Farrah Abraham: The Reality Star Turned Million-Dollar Content Queen
Farrah Abraham, a name synonymous with reality TV and controversy, has once again made headlines by claiming she is "making millions" through her OnlyFans page. The 33-year-old reality star, best known for her appearances on MTV’s Teen Mom franchise, opened up about her lucrative venture in an exclusive interview with Page Six’s Virtual Reali-Tea. Abraham, who is set to debut her stand-up comedy show, Diary of a Teen Mom, at Manhattan’s Spearmint Rhino Gentlemen’s Club, revealed that she has mastering the art of OnlyFans. "I know the tips and tricks to OnlyFans. Again, I haven’t come out of my house for, like, five years. I am plenty busy on OnlyFans," she shared. Abraham proudly declared that she is "making millions of dollars [on] OnlyFans" and emphasized that she is "very good at that." Her success on the platform is just another chapter in her long-standing career in the adult entertainment industry, which she embraced years before OnlyFans became a household name.
Breaking Ground in Adult Entertainment
Long before OnlyFans became a haven for sex workers, influencers, and celebrities alike, Farrah Abraham had already dipped her toes into the lucrative world of adult entertainment. In 2013, her sex tape with porn legend James Deen surfaced, and she reportedly sold the rights to Vivid Entertainment for nearly $1 million. The tape, titled Farrah Superstar: Backdoor Teen Mom, was released in 2013 and followed by a sequel, Farrah 2: Backdoor and More, in 2014. Abraham’s foray into the adult industry was met with both criticism and curiosity, as she had already become a household name after her debut on MTV’s 16 & Pregnant in 2009. Her fame only grew when she joined the cast of Teen Mom, but her decision to venture into adult entertainment sparked controversy and tension with her castmates.
The Fallout with MTV and Teen Mom
Farrah Abraham’s association with the adult entertainment industry led to significant backlash, particularly from her Teen Mom castmates. In 2015, when the show was rebooted after a hiatus, Abraham faced criticism from co-star Maci Bookout, who expressed concerns about having her son, Bentley, appear on the same show as someone involved in the adult industry. The tension eventually came to a head in 2018 when executive producer Morgan J. Freeman gave Abraham an ultimatum: choose between her career in adult entertainment or continue filming for Teen Mom. Abraham was ultimately fired from the show. While she has made occasional guest appearances on the franchise since then, she has not been welcomed back as a full-time cast member. Abraham has been candid about the reasons behind her departure, suggesting that disputes over compensation, rather than her involvement in the adult industry, were the root cause. "So I have to say, are we in a disagreement about my pay on ‘Teen Mom’? Yeah, that’s what it was. If you’d like to blame it on adult stuff … baby, it’s like, I am an adult," she remarked.
The Hypocrisy of Modern Reality TV
Despite her exit from Teen Mom, Farrah Abraham has observed a noticeable shift in the industry’s attitude toward adult entertainment. Several current cast members, including Tyler Baltierra, Briana DeJesus, and Jade Cline, have joined OnlyFans without facing any repercussions from the network. Abraham has pointed out the hypocrisy in this double standard, though she remains unfazed. Instead, she has chosen to focus on her new passion: stand-up comedy. Her comedy debut, Diary of a Teen Mom, marks a departure from the dramatic world of reality TV that has defined her career since she was a teenager. "I think that’s the joke of the night for my comedy debut is I’m doing really well at this adulting thing," she quipped. Abraham’s ability to find humor in her experiences, including her early days on 16 & Pregnant, showcases her resilience and determination to move beyond the controversies of her past.
Finding Humor in Uncomfortable Moments
These days, Farrah Abraham is finding joy in reflecting on her journey, even the most uncomfortable moments. The mother of 16-year-old daughter Sophia, who lives with her in Austin, Texas, recently revisited her 16 & Pregnant episode and couldn’t help but laugh at the irony of her situation. "I was looking back at the ’16 & Pregnant’ episode the other day. Someone sent it, and like, you know, [I’m in the] birth position, legs up. I’m like, ‘Damn, this is like one of the highest requested things on my O.F. that people pay for!’" she shared with a chuckle. Abraham’s ability to find humor in her experiences highlights her growth and self-awareness. She has come to embrace her past, even as she charts a new course in her career.
