AceShowbiz - "Teen Mom OG" has found the replacement for Farrah Abraham. The 26-year-old reality star, who was fired from the MTV show over her decision to continue a career in pornography, is going to be replaced by "Teen Mom 3" star Mackenzie McKee. According to multiple sources, Mackenzie has begun filming for the show.
Mackenzie, who appeared in an episode of "16 and Pregnant" back in 2012, was previously rumored to be one of the frontrunners to replace Farrah. She appeared to further fuel the rumors by sharing a couple of photos on social media featuring EP Morgan J. Freeman. She also posted a snap of her sipping a cup of Starbucks coffee. For those who are fans of the franchise, the image served as a significant hint as "Teen Mom 3" producers were known to bring Starbucks coffee to the cast before the start of filming.
The news arrives after Farrah sued Viacom for $5 million earlier this week. Farrah stated in the lawsuit against Viacom, Eleventh Street Productions, Anxious Eleven and show producer Morgan J. Freeman that they "wrongfully terminated her employment because she did not conform to gender stereotypes."
She further claimed that Morgan confronted her at her Texas home back on October 30. The producer allegedly "harassed, humiliated, discriminated against, disrespected, ridiculed, degraded and sex shamed" the reality TV star for her "recent decision to pursue opportunities in the adult entertainment industry."
The 26-year-old mom, who previously released a sex tape with porn star James Dean in 2013, also added that Morgan made threats about "ending her career with MTV, sabotaging future deals Ms. Abraham had in place with MTV, and defaming her." The lawsuit continued, "Given Freeman's hostile tone, mannerisms and body language, Ms. Abraham feared for her life."
Farrah added that because she opted not to "conform to their gender stereotypes of how women should act and appear," she was fired from the remainder "Teen Mom" season. Dubbing the harassment "abusive" and "interfered" with her work performance and well being, Farrah also added that MTV ended their "lucrative deal" with her which they had been discussing for months due to the same reason.
