SakshiAn All-Consuming Persona
They say fame changes a person – whether they like it or not. And for Nadya Suleman, the media attention never really let up. Critics argue that Nadya wanted to be in the spotlight all along – that it’s the reason she even had all those children. Nevertheless, Nadya had to balance the Octomom persona with raising her 14 children! Over time, though, her persona began to consume her. Her pregnancy itself became a controversy, as Californians assailed Nadya for embodying taxpayer waste, irresponsibility and basically everything wrong with contemporary American society. She even received threats! Yet others adored her and her children.
