Note from The Ashley: This interview is a few weeks old BUT it may legit be one of Farrah’s most-unhinged interviews of all time (and that’s saying something considering we are talking about FARRAH!), so The Ashley felt it was necessary to still post the recap she did of it.
Farrah Abraham sat down with New York’s Z100 radio station earlier this month for an interview and….buckle up, buttercups because the Backdoor Teen Mom had some wild things to say about teen pregnancy: including why kids need to be offered vasectomies, and why she shouldn’t be blamed for her own pregnancy at 16.
The host, Crystal Rojas, started things off by stroking Farrah’s ego (which is the only thing currently more inflated than Farrah’s rearend and lips) as “a bold entrepreneur spanning pasta sauces, beauty, comedy.” (She failed to, however, to bring up the fact the whole “sexy-time movie/making molds of her cooter-and-tooter/selling her body excretions for profit” portion of Farrah’s career.)
Here’s a breakdown of what The Big F had to say about a variety of topics, including teen pregnancy, her former ‘Teen Mom’ co-stars and more.
On teen pregnancy in general & why the government should provide contraception (including vasectomies/tubal ligation) to kids:
Farrah— obviously eager to add her word-of-the-week, “systemically,” to her word salad— appeared to be advocating against teen pregnancy; however, her “Farrah Speak”-filled rant was so confusing that The Ashley can’t be certain where Farrah stands on the issue.
Farrah told Crystal that she thinks we “as society have been systemically wrong” when it comes to judging teenagers for getting knocked up, because Farrah feels them getting pregnant is the fault of the government for not providing them contraception (and/or vasectomies) as teens.
No, seriously.
“We have vulnerable age groups who are left out of contraception prevention,” she said. “When you’re procreating, it’s an act of God. It’s not like an age and a law. I just want people to understand that. And, when you don’t have prevention, which we haven’t, and inclusion and equity in that for teenagers, 10-year-olds are getting pregnant. I’m just saying, it doesn’t matter if you’re a teen or middle schoolers. There needs to be inclusion and equity there for women and men.”
Farrah then further confused listeners by talking how teenagers can be sterilized.
“You know, they can get vasectomies or they can have their tubes tied,” Farrah said. “They can have fertility options and I think that’s another component of why medical and fertility and government is blocking this inclusion and equity for teens or people who can just procreate at any age. They don’t want to give the necessary prevention for a brighter future and a brighter life. So, you can’t have your eggs saved. You can’t get your vasectomies or whatever you need.”
“You have 16-year-old men on the Internet asking and trying to find this stuff because they are taking equal accountability as women now, and I am so proud of these younger generations.”
Farrah went on to say that the Farrah from ’16 and Pregnant’ is “always going to be fighting for teens…or middle schoolers…or anyone who can procreate.”
On why teen pregnancy isn’t always a bad thing…or something:
Farrah then seemingly began to encourage more people to have babies…regardless of their age.
“I’m gonna make a little raw statement here,” Farrah warned us. “The more the merrier. More the merrier of people who are procreating because that’s normal for you and like no one needs to judge you.
“And good for you if there’s more teens pregnant, if there’s more middle schoolers pregnant because no one can judge you. Because you have purposely not been included or equal to the table. Therefore, your parents, anyone can not hate on you and they should actually support you.”
Farrah claimed that her church (which she did not specifically name) is actively helping pregnant women.
“What I love about my church is, I was like woah. There are more early pregnancy centers and pregnancy help centers to women and the church keeps expanding them,” Farrah said, adding that she wants to invest in early pregnancy centers herself.
“’Cause I just love doing non-profit stuff and that is something I’m actually more passionate about,” she said. “Support is helping. Preventing hardships for moms. Because it is inevitable, right? If you don’t have something for preventative it’s inevitable that it’s gonna happen anyway.”
Farrah went on to give her thoughts on what the government should be doing to support teens who get pregnant, since they didn’t help prevent the pregnancies to begin with.
“So it’s either like we need to step up like government-wise— a new act– or it’s like, ‘Hey you need to have more support and help because it’s inevitable.’ Rather than, [what I experienced when I was pregnant and was told], ‘I raised you and I told you [not to get pregnant.’] The shame, blame, reject. The negative stimulus. Woah, that is so toxic and I have had to do therapy for that my entire life just so everybody knows.”
