Mama June: Family Crisis star Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson is sick of Mama’s lies and betrayals and now, she’s ready to fight back on the hit WEtv reality series.
Mama June: Family Crisis – Mama Pushes Alana Thompson Too Far
Recently, on Mama June: Family Crisis, Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson turned to her mama, June Shannon, for help. After much thought, Alana is going to college in Colorado and she’s bringing her boyfriend, Dralin Carswell, along with her. Indeed, she’s ecstatic, however, college is expensive even with her $21,000 scholarship.
So, she asked Mama to help pay her tuition, thinking Mama would say yes. Unfortunately, Mama refused to help her pay for college on Mama June: Family Crisis. No doubt, Alana was in shock, but then, things got worse when June hit Alana and the whole family with a devastating truth bomb.
June Shocks the Family
When Mama said she wouldn’t come out of pocket for Alana, she asked about the money that was put away for her when she was younger. While growing up, she did several reality shows. First, she started on Toddlers & Tiaras.
Then, her own reality show, Here Comes Honey Boo Boo. Also, Dancing with the Stars and The Masked Singer. Legally, June was obligated to put 20% of her earnings into a Coogan account.
But, in a recent Mama June: Family Crisis episode, Alana asked her mom if she could use that money for college. No doubt, the entire family was stunned when June announced that there was only 33,000 in her account.
There should be hundreds of thousands that she’s accumulated over the years. But, it turns out that Mama used that money to buy their family home, pay for vacations, and other miscellaneous things.
The funds were to stay in an account for Alana until she was an adult. They were not supposed to be used for family expenses. Rightfully, Alana is beside herself. And so is her sister, Lauryn “Pumpkin” Shannon.
She’s livid with Mama for spending that money. This week, Alana comes home for a visit to Pumpkin’s. They plan to sit down with Mama. And they intend to make her pay one way or another on Mama June: Family Crisis.

Now, Alana and Pumpkin are barely speaking to their mother. Pumpkin and her husband, Josh Efird, helped Alana with her first semester. And she and Dralin went off to Colorado and found a townhouse to rent.
So far, she’s loving college life and still keeps in close contact with Pumpkin. She even went out to visit Alana and go to orientation with her. While she was there, they discussed what Mama did and they are not going to let her get away with it.
June is never held accountable for her actions. But they are about to change all that on Mama June: Family Crisis. In the mid-season finale, Pumpkin does some digging and discovers some shady things.
She and Alana won’t stop until June hands over the money. Or, they’re willing to take the legal route. However, June’s husband, Justin Stroud, has other ideas and will not rest until Alana gets her money.
June Shannon Finally Pays on Mama June: Family Crisis
June’s hubby, Justin, is not taking this well. He can’t believe that she spent most of Alana’s money. Furthermore, he is tired of her lies. In the beginning of all of this, she told him that instead of putting 20% in the Coogan account, she put in 80%.
However, she did put the 20% in and spent the 80%. Justin is big on honesty because it’s a huge part of sobriety, for both of them. But she’s not being honest and he’s had enough. On the next episode of Mama June: Family Crisis, he hits June with an ultimatum.
Either she goes to the bank and takes out $30,000 from their savings account to give to Alana or he’s leaving her. And she flat out asks him if he feels like their marriage is over. So, June must cough up the cash if she wants to keep her husband. Indeed, it shouldn’t come to that.
But, Alana is sure to be grateful to Justin for stepping up for her. And he is forcing Mama to do what’s right. Things are more intense than ever for the Shannon family. Be sure to tune in to the mid-season finale to see Alana Thompson go after what belongs to her on the WEtv reality show.
