Her Growing Fame
Nadya had already been a media sensation before her octuplets were born, with news networks, websites, and newspapers all reporting on her unique pregnancy. People began to recognize her, and practically everyone, even those who didn’t know her real name, knew her as Octomom. Nadya sought to keep control of the story and the different reports about her, and she pondered leveraging the attention to help support her huge family financially. She recruited a team to handle her public relations after the delivery of her octuplets in the hopes of being able to control the tale that was shared with the public, but this proved to be a challenging assignment.
A Pubic Persona
After giving birth to her octuplets, Nadya received the same amount of media attention, garnering her a barrage of detractors who accused her of seeking attention and even claimed that this was the underlying reason she wanted to have all of her children despite the risks she took. In the meantime, Nadya was consumed with adjusting to her new public character while still raising fourteen children! Over time, she learned that dealing with her popularity got increasingly challenging. Nadya was accused of wasting taxpayer cash and encapsulating virtually everything that is wrong with modern America by Californians, and she was even threatened!
