4 Reasons Why Farrah Abraham Was Reportedly Fired From ‘Teen Mom OG’

Farrah Abraham, an original “Teen Mom” star, announced on Instagram on Monday night that she had been let go from the series by MTV and its parents company, Viacom.

In an explosive post, the reality star claimed she had been terminated because of her other jobs in the adult entertainment industry.

“Viacom let me go because as a Business Mogul I act like an adult and part take in adult promotions and activities that other adults do for FREE or in private,” she wrote.

“Even though I have successfully been to gentlemen’s clubs appearances they filmed and Viacom filmed me at the AVN’s & Viacom shows and glorifies showing couples having sex on their network but as stated today ‘my brands press out shines the Teen mom Viacom press.’”

MTV has not yet responded to International Business Times’ request for comment.

Farrah went on to state she believes herself to be the “biggest talent” on the series and slammed the network for “sex shaming” her.

While Farrah states it was her other gigs that caused her to get let go from “Teen Mom OG,” there are a few other rumored reasons why she was reportedly fired.

Her Adult Career

The Ashley’s Reality Roundup claims to have inside scoop into Farrah’s firing. As initially stated by Farrah, The Ashley reported her decision to star in adult videos was a big part of her being let go, stating that MTV felt they could “explain away” her first venture into porn in 2013, mainly because it was made while the show was on hiatus, but that they “can’t use that excuse anymore.”

A Long Time Coming

The report claims that talk of her getting let go has been “in the works for sometime” and was even a hot topic at the “Teen Mom 2” reunion taping earlier this month. “This was not a last-minute decision on the network/production team’s part,” reported the site.

Viewers’ Opinions

“Another factor is that an overwhelmingly large portion of the viewing audience simply does not like Farrah, and not just because of the adult stuff,” a “behind-the-scenes” source told the site. “They are not losing one of the more popular girls.”

Difficult To Work With

Farrah’s filming antics have long been shown on the series. From fighting with producers to refusing the crew use of her home’s bathrooms, The Ashley claims the crew was fed up.

“Several former crew members have actually refused to film with Farrah,” a production source told the site, calling the filming experience with the mother of one “miserable.” “So it’s just not worth the drama and backlash for everyone involved with the show anymore,” added the insider.

While Farrah may not be longer be a part of the “Teen Mom OG” cast, she will appear in upcoming episodes of the series. MTV released the first trailer for Season 7 on Monday, confirming Farrah’s involvement.

The series returns with new episodes on Monday, Nov. 27.
