Farrah Abraham spoke with TMZ about all of the hate she was getting at Sophia Abraham's new snakebite lip piercings, saying, "I'm always open to talking."
Farrah, 31, said she's not opposed to other parents who allow their children to drink alcohol already as a youngster or have sex already as young teens. I've shown that on television. So I'm not going to really agree with my child dating or having sex right now [or] child experimenting with drugs and possibly dying right now. There's definitely real-life experiences that parents are going through that are likely to get rejected.
Farrah said she is "gratuitous" to be able to accompany my kid when she contemplates getting these piercings and those things. "I can only say that Sophia's body is still growing and she needed to wait to get all of the piercings she wanted," she said. "It's part of our children, just like I'm going through it later in life, reparing myself."
Sophia is doing this, and I'm providing her a safe and supportive place to do that as a teenager to reparent herself and to relearn things, and I think every generation is different, according to Farrah. Other than permanent things, such as tattoos, these are not things that need to be addressed.
"You know, birthdays are birthdays," she said, "and I think the kind of thing I'm instilling in my daughter on her birthday is to teach her self-care, self-love, and time with who she wants to be in a positive light." So I'm very proud of my daughter. She's on her own health journey. I couldn't be more proud of her."
Sophia had her septum pierced when she was 13 years old in 2022. "I am so happy with how it turned out!" she said at the time. "I am the first person in my family to get a septum piercing at 13!!"
