Mama June slammed by daughter Pumpkin for ‘not giving a s**t’ when she abandoned her and Alana during drug addiction
MAMA June was slammed by her daughter Pumpkin for “not giving a s**t” when she abandoned her and Alana Thompson during her drug addiction.
The 21-year-old made the claim during Friday’s new episode of Mama June: Road to Redemption.
During the reality show’s latest episode, Pumpkin sat down with June’s boyfriend Geno Doak for the first time since the couple’s arrest.
Back in March 2019, June and Geno were arrested on drug possession charges, including possession of a controlled substance and drug paraphernalia charges in Alabama.
The Mama June: From Not to Hot star and Geno have since focused on their sobriety while living in Florida.
Meanwhile, Alana 15, has been living with Pumpkin and her husband.
While talking to Geno, Pumpkin- whose real name is Lauryn Efird- said: “I just need y’all to know there was a lot of hurt over the past year.
“I had to take care of Alana when I wasn’t really prepared to do that.
“While I was just becoming a mom myself, trying to figure it out on my own, Mama wasn’t there.
“You weren’t around. It was really a whole mess.”
Geno said there was “no excuse” for their behavior while high and admitted he now knows they were wrong, while he explained: “At the time, drugs clouded our brains so much that you see what we did.”
After Geno detailed the mistakes he and June made while under the influence of drugs, Pumpkin noted that Alana– who also goes by the nickname Honey Boo Boo- was hurt by their drug use.
Pumpkin further explained in a confessional: “I do feel bad for Alana because her piece of s**t daddy, he doesn’t really have anything to do with her, but when Geno started coming around he went above and beyond for Alana and really showed Alana what a father was supposed to be.
She added: “And then two years later Geno dropped her and he and Mama didn’t really give a s**t.”

Last week’s episode of Mama June: Road to Redemption documented the 41-year-old’s emotional reunion with Pumpkin and Alana after not seeing her daughters in over a year.
While the group sat down with Dr. Ish Major, June was asked what “the hardest part for you as a mother knowing you couldn’t be there for them” was.
June, whose real name is June Shannon, responded: “Knowing that y’all chose to walk away, I’m not gonna lie to y’all. I was kind of pissed.”
After Ish and her daughters expressed their shock, June continued: “I just felt like they were turning their back on me.
“When I’ve always been there and I did feel that at that time when y’all wasn’t coming around.”
