Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, Again! The Titular Mama June Shannon Indicted for Crack -- It's Complicated.

[Foggy]

OMFG, we HAVE to have Mama June on the cover of Star.

How do we cheat?

[Orlylicious]

Well, Foggy, it's complicated The TV show is behind the news on TMZ, they are just getting to (here's the graphic from tonight's show, catchy title):

Not To Hot Intervention.JPG

Foggy, because I know how deeply interested and concerned you and everyone at Fogbow are about Mama June and Honey Boo Boo, started watching Season 2. There are 21 one-hour episodes, it just keeps getting better. I've learned so much about Mama June's new beau, Geno (maybe he's not the best choice for her), her ex husband Sugar Bear, June's sister "Doe Doe", Sugar Bear's new lady Jennifer (who denies she's copying Mama June while getting the same three surgeries), Boo Boo (Season 2 shows her on Dancing With The Stars, her cute young Canadian dance partner calls her "Boo Boo Bean", they even met in Chatanooga because Boo Boo did a TV ad for Pumpkin's husband's RV place and to thank her they got a RV for the weekend), and, of course, Pumpkin (and her husband Josh). Not much about gay Uncle Poodle since he and Mama June had a falling out.

Here's Doe Doe:



Sugar Bear has an Insta: https://www.instagram.com/realsugarbear/ -- He and Jennifer are both managed by Gina:

Interestingly, Mama June's manager (and the Executive Producer of this masterpiece) is named Gina Rodriguez, she's a busty Judge Jeanine type. Upon a bit of research, Twitter/@MzGinaRodriguez turns out to be a former porn star. Amazing.

As an adult film performer, Rodriguez appeared over 50 adult films under the name Demi Delia. Rodriguez appeared on Baywatch in 1992 and Robbery Homicide Division in 2002.[4] Starting in June 2009, along with her two children, she starred in the family's short-lived, web-based reality show, Mommy XXX[5] on Crackle.[6][7]

Rodriguez created her own management company, DD Entertainment (later known as GR Media), which represented women who notoriously claimed to be mistresses of various celebrities.[8] In 2012, she launched DialAStar.com in 2012 a phone service which allowed fans to phone celebrities.[9] As Nadya Suleman's manager, she produced and marketed the pornographic film Octomom Home Alone.[10] In 2012 she also was responsible for the management of number of musical ventures, including "Sexy Party" by Octomom and Adam Barta.

In 2017, she co-founded GiToni Productions, and executive produced her first reality TV show, "Mama June: From Not to Hot" on WE tv, on which she also starred. The show is currently airing in its third season. [11][12]

HONEY BOO BOO LIVING WITH BIG SIS
While Mama June Hangs with BF

Honey Boo Boo Living with Her Sister While Mama June Gambles with BF

EXCLUSIVE

Mama June's youngest daughter, 13-year-old Alana -- aka Honey Boo Boo -- has been forced to move in with her sister ... while June lives the casino life with her felon boyfriend. Sources close to June tell us 19-year-old Pumpkin (gov't name, Lauryn), is now serving as a de facto guardian to Honey Boo Boo. We're told HBB's been living with Pumpkin for several months and helps look after Lauryn's 1-year-old daughter, Ella.

Family sources tell us, Alana and June's other daughters understand their mom is going through a tough time ... and want to keep their distance from her and the "drama." We're told June rarely sees her family these days.

TMZ broke the story ... cops were called to a gas station in Alabama back in March after a domestic dispute between June and her boyfriend Geno Doak. According to the report, Doak threatened to kill June during the argument. When cops arrived they busted June for possession of crack cocaine. June was ordered to stay away from Doak by a judge, but she's clearly ignoring that ... shacking up with him at an Alabama casino and routinely hitting the slots.

June's family has urged her to get away from Doak -- as they feel he's a bad influence -- but our sources say their pleas have fallen on deaf ears.

