Fox To Air Octomom Special

Today Fox announced that later this month they’ll be airing a special about “Octomom,” Nadya Suleman. The woman made a name for herself after giving birth to octuplets, rounding out her offspring count to fourteen. That, added to her financial troubles and the question of whether or not an unemployed woman should’ve been a candidate for in vitro fertilization has given plenty of people reason to speculate over the woman’s life. Fox is delivering answers with a special called Octomom: The Incredible Unseen Footage, which is set to air Wednesday, Aug. 19 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT).

Through this never-before-seen footage, viewers will be able to witness the emotional struggles, physical complications and financial burdens of this single mother of 14. From the day the octuplets were born, cameras had unprecedented access to every area of Suleman’s life. For more than seven months, cameras documented Suleman, capturing incredible footage, including the private moments and reactions of Suleman’s family, as well as Suleman’s own feelings, doubts and fears.

Given this special and Suleman’s reality TV show deal is likely going to secure the woman and her kids financially for a long time. In the meantime, interested viewers will have a chance to see what it was like for Suleman and her family as she went through the ordeal.
