As to how she afforded the IVF treatments? As I recall, she received a sizable settlement from a work comp injury, and that’s how she chose to spend the money. The injury appeared to be legitimate, she was injured in a riot while working at some kind of hospital or mental health care facility. Have her parents cut her off? Last I heard, a few months back, they were renting a house to her very cheaply and she was living high on the hog. Drinking starbucks, wearing designer clothing, and toting her accessories–erm, children–around town. ---

IIRC She and the first six were living with her Mom (The GMa). After the eight were born, the GMa moved out and said she was not going to be a party to this anymore. So, she has 29 remaining embryos - is her ex-husband the father of them all? ---

He says she wanted to do IVF after trouble conceiving during their marriage, but he didn’t want to, and they divorced before she had any IVF done. ---

And she never, ever said what she said in the In Touch Magazine interview. Good luck with the slander lawsuit - if you said it and they can prove it, I don’t think you’ll get far with that. What a nutbag. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/octomom-update-shes-still-a-piece-of-crap/587525.md?page=5)
