10 Embarrassing Ways Celebs Tried To Regain Lost Fame

8. Farrah Abraham Looked Back To Go Forward

If there's one thing recent pop culture has taught us, it's that reality television is never at its peak unless it's embarrassing, tragic, awkward or some sick combination of the three. It has shown viewers who they really are: rubberneckers at a gory traffic accident who can't wait to see the blood and guts. Marvelous technology at our fingertips and instead of aspiring to better, we want to see how far down we can go.

Of course, this is nothing new, it's just more blatant. That explains the popularity of "16 and Pregnant", an MTV show that ran for five seasons, documenting the hardships of being a pregnant teenager. There's certainly a way to approach such a complex issue with dignity, but this was MTV, so that wasn't an option.

Instead, Abraham is best remembered for her two adult films with porn star James Deen in 2013 and '14 and will forever be branded the "Backdoor Teen Mom", which means exactly what you think it does.
