MTV ‘Teen Mom’ Farrah Abraham Allegedly Choked By Her Mother
Farrah Abraham, one of the teen mothers featured in the MTV reality show ‘Teen Mom” was allegedly choked and hit by her mother, Debra Danielson, this weekend. Danielson is now facing domestic violence charges.
According to police mother and daughter were arguing over childcare issues when the altercation started. Debra threw a t-shirt at Farrah (an MTV shirt, no less) which landed near or on Farrah’s baby daughter Sophia. Farrah says she started yelling at her mother, who then grabbed Farrah and started choking her. Farrah was struck when she tried to push her mother’s hand away from her throat; officers say they observed multiple cuts on the right side of Farrah’s lips.
Farrah Abraham is one of four teen mothers starring in the MTV television series “Teen Mom,” which follows the lives of the four teens and how they are dealing with parenthood.

Is MTV Making Teen Moms into Stars? | Strollerderby commented on Feb 23 10 at 9:27 amj commented on Jan 19 10 at 6:58 ami find it absolutely horrifying that some people on twitter and tmz, are actually supporting the mother. that is beyond sick. this is NOT the first time this mother has physically abused her daughter. she hit her in the car during the first season. and what if she does the same thing to the granddaughter, will it be okay then too? some of those people at tmz are really really sick. her mother behaved like an absolute sociopath. she showed no emotion toward her daughter, when she was in pain, when she needed her help. she was aboslutely cold-blooded and when i was saw the story on tmz i wasn’t at all suprrised. i think the daughter should get as far away from this sociopath, because she might abuse her grandaughter as well. they feel nothing inside, they’re dead, they actually get a sadistic kick out of abusing people. she even tried to prevent her daughter from going ever, she wouldn’t even let her use her car and u need that for basic necessities for the baby.
not a farrah fan commented on Jan 20 10 at 4:52 pmComments Farrah’s mom had no right to put her hands on her, but I can understand the temptation, as I have wanted to smack her myself. She is a selfish spoiled irresponsible brat who spends no time with her baby, and when she does it seems like a chore. She should take parenting lessons from Maci or Amber. They have things much tougher than Farrah, but they truly shine!!!!
Dee commented on Jan 22 10 at 7:55 amSHE DESERVED IT. SHE IS A BRAT WHO HAD NO BUSINESS HAVING A BABY AND IS TOO BUSY LOOKING FOR D*CK TO CARE FOR HER BABY, (THAT’S WHAT GOT YOU IN THIS SITUATION IN THE FIRST PLACE FARRAH!!!) THAT BABY NEEDS TO BE TAKEN AWAY FROM HER. SHE WOULDN’T KNOW TO DO IF IT WASN’T FOR HER MOTHER. IF I WAS HER MOM I WOULD HAVE CHANGED THE LOCKS WHILE SHE WAS GONE!!! JUST ANOTHER CASE OF PEOPLE WHO DO NOT DESERVE A BLESSING LIKE SOPHIA! I WOULD NEVER TREAT MY KID LIKE THAT. EVEN IF THEY MADE A MISTAKE LIKE GETTING PREGNANT.
cb commented on Jan 30 10 at 7:57 amIf her mother was willing to hit her on camera, then we have no idea what went on behind the scenes. Her mother is overbearing and controlling and did nothing to emotionally support her. Financially supporting her is a completely separate issue.
The fact that she choked her and hit her hard enough to cut Farrah’s face indicates that her mom went way over the line. It is also very, very likely that her mom has been physically abusive to her her whole life in addition to being overbearing.
Yes, Farrah is spoiled. But if my baby’s father died shortly after the birth of my child (he may have died before, I don’t know the dates), and my overbearing mother (who financially supports me and my child) essentially forced me to cut off all ties from him, then I would be severely depressed. She barely has any friends and both her mom and her sister are not the kind of people I would want to discuss my feelings with. I wouldn’t be surprised if her mother said “Good” when she heard of the baby’s father’s death. Farrah is trying to make the best of the situation she has. She both goes to school and has a job, which is difficult to do even without a child. Seeing as her mom is a stay-at-home mom who has both the time and the finances to help, I can understand that she would want to go out on dates and hang out with friends.
