Mama June didn't do anything when Anna was being molested by her BF it was the grandmother who stepped in and contacted the police. She never should have custody of Anna's daughter.

[@brendashelton4400]

That is exactly right and then when the perv comes out of prison she lays up with him again and plus she stole all Anna's money first and didn't care one bit!! She did not protect Anna and she won't protect Anna's daughter!!

[@SpicyPlur]

Birther June also had grandma raise Anna because she didnt believe her. Anna also sued for her money from the OG show...

They are such good girls, I want the best for all Junes girls ❤️

yes even the grand babies too🩷🩵

[@audreyandbillyjensen]

I have too say Pumpkin is the best one out of them all. She took care of Alana she adopted Alana. Pumpkin and josh have done an amazing job taking care of not just her kids but also Alana and the rest of the family.. Alana is the person she is today because of Pumpkin...

[@richardmiller5818]

Because of her mom not Pumkin

She's the best young mother to take care of all children.

[@sharonwalters3223]

Pumpkin always talks over everyone, they all do, Jessica is the only one that doesn’t do that, she’s probably saying to herself this is so embarrassing 😳

Michael isn't her biological dad.

[@ariesfairy4444]

@@Ky90804yes but he cared for both of them like a dad and in the other seasons anna mentioned how much both her girls love him. i agree she should be back with her dad bc mama june OBVIOUSLY doesn’t know how to take care of kids and that’s the last thing she needs

[@peacefulbliss323]

What about her husband?

[@RunningGreyWolf]

If it weren't for Alana there would be no honey boo boo. Alana was the one that was featured in the children's pageants and that was the main storyline for Honey Boo Boo

Mama june needs to go to jail for what she did to honey boo boo all she wants is here mama june just wants Anna money please stop here please she should not be in charge of anyone.

[@franklynj9]

srry to hear that rip my prayers is for her

[@sarahrobinson9698]

These interviews are impossible to watch because all they do is talk over one another constantly. It is the most annoying thing ever.

[@BarbieDollLee330]

1st off.. My question is why Mama June thinks she's entitled 2 sign paperwork etc?? It makes me sick that nobody realizes that she is not 2 b trusted with money or being in possession of anything. I think she's a bottomless pit & I have no respect 4 her that she couldn't even help put Alana through college & stole over $30,000 of her daughter's money. Alot of that money not only went on drugs she use that money buy'n men & brought Justin & fix'd his teeth with Veneers, Jewelry around his neck, plus the food outings. N the words of JJ Smith: WHAT R U EATING!!🤣Mama June will never take accountability 4 the lack of being a mother 2 her own children. I think Justin should run the other way. Alana should still pursue in tryna recover her $30,000. Her mother owes that 2 her 4 what she put her through. I salute 2 Pumpkin👑 & Josh👑 4 taking care of Alana raising her 2 b a responsible young lady. 💯#RIPANNA🙏🏾💐🌻

[@TammyFarlow]

I am 100% agree with that. All the that June mother have on her fingers and her necklace and whatever else. She should go hawk it and sell it to pay back her daughter's money

[@donnaaurick2513]

Love all of June's daughters, their spouses and kids. Pumpkin, Josh and kids are definitely my favorite personalities on the show. Congratulations to Alana for pursuing your BSN/MSN. With your hectic life and schedule. I know it must be hard but you keep up the good work. All of your fans who are fellow nurses recognize your hard work! Congratulations on all you do we love to watch you guys! Thank you for sharing your life with us 😊 Ps I was never iffy about Josh.

[@tinagarcia9538]

This is the second interview where I have seen that Pumpkin keeps cutting June off and not letting her talk

[@rbfoster]

They were cutting off Alana too. She barely got to talk. But it’s probably because they know whatever June is about to say is a lie.

[@ariesfairy4444]

this is honestly nothing new they’ve always been this way😭 even back on here comes honey boo boo the couch interviews used to be so chaotic bc they would just talk over each other lmao

[@kimjay16]

I know Anna smiles down heavy on them 🫶🏼

[@tyrushusky2474]

I'm just going to comment this but Pumpkin told Anna that she's not going to get special treatment because she has cancer and also and I never wanted june to get custody she wanted her ex-husband to get custody

[@debfox]

I hope he does get custody! He needs to protect her from them! 🥺 She has her on Tik Tok lives and is exploring her just like she did her kids!

