Single benefits mum-of-TEN who has ‘never used a condom’ slams public for judging her after TV doc

A SINGLE mum-of-ten who has “never used a condom” has slammed internet trolls who judged her after a TV documentary.

Sonya O’Loughlin was bombarded with criticism on social media after she appeared in Me and My 10 Kids: Mega Families on Channel 5.

Sonya, who relies on benefits and lives in a four-bedroom council flat in Southampton, has just welcomed baby number 10, and said she's "never used" protection.

But she has blamed documentary makers for twisting the truth and making her look like she “slept with ten men just to have ten kids”.

After the show aired on Tuesday, people started negatively commenting on Sonya about having ten kids on the benefits system.

CRITICISM

She told The Sun Online: “I’ve received a lot of criticism from people on the internet and have been slated for everything I’ve said since it came out.

“Some people who have commented about me haven’t even watched it. It’s like 'watch the show' before you start judging me.

“All people read is the bloody headlines and then comment on it, people don’t know what they're talking about - they know nothing.

It’s not their place to judge. Apparently I’m hurting people because everybody works and I don’t work. It's like don't judge me. People just expect me to struggle.

After watching the show herself, Sonya criticised the documentary makers for “twisting the truth” by leaving in clips she asked to have removed.

She added: “I think that how the show made it look was not like how they told me it was going to look.

“I was like 'why have they done it like that' when they told me it wasn’t going to be like that.

TWISTED THE TRUTH

“When I watched it they had put things in that I had asked them to take out and they said they would but blatantly didn’t.

“They have basically twisted the truth.

“It's a shame because my kids loved doing it, we all enjoyed doing it, but how it comes across is like I had slept with ten guys to have ten kids.

“I think it’s all a joke.

“It was meant to be about my everyday life with ten kids, but turns out to be basically I just sleep around to have kids for benefits."

Sonya currently looks after Nicola, 19, Leah, 17, Shannon, 16, Keon, 14, Erin, 13, Kye, 10, seven-year-old Cana, five-year-old Lewis, one-year-old Lexi and a baby boy.

She said on the show: “Some people say they're allergic to condoms. I can't say that because I've never used one.”

Sonya said that her kids take turns to eat as they only have three bowls and wash their faces and brush their teeth in the kitchen due to a blocked bathroom sink.

Sonya - who receives £460 in child tax credit each week - explained: "I have to buy everything in bulk.

"My money all goes on the children. It goes in their bellies and for anything else I can afford to pay for them. It never goes in my back pocket."