Farrah said she empathize with what young people are going through.
“From 10-year-olds who you see getting pregnant on the news, I severely empathize with that. I don’t think it’s right that our communities, our systemic government has allowed this.”
Farrah said she is tired of being judged by “older women” because of her support for the teens.
“It’s gonna take more teens getting radical and if that means, you know, pregnancy all over the place, if it needs to be in everyone’s face so loud rather than hidden, aborted, given to adoption.”
On why she shouldn’t be blamed for getting pregnant at 16:
Farrah became famous because she was knocked up at the age of 16. In this interview, though, Farrah says she doesn’t see how she can be blamed for getting knocked up.
“I used to be blamed all the time [by my parents]…blaming me for getting pregnant. But, here’s the thing, how can you ever blame me when you had me live in it?” Farrah said. “That’s my environment. And a lot of people, in order to, like, get out of those environments, you have to ‘about face’ everything you’ve ever known, while your family’s attacking you for trying to get better. And they’re blaming you, and that’s what I lived in. And that’s horrible and a lot of people live in that.”
Later in the interview, Farrah said she wants to give her daughter Sophia all of the support she didn’t have.
“I did not have that support. I continue to not have that support with my parents,” Farrah stated. “… I believe instead of giving your child crumbs to give your child the whole dinner plate because I know how it feels to just get crumbs of everything.”
On her former ‘Teen Mom’ co-stars:
As per usual, Farrah had plenty to say about the people she used to share the screen with on ‘Teen Mom,’ including Catelynn Lowell, Tyler Baltierra and Amber Portwood. Click here to read what she said.

Ok, I’ve come back with actual words, lmao.
This right here is a prime example of exactly why Sophia should not be in her custody. I would say care, but, it’s clear, she doesn’t actually take very good care of her, she simply buys whatever, whenever and lets Sophia sort life out herself. Farrah’s level of total disconnect from reality, while largely due to a serious drug issue (that wasn’t a trauma treatment facility, it was rehab, and it’s okay to say you were in rehab Farrah), it’s also due to the fact that she’s never really been held accountable for anything in her life. It was scary as a teen then young adult knowing she was responsible for another human while spiraling out in la la land, it’s way worse now.
Let’s just ignore all that other wildly redonkulous shit in her life and look at this one interview a bit more closely, though. In other interviews, she’s talked, a lot, about Sophia having a boyfriend and how happy she was for her, and how much *Farrah liked him being around…Now Farrah is advocating for teen pregnancy, even going as far as encouraging it (“because it’s going to happen”, not might, but *IS*) as if she’s attempting to live vicariously through Sophia. That should be more than a little worrisome, tbh. No teen should EVER be encouraged to have sex, much less get pregnant, regardless of statistics, regardless of the promotion of safe sex (which is vitally important, because of the statistics, and also at any age). Sure, everyone is aware that teens have sex…duh. That doesn’t mean we say “go for it little buddy, and while you’re in there, how’s about we make a baby too”…..seriously, WTF Farrah? Someone should have removed Sophia from her care years ago. I don’t care what ANYONE says, Farrah has never, and will never, be a good mom. The fact that she can buy her way out of or in to anything, doesn’t cut it as being a “good mom”. Sophia has been left in the care of perfect strangers countless times over the years-but most people gloss over that fact, though I don’t know why. Where do people think she was while Farrah was busy? She wasn’t with family….
The only reason she’s not had a kid since, is that over 99% of the males she has slept with (Derek being the only one not included here) paid for it. Those males aren’t looking to add 18+years of baggage onto the experience, it’s not part of the paid package. It has little, well nothing really, at all to do with Farrah preventing a pregnancy and everything to do with the males ensuring she doesn’t. (also, I am not knocking her sex work, you do you boo, just call it what it is…)
Holy cow! I thought I was looking at Marysol Patton from RHOM. They could be sisters 🤣
Too bad Debra didn’t get sterilized as a teen.
She’s so creepy….a “16 year old man”? These are literal children she is talking about. Reminds me of something Bonnie Blah or the other identical dumb Annie Awful on OF would say…gross people. No common sense.
Also. Anyone that sees Farrah, please pass her this note.. Blend, girl! You’ve got to blend it not just plop it on and walk out!
