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?

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.
