Is Farrah Abraham about to become a politician, or is this just another one of her chaotic plot twists that’ll blow up in her face?
The former Teen Mom OG star just announced via Instagram stories that she’s officially filed her ballot application to run for Austin City Council, and honey, the drama is already SERVING. But here’s the catch that has everyone clutching their pearls: nobody actually knows if this girl is even ELIGIBLE to run. Not exactly the vibe you want when you’re trying to convince voters you’re ready to lead a city, right?
Farrah made the shocking announcement through a series of thirst-traps disguised as political posts on Tuesday, basically screaming “my name’s on the ballot” to her followers. While we’re absolutely here for the chaotic energy, there’s one teensy-weensy problem: there are serious questions about whether she actually meets the permanent residence requirements. Girl, that’s literally THE bare minimum for running for office. It’s giving “didn’t read the fine print,” and we are LIVING for the mess.
The eligibility drama centers around her permanent residence address, which apparently is murkier than her eyebrow application. Does she even LIVE in Austin? Like, legitimately? Because if she’s been gallivanting around the country doing influencer things and reality TV appearances, that’s a major problem. You can’t just decide to run for public office because you’re bored on a Tuesday and have good WiFi somewhere.
This is quintessential Farrah behavior, honestly. Always jumping headfirst into things without doing her homework. Remember when she tried to become a rapper? Or that whole luggage company era? This political venture has the same chaotic energy, except now she’s potentially breaking election laws. Legendary? Absolutely. Smart? We’ll let you be the judge.
Social media is absolutely ROASTING her right now, with people questioning whether she even knows what city council members actually DO. Spoiler alert: it’s not just posting Instagram stories and looking cute. You actually have to, like, do work and represent constituents and attend boring meetings. The audacity though—we have to respect the confidence.
The city of Austin is probably shook. They’re used to quirky politicians, but adding Farrah to the mix? This could either be the most entertaining political season Austin’s ever seen, or an absolute disaster. Possibly both.
What do you think? A) Farrah actually has a shot and deserves respect for her ambition B) This is pure chaos and she’ll withdraw within a month
