Teen Mom alum Farrah Abraham is facing controversy after a hairstylist alleged she left a 12-hour appointment for herself and daughter Sophia without paying or promoting the salon as promised. The salon owner's claims quickly circulated online, leading Abraham to address the allegations with her own take on the situation.

Why it matters

This incident highlights the ongoing challenges and tensions that can arise between celebrities and the service providers they work with, especially when it comes to payment, promotion, and managing expectations. It also sheds light on the potential power imbalances and vulnerabilities that smaller businesses and independent contractors can face when working with high-profile clients.

The details

Farrah Abraham visited Marseya McAnally, a hairstylist based in Fort Worth, Texas, to get her and her daughter, Sophia, prom-ready. McAnally said they were planning on doing a social media collaboration in which Abraham would promote her salon and the stylist behind it all by sharing before-and-after photos. However, McAnally alleged that Abraham showed up two hours late with matted hair, and after the 12-hour session, she left without paying and blocked the stylist before the agreed-upon collaboration could take place.

What they’re saying

“'If Farrah Abraham asks you to do her hair — DONT DO IT. I PROMISE ITS NOT WORTH IT. FARRAH ABRAHAM left without paying and blocked me before the collab she agreed to do. She's posting pictures and not giving credit like she agreed to do.'”

— Marseya McAnally, Hairstylist

“'I'm really sorry that this happened to you. You entrusted your time, money & resources to someone with privilege & was counting on them to honor that. I'm proud of you for speaking up, especially knowing that you're in a more vulnerable position than she is. That takes courage & it doesn't go unnoticed. I hope at least some of the stress is alleviated now & you're able to do something special with you & your beautiful family. It's only up from here, I promise!'”

— Tyler Baltierra, Fellow Teen Mom Alum

“'When a jealous fake mom runs her mouth & thinks I even need to grace her with responding back. ((THE JOKE OF THE SAME OLD NEGATIVITY — IM BORED & hair dressers need to take their mental health seriously & stop playing victim when she messages you first manipulating celebs for clout — it's sad when mentally ill people sabotage their own business from running their disrespectful mouths — harassing a celebrity collab & the celeb was kind to a jealous hater — enjoy posting my pictures cause your needy.'”
