Farrah Abraham's gone through plenty of twists and turns over the past few years ... and she's been anything but boring!

While she initially tried to raise her public profile by appearing in MTV's "Teen Mom" in 2009, she pulled a hard left turn and starred in two porno flicks -- how's that for a change-up?

Fame came with a price, though, as being arrested for both DUI and for getting physical with hotel and club workers tarnished her image in ways she hadn't expected.

An alternate juror in the Diddy case says all the evidence about baby oil didn't help the prosecution's case in the end, but he thinks the point was to paint the defendant as a hard-core criminal freak.

George -- he asked us not to use his last name -- was not in the jury deliberation room, but he was front and center for every second of the trial. He noted the defense mocked prosecutors over the baby oil evidence, with Marc Agnifilo sarcastically telling jurors their streets were safer after the feds spent all that time and money seizing 1,000 bottles of baby oil.

As for the freak-off videos, that may have backfired for prosecutors. George says everything he saw -- from Cassie and "Jane" rubbing baby oil over a sex worker to hardcore sex -- looked consensual.
