Farrah Abraham’s retracts bogus ‘rape’ claims against taxi driver

Reality star Farrah Abraham has retracted allegations against a taxi driver whom she claimed tried to rape her in January of 2015. 

The Teen Mom star had stated in her podcast Farrah & Friends that an Uber (a taxi company equivalent to Hailo) driver had attacked her while getting picked up from her hotel. 

She also claimed that her then-boyfriend Simon Saran had to come and "rescue" her. 

Just days after she made the statements, Farrah has now denied that she was actually attacked, simply saying that the incident could have ended in rape. 

"It could have escalated into a rape situation," said the 24-year-old to Page Six. 

"I got into the car and the gentleman was looking me up and down. Something was wrong with him, like he was mentally disabled."

According to the mother-of-one, the driver had made her walk to his vehicle instead of picking her up at the hotel and made her "uncomfortable" by staring at her. 

Footage recorded at the scene shows Farrah yelling at police officers as they tried to diffuse the situation. 

Uber responded to the initial allegations by claiming that no report of the incident had been made to the company and that the star had been banned from using the service anyway after her friend had spilt alcohol all over the front-seat of an affiliated taxi. 

And according to the police, no official report was filed with them at the time either.
