TV Star Fights With Octomom, Oscar Producers Downplay Oprah's Involvement & More TV News
When Octomom became a household word, people everywhere dreamed of what they'd say to Nadya Suleman, the outrageous single mom of multiples who was grabbing headlines for all the wrong reasons.According to MSNBC, Kristen Johnston -- best known for her role on '3rd Rock From the Sun' -- got the chance on a recent flight from NYC to L.A.
Apparently Octomom was having trouble keeping her 12 children quiet, even before the flight took off, and the outspoken Johnston was not gonna put up with it for the entire cross-country trip.
Suleman's rep told E!: "Nadya and her children were in business class ... apparantly Kristen became upset and came from 1st class to tell her to keep her kids quiet. They had an altercation and Kristen got off the plane and never returned. While Nadya had help from her friend and two older children, it's not easy to travel with one two-year-old let alone eight two-year-olds on a plane. She did the best anyone could."
When Johnston complained about the noise and asked Suleman to keep it down, Octomom reportedly snapped back: "How would you like me to keep eight 2-year-olds quiet?" Johnston didn't back down, replying (what most of us are thinking): "Get more help!" Johnston then got off the plane to find a different flight back to L.A.
