Farrah Abraham was born in Omaha, Nebraska, and raised in Council Bluffs, Iowa. Her father, Michael Abraham, is of Syrian and Italian descent. Her mother, Debra Danielsen, is of Danish and Sicilian ancestry. She grew up with her half-sister, Ashley Danielsen. She attended Thomas Jefferson High School, where she was a cheerleader. Her parents divorced in 2010 and her mother married David Merz in 2017.

In 2008, Abraham, then 17, was selected to appear on the MTV show, 16 and Pregnant, a reality series that aimed to document the lives of pregnant teenagers across the United States. News of her pregnancy caused issues between her and her mother, Debra Danielsen, with Danielsen calling her daughter a whore and preventing her from obtaining an abortion; being pregnant, Abraham was forced to discontinue her cheerleading. Furthermore, during filming, Derek Underwood, the father of her child, died in a car accident. Abraham gave birth to the couple's daughter, Sophia Laurent Abraham, on February 23, 2009. Abraham's episode of 16 and Pregnant aired on June 17, 2009. Later that year she was cast in the spin-off series Teen Mom; it followed Abraham, in addition to Maci Bookout, Catelynn Lowell and Amber Portwood, who also appeared on episodes of 16 and Pregnant, during their first years of motherhood. The series premiere was broadcast on December 8, 2009. Abraham and her mother are seen to have a rocky relationship throughout Teen Mom, with Danielsen being charged with assault in an Iowa court for hitting her in January 2010. Abraham started seeing a therapist to discuss the rocky relationship with her family, because she couldn't cope with her mother's actions as well as dealing with her emotions regarding Sophia's father Derek Underwood and his death. Farrah eventually proved to Derek's family through a paternity test that Derek was in fact Sophia's father and then was faced with a lawsuit filed by Derek's mother for grandparents' visitation rights, despite no previous contact with Sophia. In 2011, she began attending the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale in Florida, where she got an associate degree in culinary arts and management. She later launched the "Mom & Me" pasta sauce line.

In January 2015, MTV confirmed Abraham would return for the Teen Mom spin-off, Teen Mom OG. The series premiered on March 23, 2015. In August, Abraham participated in the sixteenth series of the British television series Celebrity Big Brother, representing Team USA. On September 18, she became the fifth housemate to be evicted. She was not in the top four highest-voted housemates, and her fellow housemate, Austin Armacost, chose to evict her. She had spent 23 days in the house. On September 22, 2015, she appeared as a panelist on the Celebrity Big Brother's Bit on the Side after-show and got into a heated argument with fellow panelist, Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace. The show was taken off air 10 minutes early after a physical altercation between Abraham and Horgan-Wallace ensued. Abraham and Janice Dickinson were given police cautions by Hertfordshire Police. In May 2016, Abraham founded and opened her frozen yogurt shop, FroCo Fresh & Frozen, in Lakeway, Texas. In September, she opened both the Sophia Laurent Children's Boutique, named after daughter, and the furniture store, Furnished by Farrah. All three businesses closed in 2018. In 2017, Abraham, her mother Debra, and father Michael all appeared on the We TV reality series Marriage Boot Camp Reality Stars: Family Edition. In October 2017, during the filming of the seventh season of Teen Mom OG, Farrah was given an ultimatum by executive producer Morgan J. Freeman to choose between working in the adult entertainment industry or the show after she appeared in live webcam videos hosted by pornographic streaming platform CamSoda. She ultimately chose to terminate her contract with Teen Mom OG. She was later replaced by Bristol Palin and Cheyenne Floyd. In December 2018, a year after she was fired from Teen Mom OG, Abraham returned to the network to partake in the dating reality series Ex on the Beach for its second season.

On January 15, 2026, Abraham filed paperwork in the 2026 Austin municipal elections in City Council District 5. In a subsequent interview on TMZ, Abraham mistakenly believed she was running for mayor of Austin in 2026, even though the next mayoral election is not scheduled until 2028.

In February 2018, Abraham filed a lawsuit against MTV's parent company, Viacom, seeking $5 million alleging she was "sex-shamed" and discriminated against because she did not conform to gender stereotypes. The lawsuit was settled the following month. On June 13, 2018, at around 1:20 a.m., the Beverly Hills Police Department were dispatched to the Beverly Hills Hotel responding to a call regarding a disturbance inside of the hotel restaurant. A male security guard working for the hotel alleged Abraham struck him in the face after he asked her to leave. Abraham was then arrested for misdemeanor battery and trespassing. In August, she pleaded guilty to one misdemeanor count of resisting. She was subsequently sentenced to two years probation and five days of community service, and 12 hours of anger management classes. In August, promoter Damon Feldman announced Abraham's participation in the "Celebrity Boxing Showdown for Bullying" charity event, where she would box television personality Nicole Alexander. In November, Abraham dropped out of the event after claiming Feldman's camp was in breach of contract. In January 2019, People Magazine reported Feldman was suing Abraham for $12,000. In April 2021, Abraham filed a report to the Palm Beach Police Department alleging she was drugged and raped by politician and then Windsor, California Dominic Foppoli while visiting Palm Beach, Florida in March. Abraham explained she had been at a wine tasting event with Foppoli and had no other memory of the night. Palm Beach detectives suspended their investigation in January 2022 due to "insufficient evidence," citing Abraham's lack of memory. Three hours after Foppoli was questioned about the allegations, he resigned as mayor. In December 2022, Abraham filed a lawsuit in the Sonoma County Superior Court against Foppoli. California Attorney General Rob Bonta declined to pursue criminal charges against Foppoli in 2024, and Abraham then filed a civil lawsuit set for trial in 2026. In January 2022, Abraham was arrested after it was reported that she assaulted a nightclub security guard. In October 2023, she was sentenced to 18 months probation with mandatory supervision and 40 hours of community service for the incident.
