as working for "Dial-A-Star" which allows people to talk to celebrities. "My priority is my children -- their health, their well-being, their safety," she said.
