Farrah Abraham: What Fame Did To Me After 16 & Pregnant

Farrah Abraham opens up about MTV’s 16 and Pregnant, Teen Mom, becoming pregnant at 16, and losing the father of her daughter while she was still carrying Sophia. Farrah revisits being pregnant as she stood at Derek’s casket, the last words they exchanged, and the grief that followed while millions watched her become one of reality TV’s most controversial stars.

Farrah also reveals the reality behind Teen Mom, from the period she says she was living in her car while filming to the pressure of processing Derek’s death in the public eye. She reflects on fame, money, plastic surgery, her sex tape and why she now sees some of her most public decisions through the lens of depression, trauma and a desperate need to feel loved.

Now, with Sophia approaching adulthood, Farrah reflects on therapy, breaking patterns from her own childhood and choosing a different relationship with her daughter. Raw, unpredictable and deeply personal, this is Farrah Abraham confronting the moments the world judged without knowing what was happening behind them.
