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.
