Mama June star Alana Thompson just dropped a bombshell on TLC for taking away her spinoff “Honey Boo Boo” from her. She grew up on the Toddlers & Tiaras set, where the pageant days made her more famous than ever. Shannon received praise for becoming a true guide to her younger daughter.
Nothing has stayed the same for the family of five since June broke her marriage with Alana’s dad, Mike. She later found partners who faced conviction. Meanwhile, she turned into a permanent drug addict, which shattered the lives of her children. Alana was mainly affected by the change in behavior of her dearest mama, who proved that she used her as a bankroll. What reason did Alana give for Honey Boo Boo’s cancelation?
Mama June: Alana Shares The Amount Of Money She Made From Television!
Alana Thompson was a household name a few years ago through her back-to-back shows. While she still has the same fame, she also has a bad reputation due to June’s mishandling of her. Regardless, as a career in reality TV means substantial wealth, it wasn’t the case with Alana. She revealed that she hasn’t seen much of her fortune.
Gaining television stardom itself has satisfied Alana, but she wanted to know why Here Comes Honey Boo Boo and Toddlers & Tiaras didn’t pay her. The former child artist had no answer to what happened to the money she was supposed to get. Though the first show paid her half, the other one didn’t give her a dime. Moreover, she shared that Shannon stole $35,000 from her Coogan account, which she received from Dancing With The Stars.
Mama June: Alana Sheds Light On Losing “Honey Boo Boo” As A Child!
Alana Thompson recently gave an interview to an UsWeekly interview on May 26, 2025 to discuss her new Lifetime biopic “I Was Honey Boo Boo.” The interviewer asked how a lot of things changed for her after TLC canceled “Honey Boo Boo.” She explained that her life got flipped suddenly since she didn’t expect the cameras to roll again.
Alana understood the impact of losing the spinoff late after she stopped filming new episodes. She said that she used to come in front of the cameras almost every day. However, her job was snatched from her when she was too young to comprehend. She thought the show’s views must have dropped.
Fans know who is to blame for Honey Boo Boo’s cancellation. While Alana didn’t mention the exact reason behind it, TLC announced that June’s involvement with sex offenders caused the network to stop airing the show. Some sources informed them about this.
Alana tried to appease June as long as she could. Her upcoming movie promises to give a more or less in-depth history of what happened in her past. She has put forth the anecdote for the world to see. Though June is highly disappointed with her girl showing everyone who she was, Alana said she can’t do much about it.
