In dire straits, Suleman resorted to extreme measures to support her massive family. In 2012, she starred in an adult film, Octomom Home Alone which won the title of “Best Celebrity S– Tape” at the Adult Video News Awards in 2013. The year also saw her posed semi-nude for Closer UK, raking in $8,000 — though supporting 14 children was reportedly costing her $9,000 monthly, per Today.
Not one to shy away from unconventional roles, Suleman appeared in the horror flick 666 the Devil’s Child in 2012, and even dropped a single with reality personality Adam Barta called “S— Party.” The mother-of-14 briefly worked as a stripper to keep her family afloat, acknowledging how far she strayed from her values in the process.
