Let’s see Farrah Abraham claim that her professionally produced porn flick was for personal use now.

The former “Teen Mom” star has struck a deal with Vivid Entertainment for a sex tape featuring herself and porn star James Deen for close to a million dollars, TMZ reported Monday.

After news first broke of the sex tape’s existence earlier this month, Deen, 27, admitted that it was a professionally produced porn video, unwilling to have people believe that he was dating Abraham.

Abraham denied that this was true. “After seeing James speaking about my personal video as a porn and not even contacting me before running his mouth, I have to say I am very disappointed,” Abraham told Us Weekly. The former reality TV star also said that if her boyfriend and baby daddy Derek Underwood, who died in a car crash in 2008, were alive, she would much rather have made the tape with him.

The 21-year-old Abraham emerged from a meeting with porn king Steve Hirsch last week with her father and daughter in tow. Apparently, it was a success. The 70-minute-long movie will be called — get this — “Farrah Superstar: Backdoor Teen Mom.”

Classy.
