Farrah Abraham is defending her parenting decisions after critics slammed her for a decision involving her 13-year-old daughter.
The former Teen Mom star came under fire after sharing a TikTok of her daughter, Sophia, getting her septum pierced. Sophia also shared video of the piercing on her Instagram, noting it was a birthday gift.
"I got my septum piercing for for my birthday!" the teen captioned her post.
"I am so happy with how it turned out! I am the first person in my family to get a septum piercing at 13! Birthday wish came true!"
Fans commented saying Sophia was too young to get such a piercing.
"Are you serious?" one commenter asked. "A septum piercing for a 13-year-old year old? She's still a baby."
"Rocks for brains," another added.
Farrah defended herself in a discussion with TMZ.
"Her generation of 13 is much different than my generation of 13. Sophia is the first in my family to get a septum piercing. Especially at 13," Farrah noted.
"I would rather it be by a professional, sanitized and clean, than my teen dummy sneaking off and doing it herself and getting an infection."
"To those who might feel it is inappropriate that my daughter got her nose professionally done, legally done. I'm all about being legal," she added.
"We abided by the law. I am doing my best as a parent to make sure she is healthy and happy. I covered those bases. Congratulations to Sophia. I'm wishing her the best in her teen years and if she wants to get more piercings, more power to her."
