'Teen Mom': Farrah Abraham's 'Ghetto' Comment to Cory Wharton and Cheyenne Floyd Has Viewers Incensed

By Stephanie Downs

Farrah Abraham definitely made her presence known on Teen Mom: Family Reunion. The casts of Teen Mom OG and Teen Mom 2 didn't take kindly to her arrival. Fans also weren't on board with seeing the former Teen Mom OG star again. More specifically, they took her to task for calling Cory Wharton and Cheyenne Floyd "ghetto." Understandably, they didn't hold back their feelings about her inappropriate comment. 

When Abraham first arrived on the scene, numerous cast members immediately voiced their issues with her presence. Wharton then confronted her and asked her whether she believes that he and Floyd had a baby to get on Teen Mom OG. In turn, she said that she does feel that way and said, "I guess I feel really ghetto, too, like that." Of course, Wharton and Floyd, who are both Black, took issue with her referring to them as "ghetto" for welcoming their daughter, Ryder. Abraham later told the therapist at the retreat, Dr. Cheyenne Bryant, that everyone now viewed her as "racist" because of her comment. Despite the fact that it's 2022, she didn't seem to be aware that calling a Black individual "ghetto" would be offensive. 

The fans definitely did not appreciate the way that Abraham tried to frame the situation after saying such an ignorant comment to Wharton and Floyd. Viewers promptly took their frustrations to Twitter to share their feelings on how the situation unfolded. 

Unacceptable

Fans aren't buying that Abraham didn't know how grievous it was to use the word "ghetto" in reference to a Black man and woman. It was a major misstep.

Not Buying It

Many simply couldn't believe that Abraham said that she didn't fully understand why everyone would view her as "racist" after the incident. They're not buying what she's selling.

Can't Take It

Not OK

Out Of Line

Abraham's comment was too below the belt for some viewers. You simply "don't call people ghetto."

Farrah Speaks

After the episode aired, Abraham took to social media to release a statement. In her message, she called those associated with the show "deplorable" and even said that she's taking a step away from the franchise, for good this time.
