Nadya Suleman, better known as ‘Octomom,’ is opening up about what it was like to become a mother of 14 back in 2009.

The 49-year-old star — who became a grandmother last year — said the birth of her octuplets, ignited ‘complete pandemonium.’

Suleman, whose babies were the world’s first octuplets to survive childbirth, told People she ‘received death threats,’ causing her to fear for her family’s life at the peak of her fame.

Her youngest eight children — Noah, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Jonah, Josiah, Makai, Maliyah and Nariyah — are days away from their 16th birthday on January 26.

Nadya gave birth to the group when she was already a mom-of-six to Elijah, 23, Amerah, 22, Joshua, 21, Aidan, 19, and twins Caleb and Calyssa, 16.

And after working to protect her brood over the last decade-plus, she and her family will once again let the public in as they ready a Lifetime movie and docuseries set to premiere on March 8 and March 10 respectively.

‘Today, my family and I are taking our life back,’ the proud parent told the outlet on Friday.

The movie is тιтled I Was Octomom while the docuseries is called Confessions of Octomom. Kristen Lee Gutoskie will portray Suleman in the upcoming film.

Nadya explained, ‘I’ve been saying, I want to keep them safe and protect my kids, and well, they’re older now. They’re turning 16 and making the decision to really do this.’

In the early aughts, she sought out ‘to have one more IVF procedure to try to complete my family of six.’

But once Beverly Hills fertility doctor Dr. Michael Kamrava implanted 12 embryos, Suleman became pregnant with eight babies.

Once her story made headlines, many people criticized the single mom for welcoming more kids after she was already struggling to care for her older six kids. 

‘There was of course all of the details of the death threats and fearing for my family’s life. And then on the other hand, I had to continue to sacrifice my integrity repeatedly to survive and provide for my family,’ Suleman recalled.

She appeared in an adult film and sometimes worked with magazines who published stories about her life in order to earn income.

‘It wasn’t until [the octuplets] were maybe about 4-years-old [that] I finally was able to escape all of that — the attack [it felt like was coming] from the world… and all that global scorn and condemnation,’ she confessed.

She described the harᴀssment she received from strangers as ‘misplaced hate.’

And the star, whose dark hair and full lips used to draw comparisons to Angelina Jolie, said when her youngest kids became toddlers, she ‘could escape and finally go back to the life I had once known before.’

What helped her crawl out of despair was her ‘faith,’ she says.

‘Eventually I just had to lean in really to my faith, my very strong faith in God. And it wasn’t until I did that, everything fell into place beautifully.’

As she prepares to relive her past with the renewed public attention, she said, ‘My kids are going to share for the first time. Also, my older kids are speaking in the public eye and they did not want to. And actually, I didn’t even want [to speak out] to be honest.’

But ultimately, she revealed, ‘The main reasons for me in sharing my true story, my perspective, is to help people.

‘To help women in particular who are struggling with one child or none, to maybe inspire them to pull out the strengths inside that they didn’t know they had to progress forward, to keep progressing in their life.’