Remember, MTV only films at certain times and only airs what makes compelling television. For all we know she is leaving the house a couple of times a week to go hang out with friends or go on dates. I may think she should spend more time with her child, but that does NOT make her a bad mother. If I were stuck in the situation she was, I would be keeping it together much, much worse. If I had a mother like she did, who raised her to be materialistic and a little bit of a bitch, I would probably come off just as selfish as Farrah does.
nicole commented on Feb 01 10 at 3:02 pmok common sense people when you have a smart mouth daughter i believe spear the rod or spoil the child i spear the rod you are the adult they are the child they need to respect you period point blank thats just the reality yeah choking was a little drastic but your child needs to know respect it doesnt matter if you are 18 your are still thier child.
LJ commented on Feb 01 10 at 5:17 pmSome of you people are idiots, is not watching Farrah’s baby while Farrah wanted to go be a “normal teenager” not supporting her? Is not waking up at 5 AM to feed Farrah’s baby not supporting her? Farrah doesn’t seem to understand her baby is a responsibility, not an option. Her mom does way more than Farrah does no doubt about it. As far as I’m concerned, Farrah needed the sense knocked into her.
tasha commented on Feb 02 10 at 8:06 amI think that Farrah has come a long way from the beginning…raising a baby by yourself is hard, i have a 5 month and my fiance helps but not that much. It also has to be hard for you considering her babys father died after sge cut him out of her life. She probably regrets never telling him that he was going to have a baby and you never know maybe he would still be alive and in both of their lives if her mother wasnt so controlling. Her mom does help her out a lot but she has no right laying a hand on her. And clearly her fathew is whipped too because he doesnt say anything when her and her mother get into it.
trina commented on Feb 08 10 at 3:09 pmI agree “not a farrah fan” farrahs mom is just aggravted with how ignorant and dumb her daughter is being, i can see how all the build up frustration added up to her hitting farrah!! and yeah farrah is living proof OF A SPOILED LITTLE BRAT!! my daughter would never speak and do the things farrahs does and get away with it..I think farrahs parents were too nice for too long..one thing that gets me tho is how farrah was pushing the dad away she didnt tell him she was preganant he found out through rumors and her mom and dad made her stop contact with him and then he crashed his car and died…. farrah should feel like crap,reguardless if you baby daddy was imature doesnt mean he wouldnt have manned up and been a good father!!!
heather commented on Feb 13 10 at 4:15 pmferrah needs her ass beat end of story, shes a spoiled peice of shit. her mother should of beat the shit out of her sooner. what the hell has society come too?
Brittany commented on Feb 23 10 at 10:28 amummm, everyone.. do you not understand that farrah doesn’t deserve that? it’s obviously her mother’s fault that she acts like a spoiled brat, people don’t just come out that way. so, her mother created that horrible monster of farrah, and now it’s too late to change it, so she decides to abuse her. that doesn’t seem right now does it? everybody needs to get their own lives and stop trying to start stuff about famous people that you are all jealous of anyways. get lives, k thanks. =]
nunguis commented on Feb 25 10 at 10:30 pmComments nobody has the right to hit you period! i watched the show from 16 and pregnant and yes farrah seemed to be a bitch with her parents but i believe that there was more to the story than what we saw on tv first of all lets give some credit for working and going to school or maybe she should have stayed home like amber and maci and get welfare! i guess that would make her a better person to some of you she was the only one raising a child single yes with the help of her parents but so did the other girls, i never saw them going to work and amber house was a mess most of the time,maci qiut school because it was to hard! give me a break. the only one that i gave any credit to was FARRAH she did the best she could, and with a mother like her as cold and mean i’m surprised she even kept the baby and is trying to make the best of her life i wish that other teen moms would follow in her footsteps and try to make a better life for their kids.
