• 'Honey Boo Boo' Dad Mike Thompson Now Living with June Shannon Again

    Just when it seemed like "Mama" June Shannon's life could not get anymore complicated, it has. In case you somehow missed out on all the drama that has played out over the last few months, we ill take a moment to remind you. First it was confirmed that Mike "Sugar Bear" Thompson had moved out of the home the couple shared and then we learned that Shannon had reconnected with an old boyfriend, Mark McDaniel, who did time for molesting her oldest daughter. Now it seems that McDaniel is out and Thompson has moved back in to the family home. According to TMZ, the two have confirmed that they are once again living together and taking steps toward repairing things. They have not officially reconciled just yet, but Shannon is reportedly working hard toward regaining Thompson's trust. In other words, they tweaked for a few months and now they are wishing that none of the mess had played out in the press. Somewhere around the middle of this mess we learned that TLC was still supporting Shannon's children, even after it canceled the family's reality show "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo." It was not going to even appear to support the choices Shannon was making, but it made sure the family was paid and offered counseling to the kids.
  • Dr. Phil: June Shannon's a Compulsive Liar Who Purposely Dates Criminals

    "Mama" June Shannon is continuing to try and save face in light of the scandal swirling around her. Supposedly, Shannon has been dating Mark McDaniel, a man who served 10 years in prison for molesting her then-8-year-old daughter Anna Cardwell. The repercussions of her dalliance have been far-reaching, as TLC has decided to pull the plug on her family's reality show "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" and her children seem to be pitted against each other, depending on who or what they believe. Shannon has opted to break her silence and has hit up the talk-show circuit in an attempt to tell her own version of the truth. According to an interview that TMZ conducted with Dr. Phil, after listening to Shannon's explanations he has come to the conclusion that she is a compulsive liar who is drawn to criminals. Shannon's sit-down interview with him aired Monday, Nov. 17, and perhaps the biggest thing that we learned from it was that four of the men she has dated long term have been incarcerated — two of them for sex crimes, with the man she claims fathered Lauryn and Jessica Shannon not eligible for release until 2026!
  • TLC Decides to Pay Most of 'Here Comes Honey Boo Boo' Cast for Final Season That Won't Actually Ever Air

    June Shannon really has unraveled her family business in just a few short weeks. It only took TLC a day or two to decide to cancel Here Comes Honey Boo Boo after photos of Shannon cavorting with her convicted sex offender ex, Mark McDaniel surfaced. While she has insisted that the truth will eventually come out and it'll be on her side, things as of now seem to be pretty dismal. One thing that has been pretty amazing is TLC's treatment of the rest of Shannon's family. Sure they packed up their lights and quickly removed all filming equipment from the house but they also have confirmed that the family will still get paid for a season that will now never air.