This story is from just 8 hours ago:

Mama June's 'From Not to Hot' Co-Star Gina Rodriguez 'Worried' About Her Health, Relationship With Geno Doak
By CAITLYN HITT - May 25, 2019 01:41 pm EDT

Mama June Shannon left viewers worried for her after Friday's episode of Mama June: From Not to Hot, during which she was hospitalized. No one was more concerned than co-star Gina Rodriguez, who tweeted about the reality star's condition after the episode aired. Rodriguez tweeted it was "really difficult" for her and others involved in the show to see Shannon, 39, in that state. She added that it was made all the more difficult by having lived it, and not having been "able to get through to her." Rodriguez said in her tweet that she, along with others linked to Mama June: From Not to Hot, were concerned about Shannon's well-being, and boyfriend Geno Doak was a major hindrance.

Hours later, she shared a follow-up tweet in which she asked fans to pray for Shannon's family. The tweet included a video in which Rodriguez talked about how badly the WeTV personality needed help, telling fans she needed to put herself and her health "first, before anything."

Gina Rodriguez @MzGinaRodriguez
Please keep the Shannon Family in your prayers during this difficult time #MamaJune
1:32 AM - May 22, 2019 · Los Angeles, CA

During the show, which airs on WeTV, production was halted so Shannon could receive medical treatment after her hand went numb. She had been suffering back pain, which created a shooting pain down her arm. Despite the pain she was in, Shannon refused treatment and remained focused mostly on Doak, whom she'd been fighting with. Speaking with a producer during the episode, Shannon revealed that her beau thought she was complaining about her condition to get people to feel bad for her. The producer, a woman named Moriah, repeatedly assured her that wasn't the case.

"He's like, I want to get sympathy. No, I don't," she said during Friday's episode. "I don't want to go." "June, nobody thinks this. None of it matters," Moriah said. "Just make sure you're OK. This is not normal for your hand to be like that. We'll get you checked out. We'll all move on." Moriah later revealed to Shannon's daughters that she was the one to "make the call" to briefly end production and get the show's star to a doctor. She added that it wasn't easy to do, revealing that she had to get a staff member to take Shannon to a doctor.

"I had to have a staff member take her to the emergency room because she wasn't going to go because Geno wasn't gonna go, and at this point, we were all really concerned with her," Moriah said. Shannon was taken to an urgent care facility in the area, where she was treated. During the visit, she admitted that it hurt "like hell," revealing that her back was full of knots, and she had pain down one of her arms. Moriah said during the episode of Mama June: From Not to Hot that Shannon's condition appeared, in her opinion, to be stress-related. "She had all these knots in her back right? Which screams stress to me," she shared.

During the visit, Shannon also admitted that she felt as though she'd "lost" herself. She went on to say that she no longer had the desire to get out of bed on a daily basis. "I just can't handle life right now," she said. "Because honestly I just don't want to face the world because I'm hating who I am right now." The episode then pivoted to Shannon's other struggles, covering her downward spiral and subsequent arrest on March 13. At the time, TMZ reported that she and Doak were arrested for possession of crack cocaine and drug paraphernalia at an Alabama gas station. Her arrest pushed Shannon's family to enlist the help of a professional. That will be covered more in-depth during an upcoming episode of Mama June: From Not to Hot.

It's an interesting call that WeTV keeps running it. At the beginning of each episode, Pumpkin thanks the audience and is candid about the family having a tough time -- it's fair to say this show is not sanitized.

I know everybody here loves MJ and HBB, so wanted to share the update. This topic started Sat Oct 25, 2014, people can't get enough of that family. More to follow but this is why the reply to you is taking longer than I'd hoped.

[Orlylicious]

The groundswell of comments and outpouring of interest makes it clear everybody here wants to know more about what's up with MJ and her family so I don't want to stand in the way!

Almost through the 21 episodes of Season 2, thankfully Xfinity lets you skip through the commercials and teasers. It's a 1 hour show, but there's only about 35 minutes of content, that's helpful.

Here are a few reviews from IMDB if you want to counter the haters.

Mama June: From Not to Hot (2017– )

Trashy
nnance-0810711 August 2018
This show is trashy. It's hard to believe that children are allowed to talk on tv the way that Alana and her sister do. None of the actors are good at acting. In fact, they are awful. This is the most ignorant show on tv.

You can't fake surgery
Esmollin11 February 2018
You can't fake surgery. That's what got me hooked in this show. Some of the scenes are scripted but what Mama June went through was grueling. I'm not a fan of reality tv, this is the first one I've watched. Yes, the people at times may not act like the average person. But I admire June's motivation to lose the weight and change her life. I do wonder if Alana attends school and has friends. She is always around the adults, often times taking on their drama. I do hope that is addressed.