nessa commented on Mar 16 10 at 3:12 amAlright we yall know that physical violence is “not” the answer,,blah blah blah.. alright now for the REALITY CHECK!–>Farrah deserves every bit of tough love she can get. that girl simply doesn’t have any respect for either of her parents, she should have gotten an ass whooping a looong time ago and then maybe she wouldn’t be such a disrespectful, sad excuse for a mother. Farrah definitely needs some growing up to do, she needs to realize all that her parents are and have done for her and Sophia..she should be grateful that her parents were so supportive during her pregnancy and didn’t just kick her out of the house like many parents of teen mothers do. Her mother is NOT controlling, she just has common sense and was trying to get Farrah to grow up and be a good mother! so what if she smacked around her daughter?? SHE DESERVED IT, i would never call the cops on my own mother simply because we had a argument! that’s pathetic. anyone who is saying that Debra is a crazy and violent , you guys just aren’t being realistic. Farrah called her father by his name the whooooole show, that should say enough. simply the way she talked to her parents and was so clueless about life and responsibility, that chick needs to get some tough love. I am her age, and i can tell you that if she was my daughter she would have gotten a good ass whoopin a loooong time ago and maybe then she wouldn’t be such a disrespectful snob in need of mother lessons.
Caitlin.DeNae commented on Mar 26 10 at 1:30 pmI agree with everyone, yes Farrah is a spoiled brat at times, she is also just trying to have the most normal life possible. And her mother is a bit harsh at time, and should realize there are other ways to get through to her daughter than getting physical with her.
aha commented on May 03 10 at 3:50 pmI don’t blame the mother >:)
sam commented on May 10 10 at 7:41 pmshes fit though!!!
KEHFL26 commented on Jul 03 10 at 4:28 pmi think her mother is a pilled-out lunatic. she looks and speaks like she is on some kind of opiates. i feel bad for farrah…i think her mother is very controlling and farrah is the last thing she thinks she still has control over since the husband left her.
abbie commented on Jul 06 10 at 5:21 pmfarrah should beat the crap out of her momma
angela commented on Jul 20 10 at 8:11 pmI’ll say this much… as a woman who has been back handed by my mom… Farrah was a brat… she spent most of her time (portrayed on the show) looking for guys, and when she did spend time with her daughter she acted like it was such a big deal. I don’t feel sorry for her whatsoever and, i’m almost positive this would not have been that big of a deal if farrah wasn’t so called “famous” you back talk you deserve to get a pop in the mouth! it happens everyday!!
Amanda Tollington commented on Jul 20 10 at 11:14 pmHow can she treat her mom that way? Most teenage moms would not have a mother who gave two cents about them. She has a mother who does and she talks to her like crap. How can she disrespect her parents so much? I think it began with bad parenting by her mother to Farrah. Her mother gave her everything she needed. Farrah is one of the “entitled” children of this generation. She believes that her mother is wrong for providing motherly guidance and direction. She believes her mother “should” do what Farrah tells her to do and that is it. Farrah is a sad girl and she will lose her family at the rate she is going. She will realize her mistakes when she is alone and in her 30s.
Lisi commented on Jul 20 10 at 11:24 pmFarrah crossed the line with this one. To be honest, when I was little to this day (i’m 23) if I ever said anything disrespectful to my mother she’d smack me upside the head easily, i am a foot taller and probably weigh 30lbs more than her, she’s a small woman and I am scared shitless of her not because my moms a psychopath but because she has taught me that she is my mother, the woman who birthed me and went thru shit her entire life to give me a proper life and raise me good, and for me to act like Farrah does to her mom, my mom would drill me a new asshole in a second and i love my mom for that because she has taught me so much and not in anyway was my mom abusive to give me bruises or cuts and in that department i do think Farrahs mom went overboard. But i STILL THINK farrah shouldnt have involved the police, she should have left…and farrah im pretty sure looks at the tapes that were taped from previous episodes and she needs to realize what a brat she is and the way that she talks to her mother, she will pass along to her own daughter and before she knows it her own daughter will be telling HER to shut the FUK up! I hope that this police shit clears out because i saw the new episode of seasn2 and her mother looked heartbroken,i cried watching it. Shame on Farrah, if my mother helped me with MY baby like that financially and emotionally and physically id roll out a red carpet for that woman everywhere she walked,instead Farrah pissed all over her mother and father. Shame on her!
