Farrah Abraham has been accused of animal cruelty after painting her miniature pony for her daughter Sophia's eighth birthday party. The Teen Mom star threw a Beauty and the Beast and My Little Pony themed sleepover, which included a six-tiered cake, a Disney princess, and a pampering session.
During the celebrations, Farrah, Sophia, and her friends decorated the pony, named Starburst, with pink and purple streaks and neon hearts drawn on its coat. Starburst was a Christmas gift for the family.
Farrah shared photos of the event on Instagram, but was quickly flooded with comments from furious users. 'Poor horse,' one wrote. 'That's animal abuse she should be taken away from u! You're a sick human.' Another added: 'How could you do that to an innocent animal.. you're beyond disgusting.'
However, some defended Farrah, suggesting the paint was likely pet-friendly and that the horse is well cared for. 'The fact that people make a big deal over the 'paint' on the horse is nonsense,' one supporter said.
This is not the first time Farrah has faced backlash on social media. In November 2016, she was criticised for giving her daughter 'weight-loss tea', sharing a photo of the pair with a Flat Tummy Tea sachet. Critics called the move 'dangerous' and 'irresponsible'.