Still very much "NOT"
ShooShooFontana14 June 2018
Still obnoxious trash completely unworthy of airtime. Whomever decided this garbage is somehow "hot" should get their head examined. Unless by "hot" they're referring to a steaming hot pile of feces.

cekadah9 April 2017
This show is an amusing distraction from normal TV programming I try to catch. As Mama June says we all remember her family from the pop-icon TV show "Here Comes Honey Boo-Boo" which centered around June's youngest child Alana.

rstjames-3355210 August 2018
I love this show! I find it very entertaining, enjoyable and hilarious. It always puts a smile on my face. Josh and Pumpkin are my favorite!

Putting the story in spoilers cause in case a few haven't seen this all yet I don't want to ruin the suspense. I'm sure everybody agrees this is no good: "Of Doak's infidelity, Pumpkin said a woman recently "contacted me saying that he offered her $2,000 to come and do the nasty with him."

Mama June's Daughter Pumpkin Says Mom's Bank Account Is Being Drained Amid Crack Cocaine Case
By CAITLYN HITT - May 26, 2019 11:40 pm EDT

ABBC3_SPOILER_SHOW

Mama June Shannon's issues may be worse than fans thought. The Mama June: From Not to Hot star is running low on money, or so daughter Lauryn "Pumpkin" Shannon recently claimed. During a recently-aired WeTV special, called Road to Intervention, Pumpkin revealed that her mom was having financial issues following her March 2019 arrest at an Alabama gas station, Celebrity Insider reported. Pumpkin visited with her mother at the Alabama casino she and boyfriend Geno Doak had been living in on the documentary-style show. Pumpkin told her mom she'd been monitoring her bank account, and noticed it getting low.

As previously reported, Friday's episode of Mama June: From Not to Hot Pumpkin and Mama June's sister Joanne "Doe Doe" Shannon sat down with producer Moriah to review previously unaired footage, and discuss Mama June's issues ahead of a planned intervention. Among the topics they discussed were Doak, his alleged infidelity, and the couple's arrest. Pumpkin told Moriah that Doak should "work harder" to repair his bond with younger sister Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson, noting that the child was afraid of him after he was arrested for a probation violation. Moriah said "getting Geno home was kinda the first step," which Pumpkin appeared to agree with. "Alana and Geno were getting really close," Doe Doe said on the episode.

Of Doak's infidelity, Pumpkin said a woman recently "contacted me saying that he offered her $2,000 to come and do the nasty with him." That woman was one of at least six who reached out to share details of Doak's online behavior with Mama June's daughter.

Lastly, the women discussed the arrest. Pumpkin was adamant that Doak likely didn't put his hands on her mother, which is what prompted police to interact with the couple in the first place that fateful evening, but did say that they'd been "arguing, of course." It was revealed on the show that Doak and Mama June stopped at a gas station so he could get an energy drink, at which time Mama June "called the police twice and hung up."
***
Once at the facility, Mama June admitted she felt "lost." She also said in a confessional she was "hating" who she'd become. "I've lost who I am. I've lost who I was about," she confessed. "I'm hating who I am right now," Mama June added

Are you shitting us or has a Tardis taken us back to April Fools Day, Orlylicious?

[Orlylicious]

You're awesome Zeke! They're kind of my Poots, I love crazy stuff. John Waters, Edith Massey (I treasure a fried egg squeeky dog toy she signed to me), Divine and especially his manager Bernard Jay (who now runs a big theatre in South Africa) were/have been my friends for 30+ years. Mama June, Orly and Divine all have something in common

ABBC3_SPOILER_SHOW

According to Pumpkin, MJ and Geno have been to court twice already, but they were trying to have the same attorney and the judge said no. So June is trying to find a lawyer for Geno. But as MJ's sister Doe Doe said, he can get a public defender because he's broke.

BTW, anybody here interested in being Geno Doak's attorney?

Seemed like MJ was set, but her attorney asked to be taken off the case (shock!). So maybe there are two opportunities. If you're interested, I know which casino in Alabama they are staying in.

