Mama June fans recently got to know about Anna ‘Chickadee’ Cardwell’s death after her long and painful cancer battle. She died at the age of 29 and left two young daughters behind her. This made the viewers wonder what her kids’ fate would be and how Shannon’s family would deal with them.
Recently, some sources confirmed that Shannon would be the one taking custody of one of Anna’s daughters. This was a shock for the entire fan base as they couldn’t believe how she could even think of separating these two little siblings.
Mama June: Is Shannon Getting Anna’s Daughter’s Custody?
Anna secretly tied the knot with her long-term partner, Eldridge Toney. She did this after her cancer diagnosis and fulfilled her dream of marrying. However, the Mama June celeb didn’t have any child with her husband, while her two daughters were from her previous relationships.
After Anna’s death, her daughters’ future became a question mark. Fans wondered who would get the custody and how Shannon’s family would carry on with the family. Recently, some reports claimed that Anna’s 8-year-old daughter Kylee has moved back to her biological father, Michael, whom Anna divorced before announcing her relationship with Toney.
As per TMZ, Kylee moving in with her father was preplanned even before Anna’s death. On the other hand, the latter’s 11-year-old daughter, Kaitlyn, is currently living with Mama June these days. The noted source revealed that she has a great relationship with her grandmother, and moving in with her was the best option for her.
Not only this, but Shannon is also planning to apply for custody of Kaitlyn legally as well. Amid all this, some reports stated that Toney also shares a great bond with the girls and would continue to be a part of their lives. Even Kylee and Kaitlyn’s relationship with each other is also strong. So, despite being separated, they would keep meeting each other.
Mama June: Why Fans Think Shannon Shouldn’t Get Kaitlyn’s Custody?
Fans never considered Mama June to be a great mother. Her kids’ childhood was ruined because of her addictions and a long list of boyfriends. Hence, even her own children slammed her for not fulfilling her motherly duties towards them. That is why, for years, the matriarch didn’t have a decent relationship with her own daughters.
It was at the time of Shannon and Justin’s second wedding when her girls decided to show up. They reconciled and started to become a part of each other’s life again. Keeping in mind Shannon’s history, fans aren’t sure that giving her Kaitlyn’s custody would be a great option for the family.
Apparently, Shannon’s couldn’t even handle her own daughter Honey Boo Boo. She ended up losing her custody, and it was Pumpkin who raised the latter. After all this, viewers are skeptical about whether June would be able to raise an 11-year-old girl or not.
However, as per the current scenario, Shannon is no longer an addict and has been clean for years. She has mended fences and is trying her best to be as involved as possible in her girls’ lives. So, there is a fair chance that the matriarch would do a great job in raising Kaityln and perhaps would take this responsibility as a redemption for her past mistakes.
