Mama June’s former son-in-law, Josh Efird was in a horrible accident, and now, his ex-wife, Pumpkin Efird is spilling the tea on how he is doing. There are reasons why she knows his status and was immediately informed as to what had transpired. Keep reading for a Josh update and Pumpkin’s alleged sick reaction.
Josh Efird In Accident, Is He Okay?
On August 1st, Pumpkin and Josh Efird filed for divorce after being married for six years and together nearly a decade. They have four children, Ella, Bentley, Stella, and Sylus plus helped raise Alana ‘Honey Boo Boo’ Thompson. In December 2023, Pumpkin and Alana’s sister, Anna Cardwell passed away. That took an extreme toll on Pumpkin and Josh was concerned for her mental health. He even revealed he had never seen her like that and was scared she would never get out of her funk. His grandmother then passed away in April 2024.
Allegedly, right after, Pumpkin hooked up with his cousin, Darrin Kitchens, and that began the downfall of their marriage. She is still with Darrin to this day, attending concerts and traveling alongside Mama June. They both mock the fact that they are together and Josh is left out in the cold. Yet, they do it via memes on social media. However, things just took a dark turn and Pumpkin had to be there for Josh even if she did not want to be. Per a Reddit thread, Josh was in a car accident, hit at 65 mph, and his truck flipped.
Since Pumpkin was still his emergency contact, they called her. Elle Bee was on the case and shared her insider information. It happened early on Tuesday, September 24th. The truck, which is less than a year old, was crashed into, and as aforementioned, flipped. He was seemingly on the way to do a job when this occurred and was knocked unconscious, claiming his shoulder hurt. Pumpkin was his emergency contact and she asked if he was okay. Then, she learned Josh was headed to the hospital to be further examined.
Pumpkin’s Reaction
Josh Efird seemed to be okay minus falling unconscious and some bodily pain so it was a good idea to go get a complete checkup. Per Elle Bee and her insiders, when Pumpkin was asked if she was going to see him, she said no. Furthermore, she shared that he was just looking for a check. After fans heard this, what was their take? Should she have at least checked in on him so he would not be alone?
- What a trashy thing to say.
- I hope he isn’t hurt and recovers emotionally from this accident. Crashes can cause complex emotional issues and pumpkin doesn’t act right even if they have issues she should be more empathetic to the father of her 4 very young kids
- If it’s true that she said he’s just looking for a check, I take this more as she is just looking for a check. Money grubbing is her middle name.
- “He’s just looking for a check”. Wtf. Ew. What an awful thing to say about the FATHER OF YOUR CHILDREN THAT COULD HAVE DIED FROM THIS. She is so disgusting and unempathetic. I wouldn’t even say that to my worst enemy. How gross of her.
No one felt Pumpkin was right in this situation and felt she was completely off-base, lacking empathy. More so, some believed she was the one who wanted the check, especially after seeing how bad off his truck was.
Do you think Pumpkin should have at least gone and made sure he was okay? Or, has she completely done away with him? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
