Last month Farrah reflected on her 2013 sex tape, Backdoor Teen Mom.
Despite the X-rated video becoming a best seller and catapulting the reality star to new heights of fame, she has always denied producing the tape herself.
In a recent interview, Farrah claimed tape was her former management’s idea – and her own father ultimately helped her negotiate a deal with a porn company for its release.
‘I was a hot mess. Definitely hanging around with the wrong people,’ she shared on the Holly Randall Unfiltered podcast.
‘I handled it as best as I could. I feel like I handled it with grace compared to what I really know that I went through,’ she continued.
‘I think some other people were like, “Yeah Farrah, make the best out of it.” And that’s kind of really where my parents stood, so I had my dad [Michael] come with me and my daughter [Sophia].
‘It’s just like, I’m a young teen mom. This is how I handle it. It’s not like I have Kris Jenner and the Kardashians forging some celebrity sex tape deal.’
Farrah’s video was released in 2013 when she was 22.

A few months before the tape’s release, Farrah, her father Michael, and her young daughter Sophia were spotted by TMZ heading to a porn company to negotiate the release of the tape.
‘Are you here to negotiate for your daughter?’ a reporter asked Michael, who then responded, ‘I’m just here to support my daughter.’
The reporter pressed the topic and asked, ‘Are you helping her out in terms of negotiating the terms?’
Michael replied, ‘She’s just trying to figure out what’s going on.’
Farrah then chimed in and said that she’d received offers from two other companies and that she was thankful for her father ‘helping out’ with the difficult situation.
During a 2013 appearance on Dr Phil, Farrah insisted that she had filmed the sex tape for her own personal use and never intended for it to be released.
She then blamed her sex tape co-star, actor and professional porn performer James Deen, for making the tape public so he could ‘promote himself’ and ‘get more famous.’
However, Deen had a different story, telling both Playboy and TMZ that he had been approached by a porn company to create a celebrity sex tape with Farrah.

During a 2013 appearance on The Adam Carolla Show, Deen described filming the video with Farrah as a ‘day at the office.’
He also said that a director was involved in the video, despite the fact that it was filmed to look like a homemade sex tape as opposed to a professional adult film.
‘Before the scene, [Farrah] seemed very awkward and bizarre about it, like it wasn’t something that she was into doing,’ he admitted.
After the release of Backdoor Teen Mom, Farrah cashed-in on her adult fame by releasing a mold of her genitals through a sex toy company.
She also released a trilogy of erotic novels and signed a lucrative contract to work at a strip club in Austin, Texas.
In 2017, she was fired from MTV’s Teen Mom OG for her work in the adult industry.
Farrah now sells explicit content on OnlyFans and ManyVids, and also has a page on Playboy’s creator platform.
