Octomom Offered $1 Million to Do A Porn Movie: Sordid & Offensive

I haven’t really been following the Octomom story because, frankly, I don’t think it’s any of my business what she does. It’s a bit scary to know that Nadya Suleman has a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom apartment within which to raise 14 young children and babies. Is it really any of my business, though? My take on her is that she’s a woman who desperately loves her children.

Octomom is also in a very vulnerable situation right now – the buzz is that her living situation may cause the powers-that-be to prevent her from taking her new babies home from the hospital. Click here

In light of that horrific situation, Fox News reports that Vivid Video has offered her $1 million to do a porn movie. I have no idea how this will turn out but, it seems to me, that Vivid is preying on this desperate woman’s love for her children and, in so doing, is asking her to denigrate herself by having sexual relations with 8 men in this proposed movie project.

Please read the following passage – does this offend you as much as it offends me or am I just out of touch?

“The number eight is obviously heavily associated with her so we would like to work with that,” Vivid’s CEO Stephen Hirsch told Tarts. “But we would really love just to sit down and talk with her and come up with something she feels comfortable with. We want her to be involved with the whole thing from the plot line to the packaging.”

Hirsch says Suleman has received their offer and is considering it. Suleman did not return calls for comment.

“She’s struggling financially and this is a woman who wants to provide for her kids,” Hirsch said. “This way she can hold her head high and not be using taxpayers money to support her family.”

I ask again: Is anyone else outraged and offended by this sordid plan or is it just me? I’m not saying that this woman is a saint (I have no way of denying it, either) but she is a mother and this whole idea of capitalizing on her vulnerable situation by dangling $1 million in front of her is an insult to the institution of motherhood.
