Did she seriously screw up?
It’s been several months since Farrah Abraham’s historic boot from MTV’s Teen Mom OG. Although many believed she would fall to the wayside and become irrelevant after she stopped appearing on one of MTV’s most successful programs, she hasn’t wasted any time making headlines since her departure.
It seems that Farrah will remain relevant for years to come, but not for the best reasons. Instead of her accomplishment or praise being her claim to fame, she’s instead made headlines for scandal after scandal.
Now, fans are shocked to see that she may have gone even farther than expected. Has Farrah just been busted giving her nine-year-old daughter Sophia alcohol?
Be sure to keep reading to watch a video of Farrah speaking out about her recent scandal!
History of Scandal
Farrah Abraham has been a controversial figure ever since her days on 16 and Pregnant. From the beginning, fans have either loved her or hated her, but one thing has stayed consistent: her ability to get involved in massive scandals.
What put Farrah on the map was her decision to shoot an adult entertainment video with adult star James Deen and market it as a leaked tape when Teen Mom halted production in 2012. Even though she’s stuck to her story that the tape was filmed in private and accidentally leaked, no one is buying her story.
When Amber Portwood was released from jail and Teen Mom OG began to film, there were only three girls on the roster. Because of Farrah’s decision to release her video, the producers decided to only include Maci Bookout, Catelynn Lowell, and Amber Portwood in the reboot. However, only a few episodes in, Farrah was reunited with the rest of the cast… even if they weren’t particularly happy about it.
That was far from the last of Farrah’s scandals. From starring in adult cam shows to her sometimes questionable parenting decisions, she’s made headlines year after year for bad news. Now fans are wondering if this action takes the cake.
The fact that Farrah’s daughter Sophia even has an Instagram account is considered scandalous by many. Even though Instagram users must be 13 to have an account, Farrah managed to bypass the rule by alleging that she is the one managing and posting on the account.
Sketchy Pic
Farrah and Sophia have been sharing many pictures of their travels in the Dubai, but one caught her fans’ attention immediately. “This should never end,” Sophia (aka Farrah) captioned this shot of her drinking a bubbly gold liquid out of what appears to be a small champagne glass. Even though it’s not clear what she’s drinking, many didn’t put it past Farrah to give her daughter alcohol.
“I hope thats Apple juice smh,” wrote Instagram user @shinning_sammy92. User @ladylada7 wrote, “I can TOTALLY see her letting her child drink champagne or something. It's Farah we're talking about. She lives on planet dilusion.” User @lilmamasocal6 agreed, “Knowing farrah that’s champagne.”
But not everyone was so sure. “Right, like farrah’s going to allow her young daughter to drink alcohol, you haters are just so f*cking ridiculous it’s untrue,” wrote @amybernicexo. User @lauralacey.smith jumped to Farrah’s aid, writing, “Jesus christ people u really think @farrah__abraham would be that stupid she would give @sophialabraham alcohol?? Its probably fizzy apple ade. Who knows and tbh why should u lot even care? It's not like u know any of them personally.”
Back Off!
But Farrah just doesn’t see things the same way. In 2016, when Sophia was seven, Farrah defended her decisions to Radar Online. “I’m right there,” Farrah said. “Seven-year-olds are lighthearted when it comes to Snapchat. If she wants messages and she’s hyper then good for her before bed time.”
This concern came up with fans again recently when Sophia was caught talking with grown men on Instagram live. “Farrah lets Sophia Instagram live unsupervised with thousands of strangers,” wrote reddit user h974974, sharing an image of Sophia streaming on social media. They added, “Some [of the viewers] clearly seem to be pedophiles.”
In the screen capture, there are many seemingly harmless comments, including “Hi from France say ‘bonjour,’” and “You sound like your mom.” But even in this one screen grab, there’s one comment that’s quite alarming: “Hi you are hot,” reads a message from one user. And that’s not Farrah’s only offense when it comes to her social media activities.
