Now, life can be pretty hectic and fast-paced, can't it?
I mean we're constantly being bombarded with information, it's no surprise that, sometimes, we get confused. This is why I'm going to start this piece by explaining exactly who Farrah Abraham is.
I don't want anyone confusing her with the late actress, Farrah Fawcett, or the late president, Abraham Lincoln.
But I guess even those mistakes wouldn't even come close to being as big of a blooper as the one that Farrah Abraham made this week.
Here's what happened...
The original Teen Mom.
Farrah Abraham was first hurtled into the public gaze when she got pregnant at seventeen. Back in 2008, Abraham was cast in the first season of MTV'S 16 And Pregnant. The show followed a group of teen moms through their pregnancies, showcasing the realities of being a pregnant teenager. Shortly after, Abraham was cast in the spin-off series, Teen Mom. Farrah starred in all four seasons of the show, which came to an end in 2012.Teen Mom returned to screens in 2015.
Farrah has made her views about the Teen Mom reboot loud and clear - she basically said that it's not what it used to be. Well, obviously, Farrah - you're not in it!The Teen Mom star hasn't had the easiest time.
Not only did Farrah get pregnant at seventeen, but her mom forced her to keep the kid and wouldn't let her get an abortion. Think what you like about abortions (actually don't - her body, her rights), but that wasn't the only hard thing that MTV caught on camera. Whilst carrying the child, the baby daddy, Derek Underwood, died in a car crash.Since leaving Teen Mom, Abraham has endeavored to make a success of her life.
Farrah has a habit of talking without thinking...
AMBER just fucking admit you planned your pregnancy lmao this is so pathetic FUCK TEEN MOM ! Enjoy the bonus for yo… https://t.co/koEeSdE6F8— FARRAH ABRAHAM (@FARRAH ABRAHAM)1516069712.0
This dig at her co-stars was particularly harsh...
I’m just happy amber stays In bed, Maci sits on the couch, Catelynn smokes weed in her car , Tyler’s gays still doe… https://t.co/T7IyWB0gwg— FARRAH ABRAHAM (@FARRAH ABRAHAM)1513650491.0
Catelynn and Tyler also appeared in Teen Mom.
Catelynn was just sixteen when she found out that she was pregnant. I remember watching Tyler and Catelynn's journey through their pregnancy. They were the only teens to decide to have the baby adopted. The whole experience was incredibly difficult for them, but they felt like they were too young to be parents. They now get to see the child occasionally as it was an open adoption, and they have two more children, which they bring up full-time.Farrah wanted to be seen as more than a Teen Mom.
Oooh, tattoos for kids!
Now, this might be the most cringy one...
Definitely a low point in the rise of Farrah Abraham...

Farrah makes no secret of the fact that she gets work done.
Being the social media mogul that she is, Farrah even promotes different cosmetic surgeons on her Insta - I mean, I guess that's better than promoting strip clubs, right?Farrah has come into some trouble for her sponsored posts...
She once turned a story about losing her daughter in a store into an advert for "Focus Factor" vitamin supplements... This didn't go down so well with her followers, with a lot of people questioning her parenting skills.Parenting is a crucial aspect of Farrah's brand.
I mean, everyone remembers her from Teen Mom, right? At the start of her post-MTV career, it seemed as though Farrah was hoping that everyone would forget that and she would just be seen as a young and sexy twenty-something. Now that Farrah has jumped on the Mom-brand bandwaggon, she's doing much better. Farrah does practically all of her publicity with her daughter, Sophia.The rise of the YouTube star.
The drama all started when Farrah and Sophia went to NYC.
Ever been to a 7 Eleven?
If not, it's kind of important to know what one is to fully appreciate how bad Farrah's comment was. A 7 eleven is basically a chain of stores that are open from 7 am until 11 pm. It's the kind of place where you can pick up essentials: soda, last-minute birthday cards, and poor quality car accessories for when you've forgotten that it's your anniversary and you've already hit the road. It's a convenience store. Essentially.Do you know what 9/11 is?
Farrah seemed a bit confused when discussing the terrorist attack.
#FarrahAbraham calls 9/11... “7 Eleven” 🤦🏼♀️ https://t.co/BaBbW2zmWh— Reality Ashhole (@Reality Ashhole)1568330776.0
It's not only her slip-up that's upset people.
Many have called Farrah out for using the 18th anniversary of 9/11 as part of her self-promotion. The self-proclaimed businesswoman sure isn't doing any favors with this Insta story... I mean, putting "Never Forget" (alluding to the tragic terrorist attack) and then putting her own Insta handle was a bit insensitive, right?Farrah has defended her 7-Eleven comment.
She almost got away with it!
Perhaps Farrah needs to learn when to leave something alone...
