In 2009, Farrah Abraham found fame on 16 and Pregnant. She's now feuding with her former co-stars.

If you're a millennial who spent the early 2010s watching MTV reality shows while procrastinating on your uni assignments, chances are you will remember Farrah Abraham from 16 & Pregnant.

You'll also likely remember her fellow Teen Mom alums Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Baltierra.

But while the trio all starred on the same show, their similarities end there. At least, so their recent feud would suggest.

You see, Catelynn and Tyler have been dealing with an ongoing adoption drama — and Farrah recently weighed in on the topic. And no, she didn't have good things to say.

Catelynn and Tyler placed their daughter, Carly, for adoption 16 years ago but have recently been claiming — very publicly — that Carly's adoptive parents have restricted their contact with her.

Now, speaking to OK!, Farrah has suggested that Child Protective Services should get involved.

"I think fans should call CPS on them," Farrah told the publication.

"I know lots of the fans have been saying they thought about it, but the more we see the abusive nature and Catelynn conspiring this abuse with Tyler, CPS needs to be involved," she alleged.

"So, for the wellbeing and mental health of these children, it's very obvious. And when they're cut off from their other child, it is very obvious the abuse, the lack of care and how horrible their home is to grow up in."

Big yikes.

The reality star has also been involved in a back-and-forth with Tyler on social media.

Tyler wrote on Instagram: "Listen, anytime Farrah has an opposition on my life, it will always be nothing but a compliment to my character. If we ever did share the same opinion, I'd be worried about myself tbh."

This prompted a response from Farrah, who wrote on her Instagram Story: "When you're a horrible dad, immature, and let your ego get in the way of living a great life — Tyler, stop embracing negative stimulus and take accountability. Your financial struggles are severe; learn to break the cycles and adhere to the 12-step principles."

She went on to claim that Tyler harbours "resentment toward women."

But Farrah herself has faced a string of controversies over the past 16 years since she became a household name. Let's take a trip down memory lane, shall we?

Who is Farrah Abraham?

Farrah Abraham is 33 now (feel old yet?), but most of us first met her back in 2009 on MTV's 16 & Pregnant. The then-17-year-old gave birth to her daughter, Sophia, that year on February 23.

Farrah's journey was heartbreakingly different from the other teen mums on the show. Her boyfriend (and Sophia's dad), Derek Underwood, died in a car accident just two months before their baby was born.

Farrah also had a tumultuous relationship with her mother, Debra Danielsen.

She later starred on Teen Mom, but was dropped after an adult film with porn star James Deen surfaced in 2013.

At the time, she insisted the pair were dating and the tape was leaked, but Deen denied this. Two years later, Farrah alleged she had been drugged and raped by Deen.

Farrah was one of nine women who accused the porn star of sexual assault. He addressed the allegations in an interview with the Daily Beast, saying he was "completely baffled" by the accusations.

"My job as a performer for rough sex companies is to engage in certain acts," he said.

"If at any point I pushed boundaries past the point of comfort, I am sorry. I have always tried to respect people's limits and safe words, and operated within that space. If someone expressed anything to me, I honoured the request with the fullest care."

Where is Farrah Abraham now?

Farrah has done a lot since her time on Teen Mom ended.

She went on to join OnlyFans, and released a memoir and an album both with the same name, My Teenage Dream Ended.

Farrah also launched businesses, including a furniture line called Furnished by Farrah and Sophia Laurent Children's Boutique, named after her daughter.

There have been a spate of legal dramas along the way, too. In 2022, she was arrested for allegedly assaulting a security guard at a nightclub (she ended up on probation and had to complete community service). In 2021, she accused former Windsor Mayor Dominic Foppoli of sexual assault.

Farrah also made headlines when she began undergoing ketamine therapy to deal with her past traumas.

During an appearance on SiriusXM's The Bonfire with Big Jay Oakerson & Robert Kelly, she opened up about feeling angry about her parents allegedly exposing her to toxic environments when she was young.

"I had a full circle event during winter and then I started ketamine because of this," Farrah said.

"I think it was, I'm actually enraged to think how my parents allowed me to be what they put me around at 16… I would never put my daughter around that or have her even think these thoughts and be so disconnected from me like I was with my family."

Farrah made it clear she'd never put Sophia through anything similar.

Sophia herself turned 16 this year, the same age she was when Farrah gave birth to her. The mother-daughter duo marked the occasion with a trip to Germany, and Farrah shared a sweet tribute to her daughter on Instagram.

"Happiest Sweet 16 to the one & only @sophiealabraham," she wrote.

"To the star who made me famous at 16, I love you, I'm excited we're travelling the world together.

"Presently, I'm beyond proud of you for not people pleasing, conforming and staying true to your values. I'm grateful for you being in my life and making me the best parent, the best me and healing myself while raising you has been the biggest gift in life.

"As we celebrate your birthday with trips expanding your world, for the young woman who has it all, I had to take a moment to show my gratitude, love & appreciation to the one person who has shown me so much love, my value and my strength."

Most recently, Farrah debuted a comedy show called Diary of a Teen Mom at Spearmint Rhino in New York City. The performance mixed humour with stories from her wild journey through reality TV fame and teen motherhood.

At the end of the day, the teen mum has no regrets, but she does wish she could give her 17-year-old self some advice.

"That girl, all she needs to know is it's okay to be a young mum. It's actually better than being an older parent. Sorry, older parents," she told PEOPLE.

"I keep getting that shame, blame, reject stuff, and I don't need to. I love my child. There's nothing to regret and... I love being a young parent still. I love being kind of like an empty nester right now."
