When the popular reality TV show, “Toddlers and Tiaras”, aired on channel TLC, one family was completely different from the rest. The kid, Alana Thompson, better known as Honey Boo Boo was considered not fit to be a participant in the content. However, this actually worked in her favour, since she and her entire family got their own spin off, known as “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo.”
Several critics claimed that Honey Boo Boo, her three sisters, step-father, and matriarch June Shannon aka Mama Juneare bringing shame to the people from the south by their offensive nature in the reality TV show. However, you could understand from the show that Mama June really loved her family a lot and would do anything for them. In 2014, the show was cancelled, after Mama June was associated to have a romantic relationship with a sex offender. The family currently lives in Georgia, and recently Mama June’s actions have left her fans in shock.

“No!” she said in a loud whisper. “The ‘TURN OFF YOUR CELL PHONE PLEASE’ message just flashed up on the screen and mine is in the car.”
