Teen Mom: Farrah Abraham Talks About Things That Are Not Right In The Show!
Farrah Abraham has been a part of the Teen Mom franchise for years. She has an on-off equation with the show, where producers hire her for one season and then fire her mid-season. This cycle has continued for years, and finally, the diva spoke about it in detail. She revealed that something feels unequal and unfair in the show’s structure. She believes the cast members are thrown into the show without proper stability. According to her, there should be a clear system regarding how and why they get hired, fired, and rehired.
Farrah has always advocated for accountability and support from the network. She emphasized the need to help cast members bounce back and transition into normal life. The continuous loop of hiring and firing takes a toll on their mental health, which is why she demanded compensation and counseling sessions. MTV paid for her mental health sessions three times when they needed her to return.
She rejoined the show for Teen Mom: Family Reunion. Farrah felt the experience amounted to financial and mental abuse. She couldn’t keep returning to the show and facing attacks without establishing proper precautions and boundaries. She pointed out that many people on the show live with disabilities, and the lack of support affects them. Farrah further emphasized that MTV should provide intensive trauma therapy to all the moms, their children, and even their partners.
She described the environment as toxic, highlighting the disparity between different generations of filming. She further criticized the lack of emotional support, which continues to trigger more issues. Kailyn agreed with her, adding that cast members often have to beg MTV for mental health counseling. Farrah clarified that she never begged; she demanded it. Keep coming back to TV Season & Spoilers for all the latest reality TV updates.
