'Teen Mom 3' Star Mackenzie McKee Joins 'Teen Mom OG' ... Replacing Farrah
The "Teen Mom OG" hole created by Farrah Abraham's firing is being filled by another 'TM' alum, Mackenzie McKee ... TMZ has learned.
Sources close to the production tell us the "Teen Mom 3" star, and fan fave, has officially joined the 'OG' cast, and she's already shooting scenes. As we told you, Farrah was 86'd and claimed, on her way out the door, MTV execs shamed her for doing porn.
We're told 'TM' producers recently pitched Mackenzie the idea of joining 'OG.' They were already shooting a 2-hour special with her about her mom's cancer battle. She was diagnosed earlier this year with stage 4 brain cancer.
We're told Mackenzie agreed to step in for Farrah and she's been filming for more than a week now.
You'll recall ... Mackenzie was part of the 'TM3' franchise before getting canceled after one season in 2013. She was very popular then, and fans have wanted to see her come back.
While Farrah's off fighting Viacom and MTV in court ... it looks like 'Teen Mom'-sters are getting exactly what they wanted.
We've reached out to MTV, but no word back yet.

Farrah Abraham Sues MTV Exec 'Sex Shamed' Me Over My Porn Career
Farrah Abraham says a 'Teen Mom' honcho ridiculed her for her adult film work, and she's not gonna take it laying down ... she's taking the whole company to court.
Farrah says she met with Morgan J. Freeman (no relation), an executive producer on "Teen Mom OG," at her home in Texas last October. In a lawsuit, she says Freeman harassed, humiliated and degraded her doing porn.
The 'Backdoor Teen Mom' star says Freeman went on to threaten her future career at MTV, and she "feared for her life" because he was hostile toward her. According to docs, obtained by TMZ, shortly after the meeting MTV fired Farrah from the remainder of the 'OG' season, and also pulled the plug on negotiations for a long-term deal.
MTV aired portions of Farrah and Freeman meeting in a preview for the current season -- it was clearly tense, but there was no mention of her porn career in the clip that aired.
Farrah's suing Freeman, Viacom -- MTV's parent company -- and a few smaller production companies for at least $5 million.

Farrah Abraham Neon Panties & Vajazzle Kits Can't Host Without Them!
Most people demand bottles of Ciroc on their riders, but not Farrah Abraham, who's gonna be busy bedazzling her lady parts in her green room.
Farrah's hosting a XXXMas party at the Las Vegas stripper institution Crazy Horse III Thursday and her rider is about what you'd expect from a porn star ... neon panties and a vajazzle kit.
The former "Teen Mom" also gets very specific when it comes to hygiene, requesting "a pre-planned appointment with an affluent med-spa for service of 2 syringes of Sculpta facial filler," plus a 24k gold collagen breast firming gel mask.
The caring mom wants to care for the strippers ... demanding $3k in Crazy Horse III Diamond Dollars to tip performers.

Farrah Abraham It Took Years, But I Finally Sold My Austin Home!
Farrah Abraham is losing deals all over the place ... first with work, and now with her real estate.
Farrah's finally gotten rid of her Austin home, but for a third less than her original asking price.
She listed the 4-bedroom, 4.5-bath in 2014 for $750k, only a year after purchasing it. No word on the exact selling price but it was in escrow for $520k.
The 3,300 square foot home has some history ... it was featured on the "Teen Mom" catch-up special "Being Farrah," but doesn't look like it helped move the sale. The stone slab work and the built-in BBQ in the backyard probably did though.
Farrah's been living in L.A. where she was delving back into porn and reality TV. Emphasis on was.

Farrah Abraham Bails on Backdoor Porn Site Offers Refunds
Farrah Abraham didn't go through with the anal she'd promised to do during her live CamSoda porn show Monday night and now the porn site is reimbursing everyone who watched.
It's unclear why Farrah bailed on the backdoor. Instead she didn't take off her lingerie, promoted her sex toy line and talked about her displeasure with MTV, who she says fired her earlier in the day for being an adult performer.
Either way, CamSoda wasn't happy and tells TMZ they were forced to go through with reimbursements since Farrah's porn show "created unfulfilled expectations."
The company also took a shot at MTV saying it was "reprehensible that she would lose her job because of a webcam performance." Farrah blasted MTV herself, saying it lost its biggest talent because of "women hating, sex shaming, hate crimes, selfish, Weinstein company power trip behavior..."

Farrah Abraham doesn't think Jenelle Evans should complain about "Teen Mom 2" edits that make her look bad -- 'cause that's not her job ... unless she wants it.
We got the OG "Teen Mom" star Thursday at LAX where we asked her to weigh in on Jenelle's gripes over MTV supposedly hyping her TV drama through edits ... and her threatening to walk away from the show if MTV doesn't do her right.
If there was ever a walking definition of "who gives a s***" ... it's gotta be Farrah. Besides ... the "Apply Now" button at MTV is always available, according to her.
Ditto for another 'Teen Mom' star, Kailyn Lowry, who's got her own take on Jenelle. In short, take a look at yourself in the mirror ... and your contract while you're at it.

Jenelle told us she's the victim of creative editing, done purely to create more drama, and she's pissed about it. She's also angry that producers are putting subtitles on her kid because it makes it seem like he has speech issues.
Long story short ... Jenelle says MTV is screwing itself, if it has dreams of bringing back arguably the most popular chick on the series.

'Teen Mom 3' Star Briana DeJesus Baby Daddy Busted Over Weed ... Dude, You Forgot Something
"Teen Mom 3" star Briana DeJesus' baby daddy let a little thing like a weed citation snowball into a warrant for his arrest ... all 'cause he never showed up in court.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Devoin Austin was arrested Friday in Orange County, FL on an arrest warrant that was issued way back in August 2016.
The warrant stems from a traffic stop when cops cited Devoin for possession of weed and drug paraphernalia. He was supposed to be arraigned a month later, but never appeared -- hence, the warrant.
He could've gotten up to a year in jail or $1,000 fine for the original misdemeanor.
