‘She forgets she’s a mom’: 'Teen Mom’ star Farrah Abraham slammed for taking Sophia, 14, to Coachella
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'Teen Mom' Star Farrah Abraham faced criticism online for her parenting decisions for taking her 14-year-old daughter Sophia to Coachella. Many on the internet expressed concerns that the festival atmosphere was not suitable for a young teenager, highlighting the potential exposure to mature content and risky behavior.
Some critics argued that Farrah sometimes forgets her role as a mother and fails to act responsibly, especially when it comes to ensuring her daughter's well-being and safety in such environments. Others targeted her for allowing her young daughter to wear excessive makeup, suggesting underlying "mommy issues."
"If I was Sophia, I'd be embarrassed to be there with Farrah," a user commented on Reddit. "Farrah definitely hopes to hear people confuse them for sisters everyday, it’s probably her goal in life lol," added another. "I don’t think Farrah would protect her from that. I think her presence would actually enforce dangerous behavior. Just my opinion. Farrah is not a good or even sane parent," wrote another fan.
Spme argued that Farrah acts like she's Sophie's friend not mother, "I agree she forgets she's mom, not her bestie or sister." "I know I'll be downvoted to oblivion for this, but when I see photos of Sophia, I don't think that kid has a great style. I see that kid as someone with serious mommy issues," added another.
How did Sophia’s father Derek Underwood die?
Farrah, who was 20 years old at the time, experienced a devastating loss when Derek died in a tragic car accident more than three years ago. Adding to her grief, she was pregnant with their daughter, Sophia, at the time. The loss shattered Farrah's dreams of building a perfect life with her partner and their baby, leaving her to navigate the challenges of parenthood and grief on her own.
"I got off the phone and I tried to calm down, but my mind was racing. Derek was the father of the baby I was carrying inside me. He was my first love, my only true love. We hadn't spoken in more than two months, but crazily I had still hoped we had a future together-me, him, and our baby, as one happy family," Farrah wrote in her biography.

She added further, “That’s part of a teen journey as I don’t have my belly button piercing anymore,” Abraham continued. “I have all the compassion for her as I wish I had as a teen.”
