• 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!

    It is hard to attempt to keep up with the scandal that has overrun June Shannon's family. What is certain is that her rekindled relationship with Mark McDaniel, a man who served time for molesting Shannon's daughter Anna Cardwell, caused TLC to abruptly cancel "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo." Instead of distancing itself from the family, it has actually supported Shannon's children, who have been devastated by the turn of events. They have been paid in full for the last season of the reality show that filmed but will never air and have also been offered counseling. It seems there has been a new rumor nearly ever day, but Shannon has opted to stay quiet. Until now. "Entertainment Tonight" managed to score a full, sit-down, explosive new interview with Shannon that is scheduled to air tonight, and she has attempted to use this opportunity to tell her side of the story. Unfortunately, while putting to rest the notion that McDaniel actually fathered her daughter Lauryn, Shannon reveals that the real father of Lauryn and her sister Jessica is also a sex offender!

    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.

The problem is that Mark McDaniel was convicted of molesting an 8-year old member of Shannon's family more than ten years ago. He served a decade in prison and was released just last spring. In recent months Shannon has reportedly snuck off to see McDaniel and there are photos to prove it.
