Farrah Abraham Reveals the Truth About Celebrity Sex Tapes and Sophia’s Response
Farrah Abraham has opened up about her 16-year-old daughter Sophia’s thoughts on her appearance in A&E’s documentary series Secrets of Celebrity Sex Tapes.
In an exclusive interview with Us Weekly prior to the airing of her episode on Monday, September 22, Abraham, 34, revealed that Sophia viewed the episode and remarked that she doesn’t “remember being there” when Abraham’s sex tape with adult film star James Deen was released in 2013, as she was only about 4 years old at the time.
“As my best friend, my daughter doesn’t have any recollection of the conversations I had while trying to navigate motherhood and manage everything,” shared the Teen Mom alum.
Farrah noted that Sophia advised her to maintain her distance from her estranged parents, Michael Abraham and Debra Danielsen, despite her father commenting on the episode.
“The other night, my daughter said to me, ‘No matter what happens with this episode, don’t go back to talking to them.’ She’s been raised to avoid toxic relationships, and she truly believes in that. [Sophia said], ‘Don’t go there, you know, don’t visit the circus.’ My daughter is so wise,” Farrah explained.
In 2013, Farrah was featured in the adult video Farrah Superstar: Backdoor Teen Mom alongside Deen, 39, and at that time claimed it was a casual project that got “leaked.” However, Deen later referred to the production as a professional video instead of a simple “sex tape.”
“After seeing James discuss my personal video as a pornographic film without even consulting me beforehand, I feel very let down,” Farrah expressed in a 2013 statement to Us. “I will personally distance myself from James. I strive to be a wonderful woman, mother, and entrepreneur. Regarding the company that holds a copy of my personal video, my lawyer is addressing that issue.”
Farrah later participated in a sequel titled Farrah 2: Backdoor and More with Deen in 2014. At that time, her lawyer informed TMZ that Vivid Video, responsible for the adult films, had no permission to distribute the sequel.
In the teaser for Secrets of Celebrity Sex Tapes, a producer inquires if the initial video was “originally intended for release.”
While Farrah’s reaction is not showcased, the trailer features a moment of the MTV personality wiping away tears.
