June also insists that Alana has $200,000 in a separate account that she "refuses to touch", which I guess is where THAT rumor got started. Hint: If JUNE said it, consider it a lie. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-13289993/Mama-June-reveals-spent-daughter-Alana-Thompson-money.html

So..June is going to get the weight loss shot. She ought to talk to Tracy Morgan, who managed to outeat the Ozempic and gain weight. https://people.com/mama-june-shannon-reveals-she-s-starting-weight-loss-injections-8634571 Nice to know that she has money for these shots but not to pay for her kids to go to college. OH, and she says she put on weight because of t5he stress of caring for her dying daughter Anna. As if she wasn't grotesquely overweight again before Anna came back into the picture.

At this point it would be great if Pumpkin and Alana made any future seasons contingent on June being completely excluded from the show, making sure she gets nothing, no money at all from any new season. Change the name of the show, but cut June off.

I'm watching Pumpkin do all the forensic accounting on Alana's behalf and it occurred to me that she would probably be really good as an investigator of some sort. She is also good at telling when people are lying. I hope she considers that as a career down the road. I wish they hadn't bleeped out and obscured all the dollar amounts that Alana had earned for her TV gigs, it would have been enlightening for the audience. I know Pumpkin said June took $35,000, but I wanted to see what Alana was earning from these projects. Justin needs to walk away yesterday. The minute June said "You're going to need me way before I need you" is when he should have quit and walked out. I wonder if he's working. I hope he lines something up, if he hasn't already, that will enable him to free himself and go live elsewhere. I just remembered reading years ago, during the "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" days, June telling some media outlets that she was putting away money for her kids and protecting their futures and I thought at the time, "Wow, she's more on the ball and responsible than I thought." Guess I was wrong. Alana really shoiuld get a forensic accountant to go after *June's* financial records and see where that money went. But if June met the bare minimum legal requirements of what was expected of her, would Alana even be able to successfully sue her?

I just finished watching the most recent episode. I think there is a misconception here that Alana somehow has secret funds she isn't using. What was said on the show was that Alana isn't using money that June stole, obviously she can't, it's gone. It was clumsily worded, but that is what was said. I don't think she is trying to grift anyone, she needs to pay for school. That June has $30K in her bank account, and likely much more than that, after all her drug use, after having to sell her house at a steep discount, is appalling and very telling. A great percentage of that is money that should have gone to her kids. WeTV can advertise Love After Lockup as much as they want to during airings of this show, it still doesn't interest me and I am never going to watch it. As an aside, the other day I was reading a Daily Mail article on this show and one of the commenters said that Alana has lost 70 lbs while at college. I don't know where that came from, I looked around and couldn't find anything on it, maybe she mentioned it on one of her social media accounts. In any case, I hope it is true that she has lost some weight and hopefully she has adopted healthier habits while in Colorado. While she's there she should try to go over to the John Denver Sanctuary in Aspen, I hear it is beautiful and very peaceful and worth seeing.

When did she say that? On social media? I didn't see that in the episodes. Unless she has trusts that Pumpkin set up which she legally can't touch because she is underage?

Yes, but she is still in college and I doubt the money situation has changed, I wouldn't call this grift. She needs money to go to college.

Alana can't pay for college and June has interview quotes out there saying that she burned through probably $1,000,000 on her addiction. I hope Justin dumps her.

They did do this in a previous season, once she got custody, but the damage was already done.

Yes, but my point was that Alana did her part, and continues to, in "investing in herself" as June ignorantly said she should be doing. The scholarship, partial or not, is substantial proof that she IS. I'm watching the most recent episode now and WOW. pumpkin and Alana need to get a forensic accountant to tackle this. June, you are officially busted.

Seems to me that Alana's best bet would be to strike a deal with We TV if possible, since she is their cash cow (so to speak), to pay her tuition upfront and she can pay them back out of her Coogan account when she turns 21. She is 18, she could sign off on that herself. Just a thought. And Pumpkin, keep both hands on the wheel, or at least ONE hand on the wheel, when driving. That bugged me. June keeps saying Alana needs to invest in herself. Well, idiot, Alana landed herself a $21,000 scholarship. She had to work hard to keep her grades up to land that. WTF would you call that if not investing in herself?

Man, I hope Alana has some money left from her reality shows. I also hope she can get a workstudy scholarship to help with school.

WELL! I thought it was out of character for DoeDoe to miss the graduation. NOW, as Paul Harvey used to say, we have the REST of the story. Go DoeDoe, go, June deserved that rant. But I wonder why Alana didn't give DoeDoe the ceremony date once she had it. It couldn't have been decided THAT last minute.

I think Alana has taken some weight off. None of them are ever going to be thin, Pumpkin still has at least an extra 45 pounds on her, Alana probably needs to lose at least 70. But Alana's face is a bit less bloated than in the past.

I'm sure Alana knows, she is on social media. She luckily is strong enough to tell off people who aren't part of her life and move on.

I replied on the last thread because I had no idea a new thread had been created.

Pumpkin 's family has a nice new house with a pool, (which needs a fence around it, hello, toddlers in the house!) they say they paid for it, which seems beyond their means, but what do I know. Ella is becoming really pudgy, which is a shame. As smart as Pumpkin is, she should be trying to nip this in the bud. I'm surprised that Doe Doe let Alana down with the graduation. She's been one of the few adults Alana could count on.

Watching the "Reality Sets In " episode and I wonder if a gap year would have been a good idea for Alana. Some kids really aren't ready for college when they graduate high school and forcing them to go right away can result in them not taking school seriously once they get there. Alana is apparently at college now, so I hope she's doing well there.

I had no idea the show was back on! Have to catch up!

Anna has died. https://pagesix.com/2023/12/10/entertainment/mama-junes-daughter-anna-chickadee-cardwell-dead-at-29-following-cancer-battle/

I wonder what will happen when Dr. Now decides he wants to retire. Could they bring in another doctor to take over his practice and the show? I am kind of hooked on this program.

Oh Lawdie. No-account Schenee is going to try to raise a person. Womp-bomp-a-loo-bomp-a-womp-bam-NOPE.

Trying to watch this one now, but her sad sack woe is me-ism is so annoying I can't stand her voice. You lost all that weight without surgery and not immediately getting the surgery is going to make you overlook that and say all hope is lost? Cripes. She just doesn't come across as someone who is particularly intelligent, which I suppose is why she apparently didn't argue about the feeding tube or tell these ER docs that she was stupidly starving herself. I can't finish this. She is just too annoying.

OMG, this is on right now. I caught it about 30 minutes in. She is hella stupid, LOL!
