Farrah Abraham Sparks Controversy With Bollywood Outfit At MTV Movie & TV Awards

Farrah Abraham caused a stir during Sunday nights MTV Movie &TV Awards after she appeared on the red carpet wearing a Bollywood-inspired outfit, complete with henna art (mehndi) on her hands and a bindi on her forehead.Almost instantly, the Teen Mom star faced criticism from people on Twitter who called her out for cultural appropriation. As you may know, Abraham is not Indian, nor is she a Bollywood star.Imagine wearing something that's apart of someone else's culture just for attention. She looks so bad and desperate. #MTVAwards pic.twitter.com/3M8xIpVyUV baby boy (@darkwavebaby) May 7, 2017 FARRAH ABRAHAM IS NOT FUCKING INDIAN WHY IS SHE TRASHING THEIR AMAZING CULTURE I'M FUMING lauren (@laurcndelrey) May 8, 2017 Farrah Abraham is gonna get so much shit for that outfit. AJ Pitts (@BigBroYoyo) May 7, 2017 Abraham didnt seem too concerned about the backlash though, telling TooFab that she wanted to bring culture to the red carpet and thought her look would inspire others to embrace new cultures and have good experiences.She also said her outfit, which is admittedly beautiful on its own, made her feel freaking amazing, Bollywood and sexy.Still, we can all agree that adopting another cultures traditional dress and stripping it of context diminishes it to nothing more than a costume.
