LOS ANGELES (AP) — Octuplets mother Nadya Suleman says she didn’t tell her sperm donor she was having more children after the first six, and fears his resentment for the betrayal.

In a video shot in a fondue restaurant and posted to the RadarOnline Web site Thursday, Suleman says she used frozen fertilized embryos left over from her first conceptions to become pregnant with eight additional children. The donor didn’t know she had the leftover embryos, she said.

“I went behind his back and used them all,” she says. “He didn’t want me to. I feel so much guilt for that.”

The videographer, identified by Radar as Suleman’s best friend, says at one point that the sperm donor has a wife and family. But Suleman warns her away from giving away too much about the man, adding that “he’d lose everything he’s created in his own life” if his identity was revealed.

Suleman says her older children are increasingly curious about who their biological father is. She refuses to identify him, saying she wants to protect his privacy, but also wants him “to somehow, privately, secretly know (the children) in a controlled manner.”

Dipping cheesecake into melted chocolate, Suleman confesses in the video to making some mistakes.

“I screwed myself. I screwed up my life, I screwed up my kids’ lives,” she says. “I have to put on this strong facade and I have to pretend like I don’t regret it.”

Suleman gave birth to the world’s longest-surviving set of octuplets on Jan. 26.

    i think the donor has a right to see those kids they are his

  2. dEEdEE says:

    She is absolutely i n s a n e !

  3. Jerry Jersey says:

    Let Her be. Stop interviewing Her. Enough is enough.

  4. what a nut! If the donor wants involvement, then let him. She needs all the help she can get.

  5. Jaimnic says:

    dEEdEE got it right she is out of her mind. Only if the DONOR wants to be involved should he be. She is screwing him here too, she totally lied to him.

  6. MeMyselfandI says:

    The donor shouldn’t even be in contact with her. If you think he has rights to see the kids then he is obligated to financially support them all.. and I mean all of them. Trust me, he don’t want too see them, it’s too overwhelming. The kids on the other hand wanting to see their father, well she should have had that plan worked out before she went and did this, she had planned pregnancies with all kids so why wasn’t this part in her plan? All she saw was reality show and money and since her first set of multiples weren’t enough, she went for the gusto. SHE IS INSANE!!

  7. Joe says:

    Glad she is enjoying a nice dinner and dessert while taxpayers are paying for her screw up.

  8. Yve says:

    Wow -

    What an awakening…

  9. rward says:

    What about the children? I truly think there is something wrong with this woman(seeking attention). I sure hope that DCF are watching her.

  10. Tony says:

    Someone once said you need a license to drive a car but anyone can have kids! Case in point!! And at this rate I can’t image what these kids will think of their mother in years to come. She does not appear to be stable enough to raise one kid on her own let alone 8! And someday when these kids really need someone solid in their lives. Where will they turn to? Just image being 13 and this woman is the only person you have to rely on! And you know 7 others need her as well. We can judge her all we want. But it should not be about her so much right now. It should what is best for those 8 kids. Sad story it is! I feel bad my tax money helped it happen.
