MAMA June’s daughter Pumpkin has been promoting a controversial diet product on her social media while the matriarch is getting into trouble with bad news boyfriend Geno Doak.
On Tuesday, Pumpkin, whose real name is Lauryn, promoted Boom Bod Weight Loss Shot Drink, which aims to reduce appetite and bloating.
She captioned a photo of her stomach: “Staying on track over the holidays can be HARD, but @boombod makes it a lot easier.
“I’ve seen such amazing progress from their programs, and even this time of year hasn’t slowed me down – temptation is everywhere, but these shots handle those cravings like they’re nothing. Need help with hitting some goals before the new year? Grab a box of this while it’s BOGO free right now!”
Pumpkin, who has been caring for her 14-year-old sister Honey Boo Boo amid Mama June’s downward spiral, has been promoting the product since August 2019.
The 20-year-old has posted bare stomach shots every month since October to show her weight loss transformation.
But fans have slammed the former reality star for promoting the controversial product.
One fan wrote: “Stop promoting dangerous products as weight loss miracles.”
A second follower said: “It’s hard to believe when you took the recent photo at a whole other angle and covered your stomach with your leggings.”
A third user wrote: “Advertising product that doesn’t work just for money.”
But fans have also been supportive, as one wrote in her defense: “She’s raising her sister give her a break. She has bills to pay and she’s doing the best she can. Feel sorry for her not angry.”
Mama June, whose real name is June Shannon, has been in legal trouble ever since running off with her bad news boyfriend.
She reportedly pawned a diamond ring just weeks after she was allegedly kicked out of a hotel over an $2,000 unpaid bill in January.
In December, June, 40, and Geno were also accused of leaving $1,000 worth of damage and shattered glass after trashing their room at the FairBridge Inn & Suites in Atlanta.
In September, Shannon and Geno were charged with possession of crack cocaine – a felony – and a crack pipe – a misdemeanor.
Geno also faces domestic violence charges.
The couple pled not guilty to all charges.
The Mama June: From Not to Hot star’s youngest daughter, Honey Boo Boo, is currently in Pumpkin’s custody while she battles financial trouble and addiction.

Pumpkin has praised Honey Boo Boo, whose real name is Alana, amid their mother’s trouble.
She wrote on Instagram in August: “Happy birthday to my not so little sister. Today you’re 14 and I’m so happy I get to spend it with you.
“Things haven’t been the easiest lately but I promise we will get through it. I love being there for you when you need me most and I enjoy being your sister mom.”
