Farrah abusing Debra

I am no fan of either Farrah or Debra. But nobody deserves the abuse Farrah gives her mom.
It is an incredible amount of verbal, mental and emotional abuse (and possibly physical that we don't see. Would not be shocking). And I am
ashamed of MTV for not only
accepting this, but actually using it for ratings.
I would like to believe that it is faked for the show. But unfortunately, I think Farrah truly is that evil and mental.
I cannot believe that DCS has not stepped in, with Sophia being witness to this. It is so toxic!!
Farrah is one of the most insecure and jealous people I have ever seen. And talk about overcompensating. Geez!!

I thought the exact same thing. How can Debra put up with that. Is money really worth that abuse? Or does she stay for Sophia?

And yes, how does Farrah still have custody of a child???

[–] m_a83 8 years ago

I think Debra likes to look like the victim. Farrah is horrible, and I absolutely agree that Debra shouldn't have to put up with it, but I think Debra gave Farrah a pretty terrible childhood and is now pretending to be a saint who gave her daughter the best upbringing she could and is now being treated unfairly.

Michael seems to have figured out that to have any kind of relationship with Farrah he needs to keep his distance. Debra needs to figure that out, too. They might actually manage to be civil to each other if they aren't seeing each other every second of every day.

I think Debrah is in complete denial of her treatment of Farrah growing up. She did lie when she said "I never hit you." We all saw Debrah slap Farrah in the car during 16 & Pregnant.

This absolutely doesn't justify Farrah's treatment of her mom.

I do think Debrah enjoys the income from MTV for being on the show. She obviously adores Sophia so it's two fold for her. It's worth it.

Farrah has custody because no one is challenging her for it. Debrah would lose that battle and so would Michael. Derek's family must not think it's serious enough to act on it.

I find it hilarious that being slapped by your mother is now a cause for someone to act like they were abused. We have absolutely no evidence that Farrah had a terrible childhood caused by Debra and yet I keep hearing people repeat this. Farrah is the way she is because she's a narcissist and a sociopath. Being on TV and getting a lot of money just amplified a vile personality that was already there.

People must be saying *beep* *beep* on twitter& stuff because she made a snap chat about how the haters are the most horrible people-while wearing these big froco Harry Potter looking glasses.

And yes I follow her on snap chat, lol.

I think that MTV should at least post a disclaimer - if someone you know is being mentally abused, etc. - after Farrah's segments. Her behavior is disgraceful.

How old does Deb have to be to qualify as an abused elder?

[–] Melancholy11 8 years ago

65? I'm guessing though.

[–] Junekids0204 8 years ago

Depending on which state you reside in, usually 65 (for elder abuse). Re;custody of Sophia, again depending on the state, but Farrah's treatment of Sophia doesn't meet the definition of a use/neglect. Mental abuse is really hard to quantify/prove.

Whatever happened to Farrah's sister?

[–] trump16 8 years ago

Then what is wrong with Debra? Why doesn't she get a life of her own instead of leeching off her adult daughter? There's something really wrong with Debra, too.

[–] jomccallister 8 years ago

They are both definitely messed up.
Debra seems codependent and Farrah is just mean spirited.
But regardless of how needy or codependent Debra is, no way does she deserve that kinda treatment.
If Farrah really can't control herself, then she needs anger management or something. And if Deb is the trigger, they need to seperate completely.
Not healthy at all! And so sad that Sophia is witness to such vile behavior.

[–] willbraham87 8 years ago

Farrah thinks she's paying her mom back for whatever abuse she experienced as a child.

The biggest issues is she's creating an disastrous example for Sophia who is already a little bit messed up.

I fear Sophia will become 10x as worse as Farrah.

It's like a big cycle.

Mother abuses daughter, daughter abuses mother, daughter sees mother abuse grandmother.

[–] collin_a_1999 8 years ago

I can't help but think that Farrah is mostly yelling at her mother for the cameras and that her mom is aware ahead of time that she is going to get yelled at. It makes no sense why she would stick around for the verbal abuse unless she just likes the money and fame of MTV. Maybe now that Debra is marrying that Doctor she won't be around as much to get yelled at.

[–] RiseyRisa 8 years ago

I do think Debra is a willing victim. In a way. But that scene where she was crying in her room and Sophia came in killed me. I really do think Debra wants to make Farrah happy and be able to see Sophia as much as possible. Because let's be honest- I think of Debra and Farrah weren't speaking she likely wouldn't get to see her grand daughter much at all. So I think people just simply saying Debra likes to be the victim are not seeing the full picture. Yes she is a willing victim, but I feel she has best intentions at heart and loves Sophia very much so tries to put up with as much as she can from Farrah.

Its hard to watch. Im not a fan of debrah but daam thats tough. I do believe she deals with it for the $$$ i remember her asking farrah to pay for her plastic surgeries awhile back. Everyone around farrah tolerate her for money and sophia. Her sister is the only smart one i guess. And i agree this behavior with denrah is for watever childhood abuse she went through. Its like a payback i guess. Cant stand that girl. She really is a piece of trash.

[–] MadameRoyale 8 years ago

What abuse did Farrah suffer? Seriously where is the evidence of this? Frankly, anything that doesn't agree with what Farrah wants is probably considered abuse to her. And don't even mention her being slapped by her mother because that's not evidence of child abuse. I just don't get why people think there is some deep rooted reason Farrah is the way she is rather than just accepting that she a severe personality disorder.
