Teen Mom: How Did Farrah Abraham Get Into The Reality TV Realm

Teen Mom fans may remember that Farrah’s reality TV journey began long before. On the podcast, Locked In with Ian Bick, she explained that she was enrolled in a modeling coaching program when she discovered she was pregnant. At the time, she continued her assignments but confided in her coach about her situation. Farrah recalled feeling unsupported by the people in her life. She felt judged and believed she would no longer be able to continue modeling after her pregnancy. Her coach, however, encouraged her to stay open to opportunities.

The coach then told the reality star that she would try to find work that allowed her to share her story. According to Farrah, another girl in the program also became pregnant but chose not to move forward with any public opportunities. Farrah, meanwhile, decided to apply for several pregnancy-related shows. One of them was MTV’s 16 & Pregnant. She remembered saying in her casting tape that she wanted to show the world that people can overcome hardship no matter what life throws at them. Her message was understood, and she was eventually cast.

Teen Mom: Farrah Abraham Says Her Exit Was A “Political Firing”

Farrah insisted she could “pass a lie detector test” to prove it, and she argued that one producer made an excuse that didn’t match how they treated others on the show.

He could not lie to me.”

Fans online reacted quickly. Some insisted that her behavior on set played a role, while others believed contractual issues may have contributed. A few supported her claims and questioned whether MTV held her to a different standard than other cast members. Farrah’s interview did create a stir online among fans who were surprised by the sudden information provided by the reality star. For the latest Teen Mom tea, stay tuned to TV Season & Spoilers.