kt commented on Jul 21 10 at 3:31 amThis hit very close to home for me. I have been watching Teen Mom from the beginning and have always said how Farrah reminded me of my daughter. People who posted bad comments on the mother,you have no clue what the mother has gone through. Have you wondered what Farrah was like before the baby? One can only imagine. If anything like my situation Farrah hit first. One thing led to another and Farrah called the police because her mother slapped her for the lack of respect we all have seen. Farrah told her exaggerated story and the mother keep her story quite to protect Farrah and the baby. Therefore the mother is the one to go to jail. There are always two sides to every story. We will never know what really happen. But the show tells you what kind of mother she is, A mother who is willing continue to go beyond the call of motherhood and care for her spoiled rotten child and her baby. What would Farrah do without her parents support? I feel for the mother. Trying to lead your kids in the right path is difficult and even more so when your child has zero respect or appreciation for her parents
A commented on Jul 22 10 at 1:26 amEven if she is spoiled her mom needs to be knocked around. As far as people talking shit about her baby daddy he died. So talking crap about him is uncalled for. Some people have more spoiled children than others. Her parents made her the way she is. They should choke themselves if they don’t like it. Yeah her mom took care of her baby on camera but it makes a better show that way. Her mom is a big biotch and should have never hit her. From the first time she hit her on camera we all knew her mom was abusive and I am sure Farrah has fear of her crazy ass mother.
A commented on Jul 22 10 at 1:27 amIf you child has no respect that is the parents fault…

misslady commented on Jul 24 10 at 2:39 pmI think farrah needed that ass whooped,disrepectful is all that I have to say (shes lucky that she doesnt have a black mother) because if she did she would know better than to treat her mother like that on national TV and to every one who thinks farrah is right then you need to foot her bills and let her live in your house and talk to you like that. I KNOW THAT IF MY TWO BOYS EVER IN THEIR NATURAL LIFE TALK TO ME IN THAT MANNER ITS OVER CAMERAS OFF SHOW OVER I BIRTHED YOU AND TOOK CARE OF YOU ENOUGH SAID!!!!
misslady commented on Jul 24 10 at 2:43 pmAs far as the baby daddy is concerned I feel bad before he died he never knew about his child and that is no ones fault but farrahs she is grown enough to talk to her parents like that but not grown enough to be real and tell her baby father what the real deal is… she will have to explain that to her baby why she does not know her father and how he never got a chance to be in her life
hisqueen commented on Jul 27 10 at 5:18 pmFarrah’s mom is crazy. I have always thought that she is rude and she is a bitch. She takes for granted that Farrah is a single mother, i think if Farrah had her babies dad around the mother wouldn’t act like that. But on the other hand Farrah acts like a spoiled ass brat. She treats her mom like shit also. The mom is trying to be a mother to Farrah and a friend but i hate to tell her she should of been doing that from day one and Farrah wouldn’t be in this situation to begin with.
LadyBird commented on Aug 02 10 at 4:40 pmThat “little” girl needs her ass kicked. She had it coming. Her parents do everything for her, even help raise her own child, and Farrah treats them like shit. I’m sorry but just because you had a kid at 16, doesn’t mean the world owes you something. If I talked that way to my mom….she would kick my ass too!
Heidi commented on Sep 19 10 at 10:28 pmmy mom is an amazing mother, and when i was a teen, we fought constantly. she and i had our own version of UFC, and she put me in my place many times. and to be honest with you, i deserved it all. i was a smart mouth little brat. i never talked to my mom like sophia does her mother, and her mom has a whole hell of alot more patience than mine ever did. sophia’s a good mom to a certain degree. i’m a mother of a 6 month old little boy, and all of us mothers can admit we’ve made mistakes, but learned by them. i can imagine it’s harder for her because she’s constantly in the spot light. but i can tell you all right now, if sophia had my mom, she’d have had her ass paddled as a little girl, and she would know you don’t speak to your mother OR father the way she does.
