"Teen Mom" star Farrah Abraham is now a stripper. Sources close to the 22-year-old told E! News that Abraham started working at Palazio Gentlemen's Club in Austin, Texas a few weeks ago.

"She was hired a couple of weeks ago as a cocktail waitress but wanted to make more money dancing, so they moved her up to the stage," the source said. "She was on all three stages, the main stage and two side stages."

The reality star insisted to E! News that she has not chosen a career as a stripper but is simply doing research: like Jennifer Aniston.

"A friend of mine works there and I'm researching. I've been trying out all the roles that make up a gentlemen's club, including cocktailing and dancing," Abraham said. "There's management and there's cooking too. It's job shadowing that I hope pays off. In the same way Jennifer Aniston researched her role as a stripper, that's what I'm doing. It's how I get the information to write my books and do my movies. Unfortunately, I'm not free to talk about what those future projects may be. But I'm interested in hearing all the women's stories. And while I'm doing it, I'm getting paid. I'm getting paid to play a role and get informed."

Whether the mother-of-one will become a full-fledged stripper or not, the source told E! that Abraham was not shy while on stage and her performances have been a huge hit. Reportedly during one dance, Abraham laid down on back and ripped her bra off.

"She was definitely not shy and looked like she knew what she was doing," the source said to E!. "She was wearing a nude thong and bejeweled bra. She wasn't awkward at all and was actually quite good."
