Miss the cast of Teen Mom OG? Well, you do not have to wish for a reunion for long now!
Luckily, Farrah Abraham is finally back and has been reunited with the Teen Mom cast. They are all coming together for a very exciting family reunion, specifically named Teen Mom: Family Reunion. Getting them all back was no cakewalk, to say the least. Yet, we can not be any more excited for the originals of the show to come back and reunite with a tale to tell from their respective familial lives.
The announcement of the series reboot featuring the old cast came along with a trailer drop by the series. The trailer was released this Tuesday, on November 30, and revealed that Farrah will once again be back on the show! Other than Farrah, the series has also cast more of the original members of the series, including Amber Portwood, Maci Bookout, and more. Additionally, you will also get to see faces from the Teen Mom 2 series that included Leah Messer, Brianna DeJesus, and Jade Cline. Unfortunately, another famous OG cast member, Catelynn Baltierra, could not make it and is not in the Family Reunion show.
The trailer of the spinoff series is pretty promising, guaranteeing to deliver "the mother of all vacations." The series reunion is to feature all the OG Teen Moms as they get to reunite after a long, long time, catch some sunshine, and bond over once again during their trip away with each other. The trailer revealed that the original cast ould get to “connect with one another and celebrate their unique bonds during a unique getaway, with fun, sun, and new friendships. They’ll also reunite with surprise cameos from the past and present,” as said by MTV.
Notably, Farrah Abraham herself had a shocking secret hidden away that surprised many of the series' fans and the creators, making them fire her from the series. Apparently, it was found out that Farrah had a career in the adult entertainment industry and hence had to be let go.
The star has not had much success with staying in contact with her OG cast members from the show after her shocking exit from the show. The lady went on to sue Viacom for their disgusting behavior towards her as they made her leave the show. The reality TV star, then aged 26, filed a $5 million lawsuit against Viacom and accused them of firing her for “not conforming to gender stereotypes.” Her lawsuit against the company also held accusations against Morgan J. Freeman, the executive producer for using derogatory language for her.
Farrah said that the executive producer and his crew from the show showed up at her private property in Texas and “harassed, humiliated, discriminated against, disrespected, ridiculed, degraded and sex shamed” her as her secret career in the adult entertainment industry was revealed. Saying that she “feared for her life” due to Freeman's “hostile tone, mannerisms, and body language,” the star said that the treatment and her firing from the Teen Mom OG show was more than just terrifying or shocking.
However, Viacom denied that any of this had happened and went on to tell Us Weekly that it was Farrah's own decision to leave the show due to her distinctive career. The spokesperson of the company added, “We respect Farrah’s decision to pursue other endeavors, and we wish her the best," as they also discredited Farrah's allegations about the company and the executive producer and said, "Regarding her suit, the claims are without merit.”
The actress now parents her daughter Sophia, aged 12, and is also said to have undergone a terrible patch with Portwood when filming the 2016 reunion of the Teen Mom. However, she did not stop there and called her castmates from the show back in the day "The Three Stooges." The scuffle had broken out as Saran, a cast member from the show, called Portwood's boo a pedophile in a series of snaps, which she shot while watching the episodes of the show.
The star was about to apologize for her comment during the 2016 reunion that Abraham quipped that "He does look like a pedophile." Of course, Portwood heard this and jumped on stage to confront Farrah. Farrah's father stepped up too to defend his daughter.
Again, the fight between the two did make an impact on the latest reunion between Portwood, Bookout, aged 30, and Abraham during the 9B Reunion of the Teen Mom by MTV's. When asked how they felt about "hanging out" with Abraham, Portwood simply asked, “We really tried to make her feel better?” as seen in the trailer of Tuesday’s episode. Similarly, Bookout has her own version of the things and said that she would that the viewers rather first "get to know her" before they pass any judgments on the star.
Bookout noted that she has her own opinions about Abraham but urged viewers to “get to know her” before making any judgments.
In another interview with Dr. Drew, the host of the reunion, Bookout shared a few more things about Abraham. Apparently, when the lady was asked about Farrah “conflicting with the Teen Mom 2 women,” Bookout shared that the Dream Twenties author had issues with almost “everyone, to be honest.” However, Abraham was not let down with all the negative commentary against her and said that it was "so fun catching up" with her OG cast members from the Teen Mom show. A message by the author revealed that "some drama went down" when the ladies were together on the shoot's set, yet did not reveal much about what went wrong.
She has also revealed last year that she is not in touch with any of her fellow moms from her previous show and added that she was not very keen on contacting them in the first place. The star said in the February 2020 interview, “I don’t speak to people who don’t support me or bash me, who have tried to hurt me or my family,” and then added, “I wish all of the women all the best. I think that’s great — keep doing what they’re doing!”
The latest reunion of the teen moms from the OG series, Teen Mom" Family Reunion will air on MTV on Tuesday, January 11 the next year at 8 p.m. ET.
