All's fair in love and war … and reality TV? As critics and Couples Therapy stars continue to slam Farrah Abraham for concocting a fake relationship to get her on the VH1 show, Abraham's dad, Mike, has stepped forward to defend his daughter's actions and insist that such shenanigans are par for the course in the reality TV industry.

Mike made the shocking comments in a post on his Facebook page on January 9. "Let the truth come out!" he wrote. "Supporters, we love you, wish you only the very best and appreciate each and every one of you! … Haters, I can only pray for you and hope only the very best for you with hope that your heart will warm and your judgment traits will cease …"

His followers quickly chimed in to slam Farrah's appearance, which they claimed was "staged for publicity." Indeed, as Breaking Celebrity News reported, her supposed "boyfriend" Brian Dawe has explicitly detailed how Farrah and producers tried to string him along into cooperating with the scam.

One commenter, Shellie Spiller wrote, "We have all heard the negative about the supposed publicity stunt … which may have been concocted to keep her relevant, which means financial gain."