Actually after looking at the pics Debra looks better, somehow more natural than Farrah’s… giraffe look. She literally looks like a giraffe with lip filler and that’s giving her too much credit bc giraffes are cute, she is… I mean.. what the eff happened it’s alien. She’s barely got nose left which makes her face even longer, the weird space between her nose and lips makes it look like the weight of her lips have caused gravity to do its thing bc they’re drooping.. idk im genuinely shocked at what she’s done to her face, there’s no fixing that. MTV created a monster, maybe if she was never given a spotlight she woulda turned out different or been forced to get help. It’s really too bad derricks family couldn’t have gotten Sophia bc that girl has absolutely no chance now, none. Farrah makes Deb look normal, and smart and that’s saying something. Maybe they have some genetic mental degenerative disease that is unknown or something, they should be studied though bc there is something going on there.
She is truly special.
Man I’m usually pretty good at deciphering Farrah speak but this truly wobbles the mind. I *think* she’s trying to say that it’s ok for teens to get pregnant because it’s “inevitable” and the government isn’t stopping them?? Birth control and condoms have been available for decades and it’s a parents job the educate their child about these things not the government. Also I’m highly concerned about her saying “When you’re procreating, it’s an act of God. It’s not like an age and a law.”, and bringing up a 10yr old and middle schoolers getting pregnant. A 10 year old CANNOT consent and there are laws for a reason!
I gotta give it to Farrah, she talks a lot of nonsense and I think she seriously has some brain damage but she was smart enough to not get pregnant again after Sophia and that’s more than we can say about most of TM girls
Only because no man wanted to be tied to her did 18 years.
They chose to pump and dump her, it wasn’t because she was being responsible, it is because no man could stand to have her on their case as a father to any kids, with her.
This is not mental illness anymore. Its brain damage.
Yes!! I didn’t know if I was the only one who noticed it. All that money spent on her face. Ends up looking like the person she hates the most😸😸
Z100 should be fined by the FTC for encouraging Farrah’s delusions.
I don’t even understand the summary 🙈
Hoe Lee Fuck
I’ve got no other words, at the moment, I shall return when I do.
your not returning are you
And Farrah is proof that we need to reopen state mental institutions.
I say that as a mentally Ill person myself.
You know what I have never seen as a headline?
“Farrah gives a coherent interview and actually makes sense”
So teenagers aren’t emotionally mature enough to have sex (I know I wasn’t) but they are emotionally and mentally mature enough to consent to have a vasectomy or tubal ligation?😂
I’m thinking back to the teenage boys I was around and can tell you exactly what their teenage brains would think about this proposal. “Hell yeah! So I can bang as many chicks as I want and they won’t get pregnant? I won’t even have to wear a condom.”😅
Thank God Farrah is making good use of her (pretend) Harvard degree. Per law she could mandate this immediately.
Good god, just imagine the STDs?!
Not that I expect Farrah thinks of much.
I grew up during the aids crisis and was *so* on top of condom usage as a teen. I’m glad there is PreP and all that, but wish condoms were still taken as seriously nowadays.
This is in fact the most unhinged Farrah Interview ever. I doubted you Ashley. I was wrong. Like, encouraging 10 year olds to rebel and get pregnant and “put in your face” wrong. Oh dear, Jeebus.
She just keeps getting worse. In every possible way.
Crumbs??? CRUMBS???
We all saw her parents let her live at their bougie guest house out back whenever she was younger and had Sophia. That guesthouse was nicer than any house I have ever lived in. Try getting kicked out by your own mother when you’re pregnant at 17 like I did, and having to flee the state all the way to Florida in order to pick up the pieces all on your own. Then you can talk to me about how you had crumbs and no support. Nothing is worse than seeing grossly privileged people act like they have it tough.
I’m so sorry! I hope you have a fantastic life and I imagine you are a wayyyyyy better mom than yours!
Not sure what moron downvoted you, But thank you so much This was so sweet! Definitely thriving in my thirties 🫶🏻
I think the down votes are people mistaking the comment as being directed at Farrah and not as a response to your comment
My exact thoughts! Farrah had EVERYthing she could have needed or wanted from her parents. Among all the other things in this interview, wtf is she talking about?!
Speaking of sterilization……….
