In an exclusive interview with The Celeb Report, Debra slammed the stars of the show, which now include Cheyenne Floyd and Mackenzie McKee, for allegedly not focusing on careers outside of the series.
Debra said: “It’s unfortunate if they don’t develop or invest in themselves because the show won’t go on until they’re 65. They need to do something where they can generate income and have a life after reality TV.
“I would encourage other people on the show to look at Farrah, even though they hate her, step back and say, ‘I should go to school or take a class? What can I do to earn an income without MTV here anymore?’”
During Farrah’s time on Teen Mom OG, she opened Texas-based yogurt shop Froco Fresh Frozen, which lasted just two years.

But with her alleged Ivy League credentials back up on the professional networking site, her mom Debra previously to The Celeb Report that her daughter has “receipts” to prove her enrollment.
Debra previously said: “Farrah is doing online classes at Harvard to further her entertainment career. It’s not to be an actress. It’s to do production, writing, storytelling, directing and more.
“She sent in the receipts to LinkedIn to show she paid for the classes. It’s back up on her LinkedIn. She’s definitely enrolled.”
Debra added that her daughter is “not on the campus” and is “doing classes online.”
She shot back at those who questioned her daughter: “A lot of haters don’t know what Harvard offers online. I can see where people get confused. Harvard offers online classes and they do specialize in entertainment classes. Most people think of law school or business school. Harvard makes you buckle down and focus!”
