Farrah Abraham’s A&E Sex-Tape Retelling Triggers Public Rebuttal From Her Mother

Debra Danielsen says the episode misrepresents events, ignoring what she describes as her daughter's mental-health challenges.

Overview

  • A&E’s Secrets of Celebrity Sex Tapes episode featuring Farrah Abraham released this week and has prompted fresh interviews from the former Teen Mom star.
  • Abraham says grief over Derek Underwood’s death, depression and a strained relationship with her mother shaped her decision to record the 2013 encounter, adding that a manager encouraged it and Gina Rodriguez floated the idea.
  • She maintains the video was not intended for public release and argues James Deen’s public comments drove its exposure; she later reached a reported seven-figure deal with Vivid Entertainment and a sequel followed.
  • In an interview with People, Abraham says she has made other private recordings with boyfriends since 2013 and that none of those partners talked to the press.
  • Danielsen tells The Ashley she found the program inaccurate, objects to the use of her image without permission, and faults the episode for omitting mental-health context while noting TV doctors have advised her.
