Lauryn Pumpkin Efird first came into the limelight when she starred in her sister’s show, “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo.” Then, their mother, Mama June, got a deal to star in a show of her own with the rest of the family. Apparently, their mother’s downfall made the fans realize that Pumpkin is the only functioning adult in the family. She even has Honey Boo Boo’s custody after the charges against their mother, June. But more often than not, Pumpkin also gets exposed to a lot of hate. For instance, she was recently in trouble for a mishap inside her card involving one of her kids.
Mama June: Pumpkin Faces The Heat For Making Her Child Sit Incorrectly In The Car!
Pumpkin Shannon earned a reputation for herself for being quite responsible in Mama June. It happened when she and Alana’s mother, June, went on a downward spiral. She ditched all her responsibilities as a parent and got exposed to the world of drugs. Since then, Pumpkin has come to the rescue and became the legal guardian of the 17-year-old Honey Boo Boo. Apart from her, Pumpkin is also a mom to four kids. She welcomed twins last year. But despite having such a reputation, she was in deep waters. It happened when she filmed a video for her social media.
The Mama June star was sitting in the driving seat. Behind her was one of her kids. As the star danced to the Rihanna song, “B***h Better Have My Money”, her child was sitting in a front-facing kids seat. Fans took to the comments section to say that it is illegal in some states to make children seated in a front-facing manner in a car. Others agreed that Pumpkin put her baby’s life at risk with this mistake. So far, the castmate has not yet responded to this backlash. Fans were worried for her kids and urged her to take better care of them.
Pumpkin got a whiff of all the negative comments. So, she disabled them on her social media post. Fans again shamed her for ignoring their remarks when they were merely trying to tell the mother to be more careful with her kids. Critics continued to say that infant car seats should never be front facing.
Mama June: Pumpkin Offers Parenting Advice To Fans For $15?
Even if Pumpkin became the fan favorite from Mama June, fans still find some of her antics problematic. After having full custody of her younger sister, Honey Boo Boo, fans still think there is something fishy going on in the family. For instance, a post on Lauryn’s social media gave viewers the impression that the family is in a financial crunch. Many have started to believe that the castmate is now looking for ways to make quick and easy money. Around February 2023, she shared a link with her avid followers. Pumpkin told her fans to click on the link if they wanted to “snag” quite a good deal for themselves.
Apparently, the link opened a website by the name of “fanbasis”. The celebrity intended to charge stuff from her fans to do things for them. The former young celebrity offered to give parental advice to her followers and also other “digital experiences.” She wanted to charge them $15 for the same. Fans resorted to thinking that the family must be going through intense financial trouble as Lauryn was trying to make money by such cheap antics. What do you feel about this?