​@@thecommentloungeno one want abuser to have their children... common sense

[@thecommentlounge]

@@SpicyPlur Ummm this is why I hate the Internet. Number one, if she didn't want her mom to have her daughter June wouldn't have ever been signed over custody in the first place. Furthermore, I was responding to a comment that was speaking matter of fact about the situation as if they spoke to the young lady before her passing. We can't just get on the Internet speaking about people's lives as if we know them because we don't...

Punkin looks like her older sister Anna

[@msy408]

The mother needs to get a job for herself.

[@1Rhettsgirl13]

The show and interviews like this are her jobs.

[@kathrinekp1434]

June shouldn't have custody over Kaitlyn and hope the judge gives her back to Michael and visitations with Eldrigde. June isn't fit to take care of a goldfish - and Anna was on medication, which she couldn't sign. But she definitely didn't want June to raise her precious and vulnerable girl.

[@jasminelopez8960]

Aww

[@1Rhettsgirl13]

Darn, looks like Alana gained 50 lbs since she went to college! Idc about all that body positivity crap, it's not healthy and she needs to get a grip before she ends up over 300 lbs like June used to be. They had a whole fake episode where they tested her for diabetes...they need to do something real.

[@ArkansasSquaw]

God help us.

[@conniestahl9182]

Is this the family that lived in the house by the rail road tracks? I seen the show once .

[@lindadixon9217]

Yes

[@lindaberry1162]

Glad Alana is out of GA. Can get residents in Colorado college would be cheaper for her. June is money hungry, she doesn't want to work, she is a huge user of everyone including Justin also a user they want that money! Wetv should take the money out her pay checks until the "honey boo boo" money is paid back which is estimated millions of dollars or close to it....! June is narcissistic she never says sorry for anything, no real tears most of the time, bullies her kids to get what she wants!

[@Guidette_]

All of them should try ozempec, and see the transformation

[@user-hq1ph2se3i]

😂. I was about to mention ozempic. They all gain lots of weight, especially Alana. Something has got to give. ..

[@sarahperniciaro3743]

And no mention of Michael…

[@Ky90804]

Cause Michael isn't the biological or adoptive father 😂

I don't understand how any woman with4 girls get lucky with show but instead of making sure they were top priority Greed, Drugs were more important and 1 girl died, alana steals her money ! Wow

damn alana's gotten soooo big! like why? why can't you lose weight your so young and just letting it happen

[@danamoore6970]

Pumpkin let someone else talk...

[@TammyFarlow]

Why did she steal the money from her daughter? Is this true

[@BarbieDollLee330]

Yes it's true.

[@TammyFarlow]

Most people call the cops and have her arrested

[@t-and-p]

Yes, she stole Alana's earnings from "Dancing With The Stars: Juniors" and "The Masked Singer", by not depositing all of the money into a Thompson account (a legal requirement for kids earning that kind of money under 18, to keep it safe and not let anyone else touch it). Instead, June spent it, and still claims she didn't do anything wrong, because "everybody does it" (they don't, it's illegal, although she may have confused it with how the TLC cheques from their family show worked). But that's small change compared to what she has stolen before... With these family reality shows, TLC pay the parents and they are supposed to then pay their kids. Most have had scandals because the parents just don't pay their kids (the Duggars and the Gosselins are prime examples). Initially, June looked like she was doing the right things - not buying flashy stuff, investing in a family home so that all the kids would always have a roof over their heads, and setting up accounts for each of the kids. Problem is, she always has to have a man and always clings to him and becomes an extension of him. So she got together with an addict, developed an addiction herself, abandoned the kids, and blew the lot. The house had to be sold and she spent the kid's money (they haven't said how much for sure, but I'd be amazed if it was below a million). And just in case that wasn't bad enough, she left Alana's father for the man that m01ested Anna when she was young, as soon as he was released from prison for what he did - literally prioritising a convicted predator over her own children and making the daughter (that she has just lost) have to relive her trauma and feel worthless. She should be behind bars and should never be allowed near money or Anna's daughter - not after how she has treated her own girls...

Oh stop it. It's an observation. They're unhealthy. With all the money they've made over the years, you'd think they would do something about their weight. Anna may have passed on from cancer (may she Rip), but you'd THINK that would make them more conscious about health.

That's true but it's also true that without Mama June there would not have been a Honey boo boo to start with. So therefore neither would there be all the $$$ fame and spin off shows.
