WETV: ALANA
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.

Alana Thompson and her mother, June, always had a strained relationship. Their appearance on their shows led critics to question why Shannon used her younger daughter to make money. Throughout Alana’s career from Toddlers and Tiaras, Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, to Mama June: Family Crisis, the young girl faced multiple outbursts from her mom.
Viewers constantly observed how exploitation went on within the family, causing them to bash June. She took doubtful decisions for her girls and herself that put their dynamic under scrutiny. It’s been over a decade since the family members documented their lives and relationships for WeTV. Two years ago, they faced the worst tragedy since her older daughter Anna passed away at the age of 29 after battling with cancer.

In a recent interview with People, she shared where she is in life and opened up about the times when June was drug-addicted. The former child artist revealed her past state and that of her older sisters.
