MTV “Teen Mom OG” star and porn actress Farrah Abraham is backtracking on her claims that an Uber driver "almost raped" her.

The Austin resident and occasional porn actress said she was merely looked at “lecherously” by the Uber driver and not "almost raped," according to media reports.

Page Six reports that Abraham said the incident “could have escalated into a rape situation,” even though the man never laid a hand on her.

“I got into the car and the gentleman was looking me up and down,” Abraham told Page Six.

Cosmpolitan also reported on the incident which allegedly occurred in January 2015 in Long Island, New York, where Simon Saran, Abraham’s on-and-off again boyfriend, allegedly came to the star’s assistance during the incident.

But Uber told Cosmopolitan Abraham falsely made the rape allegation and she has been banned from using the service. The Uber spokesman also said her companion, presumably Saran, poured an alcoholic beverage onto the front seat of the Uber driver’s car, according to Cosmopolitan.

In regards to the incident, Uber released the following comment to Radar Online:
