May 2024 · 2 minute read

If there's one thing more humiliating than being fired, it's being fired in a public way — and that's exactly what happened to Farrah Abraham when she initially parted ways with MTV in front of the entire world.

In a dramatic Season 7 episode of "Teen Mom OG" in 2018, Farrah spoke with a producer who made it clear that if she continued on with her career in the adult industry she couldn't continue filming for the show. Farrah hit back, "Who are you to tell someone to choose one thing? Shoot me for being who I am!"

Farrah filed a lawsuit against MTV's parent company, Viacom, claiming she was "wrongfully terminated her employment because she did not conform to gender stereotypes" (via People). Directly addressing the "Teen Mom OG" scene, she said she felt "harassed, humiliated, discriminated against, disrespected, ridiculed, degraded and sex shamed" and was suing for "emotional pain, emotional suffering, mental anguish, loss of enjoyment of life and other damages." 

A spokesperson for Viacom responded by saying the "claims are without merit" and the lawsuit was settled later that month. Farrah told People, "I'm happy Viacom wanted to settle and I'm thrilled with the outcome. I did the right thing by filing a lawsuit." In September 2020, she slammed the show again on Instagram but was revealed to have a new "Teen Mom" spin-off in the works a year later.
