Farrah Abraham is going up against Viacom. The Teen Mom OG star, 26, has sued the company and seeks $5 million, claiming that they “wrongfully terminated her employment because she did not conform to gender stereotypes,” IPRESSTV confirms.
In the documents first obtained by The Blast, the mother of 8-year-old Sophia claims that the show’s executive producer Morgan J. Freeman and his crew confronted her at her home in Texas and “harassed, humiliated, discriminated against, disrespected, ridiculed, degraded and sex shamed” her for working in the adult entertainment industry.
Viacom denied the claims in a statement to IPRESSTV. “We respect Farrah’s decision to pursue other endeavors and we wish her the best,” a spokesperson for Viacom said. “Regarding her suit, the claims are without merit.”
In November, the reality star claimed that Viacom had let her go due to her participation in “adult promotions and activities that other adults do for FREE or in private.” However, she later backtracked on her comments and said that while Freeman was “press hungry” and “fake,” she was not let go from the company.
