00:00I am actually grateful for all the trials, tribulations, adversity.
00:04I didn't realize I could come out the other side of all of it, stronger and more resilient.
00:09That's Natalie Suleiman on TMZ Live, a.k.a. Octomom!
00:14The lady what was pregnant with eight babies at once!
00:17Sixteen years after she gave birth to eight children.
00:22At once.
00:23She already had six, but Octomom is having a resurgence.
00:27Yes, she's got a biopic and a docuseries on Lifetime!
00:31She came on TMZ Live, and really I think the most amazing thing about her having these 14 kids,
00:38who are all thriving now, is that she kept all of them.
00:42She said Child Protective Services did come to her house weekly.
00:46Every single time CPS came in, they never left.
00:50They never left the home without saying that I'm doing a great job.
00:56She didn't just raise them. These are really good kids. It's a tight family.
01:01We started this I Apologize Tour. I was wrong.
01:04So I apologize to you, and I also think you're remarkable.
01:08Thank you so, so much. That means a lot to me.
01:11Okay, but what do her kids think of that infamous slash terrifying pregnancy photo?
01:16One of my daughters, Kalissa, she laughs.
01:19She says it looks like something from the movie Aliens.
01:24Honestly, I applaud her. Good for her.
01:27Good for her.
01:28Good for her.
01:29Yes, congratulations! You proved us all wrong, Octobob.
01:33Thank you so much. This means a lot.
