Farrah Abraham is suing MTV and the entire Teen Mom OG production team for $5 million.
The 26-year-old was cut from the remainder of Teen Mom OG in October, and Farrah has claimed that she was fired due to her decision to continue a career in pornography.
Farrah has now filed a $5 million lawsuit against Viacom, Eleventh Street Productions, Anxious Eleven and Teen Mom producer Morgan J. Freeman.
According to E! News, Farrah filed complaints of harassment, wrongful termination based upon gender discrimination and retaliation based upon gender discrimination.
She’s claimed that this all stemmed from an incident that happened with Morgan J. Freeman on October 30, 2017, the day before she was cut from the show.
Farrah has claimed that Morgan and the entire production crew “harassed, humiliated and discriminated against, disrespected, ridiculed and sex shamed” her during the October 30th meeting.
“Threats were made against Ms. Abraham by Freeman about ending her career with MTV and sabotaging future deals Ms. Abraham had in place with MTV, and defaming her,” the lawsuit states. “Given Freeman’s hostile tone, mannerisms and body language, Ms. Abraham feared for her life.”
Farrah has alleged that as a result, she was cut from the remainder of the Teen Mom OG season, and MTV pulled the plug on a “lucrative deal” they had been discussing for months.
On top of financial damage, Farrah claims she suffered “emotional pain, emotional suffering, inconvenience, mental anguish and loss of enjoyment of life” from the incident – and now she is seeking $5 million or more in retributions.
In statement, Farrah said, “I am here to make a change for the LGBT and female community at large, and I’m proud I stay true to my identity as a business entrepreneur, reality star, and single mother.”
“I am a business women and female Celebrity leader who will not be shamed or discriminated against by Viacom, MTV, my peers as it’s illegal for me to do the same to them.”
“As my MTV executives, crew , cast have all bought my branded products over the years I know my truth of being Farrah Abraham the loving mother and protector of my family and I fight for what is right and creating a better, safer world…I encourage all adults to have a healthy sex life to not be sex shamed and feel sexually liberated,” she continued.
A spokesperson for Viacom released a statement to E! News, saying, “We respect Farrah’s decision to pursue other endeavours, and we wish her the best. Regarding her suit, the claims are without merit.”
