'Mama June From Not to Hot'
The Big Picture During the mid-2000s, there was a gaggle of reality personalities that became recognizable in pop culture because of their outrageous personalities or circumstances. Mama June and her family skyrocketed to cynical fame after her 6-year-old daughter Alana Thompson aka Honey Boo Boo became the breakout star on TLC's Toddlers and Tiaras.
Honey Boo Charmed Viewers With Her Sassy Attitude As Honey Boo Boo continued getting older and lost some of her childlike appeal, it was clear the beauty pageant world was no longer a fit for her. Aside from Alana quickly aging out of the cute chubby kid role and into the overweight and unpredictable teenager, there was a sexual assault allegation that forced the network to abandon the show prematurely.
Mama June's Addiction Has Been Long-Documented Even with the negativity received from the child molestation allegations, the Thompson family left enough of a mark on fans that a new group of producers worked to find a way to resurrect the fans on a new network. By this time, June had finally come to terms with the fact that her obesity was dangerous and if she wanted to be around for her family she needed to do something about it.
Mama June Has a Major Family Crisis Through all their hardships, June seemed resigned to moving forward with the show even though the family bond had been broken numerous times. The show's title has been changed to Mama June: Family Crisis and displays the aftermath of the family's continued painful reality. Alana's older sister, Pumpkin, was granted full legal custody of her and their relationship with their mother remains strained.
