'Teen Mom' Farrah Abraham says she was fired from MTV show
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}“Teen Mom” star Farrah Abraham said early Tuesday morning she was fired from MTV’s “Teen Mom OG” because she is an adult entertainer.
In a lengthy message posted on her Facebook page, Abraham claimed Viacom, the parent company that owns MTV, fired her from “Teen Mom OG” because she took part in “adult promotions and activities.”
“Even though #Viacom fired me today they couldn’t help but to exploit myself & my daughter for their promotional gain — Viacom let me go because as a Business Mogul I act like an adult and [partake] in adult promotions and activities that other adults do for FREE or in private!” Abraham wrote in the message.

Abraham added, “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... outshines the 'Teen Mom' Viacom press’- Sad such a phenomenal show will no longer have its biggest talent on the show because of women hating, sex shaming, hate crimes, selfish, Weinstein company power trip behaviors against a professional hard working, honest mother.”
She called the executives “hurtful [and] disgusting” and said she was “proud” of herself for not turning down opportunities.

Abraham’s statement came just hours after MTV released the Season 7 trailer for “Team Mom OG.” The show will feature Abraham, Catelynn Baltierra, Amber Portwood and Maci Bookout, who were all in the earlier seasons of the reality television show. The start of the season shows Abraham moving to Los Angeles with her daughter.