It’s not just Sophia’s social media presence that has fans worried… it’s also what she’s exposed to. Farrah recently came under fire for allowing Sophia to film and watch her NSFW plastic surgery procedures.
When Farrah shared this video of her getting injections in her butt, fans thought it was just another classic Farrah overshare. That is, until they spotted her daughter Sophia in the background apparently filming the entire process! Fans across the board were disturbed by Farrah’s choice.
“Sophia is an accessory as far as Farrah’s concerned,” wrote reddit user emdee39 about the update. “The sad part is that I’m not even shocked by her awful parenting decisions anymore. What can you do? Nobody will ever convince her that she’s wrong.” User KellyBees wrote, “This makes me sad. It doesn’t seem right. I’m all for sharing the world and being open with your child, but this feels gross. Sophia should be in school, learning about the world, reading fun books, playing with friends, and growing as a little human. Instead, she’s busy filming her Mom getting needles in her butt to plump it up. Her expression makes me think she’s not happy about it either.”
Tuning In
If fans were upset by this, they were about to be completely disgusted by Farrah’s next update. Farrah recently announced she would be livestreaming her labiaplasty surgery, but no one expected Sophia to be tuning in!
“What in the actual f*ck. This isn’t funny anymore. Farrah’s f*cking insane,” wrote reddit user lolalololita of this news. User BeerNCheesePlz wrote, “Ugh [Farrah is] seriously the worst person ever, and she’s going to claim that this is all for empowering women or something something sex shaming or whatever words she slaps together in an attempt to sound like an activist. Just stop.”
Farrah may have made some questionable decisions regarding Sophia lately, but she’s also made some of her own mistakes. She was recently slammed for flashing her naked crotch to the paparazzi during the Cannes film festival! In fact, some pretty big names called her out, including movie star and comedian David Spade.
Flashed!
“I’m scrolling through the internet. There’s Farrah Abraham at the cannes film festival. WHAT?! Remember when the cannes film festival meant something, it was a big deal? What is happening? … Let’s be honest, this chick? Bless her heart. She wears a dress that’s specifically made to see her cooch? Because that’s the way the dress is made and I’m holding it open!” (Then he makes some less-than savory remarks about Farrah’s “cooch.”) But David was just one of many voices who believe that Farrah’s alleged “mistake” could really just be a way for her to get her name back in the headlines.
“I have to agree with David spade,” wrote reddit user misspriss91. “I thought the Cannes was something very exclusive and fancy.What kills me is that this is completely unnecessary. That dress is really pretty and she would’ve looked a million times better if she would have not pulled her dress back and made sure everything was secure.” User GrayScale15 wrote, “She wants to be relevant so bad.”
But some defended Farrah. User disenchanted_elle wrote, “Who the f*ck does david spade think he is anyway? This whole thing is so gross on his behalf. He's like what 50 years old using his 'star power' on instagram to pick on a 26yr old woman. His comments on the appearance of her v*gina are disgusting. This post says more about him than Farrah... He's pathetic.” User iamthejury agreed, “Pretty dumb when people make fun of how her v*gina looks, then in the same breath wonder why she got surgery done on it. The ‘meat flaps’/big v*gina jokes over on his page are disgusting. Women are supposed to have labias.”
Farrah’s flash to the paparazzi may have gotten her some big-name attention, but it was far from the last of her scandals. She and several of her Teen Mom co-stars have recently been accused of promoting eating disorders to their fans!
New Pops!
Farrah started the scandal when she shared a snap of her highly controversial new product! “#ad I’m so excited to tell you guys about what’s already my new favorite thing; @flattummyco's appetite suppressant lollipops! 🍭I seriously don’t know how they did it, but they’re super yum and only have 35 calories with no artificial flavours or preservatives. I just grab one when I’m starting to feel hungry in between meals and they completely hold me over until my next meal. I’m obviously going to be carrying these around with me all summer 💁🏽. Ladies if you haven’t yet…you should really check them out! #flattummypops,” she wrote.
