Family convict erupts as Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson and Lauryn “Pumpkin” Shannon go after their Mama June for the cost of her drug addiction.
In a sneak peek of Mana June: Family Crisis, Mama June and her husband Justin Shroud have a sit down with the ladies to discuss missing funds from Honey Boo Boo’s Coogan account.
Pumpkin brings receipts that something is wrong by presenting a whiteboard featuring Honey Boo Boo’s earnings and Mama June’s transactions from the account. Upon pointing out Honey Boo Boo’s appearances as well as out-of-state taxes and the money Mama June spent, Pumpkin stated there was $35,728 missing from the account.
Quick to respond to the information, Mama June was ready to defend herself. “Well, you’re not even allowing me to talk,” Mama June was heard saying to Pumpkin.
However, Pumpkin wasn’t any of her mother’s excuses and accused her of trying to go around her betrayal.
“[I’m] not going around the facts,” Mama June stated. She then asked if Pumpkin is expecting her to give the funds back to Honey Boo Boo after the presentation.
“If Mama wants to have like a relationship with me, she needs to pay me back,” Honey Boo Boo said in a confessional. “Because one thing I don’t do, is I don’t hang around no ‘thief’ that gonna seal my money. You was the one who stole it so you need to pay my money back.”
Mama June, Honey Boo Boo, Pumpkin Emotionally Clash Over Stolen Funds
Continuing to speak on the missing funds, Pumpkin pointed out the money could have been used to pay for two semesters of her sister’s college education. But Mama June replied she didn’t expect her youngest daughter to stay in college. She also doesn’t want to pay the tuition just for her daughter to drop out.
“You’re being [a] negative b—!” Pumpkin declared. “You’re not a supportive mother!… Who cares?! It’s investing in your daughter if you lost 10 grand?”
Pumpkin then said Mama June lost the family way more money in the past. “You lost $500,000 to a bag of f—ing crack, b—! God forbid Alana drop out of college and waste 10 grand.”
As Mama June defends herself by telling her daughter she doesn’t tell them what to do with their money, Honey Boo Boo explained no one was mad about her refusal to help pay her college tuition.
“I don’t even want you to pay for college,” she stated. “I just want my 35 grand back in my account so I can pay for college.”
Mama June was banned from visiting Thompson at college following the heated discussion.
