Teen Mom Farrah Abraham slammed for homeschooling Sophia, 12, in ‘tiny’ bedroom as fans fear for ‘isolated’ preteen
FARRAH Abraham has been slammed for homeschooling her daughter Sophia in the preteen’s “tiny” bedroom.
Teen Mom OG star Sophia, 12, shared a video of her studying set-up on TikTok, explaining to fans that she doesn’t have a desk and works from her bed.
Sophia panned around her narrow room at their LA apartment, which has a single bed with red and black checked sheets, a bedside table and large windows.
She told the camera: “Today I’m going to be sharing with you how I study and work.
“First, get rid of any distractions. My biggest distractions are my dogs because they love my room. They never leave my room. But anyways, they have to go.”
The youngster then panned to her iPad, notebook and pens on her bed and explained: “I work on my bed, I do not like desks.”
Fans shared their concern for Sophia, claiming she seems “isolated” and should be socializing with other kids in school.
“She needs to go to ‘real’ school to interact with other kids. Or at least play a sport or something. She’s so isolated,” one wrote on Reddit.

“She has the demeanor of a child who doesn’t spend time with other children and it makes me sad,” another added.
A third posted, “That room is tiny! How can she be expected to study there every day?”
This is not the first time Farrah has faced backlash over her parenting of her only child.
Farrah recently insisted Sophia “is fine” after sparking concern by admitting Child Protective Services once threatened to take her daughter away.
While taking to TikTok, Sophia defended her mother’s actions by telling the camera: “I got a bed, I got a roof, and I’m fine.”
Farrah then chimed in to sarcastically reiterate her daughter’s claims, saying: “Oh my God I got a bed and a roof and I’m fine and I eat and I sleep and I have good mental health. I’m like overall an amazing person.”
Sophia interjected to refer to the “Saving Sophia” plea that fans called for in recent weeks, while Farrah replied: “Saving Sophia. Is that like Saving Private Ryan? Did I miss the show?”
FARRAH’S ARREST
Meanwhile, earlier this month Farrah was arrested after she allegedly “slapped a security guard” at Grandmaster Records in Hollywood.
She had been at the venue partying with a friend, TMZ reported.
A witness to Farrah’s arrest told the outlet that someone in the club allegedly assaulted them, noting that the person was described as a Farrah “hater.”
The former reality star grew angry, and was asked to leave the club. She refused to leave and then allegedly slapped the security guard involved.
A source told the outlet that cops weren’t called immediately, though paramedics were.
Once they arrived, someone presumed to be Farrah grew aggressive and police were contacted for backup.
HITTING OUT
One day later, she shared video of herself on the ground in the midst of the altercation.
The Teen Mom OG alum was on her stomach in the clip, with a security guard holding her arms back and pushing her leg down.
Farrah attempted to move her body as the security guard restrained her through out the incident.
She captioned the post: “Never again.”
In another slide, Farrah tagged the venue and said: “What a horrible dining experience being battered and assaulted by your staff. Such and unsafe, disturbing environment.”
Farrah continued slamming the venue in a follow up post, writing: “The staff yet again attack a paying customer and hold me against my will and hurt me.
“The only 1 out of 3, woman abuse must stop.”
Farrah alleged that the staff “should be in jail.”
