Farrah Abraham Named Ambassador for Sexual Positivity (Really)
Teen Mom OG firebrand Farrah Abraham has another impressive professional accomplishment to add to her burgeoning LinkedIn page:
The esteemed title of Ambassador for Sexual Positivity, courtesy of a prestigious organization that knows a thing or two about such things.
Everyone"s favorite reality star, frozen yogurt queen, part-time cam girl and general business mogul is happy to accept this honor, too.
Here"s how she earned it – and what she has to say about being a role model for the best kind of sexual energy (seriously, this is a thing) …
1. Farrah the Ambassador
Farrah Abraham was just granted a prestigious sexual ambassadorship. No greater honor can be bestowed upon a woman of her pedigree. But what the heck does that mean, you’re asking?
2. Putting the MV in MVP
It was announced that the (former?) MTV star has been named an MV Ambassador for adult video site ManyVids, where she will be promoting a platform of sexual positivity.
3. Turning a Negative Into a Positive
This is perhaps Farrah Abraham’s greatest skill as a businesswoman (no offense to her froyo franchises or other endeavors). In response to what she describes as bullying and sex shaming by MTV, which she says “fake fired” her over her sex industry dealings, she’s doubled down and changed the conversation with this esteemed new ambassadorship.
4. Much Love From ManyVids
“ManyVids is inspired by Farrah’s passionate dedication to making sure sex workers are treated with the respect and admiration they deserve,” the company, which describes itself as “the leading online destination for premium, original adult content,” said in a statement.
5. A Friend of Sex Workers
“The motivation behind everything we do is to empower sex workers to become independently successful by giving them the platform to be themselves,” ManyVids continued. “With that in mind, we couldn’t be happier to announce that Farrah Abraham has signed on to become the next MV Ambassador! We’re so thrilled to join forces with such an accomplished public figure who is using her star power to fight back against sex shaming.” You can’t make this stuff up.
6. Empowering Women and Promoting Hot, Consexual Sex
That is Farrah’s mission. “I believe now more than ever that it is the right time to be an MV Ambassador for Sexual Positivity,” Abraham said as part of the announcement. “I feel passionate about empowering men and women to have a healthy consensual sex life. I want to advocate to end sexual harassment.”

Russian Ambassador to Turkey Killed in Possible Terrorist Attack
Frightening news out of Turkey today, as Andrey Karlov, Russia’s ambassador to Turkey, was assassinated in what appears to be an attack motivated by Russia’s military presence in Syria.
A photo taken moments after the attack began circulating on social media this afternoon.
The image a wounded Karlov lying on the floor, while his unidentified assailant addresses onlookers:
“Allahu akbar (God is great),” the man reportedly shouted.
Witnesses say he proceeded to rave about the motivations behind his attack, chanting:
“Do not forget Aleppo! Do not forget Syria! Do not forget Aleppo! Do not forget Syria!”
Insiders report that Karlov died shortly after the attack.
The shooter, who opened fire at an event to celebrate the unveiling of an art exhibit, wounded at least three other people.
He was later killed by police.
The shooting comes on the heels of the Assad regimes victory over rebel forces in Aleppo.
The fate of the residents of Syria’s second-most populous city remains unclear, but Secretary of State John Kerry has described the situation in Aleppo as the worst humanitarian crisis since World War II.
While the shooter made his anger over the fall of Aleppo clear, he was likely motivated by a number of factors involving the complex relationship between the Turkish and Russian governments.
Relations between Turkey and Russia were badly damaged in November of 2015, when Turkish forces shot a Russian warplane out of the sky near the Syrian border.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan offered an olive branch to Vladimir Putin by writing an open letter of apoloigy to the family of the pilot of the downed plane.
As a result, when Erdogan quelled a military coup in July, Putin was among the first world leaders to call and offer support.
Putin’s partnership with the murderous Assad regime has long been a source of international scandal, and based on his comments, it seems that the shooter was outraged over Erdogan’s renewed relationship with Putin and tertiary connection to the massacres in Aleppo.
We’ll have further updates on this story as more information becomes available.

Tom Cruise: Abandoning Family to Become International Scientology Ambassador?
Yesterday, we reported on accusations about Tom Cruise’s bizarre justifications abandoning his daughter Suri.
Sources close to the actor have claimed that he hasn’t seen Suri in nearly three years and made no effort to contact the girl on her tenth birthday last month.
The alleged reason for Cruise completely cutting ties with his daughter and her mother, Katie Holmes, is unlikely to surprise those who are familiar with the details of the actor’s personal life.
Insiders claim that shortly after his divorce from Holmes, both she and Suri were branded as “Suppressive Persons” and “Potential Trouble Sources” by David Miscavige or some other high-ranking member of the Church of Scientology, and Cruise was encouraged to cut ties.
“Once you reach the mind-set where Tom is at, he doesn’t need much convincing. They believe the church is ultimately right, and abide by its demands,” says lapsed Scientologist and former friend of Cruise’s Gary Morehead.
“Miscavige would have hammered home to Tom that Suri has been infiltrated by a bad thetan,” he adds.
In this case, a thetan is a wayward soul that inhabits a human body and influences that person’s actions.
Several sources have claimed that Cruise wants to “cure” his daughter by enrolling her in a school for Scientologist children, but not surprisingly, Holmes is having none of that idea.
With that option cut off to him, it seems that Cruise may have decided to further cut ties with his family by basically living as a nomadic international ambassador for the the faith that’s played such an important role in his life.
According to TMZ Cruise has sold the mansion he once shared with Holmes for $ 40 million, and he seems to have no plans to buy a new home.
The site was unable to confirm that Cruise will be spending more time working with Miscavige and other CoS leaders, but all signs seem to point in that direction.
Cruise has been working less and less in Hollywood, and he already spends much of his time at Scientologist centers around the world.
He’s the been the public face of the controversial religion for decades now, and Church leaders are likely thrilled by the possibility of the once-beloved actor making a full-time commitment to their cause (if that turns out to be the case).
And at this point, he’s been absent from Suri’s life for so long that she likely won’t realize anything has changed.
