Nadya Suleman Tries To Spin Stripper Past

Octomom Nadya Suleman played coy about reports she once worked as a stripper in a new interview.

"The only thing I'm going to say is we all have a past," Suleman said in an interview Thursday on ABC Radio Networks' syndicated show, Big Boy's Neighborhood, "and I don't want to resurrect the dead . . . It's dead...but no, not like as a career or job. Not like that."

Suleman's comments came in response to a National Enquirer report that the mother of the 14 had once worked as a stripper.

The magazine quoted a close friend of Suleman's revelation of her past.

"I was 18 and at a very investigative stage of my life . . . I had not even kissed a boy," Suleman had allegedly confided in her friend, according to the Enquirer. "But I entered a dance/lingerie contest in a club near my home. I danced and paraded in lingerie. Then, when I was 19, I went to a gentleman's club and performed as a topless dancer."

She reportedly realized that closer physical contact with patrons was expected, and balked.

"I only did it one night," Suleman reportedly said. "I quit when I found out I was expected to perform lap dances on the customers."

On Thursday's radio interview, Suleman talked about her state of mind when she decided to add eight babies to her brood that already included six children.

"I was thinking with my heart, not my head," Suleman said to host Big Boy.

When asked if her friends and family thought her choice was wise, Suleman responded, "Everybody, even the donor, he was like, are you crazy?"

She quickly clarified: "Crazy in the sense that I'm doing something out of the norm. Not crazy like mentally ill or anything. Just crazy like you're different from everyone else. Why would you do that?"

Later Thursday, Suleman brought two more of her octuplets home from the hospital. The arrival of Makai and Jeremiah brings to twelve the total number of children in Suleman's care at her four-bedroom home.

The scene was markedly calmer than that which met her last week when she brought her first two babies home. In contrast to the throngs of photographers and curious onlookers, Thursday's trip home from the hospital drew only three photographers, La Habra police Lt. Tom Dutton told the Associated Press.

"The first time we were not notified and were taken a little off-guard by the media frenzy," Dutton told the AP. "We finally had dialogue with a representative of the family, an attorney, and were able to prepare for this."

Dutton told the Associated Press police closed Suleman's street, "so we didn't have any paparazzi jumping on her vehicle."

That crazy cow is full of it. And she is starting to believe that she is really a celebrity, instead of a freak show.
