FARRAH Abraham’s grandmother Carmella has filed an order of protection against the Teen Mom star’s mother Debra Danielsen.
Carmella, 84, claimed Debra, 63, tried to get into her home in an “angry” confrontation in June and accused her of being “mentally and financially abusive”.
Carmella filed for an elder abuse protective order against Teen Mom OG star Debra on June 16 in Iowa, according to court documents.
The petition was triggered by a confrontation on June 15 between Carmella and Debra and Debra’s husband David.
Carmella stated in the filings: “Debra showed up to my residence with her husband, David. She tried getting into my home but I locked the door because I am afraid of her from all the recent things I have found out.
“They were both very angry and confronted my granddaughter, Ashley, in my yard because they wanted in the house to discuss me filing fraud on the Roth IRA account (as suggested by Fidelity Financial).
“Ashley had to call the police, David threatened Ashley that the state will be paying a visit to my house soon. The police told them to leave my property and to only communicate with Ashley via email.”
Carmella claimed that she had recently found out Debra had opened a “Roll Over Roth IRA account in my name at Fidelity Financial valued at approx. $40,000”.
Debra – who recently said she has no relationship with daughter Farrah – allegedly didn’t tell Carmella that it was a joint account and listed herself as 100 per cent the beneficiary
“I was not aware that she was using any money I had left over from my small, fixed income, to fund this Roth IRA,” Carmella wrote.

“I was made to believe that I was completely and totally broke, as that has been what Debra has been telling me for years.
“I would have to ask her for permission to purchase essentials for myself, such as food or clothing, even though I am retired and have a pension and social security money coming into two joint checking accounts that Debra has opened at Fidelity Financial with survivorship rights also in her name.”
Carmella claimed the accounts are funded solely by her direct deposits and alleged that Debra told her they were only in her name.
‘SHE LEFT ME BROKE’
She alleged that she has never been allowed to see or access the bank statements as Debra gets them emailed to her.
She wrote: “She has now left me completely broke.”
Carmella also claimed Debra tried to “pressure” her into signing off her “one last asset” – her home – to her in her will.
She has currently dedicated her property to her granddaughter Ashley.
She added: “I believe Debra’s behavior has been reflective of someone who is mentally ill, incompetent, and criminalistic.
“Debra has herself in debt, and now many others in the family. Debra has been emotionally abusive to both of her daughters and their children, and now I can see she is emotionally and financially abusive to me as well.
“Debra has been acting with ill will and unethically, by threatening to take my only asset, my home, and make my granddaughter, Ashley, and her children homeless.”
CARMELLA’S PETITION
The order of protection was granted by a judge on June 28 and it is valid for a year.
It means Debra cannot “abuse, harass, intimidate, molest, interfere with, or menace” Carmella.
The MTV star is also banned from entering Carmella’s property.
Debra, Carmella and Farrah were all last seen together in May this year for a Mother’s Day dinner.
Earlier this week, Debra claimed she doesn’t speak to Farrah, 30, or Farrah’s 12-year-old daughter Sophia.
“We’re not speaking today, so that’s very sad, and I miss my granddaughter,” she said in a new episode of Have a Seat with Chris Hansen.
FAMILY FEUD
“I pray to God that my daughter is happy and healthy, and I do want [our] relationship to be happy and healthy.
“I want to be able to hug her and hold her and tell her I love her. That’s very important to me, and I want my Sophia to know that she is still the sparkle in my eye and I will always love her and I miss her.”
Debra also argued: “I never exploited my daughter, I tried to help my daughter.
“I threw myself in front of the bus I don’t even know how many times, and I never took anything, not one dime ever, and I had to pay for things in the background and I financed everything.
“I’m a retired executive, you know, I didn’t sit at home and, you know, wonder how I could pimp out my children. I never did that.”
The reality star has hit the headlines with her bizarre YouTube videos in recent months, which have shown her dancing in provocative outfits and rapping about “bullets and booze”.
