Farrah Abraham and Brian Dawe went public with their alleged relationship at the end of last year, claiming they had been together for months after meeting in Orlando in early summer. Months later, the pair were chosen to appear on Couple's Therapy but Brian backed out just before filming began, claiming the relationship was a sham.
Now, he's revealing all sorts of juicy details about VH1's allegedly conniving way to get him to appear alongside Farrah even though their relationship was fake.
"I was offered a flat fee of $15,000 for my participation in the show," Brian tells Radar Online of his original offer.
However, once he backed out, producers were left scrambling and came up with the idea to get him back, luring him with twice the salary he would have been getting had he originally showed up.
In a text message which was leaked to Radar Online, a producer is allegedly seen sending a message which read, "I need the contract stating $30,000 in writing ASAP to send it over to Brian to get him to LA to begin filming." The producer again allegedly wrote to another associate in the message. "The faster I get that contract, the faster he gets out here."
In response to the offer, Brian still declined to show up and was surprised that they'd even want him after learning that they weren't even a couple. "I was shocked that the network still wanted to produce a reality show based on this relationship — even though I had told them it was a complete lie."
It's odd to think that this so-called reality show was so ready to welcome a fake relationship onto their show. Could they really not find anyone that had a legitimate relationship to replace her? Clearly, they wanted Farrah to do the show and would stop at nothing to make it happen, but this is outrageous and the scandal is sure to raise serious questions about the series. It could even deter viewers from tuning in.
