OCTOMOM ON THE DOLE

Octomom Nadya Suleman is now being supported by taxpayers.

The mother of 14 has gone on gone on welfare and is getting $2,000 a month for food from the State of California.

In 2010, a year after giving birth to octuplets, Nadya vowed never to go on welfare, saying she refused to become “a self-fulfilling prophecy” by accepting government assistance. A family of 15 needs to make less than $119,000 a year to qualify for benefits. Nadya, who was recently paid $8000 to pose topless in a British magazine, says since the welfare news broke she’s been receiving death threats.

I hate [that word]. I hate it. It follows you around, but you don’t deserve it. It’s like, ‘Why?'”

He added, “I’m just me. I’m just Zac. Just Zac.”
