Earlier this week, we reported that Farrah Abraham has been fired from Teen Mom: OG after seven seasons as one of the stars of MTV"s flagship reality series.
The mother of one says she was let go as a result of her recent sex work, and indeed, the network was probably less than thrilled with Farrah masturbating on a live stream in front of thousands of viewers.
But that was just one of many reasons that the controversial reality-star-tuned-porn-star might have been cut loose by MTV.
Check out our full breakdown of the surprisingly complex feud between Mrs. Abraham and the network that made her famous:
