Many people once again question Farrah Abraham's parenting skills. They attacked the "Teen Mom OG" star on social media after she posted a picture of her posing with her daughter Sophia to promote weight-loss and detox tea.
The snap, posted on Instagram Tuesday, November 1, featured the MTV star holding the tea and smiling at the camera while her 7-year-old daughter was drinking something from a tumbler. "Teatime @flattummytea @sophialabraham & I- after all that candy," read the caption.
According to its package and website, the tea contains laxatives and is expected to "help reduce bloating, support your metabolism and increase energy to help flatten your tummy." Many followers who assumed that Sophia was drinking the tea then called Farrah out in the comment section.
"You don't give your daughter a Ton of candy then make her take a laxative so she won't get fat. Give me a break," one commenter said. "Please tell me that you're not giving this garbage tea to your daughter! It's a laxative!" another wrote.
"You recently said in an interview 'I now will not have my child around an unsafe environment.' um.. What you're doing to your child is unsafe. Practice what you preach," another added. "The only logical thing I can think of for your behavior is that you sold your soul which further explains why you're so heartless. She is a CHILD. Let her be a CHILD."
However, critics shouldn't have to worry about Sophia because she didn't actually drink the tea. Following the backlash, Farrah told Us Weekly that she's the one drinking and promoting the product. "She has strawberry milk and I have my tea," she said. "She wanted to take a pic like that, so no, my daughter does not have [tea] in her cup."
This is hardly Farrah's first time to have been slammed for her parenting skills. The former adult star was also criticized for making her daughter, who started modeling career a few months ago, wear inappropriate outfits and make-up for a photoshoot.
