Mom of 'Teen Mom' Star Arrested for Assault

The life of one star of an MTV reality show gets a little too real.

Teen pregnancy is one of the most challenging hurdles life can throw a young girl. Mix young motherhood with appearing on a reality show dedicated to following the lives of teen mums and you've got a recipe for high drama.
You ain't kidding.
One of the teen moms from the MTV reality show "Teen Mom" was allegedly choked and hit by her own mother over the weekend. According to the incident report, Debra Danielson and her daughter, Farrah Abraham, 18, were bickering in the kitchen "over child care issues as well as other problems." The row escalated, and cops say Danielson began hitting her daughter, leaving "multiple cuts on her lip."
It's not the first time that Danielson has struck Abraham. The 54-year-old mom was also seen smacking her daughter across the mouth on the MTV show, "16 and Pregnant." Danielson will be arraigned Wednesday.
That is the first thing I thought when I heard it too… Although I am against violence- have you SEEN the way Farrah is??? She is the most bratty, selfish young “woman” I think I’ve ever laid eyes on. She is a poor excuse for a mother, she doesn’t even TRY to be there for her child, and when anyone tries to tell her she needs to be more involved, the snotty, entitled antics begin and of course she is the victim. Her little girl is going to start thinking her grandmother is actually her mother. Farrah- stop running around with different guys and start being a mom! You made your bed now lie in it! I’ve wanted to smack her in her mouth myself for all the direspectful crap that comes out of her mouth towards her parents… not surprised one bit
first of all no one “deserves” to be hit, that is a pretty appalling statement….and just because someone is a single mom does not mean that they can’t have someone, like the grandparents, babysit, so that they can date or spend time with friends…that is normal. most parents hire babysitters or have family members babysit, or use nannies, daycare, etc…so that they can have a break. why do people love to be so judgmental, or defend an abuser by claiming that the abused person somehow deserved it, so wrong!!
Why does Farrah behave as the “most bratty, selfish young “woman”? Because that is how her parents taught her to behave. And not that it is always the case but if Farrah’s parents had taught her properly maybe she wouldn’t be a teen mom getting hit by her own mother!
Jaime watch the show and you’ll change your opinion on her. It’s more than having her parents “babysit” her daughter. They are practically raising their own granddaughter while Farrah’s dating away. Plus she’s a snotty, spoiled bratt and does not understands she is now a mother not a teen. Enough said.
If Farrah was deciplined way earlier, she wouldn’t have been a teen mom. Then none of these would have been happening. She needs to grow up and be a mom!
I’m totally team debra! This is crazy that a mother cannot punish her own child! After watching the show, i’m sure Farrah has “embellished” a little to the cops about what her mom had done. If my daughter ever lipped back to me, she will definitly get a slap across the lips, just like my mom did to me. They’re is a differnce between punishment and abuse and i’m sure it was only punishment in this case!
If anyone has watched Farrah for a nano-second you would know she deserved it - and more! Good for Debra!!
@Jamie “and just because someone is a single mom does not mean that they can’t have someone, like the grandparents, babysit, so that they can date or spend time with friends” Um clearly you have not seen this show. All this chick does is abandon her child so she can date. And then curses out her parents who are caring for her child FOR FREE. When you become a mom you give up dating and hanging out with friends every day and every weekend. You become a MOM and take care of your baby.
ok i dont care what Farrah does or if she just hands her daughter to her parents so she can go out, i agree she does need to stop that and take more responsibility for her daughter but there is no excuse for abuse. ABUSE IS NOT RIGHT for any reason
Team Farrah
I agree Farrah is a woman with a child and in no way deserves to be hit. I can understand her mother’s frustration. A guy in the show chastized Farrah for hanging out with her friends in the wee hours and not being home with her little girl. I do think Farrah will need to stop thinking she is a “teen”. That went out with the baby water a few months ago. She needs to grow up, become a woman and tend to her daughter.
If all else fails, Farrah better identify Sofia’s father and make him responsible for his little girl, that way he takes an active role in babysitting her on weekends so she can go out. It’s not her mom’s full time job.
Farrah DID need to care more for her daughter! but that doesnt mean her mom had to hit/choke her! Farrah;s mom was mean from the start!
I too don’t agree with violence…but i do agree with a parent diciplining her child! From watching the show Farrah has it too good and she needs to learn!!…she and her child are living at her parents house for free and when her parents try to correct her actions she is extrememly rude it’s a shame!!..i could have never talked to my mother like that!..she is selfish and it’s not her parents job to raise her baby…find the child’s father and let him help!…Her parents are nice enought to help her and she is always rude and disgusting!..makes me sick watching her on that show..her mother most likely had enough of her nasty mouth!!
no one can be on her mom’s side, her mother is the reason farrah acts that way where do you think she learned the behavior from, besides you don’t attack someone unless they attack you, clearly farrah needs to leave her moms house she is abusive and was probaably always like that so no wonder farrah treats her mom so bad and doesn’t really know how to be a mom look who her role model is
Farrah is a brat, very disrespectful and ungrateful..I’ve been watching the show, she doesn’t just leave her baby with her parents on rare occasions she does it ALL the time; So she can go out every night of the week and weekends to party..She said “Why can’t they just let me be a normal teenager”..
WELL DUHH, She lost some of that privilege when she had a baby..It’s Farrah’s responsibility to raise and take care of HER child, NOT her parents..Farrah needs to grow up and stop leaving that baby with her parents all the time to take care of..She doesn’t spend much time with her own baby…Even her own baby turned away from her when she went to leave(once again) one night…Watch the show !!! She’s a sorry excuse for a Mother..
Even Farrah’s own sister told her to start spending time with her daughter! She’s a terrible mother!
WOW! It’s really sad that people who have seen the show think they “know” Farrah. Granted it’s called reality t.v but I think some people take that a bit too literally. There is NEVER an excuse for violence. I’m really appalled at the comments I’ve been reading. Where is the compassion? Violence is VIOLENCE and never okay.
i agree that farrah is bratty and has a sense of entitlement, but her mother is a basket case. incredibly controlling and flies off the handle for any little thing. each time she gets angry, she gets physical. she loves that farrah lives with her so she can control ever part of her life. if farrah left, all hell would break loose.
that is soo mean that her mom hit her i hated debra from the start and she deserves jail that is mean to hit your daughter
Okay, Farrah is horrible but physical violence is never the answer. Farrah’s mom needs to quit agreeing to watch the baby every second Farrah wants to act like a “normal teenager” as she says and goes out whenever she wants to. Farrah, you’re a mom now- watch your own dang kid!
no one ever deserves to be hit…that is the most ignorant comment I have ever heard







She deserved it! Have you seen Farrah on Teen Mom? She basically hands her daughter to her parents while she goes on dates with guys. Hello??!! You are a mother now. Take responsibility of your own daughter and take care of her. Your own parents should not be raising their own grand daughter will you are on dates with guys. Farrah’s main priority is boys not her daughter. Hope she has learned her lesson and decides to move out on her own. She’s making money from the show and couls afford to move out. It’s called being an adult and parent!
