Farrah Abraham is known as Teen Mom, and she became famous after she appeared in MTV’s 16 and Pregnant. Despite not being associated with the show anymore, she stayed in the spotlight due to her multiple business ventures, strong social media presence, and nonstop drama that has been surrounding her. Fans have anxiously waited to see Abraham’s boxing match, but she decided to drop out at the last minute, and that lead to a lawsuit.
Farrah’s drop out of the match
People published that Farrah Abraham and Nicole “Hoopz” Alexander will face each other in a charity match that was donating proceeds to an anti-bullying campaign. While Hoopz was excited for their face off, Farrah said the promoters were “in breach” of contract, as she stated, “They have not gotten flights or delivered on contractual obligations as well as safety.” The promoters denied these allegations and said that they did everything Farrah required on her contract. It seemed like Farrah and promoters could work all the problems out, but at the last minute, Farrah decided not to go through with the match. People reports her manager, David Weintraub, said, “The promoter has been in breach of the contract, he has not delivered on anything that was promised in the contract. … We wish him the best with the low-end, mockery of an exhibition fight.”
Damon Feldman, the promoter, didn’t like this. TMZ reported that he sued Farrah for $12,000 due to the fact that she took money upfront and signed the contract without actually participating. Her manager said, “We are truly wishing Damon the best with his frivolous lawsuit. Everyone must realize this guy broke his own contract with us & runs this ‘so-called’ business out of his studio apartment and doing ‘basement style event fights’ that no one watches. He should work a little harder to pay for travel/accommodations for the talent and team and then perhaps the talent will actually come.”
A cease and desist order by Damon Feldman
Even before this whole thing happened, Feldman served her with a cease and desist letter after she dropped out of the match because of her “defamatory statements and libelous communications” about the match. Attorney John A. Gallagher from the Gallagher Law Group stated Damon was “subjected to ridicule, scorn, embarrassment and potential loss of earnings” due to Abraham’s comments, which he also called “insulting, offensive and slanderous.”