Dang that Orly, told her when MJ was having her spat over the old show and needed a lawyer it was perfect for her, but did she listen? Noooooo. Taitz would have been all over TV -- bigger than Avenatti! -- if she had moved her ass and taken MJ on.

[ZekeB]

Waters, Massey, Devine etal. Yeah, that's my kind of sick humor. But they carry it to an unbelievable level. They feature adults, not some child growing up in a … ummmmm indescribable environment. It wasn't weekly fare either. A diet of too much of anything is still too much.

[Orlylicious]

Since my post of 5/25, I'm sure you've all been wondering -- what made MJ have a falling out with Uncle Poodle? Good question. Well, part of it was this, and it got pretty ugly. Sorry for the delay!

The flood of questions and comments makes it clear everybody wants to know more, I'll keep you posted

[scirreeve]

JFC. I don't pay attention to this thread. Just popped in and decided my decision was correct.

[Orlylicious]

Scirreeve, considering all the folks you follow as a public service, and you know how much I think you rock, getting a "JFC" reaction from you is a great honor It's a tossup which I enjoy more -- the show or people's reactions. I don't mean the current situation, I mean that they've become worldwide names (the show is hugely popular internationally, my Danish friends know all about it) by literally not doing anything. MJ is getting at least 50 large an episode, clearly more than Poots will in a lifetime, but there's the same sort of determined stupidity. Never heard of MJ or family being birthers or poots, but wouldn't surprise me in the least. Maybe June's heard of Q. Sugar Bear's new lady, Jennifer, especially seems like a Trumper but it wasn't overt.

"determined stupidity" and "50 large an episode" seem sort of mutually exclusive to me. I could be downright ignorant for half that.

[Hurtzi]

Scirreeve, I really can't decide if thinking of Seim having to eat tripes or Mama June having a threesome with 2 ugly men is more fun. (Personally I would prefer well cooked tripes over a threesome with Mama June ).

[RVInit]

I get a kick out of this thread and the updates on this train wreck of a family. Too funny.

[Orlylicious]

Sorry for the delay! I know everybody's been eagerly awaiting a comprehensive update on Mama June, Geno, Honey Boo Boo, Sugar Bear, Jennifer, Pumpkin, Josh, Ella, Doe Doe, and the family and crew of "Mama June: From Not To Hot" now that the Season Finale has aired.

Imagine what was going on at weTV, good grief: "Mama June and Geno were apparently arrested for drug-related charges two days before the series premiered in March." So they knew what was coming. They kept it under wraps, the drug arrest was public but the show went at its own pace and fans were surprised.

From the overwhelming comments and questions, I imagine everyone here is right up to date on Mama June, but this primer about Geno has had 829K views. It's from a year ago, but it catches up between the cancellation of the last show and how Mama June and Geno met:

The Truth About Mama June's Boyfriend 829,592 views
Nicki Swift Published on Jun 3, 2018





Foggy called it exactly right about not having Jennifer on the cover of Star Magazine, as always he was prescient and thankfully Star Magazine listened to him. Sugar Bear's lady, Jennifer, has been so mean to Mama June but now she "truly cares".

From 2 years ago, this was when Jennifer met Mama June, it didn't go well. Jennifer uses "bless her heart"!





This season, Alana used Mama June's phone to book herself an Uber, she left a dress shop without telling Mama and went to Sugar Bear and Jennifer's lovely place. Mama was very unhappy and brought an air horn, she's had it with Jennifer:





But after all that, now Jennifer cares. Jennifer's insta is https://www.instagram.com/jenniferlambthompson/. June's insta is https://www.instagram.com/mamajune/

Frankly, I reckon they are all truly caring about the money they're losing, weTV hasn't committed to another season of "Mama June: From Not To Hot".

Which editor at the International Business Times felt this needed coverage? He or she should get a promotion! Along with Mel Rose Matulac who wrote the line, "pray for the troubled matriarch amid this difficult time".

