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?
None of them, apparently. 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.
There’s a big surprise - her oldest kids are obviously doing a lot of taking care of the octuplets. 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.
