"Teen mom' Farrah Abraham shared that her recent stint in a strip joint was all for "research:.

The 23-year old reality star was recently hired as a cocktail waitress for the Palazio Gentlemen's Club a few week ago. Abraham was said to have wanted to make more money, so she decided to strip off her clothes and earn more money from the Austin-based club.

According to the strip club's management, Abraham has become one of the favorites of patrons who visit the establishment. The patrons are said to particularly like how the reality star lies on her back and rips off her bra.

However, Abraham shared that she's only working in the club because a friend of hers works there and she wanted to research for a role. "I've been trying out all the roles that make up a gentleman's club, including cocktailing and dancing. There's management and there's cooking too. It's job shadowing that I hope pays off," she added.

She failed to reveal which role she was preparing for.

Abraham likened her position to Jennifer Aniston, who had to research her role for the comedy, "We're the Millers". Aniston played a stripper in the flick.

She said that she delves into the different roles so that she can get inspiration for her books and movie roles, sharing that although she can't reveal what role she is doing research for, the stories of the women she has met in the strip joint are interested. "I'm getting paid to play a role and get informed," she added.

People tend to be suspicious of Abraham's words, stemming from her previous claim that the porn video she made with porn star James Deen was just a private sex tape.

Abraham isn't the only reality star who have had to work as a stripper. "Real Housewives of New Jersey" star Danielle Staub stripped for New York's Scores Gentleman's Club in 2011, while Octomom Nadia Suleman received $20,000 for stripping at the T Lounge in West Palm Beach in 2013.