Mama June’s Nemesis Jennifer ‘Truly Cares’ For Alana’s Mom Amid Backlash
By Mel Rose Matulac 06/03/19 AT 10:32 PM

Jennifer Lamb Thompson has made it clear that she “truly cares” for Mama June Shannon even though they didn’t see eye to eye in the past. She also asked fans of their reality show to pray for the troubled matriarch amid this difficult time. Ahead of the finale of “Mama June: From Not To Hot” Season 3 that was aired last Friday, Jennifer took to Instagram to share a snap she took with Mama June and the show’s producer Gina Rodriguez. In the picture, Mama June is seen playfully sticking her tongue out toward Gina, who is standing in between Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson’s mother and Jennifer.

“This photo shows June’s fun personality. When we took this photo it was earlier in the season and everything was good or at least we thought,” Jennifer captioned her post. “June and I may have had our differences in the past but I truly care about this woman and her family. This has been a difficult time and I ask that you keep Miss June in your prayers.” Aside from being Mike “Sugar Bear” Thompson’s new wife, Jennifer was also portrayed as the nemesis of Mama June on the WE tv reality show. In the recently concluded season, the two of them even had a weight loss showdown before things turned for the worse for Mama June, who got into trouble with her ex-convict lover, Geno.

Mama June and Geno were apparently arrested for drug-related charges two days before the series premiered in March. Things have been very difficult for the family since then, with Mama June choosing Geno over her children, leaving 13-year-old Alana without a legal guardian. In the finale, it was revealed that Mama June’s 21-year-old daughter, Lauryn “Pumpkin” Shannon, was granted temporary custody over her younger sister. But prior this, Sugar Bear and Jennifer tried to step in and attempted to gain custody over the former “Toddlers & Tiaras” star. Their move was met with a lot of backlash from fans who were rooting for Pumpkin to be Alana’s legal guardian.

Many fans slammed Jennifer and Sugar Bear on Twitter. One user pointed out how Jennifer used to be the one who was so eager to prove that Alana wasn’t her husband’s daughter. Another called out Jennifer for disrespecting Mama June while the latter was clearly down. Others expressed their anger toward Sugar Bear for not caring about Alana for many years until the controversy blew up.

Here's the insta Jennifer posted, that's ex porn star Gina in the middle, manager of June and Jennifer and Exec Producer of this classic. They stay "sticking her tongue out", but doesn't it look like MJ is licking Gina? They are manager and client so I guess it's cool...

June Licking Gina.JPG

Alana and Pumpkin did an interview with OK! Magazine in March, they are both disappointed in Sugar Bear, they say they only hear from him when they "have to film".





Pumpkin is staying positive:

Pumpkin @mychelle_lauryn

One day you’ll wake up and all of a sudden the weight of the last few weeks will be lifted off your shoulders. You can’t control when that day comes, all you can do is stay strong and trust that it is coming.

9:42 AM - 2 Jun 2019

For some reason, as Mama's agent, Gina calls herself Brandilyn Snail. But it's Gina and her site. Maybe somebody can call Gina and ask why.

As far as Geno goes:

According to Daily Mail Geno’s criminal record includes “burglary, theft, and criminal damage to property, which has sent him to the slammer twice.” He was first arrested in 1996 for felony burglary, for which he served three months of his one year sentence. They report that he was arrested for felony burglary again in 2009 after stealing a $500 cargo trailer in Georgia and that while he was out on bail a month later he was “involuntarily admitted to Riverwood Behavioral Health System in Clayton County for distress and for attempting to commit suicide for a third time.”

According to The Hollywood Gossip, Doak pled guilty to felony criminal damage to property in the third degree in 2013; though he was sentenced to four years in jail, he served only 15 months before getting out on parole in January 2015.

https://heavy.com/entertainment/2019/05 ... al-record/

So with the arrest, this is the top priority for Mama June and Geno now, apparenly MJ can't leave Alabama until this is settled.

Officials in Macon County, Alabama tell The Blast the reality star was charged Monday morning over an arrest that occurred last Wednesday following an alleged domestic dispute between the star and boyfriend, Geno Doak.

We’re told Shannon was charged with a felony for possession of a controlled substance and a misdemeanor for possession of drug paraphernalia. The controlled substance is listed as crack cocaine, and the paraphernalia was noted by officials as showing evidence of crack cocaine residue and was determined to be recently used.We’re told the reality star faces up to 1-year in jail on the felony drug charge.

Hard to believe, but the Sheriff of Macon County wasn't familiar with Mama June.

