Farrah Abraham claims her parents helped her negotiate Teen Mom sex tape deal with porn company

Farrah Abraham has reflected on her infamous 2013 sex tape, Backdoor Teen Mom.

Despite the X-rated video becoming a bestseller and catapulting the reality star to new heights of fame, the 33-year-old has always denied producing the tape himself.

In a recent interview, Farrah claimed that tape was her former management’s idea, and that her own father ultimately helped her negotiate a deal with a porn company for its release.

‘I was a hot mess. Definitely hanging out with the wrong people,” she said on the Holly Randall unfiltered podcast.

‘I dealt with it the best I could. “I feel like I handled it with grace compared to what I really know I went through,” she continued.

“I think some other people were like, ‘Yes Farrah, make the best of it.’ And that was actually where my parents were standing, so I had my father [Michael] come with me and my daughter [Sophia].

‘It’s like I’m a young teenage mother. This is how I approach it. It’s not like Kris Jenner and the Kardashians made a celebrity sex tape deal.”

Farrah’s video, titled Backdoor Teen Mom, was released in 2013 when she was 22.

A few months before the tape came out, Farrah, her father Michael and her young daughter Sophia were spotted out and about TMZ on his way to a porn company to negotiate the release of the tape.

“Are you here to bargain for your daughter?” a reporter asked Michael, who then replied, “I’m just here to support my daughter.”

The reporter delved deeper into the subject and asked, “Are you helping her negotiate the terms?”

Michael responded, “She’s just trying to figure out what’s going on.”

Farrah then intervened, saying that she had received offers from two other companies and that she was grateful that her father “helped” with the difficult situation.

During a performance in Dr. Phil in 2013, Farrah insisted that she filmed the sex tape for her own personal use and that it was never intended to be released.

She then blamed her sex tape co-star, actor and professional porn performer James Deen, for making the tape public so he could “promote himself” and “become more famous.”

However, Deen had a different story, telling both Playboy and TMZ that he was approached by a porn company to make a celebrity sex tape with Farrah.

During a performance in 2013 op The Adam Carolla ShowDeen described filming the video with Farrah as a “day at the office.”

He also said that a director was involved in the video, despite the fact that it was filmed to look like a homemade sex tape, as opposed to a professional adult film.

‘For the scene, [Farrah] It seemed very awkward and bizarre, like it wasn’t something she was into,” he admitted.

After the release of Backdoor Teen Mom, Farrah earned her adult fame by releasing a mold of her genitals through a sex toy company.

She also released a trilogy of erotic novels and signed a lucrative contract to work at a strip club in Austin, Texas.

In 2017, she was fired from MTV’s Teen Mom OG due to her work in the adult industry.

Farrah now sells explicit content on OnlyFans and ManyVids, and also has a page on Playboy’s creator platform.

In 2022, she was accused of selling her own poop to subscribers in small jars The sun.

Farrah also met her most recent boyfriend through OnlyFans.

She revealed that he was a subscriber and met him through the site before they met in real life and made their relationship official.

The mother-of-one first shot to fame in 2009 on MTV’s 16 & Pregnant, before starring in the spin-off Teen Mom.

She also starred in Celebrity Big Brother, Couples Therapy and Ex on the Beach, released a New York Times bestselling memoir and a pop album that was named one of the best albums of 2012 by The Guardian.

Farrah seems to be making a good living from adult entertainment.

Despite no longer being on television, the former star just purchased a $123,000 Tesla Cybertruck Cyberbeast Foundation for daughter Sophia, who turns 16 in February.

Sophia cannot currently drive the car alone because she only has a learner’s permit.

Last year, Farrah sparked controversy when she posted a video of Sophia getting multiple facial piercings to celebrate her 14th birthday.

But she defended herself against concerned fans by noting that the piercings were done by professionals.

Farrah added that she objected to parents looking the other way at underage drinking or teen sex – a position she took after becoming a teen mother herself – and she hoped that having Sophia pierced would be a safer, more controlled form of teenage rebellion.

She experienced tragedy prior to Sophia’s birth, when her daughter’s father, Derek Underwood, was killed in a car accident just two months before her birth.