She’s not the only one touting these new pops. “#ad I’ve really been liking @flattummyco’s new lollipops that just dropped this week. They’re designed to suppress my appetite, and I find they’re already started working. Over the past couple days whenever I felt like snacking, I’ve been reaching for these lollipops instead, andI find I’m not eating anything else between meals. You gotta get your own. #suckit #flattummypops,” reads one of Jenelle Evans’ recent Instagram posts. Another reads, “#ad I never thought I’d see the day that @flattummyco came out with LOLLIPOPS as a way to help keep my stomach looking flat, but they did! Since I have a massive sweet-tooth and I’m pretty much always chasing one of my kids around, this is pretty much the best it can get for me (yummy and convenient)! I get to have lollipops, keep my appetite in-check, and continue to work towards my goals for a fit + toned tummy. Yep, my cravings can #suckit. You guys should try these out with me - berry is definitely my favorite! #flattummypops.”
Even Mackenzie McKee got in on the party, sharing a snap of her in workout gear with a lollipop in her mouth. She wrote, “#ad I wasn’t sure what to expect when @flattummyco came out with appetite suppressant lollipops but I figured they’d be good. Turns our they’re soooooo good! It’s been about a week and I tend to use mine between lunch and dinner (that’s when I found I was reaching for snacks as often as my kids) you know, just something to hold me over until dinner. And since I started using them, I haven’t been reaching for extra snacks and my stomach is already looking better. You gotta check them out for yourselves. #flattummypops.”
This isn’t the first time that the cast members have promoted a product meant to help consumers slim down, and it’s also not the first slightly suspect product they’ve touted, either. But fans are concerned about some of the language in their promotional captions, as some believe they promote unhealthy or even disordered eating habits!
Not Cool!
User @theheatherashley wrote, “WEIGHTLOSS PSA: Appetite suppressants aren’t how you lose weight, they’re how you gain anorexia. Your body NEEDS food to fuel it’s body or it will eat itself to make sure you don’t die. When it starts eating itself, your metabolism lowers, working against future weightloss.” User @kelseyfeldman agreed, “If you’re hungry then you should eat. This isn’t something to promote especially to the younger audience you have.” User @carrie.b.nongkhlaw even wrote, “Let’s take action guys as responsible adults!!!! REPORT THIS TO IG ASAP!!!!! The more people report the more IG WILL REMOVE!!! THESE types of INSENSITIVE ADVERTS are the reasons why kids have eating disorders!!!!” And @0711_v wrote, “as an influencer, you should be ashamed of yourself. these kinds of stuff leads to eating disorders.”
Fans on reddit were quick to sound off as well. “I haven't looked into the lollipops themselves, but maybe I'm an idiot because it seems like a good idea? I'm definitely someone who eats when I'm bored so it might be helpful in that way,” wrote reddit user withyaboyfriend. User groblins pointed out, “jenelle commented, ‘No one is encouraging anyone to not eat. There’s no problem with encouraging things like this that help people get past unnecessary snacking, or eating out of boredom like a lot of people do.’ which is a pretty good answer coming from her tbh.” But user deniedbydanse retorted, “It’d be a good idea if it were regulated (God knows what’s in it) and prescribed by a doctor, but sold like this it’s famous people saying ‘I’m hot and skinny because I use this/skip meals and not because I have a ton of money for personal trainers/health teams/surgery.’ It also generally tells the girls who look up to them not to eat to see their results, which can be a dangerous message to send.”
Even “The Ashley” of The Ashley’s Reality Roundup got in on the conversation. She tweeted, “Isn't it amazing that basically every reality TV star discovered their love for appetite suppressant lollipops ON THE SAME DAY!? #miracles.” Teen Mom OG’s very own Simon Saran, ex boyfriend of Farrah, classily replied, “They better start sucking that lollipop or they will be sucking something else for the money. Just ask Farrah’s dad.”
