There's no doubt that Nadya "Octomom" Suleman has her hands full with a brood of 14 children, including toddler octuplets. But a recent article claiming the harried single mother "hates" her children has the La Habra, California resident "furious," says TMZ.Refutes Suleman:
"I hardly have 30 seconds to go to the restroom, I could never lock my self in the bathroom for hours. I Love ALL my children, I do not regret them and it's ridiculous that I have to continue to defend myself against these disgusting fabricated lies."
But, uh, that thing about Suleman appearing on a forthcoming reality romance show called "Celebridate,"--it's sadly true.