‘Mama June’ was treated like any other suspect, AL sheriff says
By John Shryock and WSFA Staff | March 19, 2019 at 11:01 AM CDT - Updated March 19 at 5:59 PM

MACON COUNTY, AL (WSFA) - Macon County Sheriff Andre Brunson wasn’t familiar with June Shannon, aka Mama June, when she was booked into his jail Wednesday, but when the phones started ringing off the hook, he knew she wasn’t an ordinary arrest. Shannon and her boyfriend, Geno Doak, were arrested on multiple charges after deputies responded to a domestic violence call at a Franklin area gas station.

After being booked, calls came flooding in from national television shows wanting information and a mugshot. “I never imagined we would get so many phone calls from so many different people about them,” Brunson said. “Me, myself, I wasn’t too familiar with Mama June and all, you know the whole TV series... but somebody recognized them right away.”

But the sheriff wasn’t about to give special treatment. “We followed our rules and our guidelines,” he explained, " and they were treated the same as anybody else when they come to the Macon County Jail."
***
Brunson said Shannon was “cordial” and said deputies didn’t have problems with either suspect during their interaction and subsequent arrest. Shannon bonded out of the jail that day on drug charges, the sheriff said. Doak, however, was delayed in bonding out for a mandatory 24 hours due to the domestic nature of his charge.“They were acting so loving while they were here [at jail],” Brunson explained. “but out there, they did have a domestic.” When asked if he’d ever had such a high-profile arrest in his time as sheriff, Brunson said “not like this one... this has been overwhelming the last few days."

Apparently, drugs have been an issue for a while.

'Mama June' Shannon Was Reportedly on 'Drug Binge' Amid Arrest
By JOSE BASTIDAS - May 24, 2019 11:01 pm EDT

Mama June's substance abuse problems were an issue long before her arrest for possession back in March. The From Not to Hot star was arrested in Alabama with her boyfriend Geno Doak on March 13 for possession of drug paraphernalia and for carrying a substance believed to be crack cocaine.
***
According to sources that spoke with HollywoodLife, Mama June's drug use is not a surprise to those close to her, despite it being a surprise for fans. "I'm so shocked this didn't get out long before," one insider said. "When you'd go to her house she would be out of it like you're out [of it] before you get put under before surgery. She was wiped," one source said. The insider also claimed that Geno – who has been convicted of burglary, theft and parole violations – "looked out of it too."

The person also said that June "has been high when she is with him." The situation got so out of control, the insider added, that the show's production team urged her to seek treatment in February in Georgia where she lives. "There were needles everywhere in her home. Alana [was sent] to live with Pumpkin," a source told the outlet when Mama June was arrested. "June went to rehab at the end of February in Georgia after they wrapped filming Season 3 of her show. She was in there voluntarily, but she left and was on a drugs binge until she got arrested."

Another source shared similar feelings, telling the outlet: "I'm disgusted there has not been change in June in all these years. She is still blaming others and has a drug problem. Since the very beginning there's been issues and this is nothing new."

https://popculture.com/reality-tv/2019/ ... id-arrest/

Sugar Bear and Jennifer agreed to give Pumpkin custody and that seems like the best plan right now for HBB. An attorney weighs in on how this might affect custody:

The arrest has raised several questions about Mama June and whether or not her custody of daughter Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson will be affected. According to Jonathan V. Dunn, it is a very real possibility. “This could certainly impact the parties’ child custody litigation,” Dunn told Hollywood Life. “Evidence of substance abuse is expressly identified as a factor for the Court’s consideration in determining the best interests of the child, which is the ultimate issue in deciding child custody cases. However, this is not dispositive as there are several other factors which may counterbalance this incident.”

Despite his reservations, Dunn believes that the lack of a conviction will work in Mama June’s favor. “While a conviction would certainly intensify her exposure, the absence of a conviction, or even an acquittal, will not be exculpatory in this context,” he said. “This is because it is necessary for the prosecutor to prove her guilt beyond a reasonable doubt in order to obtain a conviction in the criminal trial; whereas, evidence of substance abuse need only be proven by a preponderance of the evidence.”

Sugar, there may be an opening, should we connect you with weTV?

