Alana Thompson, aka Honey Boo Boo, finally broke the curse of “Mama June: Family Crisis,” but fans aren’t sure if the issues are over. Some scripts have called her family dysfunctional over the years. She herself started her television journey from Toddlers in Tiaras as a little pageant star. Just like other child artists, she struggled with fame.
However, Alana matured enough to understand that her dear mother slowly spiraled into drugs, making the family lose its reputation. She grew up as a controversial reality TV star who modeled until she was a teen. But Shannon paid the price for her alleged partner and their drug possession. “Mama June: From Not to Hot” didn’t successfully show her weight loss journey, which she wanted to.
