VIDEOS What Did Farrah Abraham Discuss During Dr Phil Taping?
According to reports today, breaking news about the Boston Bombers means pretty much all television scheduling went out the window Friday including Farrah Abraham’s ill-advised episode of Dr. Phil.
Jezebel.com notes “Coverage of the manhunt for Boston bombings suspect Dzhokar Tsarnaev has preempted everything on network television today, including [the] Dr. Phil episode that was to feature former Teen Mom star Farrah Abraham and her mom Debra… Sadly, we won’t get to see the full hour of Dr. Phil yelling his homespun wisdom at the single mom.”
So, instead of watching the full episode, here’s a summary from DrPhil.com that addresses the questions Abraham failed miserably while also failing to out-think the host.
In short, it’s a snide train wreck where Abraham becomes increasingly petulant and continues to offer implausible logic like how operating a vehicle drunk in order to park isn’t really drunk-driving, and how hiring an adult actor to make an adult movie somehow isn’t porno.
You can watch some preview videos below along with soundbites from the episode. This comprises approx. 15-20 minutes of what would have been an hour-long episode.
On why she appeared on 16 & Pregnant: “My ultimate goal, at that time, was to show a struggle, and no matter what, any teen who is pregnant can get through it. I graduated high school early. I had my daughter, and then it spun into Teen Mom. Teen Mom was for me to say, ‘OK, if I’m going to continue with TV, then what else am I going to show?’ For my current career goals, being a reality star has helped get me to step up as a business woman.”
On whether she made a porno: “I did not make a porn video,” she fights back, while admitting she hired a company who hired the male participant.
So what was it then: “I made my own personal video. My personal video does not show any other male’s face. He is just like the prop in the background. It’s more about me. I’m celebrating my body, and I’m showing my feminine side. This is something that never should have been talked about publicly, because it was something that I personally wanted when I’m older. I want those sexy photos of me of my best year.”
On whether she’s selling the tape: “I am not shopping the tape,” she continues.
But she actually is selling it: “If I’m going to release something because somebody’s already seen it, I really need to take into consideration my future, and yes, there is a money amount to that. I’m not going to just let something be out there for free that should have never been out there.”
On whether this makes her a porn star: “I am not a porn star,” she maintains. “I will never want to date a porn star. I don’t want to have anything to do with it.”
On James Deen telling the truth about this whole charade: “Why should you speak about a woman’s private business and not even consult with her first or wonder what this is going to do to her life?” she says.
On her own daughter: “I’m not worried about my daughter seeing this,” she says. “If she ever does bring it up, talks or asks questions or any of those things, I’m open. I’m honest, and we’ll deal with that.”
On whether she really thought this would “be under the radar” as she claims: “I really did, because I was really quiet,” Farrah says. “I don’t care what people believe,” she says.
Her father, Michael, gives his two cents: “My daughter is very attractive. She’s a model, and I started to temper myself a little bit thinking, maybe Playboy, maybe Penthouse, never that personal video being put out to the public.”
Her mother, Debra Danielsen, adds: “My hope, as a mom, is that this was not produced with the mindset of making money — a quick buck — or using poor judgment. I would love to see my daughter in a beautiful magazine… or creating something lovely. I don’t want people seeing my daughter exploited sexually.”
Then the reality star tries to ameliorate her decision to operate a vehicle while drunk. Her excuses don’t go over well.
The Teen Mom concedes she shouldn’t have done the show (and made a lying ass of herself), and Dr. Phil calls out her bratty behaviour.
On being on the show at all: “I’m sorry I’m here,” she tells Dr Phil. “You’re upset because I ask questions you don’t have good answers for,” Dr. Phil says. “You want to argue instead of being accountable… You have an incredible sense of entitlement, and when you don’t get your way, you get upset.”
