This is crazy that you’re living like this.'” Farrah continued that she got paid $3500 from 16 and Pregnant and $25,000 total from her work on Teen Mom. She then said that her pals, Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Baltierra, who also rose to fame on the show were making significantly more.

I hear what they tell me and I get so upset.” Catelynn and Tyler, who are now married and raising three daughters, had their first child on the MTV series but made the tough decision to put her up for adoption due to being so young Admitting this made it even worse that they were being paid more, Farrah said: “For one, they don’t have a kid, I do. “I’m doing this on my f*cking own, against all odds, literally. Who’s really supporting me? No one.” The mum-of-one continued that she was ‘stuck’ under the same contract, which meant she struggled to negotiate a higher rate despite being paid less than co-stars. Despite the slow financial start, Farrah has since turned it around by releasing her own memoir and building a multi-million dollar career on X-rated content site OnlyFans. Comment now
