Honey Boo Boo and Mama June soon became famous after they did some pageant shows and got their own spinoff. Their entire life was featured in their franchise, and viewers witnessed the pathetic childhood of the former. The star kid had to face many unfortunate incidents, and Alana even had to take therapy to overcome them.
But now viewers have started to wonder if Mama June was trying to replace Alana with Kaitlyn. She is fighting for her granddaughter’s custody while fans predict that the star kid will become the new Honey Boo Boo of the franchise.
Mama June: Will Kaitlyn Become The New Version Of Honey Boo Boo?
Mama June is currently fighting for the custody of Anna’s daughter, Kaitlyn. The latter’s ex-husband filed for the legal rights of the star kid in court, and Shannon isn’t ready to give her away at any cost. The celeb has been battling for a while now and is slamming Michael.
Fans were in shock when they saw Shannon being determined to take Kailtyn’s custody. This came after she even ended up losing her own daughter, Honey Boo Boo’s custody. However, the latter has finally overcome all her traumas and has moved out for her college.
Hence, now fans believe that Shannon is trying to fit Kaitlyn in the role of Honey Boo Boo so that she can keep the show going on. A Reddit thread even started and wondered the same. The OP stated, “Maybe she thinks she can do a redo and have her in pageants, etc.”
The thread started off with, “Does anyone else think that Mama June wants custody of Kaitlin so she can take Honey Boo Boos place in the show?.” The OP pointed out the possibility of Shannon wanting a new “kid” in place of Alana so that her family show’s relevance could stay intact for a long time.
It could feature how Shannon would become a good mother for a change. Hence, there is a fair chance that she is determined to take Kaitlyn’s custody just for the sake of WeTv’s pay cheque.
Mama June: Is Shannon Using Kaitlyn For Getting State & Show’s Money?
Shannon has already accused Michael of wanting Kaitlyn’s custody for the sake of money. She stated that she was well aware of the latter’s intentions and won’t let this happen. But it appears that Mama June viewers aren’t convinced with her point of view and believe that things are the other way around.

Several viewers admitted in a recent Reddit thread that Shannon might have ulterior motives behind taking Kailtyn’s custody. A user wrote, “The only reason June is pushing to keep Kaitlin is because she thinks she’ll get money.” Another stated, “She wants the survivor benefits money, and she wants to pimp Kaitlin out just like she did Alana.”
Some viewers even accused Shannon of wanting to keep the “money train” going. A fan even explained that if she kept Kaitlyn, she would end up getting funds from the channel. The state would also help for the same.
Hence, they believe that the matriarch is battling Michael to get legal rights over her granddaughter just for the sake of some dollars! Keep coming back to TV Season & Spoilers for the latest Mama June tea.
