Hi, I’m Aaricka!

If you're enjoying this article, you'll love my daily morning newsletter, How To LA. Every weekday, you'll get fresh, community-driven stories that catch you up with our independent local news.

Farrah Abraham just keeps the hits coming. The former "Teen Mom" star, who recently released her first pornographic film, told US Weekly that the haters should stop hating because all she's trying to do is be a good role model.

"I am trying to be a role model for the other Teen Moms," she told the tabloid. "I try not to knock them down. I try to better them."

Her comments came on the heels of fellow "Teen Mom" star Catelyn Lowell's tweet that Farrah sounded like an animal meeting its maker:

All I have to say Is she sounds like a dying horse!! 😂 U kno who I'm talking about

In response, Abraham also let fly with this not-veiled-at-all insult: "Catelynn has a weight issue, but I don't say harsh things about her to hurt her self-esteem."

The comment unleashed a torrent of angry tweets from Catelynn:

Go ahead call me on my weight issues when u see me next time ill look way hotter than u so get a life! #rolemodelmyass
