Farrah Abraham is sounding off on Maitland Ward, the Boy Meets World alum-turned-adult film star, for saying “negative things” about her in the new A&E docuseries, Secrets of Celebrity Sex Tapes.
The show, which premiered on Sept. 8, does a deep dive into some of the most infamous celebrity sex tapes and their cultural effects. Abraham, who rose to fame on MTV’s 16 and Pregnant and Teen Mom, will be featured in the Sept. 22 episode, marking the first time she’s ever spoken about her sex tape, titled Farrah Superstar: Backdoor Teen Mom, in a documentary.
The tape, which Abraham reportedly sold to Vivid Entertainment for more than $1 million in 2013, has been riddled with controversy ever since its release. Through the years, Abraham has maintained that she made the tape for her eyes only, but decided to sell it to “gain control” over the video after Deen revealed to the public that they had “made a porn” together. With the tape doing even better than Kim Kardashian’s upon its release, Abraham went on to have a successful career in the adult entertainment industry, selling sex toys that replicated her own anatomy, making appearances at the AVN Awards, and, most recently, finding a lucrative career on OnlyFans.
Ward, who began her career in porn in 2019, was one of the adult film stars featured in the docuseries who doubted whether Abraham truly wanted to keep her sex tape under wraps. The White Chicks star claims in the episode that celebrities “produce” tapes, then “act like it’s stolen” to gain popularity.
When Decider caught up with Abraham, she slammed Ward for appearing in the documentary and accused the former actress of clout-chasing by speaking negatively about her.
“I want her to hear this loud and clear. I am not here to appease people in adult entertainment. She can appease them. She can have people-pleasing issues her whole life. I feel very bad for her, but I want it to be very clear that she has no right to speak about me,” Abraham said. “It was a joke that I even saw her comment, and I hope whatever pay day and little attention that she gets from showing up and saying negative things about a woman—she needs to go work on toxic masculinity issues. I wish her all the best.”
Abraham, who said she blocked Ward from her social media, also took shots at The Bold and the Beautiful alum’s career in the adult entertainment industry.
“Honestly, her porn career is nowhere of success,” she said. “I don’t know who she is. I don’t care if she was in White Chicks. I don’t care if she was in Boy Meets World. I never paid attention to her, and I’m still not going to pay attention to her in porn. So, she needs to figure out how to be a successful woman. She should take note of my episode. The end.”
When it comes to people accusing Abraham of producing the sex tape with the intention to release it, the reality star said that couldn’t be further from the truth.
“This video was not for public consumption. This video was for me. If I want to record it how I want to record it, cool,” she said, shutting down rumors that there was “a whole crew” filming her and Deen behind the camera.
“Stop insinuating that there was anyone around me during sex,” she continued. “If you saw someone there, then you could ask me about it. But no one saw that. Like, there was lighting in my shower? What is going on with people trying to just claw and attach themselves to someone who is famous?”
Abraham’s episode of Secrets of Celebrity Sex Tapes will air on Monday, Sept. 22 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on A&E.
