She told Bunnie: “I learned so much about consent culture and leading with that and allowing someone to have their will, their rights, their freedoms. And I think that’s just very important on maybe the littlest things, like piercings or tattoos.”
Bunnie agreed with her, saying that children wanting to get a piercing is far from the worst thing they could be doing.
Farrah also added that she loved Sophia’s look, too.
And she concluded by saying: “I’m happy with whatever look she decides and what she loves.”
According to The Ashley’s Reality Roundup, Farrah received a lot of criticism after Sophia’s 14th birthday.
This was last year, in February 2023.
Farrah’s Controversial Birthday Gift for Her Teen Daughter
Sophia received a present from Farrah that sparked a lot of controversy.
Farrah let her newly-14-year-old daughter get six piercings for her birthday.
She posted about this on her Instagram.
And she said that the piercings that Sophia got included a lip piercing and an earlobe piercing.
But Sophia’s 14th birthday wasn’t the only time this happened.
Just a couple of months ago, in February 2024, she celebrated her 15th birthday.
And for the occasion, she was allowed to get some more piercings.
Sophia posted about this on her own Instagram.
She said that she’d had an amazing week and couldn’t have asked for more.
Then, she informed her followers that she got 3 more piercings.
She said that those were the gifts she was most grateful for.
And she ended her post by thanking everyone for all the birthday gifts and wishes she received.

She was also asked about her relationship with her mother, Debra Danielsen.
Farrah shared that she didn’t feel supported after Sophia’s father, Derek Underwood, tragically passed away.
She also addressed Sophia’s relationship with her grandparents.
“Sophia was kind of the one to say like, ‘I don’t want to hang out’ or ‘I need a break from certain grandparents,” she said,
Sophia also talked about this herself.
She said that she was very comfortable not talking to her grandma at all.
And she added that she didn’t talk to her grandpa either.
She said that it hasn’t bothered her over the years.
Farrah chimed in to say that despite what those in her family may think, Sophia’s lack of relationship with her grandparents isn’t her fault.
She said that she saw how affected Sophia was by some of their behavior.
She noticed that Sophia didn’t feel loved or heard, and this impacted the relationships.
Farrah’s episode of the Dumb Blonde podcast is available now.