So the bottom line is, it's complicated. But back to the good times, here's Mama making her Cranberry Goodness & then she cooks Tuna Noodle Casserole!!! I'm a terrible cook, maybe somebody can try these and let us know how they are... the Cranberry Goodness is next to a bowl of Cheetos.

Thanks, Orlylicious! I thought someone should try those recipes for you since you watch this show so we don’t have to.

I was going to volunteer, but then I watched the video. No, just no! I think we can safely say these recipes are inedible.

I know everybody's been eager to hear what's up with Mama June and Honey Boo Boo... it's still complicated.

Thought of you Jem, Nikki Swift talks about... Sketti!

June "Mama June" Shannon's life has been nothing short of tragic. From fat shaming to drug charges to a controversial childhood — the road to fame and fortune has been riddled with adversity for this reality TV star. Shannon and her pageant princess daughter, Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson, first debuted on the TLC show Toddlers and Tiaras. When producers realized this family was a reality show dream, the network gave Shannon and her brood their own show in 2012, dubbed Here Comes Honey Boo. Think about it: How easy is it to find a family that mixes a tub of butter with ketchup, calls it "sketti" (aka spaghetti), and devours it like a Ruth Chris filet?

Let's start with the good news... Sugar Bear re-proposed to Jennifer!

Mike ‘Sugar Bear’ Thompson Re-Proposed to His Wife, Jennifer, and the Ring Is Gorgeous!

By Chelsea Duff

Is the third time the charm when trip No. 3 down the aisle is with your first wife? Former Here Comes Honey Boo Boo star Mike “Sugar Bear” Thompson is about to find out, because he just re-proposed to his wife, Jennifer Lamb. The star asked his spouse to marry him again on Saturday, June 15 — and this time he wants to do it up right. Fans saw the couple tie the knot on Mama June: From Not to Hot, but they’re ready for round two.

“Well @realsugarbear asked me to marry him again , this time with friends and family, ” Jennifer, 45, shared on Instagram, showing off a photo of her ring. The two first tied the knot back in 2017, and though it was Sugar Bear’s second wedding, it was his first marriage. He and Mama June Shannon may have had their ceremony where they shared vows in hunting gear and a poofy pink dress, but it turns out they never made things official with legal paperwork.

***
On the show, they’ve been showing fans just how strong their relationship is. When his wife was recovering from surgery and feeling low, the reality star dad even donned some of her old clothes to put on an impromptu fashion show, twerking included, just to cheer her up. He’s also always showing love for her on Instagram, writing captions like, “How beautiful does @jenniferlambthompson look?! #lookinlikeasnack,” and “I love my @jenniferlambthompson. ” It’s clear these two are the real deal — and we can’t see them walk down the aisle once again.

Mama June had threesome with Sugar Bear and his brother Billy, claims Uncle Poodle

So this is the brother in the threesome with Mama June. Uncle Poodle is gay and another reason he and MJ are on the outs was when he had his own accident, he said they didn't give a damn. TMZ 2015:

Uncle Poodle ... I Almost Died And My Family Didn't Give A DAMN!!
1/11/2015 12:45 AM PST EXCLUSIVE

Uncle Poodle is lucky to be alive after a New Year's Day health scare ... and no one cared.

Poodle tells TMZ he woke up with a dangerously elevated heart rate ... it felt like his heart was pounding out of his chest.

Docs put him under and used paddles to shock his heart back into rhythm.

The "Honey Boo Boo" clan never showed up ... not a single one of them. Poodle's bro, Sugar Bear, texted him a few times but otherwise it was radio silence. Not even a damn flower.

Poodle says he specifically texted Mama June but she clearly was not on his "get well soon" list.

Here's the bigger problem. Poodle was laid up in a hospital bed for a week, and the $150K bill is all his ... no health insurance.

He seems to be OK now, Uncle Poodle's Facebook page is https://www.facebook.com/TheUnclePoodle/

Sugar Bear of Here Comes Honey Boo Boo and Mama June: From Not to Hot is now dealing with the fact that his brother was in a terrible car accident. A GoFundMe was set up to help him out yesterday which explains the details of the wreck. It sounds like the family is very close.

