Mama June ‘won’t see a dime’ from Honey Boo Boo and family’s new reality show after her crack arrest
MAMA June will not be earning a single dime from the new season of her show “Mama June From Not to Hot: Family Crisis”.
It seems like the new season of her show won’t be solving her money problems after she tried to sell several of her possessions to make some quick cash.
Sources exclusively told TMZ that although Mama June might make an appearance or two on the show, she won’t be profiting from it.
TMZ reported that “the troubled reality star won’t see a dime from WE TV’s upcoming show because she’s not an active participant.”
To be an active participant, Mama June needed to be involved in promoting the show on her social media and doing promotional interviews with media companies.
However, she’s failed to do so and her agent has reportedly been the one to post on social media on her behalf.
TMZ also reported that although she’s the central figure of the show, she won’t make any appearances in the show except for a couple of clips.
Mama June From Not To Hot: Family Crisis is reportedly only going to show her going to court and the family’s attempts to get her help for her drug addiction.
The show, instead, will focus on the aftermath of Mama June’s addiction and how it’s affected Honey Boo Boo, Pumpkin and the rest of the family.
Sources also told TMZ that “the family’s actually happy about [Mama June not getting paid for the show] — they’re afraid of what Mama might do with the dough.”
During a teaser of the show, fans were treated to the news that Mama June will be coming back home to her daughters.
As the door out of shot opens, Honey Boo Boo – real name Alana – looks up and a look of shock registers on her face, before the voiceover asks: “What’s it gonna be like when Mama finally comes home?”
Previous episodes showed June’s daughters Anna, 25, Jessica, 23, Lauryn, 20, and Alana, 14, have an intervention for their mother.
But despite her daughter’s pleas, she didn’t seek help; Honey Boo Boo has been living with her sister Lauryn after her mom ran off with Geno.
The reality TV star is also set to appear in court after she and her boyfriend, Geno Doak, were arrested for possession of a controlled substance – crack cocaine – and possession of drug paraphernalia – a crack pipe – in March 2019.
Her boyfriend was also charged with domestic violence.
The Sun exclusively reported that they could face up to a year in jail if found guilty – though they pleaded not guilty back in October 2019.
The trouble continued in December, as June and Geno were accused of leaving $1,000 worth of damage after trashing their hotel room.
They were kicked out of another hotel in January over a $2,000 bill.
Mama June has been desperate for cash, as she was caught pawning a diamond ring for $1,500 in January.
She has even been selling items, such as sneakers for $70, on Facebook Marketplace.

But two weeks ago, Mama June claimed over Instagram that she has decided to “get back at it.”
She continued: “I’m not saying I’m perfect as every day is a [struggle] n some days I just want to disappear n even though me n the kids aren’t still seeing each other n it’s [been] very hard on all of us but I hope one day that will [change].”
The troubled reality star added: “I want them to know I miss n love them very much.”
