TeenMom star Farrah Abraham explains why she let her daughter enter the porn industry like herself at such a young age. “Everyone has to make money…”
Farrah Abraham says she’s unbothered by those who don’t agree with her parenting choices.
The fired Teen Mom OG star— who is the mother of 15-year-old Sophia— will appear on Bunnie XO‘s Dumb Blonde podcast this week and, in a sneak preview of the interview, Farrah discusses Sophia’s unique style and reveals why she allowed the teen to get a plethora of facial and body piercings.
Farrah– in her signature “Farrah Speak” word salad way— explained that she allows Sophia to wear what she wants and pierce what she wants, despite many people online criticizing her for allowing Sophia to dress so risque for her age.
“I’m not there to go into spiral, like shame, blame reject my child,” the Backdoor Teen Mom stated. “I’m here to make sure my child’s seen, she is safe and she is supported. If those three things are always top of mind, then I know what I’m doing in the footsteps that I’m walking in my parent journey are right where they need to be for my child.”
Last year, Farrah came under fire for allowing Sophia to get six new piercings at once– including snake bite lower lip piercings– for her 14th birthday. For her 13th birthday, Sophia was allowed to get her septum pierced.
For Sophia’s 15th birthday in February, she got her tongue pierced and two dermal piercings in her lower back.
In her interview with Bunnie, Farrah uses one of her phrases-of-the-month (“consent culture”) to describe how she parents.
“I learned so much about consent culture and leading with that and allowing someone to have their will, their rights, their freedoms,” Farrah said. “And I think that’s just very important on maybe the littlest things, like a piercings or tattoos.”
Farrah— who was randomly exposing her bra during the interview (as you do)— stated that she is a fan of Sophia’s goth aesthetic.
“I love Sophia’s look, too,” she said. “And I’m happy with whatever look she decides and what she loves.”
“I’d prefer her to wear shirts with my face on them every day, but I’ll allow this look if it gives me something to talk about on podcasts for attention!”
Farrah commented that she was “raised in a different way” than she is raising Sophia.
As ‘Teen Mom’ fans know, Farrah has had a very contentious relationship with her own mother, Debra “Debz OG” Danielsen, who was very strict with Farrah when she was growing up…but now wears fishnet shirts and pleather hot-pants in her rap music videos.
As you do…
“Like I was called a witch [by my mom] for wanting a rhinoplasty,” Farrah said. “Your self worth needs to be built up so that you are not vulnerable for other things.
“I’m just trying to set up a next generation to have that safe place,” Farrah added. “[To] be seen, know who they are and not seek that in other people.
While Bunnie stated that she agreed with Farrah’s parenting mindset, others in the comment section of the post did not appear to feel the same way.
“Parenting advice from this woman is not advice you should take,” one person wrote.
“Too bad that Farrah treats her daughter as a best friend than a parent,” someone else wrote.
“Talking in self help quotes is WILD and hilarious behavior,” another person commented.
“Children need boundaries to be safe, seen and supported,” someone else wrote.
