'Octomom' Files for Bankruptcy; Nadya Suleman Turns to Adult Film Industry

Nadya Suleman, seen here in a file photo from late last year, is reportedly set to star in a masturbation video.

SANTA ANA, Calif. -- "Octomom" Nadya Suleman filed for bankruptcy Monday, saying in a court filing that she has as much as $1 million in debt.

"I have had to make some very difficult decisions this year, and filing Chapter 7 was one of them," Suleman said.

The La Habra mother of 14 reports up to $50,000 in assets in federal court filings, which means she owes more than 20 times her net worth.

Suleman is filing Chapter 7 bankruptcy, which means a court-appointed trustee would liquidate her assets to pay off creditors before she is discharged from most of her debts.

Among others, Suleman owes money to her father, the city's water department, DirecTV and Whittier Christian School, where at least some of her children are students.

Suleman also owes more than $30,000 in rent payments on her four-bedroom house.

The home's owner, Amer Haddadin, says his own credit has suffered as he allowed the home to go into foreclosure proceedings by not making the mortgage payments.

A foreclosure auction that was scheduled for Monday has been postponed for a week.

Suleman was in financial dire straits before the January 2009 birth of her octuplets brought her notoriety.

In 2009, Suleman declined a million-dollar offer to appear in pornography -- but now she's changed her mind.

TMZ reported that Suleman signed up to make a solo masturbation video for an adult entertainment company.

Suleman reportedly "doesn't consider a masturbation video porn, because it's a solo mission."

She has vowed in the past never to get into pornography, but she has made $10,000 for posing topless.

All Suleman's children were conceived through in vitro fertility treatments. Her octuplets are the world's longest-surviving set.

Sadly, Nadya is going the route of the 'worlds oldest profession'. She seriously could not work a fulltime job, because all of her check would not even cover day care for this many kids. I'm guessing she needs about $100K a year to support her children (food alone is probably about $3,000 a month). She may have a BA, but her working experience is very limited (worked as an orderly at a hospital). This is such a sad spiral for her. I do feel that she has serious mental health issues.

I get so depressed reading all the christian"s comments here. Any body tried to catch the hackers that ruined her website? Anybody ever tried to give her a job anywhere? How about the view? Any body ever considered offering her any work? It is kind of like a prisoner gets out and the world expects him to get a job but no one will hire the guy from prison, so he gets so broke he has to break the law again.

Nadya cannot work a 9 - 5 job with that many children. She could not even afford day care for them all (even with subsidized daycare...seriously). She has to do what she has to do to put food on the table.

Never ask them to show you their "works" for situations like this. I suspect you'll be disappointed.

They think they're off the hook for good works once they've judged someone unworthy.

Masturbation video? Get real. Her money shot will be the video with eight men. Literally.

Laughing, scoffing, etc. the "children" are the innocent ones here, but I guess people just don't care about that huh? Also, who's to say that since she's already done a semi-nude video, that she won't go even further and might not be able to stop herself in the long run? I wish to God/Jesus Christ that people would think about "the children and the consequences of their actions", before they did stuff like this. Also, I hope she puts the money to good use by perhaps, starting her own business (she does have a degree) and not going any further in the long run. Sad and shameful all the way around.

Maybe if she hadn't spent all that money on freaking plastic surgery (and I mean Freak) she would have a little nest egg! She could feed a small village with her lips alone.....fame seeking tart!

Perhaps if she'd practised masturbation more, she wouldn't have eight mouths to feed...

I don't believe this story. She promised us that she would never ever do a porno movie and I trust that she is a woman of her word. She also promised that she would never seek public assistance and she hasn't done-- uh-oh. She DID go on public assistance and she is about to do porn. What a gal!

If she had a NORMAL MENTAL MIND
she would have thought about that before having all those children

And who in there right mind would want to see her in a porn movie