Details of Sugar Bear’s brother’s wreck
The details are out about the wreck from the GoFundMe page. It shared that William “Billy” Thompson was in a wreck. Mike and their other brother Lee Thompson, also known as Uncle Poodle, have been by his side ever since the wreck supporting him. It is great to see them there to support him at this time. The post explains some of the details of his accident and what happened. Here is what they had to say.

“Billy was in a horrible car accident on 6/17/19 around 10:30pm on 441 Milledgeville, GA. He sustained life threating injuries including internal bleeding, multiple broken bones, 3rd degree burns on his legs and arms. He was airlifted to Grady Memorial in ATL where he was placed in ICU in a medical induced coma, & ventilated.”

So there's that. Unfortunately, there's still trouble at MJ's... apparently Geno crashed into MJ's garage and HBB is not moving back in until Geno's out. So she's still with Pumpkin and Josh.

MAMA JUNE'S WASTED BF SLAMS SUV INTO GARAGE
... Honey Boo Boo Reacts

Mama June's BF Geno Doak Crashes Into Her Garage, Honey Boo Boo Reacts
EXCLUSIVE

6:00 PM PT -- Mama June's 13-year-old daughter, Alana, eventually made it over to her mom's house after we posted video of Geno crashing his SUV into her garage, and struggling to stand afterward. Presumably, she was concerned, but just check out Honey Boo Boo's reaction as she surveys the damage ... it's a classic WTF look. We're told HBB was able to coax June out of the house for a face-to-face chat that lasted about an hour, but Mama eventually went back inside ... without her kid.Mama June's boyfriend was in no shape to drive -- or even walk -- when he slammed his SUV into her home's garage ... and video of the aftermath is incredibly alarming.

Witnesses in Mama's neighborhood tell us ... Geno Doak was speeding down the street Friday before he pulled into the driveway and crashed into the garage. We're told he began honking the horn for June to come out ... and that's where the video begins. The 'From Not to Hot' star comes out of the house to the passenger door wearing a purple negligee. June hops in the SUV, and it appears she's leaning over to try to help her boyfriend -- possibly unfasten his seat belt -- so he can get out and go in the house ... but the mission fails.

Geno manages to make it out of the vehicle -- shirtless with his pants and socks falling off -- but he appears to be thoroughly inebriated and can only stumble his way a few steps up the sidewalk toward the front door before retreating back to the SUV. At one point, Mama's seen trying to pull Doak's pants up, but he slaps her hand away and starts punching the windows of the vehicle. He's an absolute mess ... and clearly a danger behind the wheel.
***
As we've reported ... Mama's family has been concerned about her relationship with Doak and what very much seems to be a severe crack cocaine addiction, and attempted to stage an intervention. She and Geno were both arrested back in March for felony possession of a controlled substance, and he was also booked for domestic violence. That didn't stop the couple from hanging out -- despite a court order not to -- at the casino ... which is where June was shacking up for a while with her BF. June's family's been worried he's a danger to her, but after this video ... it's evident he's more dangerous than that.

Ever since I first heard of sketti back in 2012 I wondered what a sauce made simply of ketchup and butter would taste like. Well, today's the the day to find out.

[Foggy]

I'm just thankful that little Alana is having a normal, fulfilling, nurturing childhood. Being a 13 year old girl is always a challenge in this great land of ours, regardless of your circumstances. But she obviously has a loving fambly and has made healthy choices about her education, diet, nutrition, and supportive friendships. I'm sure she will attend a highly rated university and will do well there. Soon enough, Orlylicious will be telling us about the wonderful man she chooses to marry, and she'll live happily ever after!

I 'm thinking more like the FL Woman thread.

You're right Foggy, it's been a cakewalk.

OMFG..... Either of those separately is bad enough, combined and fed to a child, particularly one with the metabolic, and most probably mental problems of that one, is the grossest of child abuse as far as I am concerned.

[Lani]

Yeah, I agree.

I watch junk, stupid shows because I have a high stress job. I first saw Honey Boo Boo, or whatever her name, when briefly on Tiaras and Toddlers. It was a train wreck. T&T didn't didn't reduce stress levels, so I stopped watching, but did see a spinoff episode with Boo Boo getting chubbier and her older sister was crying out in labor while her mother lectured her on premarital sex. The family was too creepy and abusive for me. And that was before the pedophilia and meth stories became common knowledge.
