You've probably heard of Farrah Abraham, who appeared on 16 & Pregnant as well as Teen Mom. She got pregnant at 16 and was left as a single mom when the father of her baby was tragically killed in a car accident. Farrah gave birth to her daughter, Sophia, and that's kind of where things started to get messy for her.
Farrah immediately garnered a reputation as a diva. She constantly screamed at her parents when they were trying to help her, and she seemed to think her personal life was more important than her parenting life. As years moved forward, Farrah tried to stay in the spotlight not just on Teen Mom, but all over Hollywood. She began undergoing plastic surgery and drastically changed her appearance.
Farrah also dipped her toes in the world of adult entertainment. She was paid $10,000 for her sex tape, called Back Door Teen Mom, although she claims it was $1,000,000. Her decision to do porn was a point of contention among other cast members, with fan-favorite Maci Bookout threatening to leave the show if Farrah was invited back.
After a few seasons of tension between the cast members, Farrah was finally fired from Teen Mom, and now she's suing Viacom, who owns MTV, for "porn shaming" her.
"You choose to work in the adult industry, we can't continue to film..." producer Morgan J. Freeman told Farrah on an episode of Teen Mom.
"Who are you to tell someone to chose one thing?" she fired back. "Shoot me for being who I am."
Farrah took to social media about the network's decision.
"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," Farrah said in her blast.
Now, a replacement for the outspoken reality star has been named, and of course, Farrah has something to say about it.
TMZ broke the story, and though it has yet to be confirmed by MTV, it looks like Teen Mom 3 star Mackenzie McKee will be replacing Farrah on the original Teen Mom.
To give you a refresher, Mackenzie appeared on season four of 16 & Pregnant when she was just a young cheerleader who was pregnant in her junior year of high school. Her pregnancy was difficult, as she also suffers from Type 1 Diabetes. However, despite complications, Mackenzie gave birth to a healthy baby boy named Gannon McKee with her boyfriend, Josh McKee.
The couple has stayed together ever since, and have since gotten married and had two more children, Jaxie and Broncs.
McKee, a competitive body-builder, has been outspoken about Farrah's career choices in the past.
"Farrah...Yes you have a big name but if being a porn star is how to get there then I never want a name that big," she said. "I plan to go far in the fitness industry and just walking across the stage takes a lot more work than opening your legs on camera. I hope one day you [Farrah] can find peace in your heart to actually have positive things to say about others. I hope you one day realize that doing porn isn't the best thing for your daughter."
McKee was a fan-favorite on the short-lived Teen Mom 3, and is currently shooting a two-hour documentary about her mother's battle with stage 4 brain cancer, which she was diagnosed with this year.
Farrah doesn't seem too bothered by the replacement, and says the show is going to to suffer without her.
"I wish them all the best with the show. I'm out on a high note," she told Us Weekly. "This is the longest season in history and I'm their biggest star. I can do my own show, but I don't want to focus on reality TV. I'm focusing on scripted opportunities but will always enjoy a good reality TV project. I don't know what the show is doing. You could take all the girls on all the series, but none can bring or do as much as I do for the series."
Something tells me fans won't see it the same way. Farrah has long been a villain on the show, with people claiming they don't watch anymore because of her antics.
