It’s fair to say that Farrah Abraham grew up in the public eye. At age 16 she was cast in the popular MTV show,16 & Pregnant. Following the success of that show, she was also cast in the wildly popular spinoff series, Teen Mom. The show followed Abraham (and three other young mothers) doing their best to raise their kids despite their young age. In fact, Abraham’s daughter was even born on MTV and the pair are both seeking careers in the entertainment industry at present.
