Farrah Abraham Begged For Cash Before Bailing On Boxing Match, Promoter Claims
Jan. 9 2019, Updated 5:20 p.m. ET
Farrah Abraham's legal war is turning into a serious crisis. RadarOnline.com has learned the 27-year-old allegedly had a teary meltdown and begged boxing match promoter Damon Feldman for cash before bailing on her fight against Nicole "Hoopz" Alexander.
Speaking to RadarOnline.com, Feldman said the former Teen Mom star is "absolutely the worst" celebrity he's ever booked for a match — and her astronomical demands made notorious figure skating diva Tonya Harding "look like a princess."
Feldman said Abraham received a $2,500 deposit when she signed the contract. And while the next $2,500 was due on the date of the match, the star begged him to hand it to her earlier — and in cash.
"She needed the money so bad, so I sent her the next $2,500 in cash because she couldn't accept a check. She said she was broke, and was in tears, and said, 'Please, I'm getting kicked out of my house.' That's also why she was doing that other reality show. She's broke and was getting evicted. But this is it. I'm exposing her and I'm not letting this go. Honestly, she is a disgrace," said the promoter.
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Feldman filed a $12,000 lawsuit against the adult entertainment star, claiming she refused to return the money she received prior to the match.

In a copy of the lawsuit obtained by RadarOnline.com, Feldman said "Farrah took upfront monies and balance for celebrity boxing match. Farrah signed contracts and falsely promoted she was fighting in match."
In his interview with RadarOnline.com, Feldman said Abraham not only took his money, but also the sponsors' money and expensive boxing gear she used while training.
"She used the Celebrity Boxing platform for all of these appearances, all of the training opportunities, these different gyms, they paid her. My sponsors are pissed and are hurt," he said.
And while the promoter is demanding $12,000 from the reality star "to start," he estimates the amount will go up to $100,000 now that the sponsors have gotten involved.

"I'm going to get her. that's all there is to it. She has to pay. You can't do this to people," Feldman told RadarOnline.com. "The bottom line is, she took the money. At least pay the money back. I don't care if you pulled out. Pay us the money that we fronted you."
Feldman said Abraham became extremely demanding in the days leading up to the fight and at one point asked him to get 36 hotel rooms for her friends and family and six first-class tickets. She also said that if she wasn't guaranteed a win, she would consider it a breach of contract and quit.
"She came to me and was begging to fight because she said she wanted to do this for anti-bullying because she and her daughter get bullied on social media a lot. She even pulled out on the charity without confronting them," said Feldman. "She's the fakest person I have ever dealt with."
In a statement to RadarOnline.com, Abraham slammed Feldman as "slandering," and denied all of his accusations.
"I’m too famous to deal with scam artists," she said.
The star is also suffering from other legal woes. As RadarOnline.com first reported, she was recently sued by a former lawyer for allegedly failing to pay her bill.
