Honey Boo Boo, aka Alana Thompson, first came in the limelight via TLC. Everyone was intrigued by this little beauty pageant princess and her family. Owing to this, they continued to star in various reality shows even after their family dynamics changed. It was shocking when Mama June parted ways with her partner, Sugar Bear.
He is Alana’s father and the stepfather to her sisters. Things deteriorated in their household a lot as both June and Sugar Bear fell prey to drug addiction. Alana’s elder sister took to her social media to take a dig at her stepdad for not being able to fulfill his responsibilities.
Mama June: Pumpkin Teams Up With Alana To Shame Sugar Bear!
The family from Mama June was already familiar with the reality TV world when they made their debut on the show. It was because of Honey Boo Boo’s show on TLC, capturing her child beauty pageant adventures. That’s when fans got familiar with her mom, June Shannon, and father, Sugar Bear.
While the couple was together at that point, the former already had 3 daughters from a previous marriage. Alas, June and Sugar Bear also didn’t work out, and they had to part ways. But trouble came knocking at her door when she had none of her parents to take care of her.
After all, both have a history of being drug addicts. Hence, Alana’s elder sister, Pumpkin, had to step up. The former’s parents gave up their rights so that the latter could have custody of her sister.
Mama June fans must know how Pumpkin is already a mother to four kids. Despite this, she took Alana in during such a difficult time. Owing to this, she made a fun video on TikTok with her. They were taking a dig at Sugar Bear for being an absent parent.
The caption for the same said, “Her Dad’s a POS (piece of sh*t), so I’ll be the pappy.” Viewers were quite amused and praised the sisters for speaking their truth in a fun way. They were glad Alana had an elder sister to take care of her while both her parents fell short of their parental duties.
Mama June: Where Is Sugar Bear? Ran Away From Rehab?
Mama June has mostly focussed on Shannon’s redemption arc. Long-time fans know how she went off the rails, started to party a little too much, and lost her way. Hence, the latest seasons of the show have been all about her making amends with her daughter and getting better.
Alas, that hasn’t been the case with her ex, Sugar Bear. Since his split, fans have remained curious about his whereabouts and know little to nothing about him. But this year, something shocking happened. Sugar Bear contacted former NBA celeb Lamar Odom to get himself checked into a rehab.
The sportsperson runs one in Kansas. However, when it was time for the reality TV star to go and get himself checked, Mike Thompson apparently ran away. Since this news report, there have been no updates about the same.
Even Alana had admitted not being in touch with her father for almost a year before the news about the rehab fiasco. Keep coming back to TV Season & Spoilers for all the latest Mama June updates.
