Farrah Abraham Porn Sequel Released After She Says Sex Tape 'Ruined My Life'
Vivid Entertainment announced that it was planning on releasing a sequel to Farrah Abraham's Backdoor Teen Mom, and its origins are just as murky as the teen mom's first foray into porn.
Abraham's lawyer recently told TMZ that his client did not approve a "Farrah 2: Backdoor and More." Abraham's camp says it has tried but failed to shut down the release of the second video slated to come out on February 13 (très romantique!). The sequel is apparently based on an hour of unreleased footage from her last shoot with James Deen. Vivid Entertainment told Fishwrapper (NSFW link) that the new tape features Abraham riding three different fantasy fetish swings as foreplay.
If you remember, Abraham claimed that the initial sex tape released by Vivid was a private tape meant for only the eyes of her and her "boyfriend" James Deen. Deen laughed off this explanation, but Abraham stuck to it on an episode of "Couples Therapy" last month. She later kinda sorta blamed her obvious lies on a contract that she (but apparently not Deen!) signed.
I'd chalk up her stance as a reluctant porn star to some sort of brilliant marketing scheme, except that the stories she's been telling tabloids sound so sad and awful. Last month, Abraham said she regrets releasing her first sex tape, “It made it hard to have friends and a private life and to trust family, who I feel use me for money. If I went back in time, I would not have done it. The sex tape ruined my life." This week she told In Touch that her her parents beat her as a child, and she was also the victim of multiple rapes: “I was drugged and raped more than once. I allowed the [wrong] type of people into my life." She says after her tape was released, she made appearance at strip clubs and porn conventions where she felt unsafe: “It was a very dark time.”
