There Goes Honey Boo Boo

Rashanae Papania

TLC’s hit show “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo,” was not expected to be as successful as it was and lasted longer than critics and viewers initially thought. Despite the doubts, it lasted for four seasons and was filming the fifth season. Unfortunately, due to allegations of June ‘Mama June’ Shannon dating a child molester, the show was cancelled.
To make things worse, the molester had sexually abused her oldest daughter, Anna ‘Chickadee’ Cardwell while one of her younger daughters Lauryn ‘Pumpkin’ Shannon was in the room in 2002.

Since Mama June’s split with her boyfriend of ten years, David ‘Sugar Bear’ Thompson back in September, she has been spotted with her sex offender ex, Mark McDaniel. She denies all allegations that she has rekindled a romance with McDaniel, however her actions have proven otherwise.

Mama June’s behavior is affecting the entire cast in more ways than one. Not only is this the ultimate betrayal to her daughters, but other cast members were angry that they may not get paid for the unaired fifth season. But TLC blames the Honey Boo Boo matriarch for the shows cancellation and said she is the only member not getting paid.

Despite the tragic canceling of the show, TLC will still reach out to all of the daughters and offer them counseling if they need it to cope in such a disappointing time of their life.

Mama June has since been spotted with Sugar Bear after the cancellation of the show. It appears that she is just trying to prove that she and ex McDaniel are not an item. However, only time will tell what is truly going on as far as her love life. For the other cast members, we can only wish them the best. Maybe there will be a spin-off without Mama June to give all of the Honey Boo Boo lovers some hope.
