Mama June: From Not To Hot: Seasons 1-6

[SunnyBeBe]

Does anyone know if that house she lives in is hers or in a trust for Alana?  If she can, I bet she'll try to sell it.

Hopefully someone is paying the property taxes and mortgage if there is a mortgage.

I wonder how much cash she has readily available? 

Not much. She's selling everything.

That's right she is. Ugh. I wonder how much of her money went to drugs?

Wasn't she putting money away for Alana's future? Did she get to that too? Or is that in some kind of trust? I don't follow them that closely.

Alana's money was moved to a protected fund that is strictly monitored. Pumpkin has to provide receipts for everything she withdraws and all withdrawals have to be directly related to Alana's care.  June has zero access to it.

That explains why June’s selling all of her belongings, she can’t steal Alana’s money anymore. I’m wondering if the house is a prop provided by production for filming, much the way all the Chrisley homes were.

I counted at least 3 things in that slideshow that belong to Alana.  The backpack has her monogram on it, for pete’s sake.

June has never cared for her kids, why would she start now?

I wonder if that's what caused all the hard feeling between June & her mom....didn't Anna go to live with June's mother after the bf molested her.

[newyawk]

I don't believe that June never cared for her kids. The way she fought for Alana in the lawyer's office when Sugar Bear and Jennifer were looking into more custodial/visitation rights showed that she did at one point care about at least one of them, and also when she made sure she was at the hospital when or immediately after Pumpkin had her baby.  I do believe that June never really learned how to be a mother and regards her kids as her friends. Maybe that's why it was easier for her to prioritize Geno over them.  The drugs, of course, play a big part in that,

Honestly she probably fought that hard to save the money train. If she cared that much about her she wouldn’t have had her around a pedo. I do agree to an extent about not learning how to be a mother but some of this is just common sense on what not to do.

[newyawk]

I disagree.

June’s neighbors tired of the trash

[Armchair Critic]

When they moved in I felt bad for their neighbors, I figured HBB and family would be slobs and having tv crews there would be a problem. But I really didn't think it would be that bad.

It was all about the money. Alana’s isn’t up for grabs anymore.

[newyawk]

It wasn't about the money.  The whole point being made in the lawyer's office was that Sugar Bear kept letting Alana down, which Alana confirmed, and June didn't want to give him more of a chance to do that. It had nothing to do with child support unless that was what was motivating SB and Jennifer.

Who's driving the RV?! He doesn't have a driver's license and she's basically blind.

Preview: "This season on Mama June: From Hot to Not"

[CrazyInAlabama]

I'm happy for June's former neighbors. 

 I really wonder how Geno will be driving, with a pending court case for both of them, and neither apparently has a driver's license.  I know June has never had a license, since she's legally blind, but Geno can't possibly still have a license can he?

The reason June’s oldest daughter won’t have anything to do with her is because the money she earned during the first season she was on TV with the family was hijacked by June. And Alana’s money was in June’s control all along until common sense and Pumpkin stepped in and had an attorney lock it up away from June.

I'd say that's one of the reasons, but the main one is June dated Anna's abuser.  After knowing what he did to Anna.  

[Major Bigtime]

And I remember the photos of that same abuser in the hotel room with June and Alana when they were at the casino in Cherokee, NC. Poodle was really pissed off about that. You don’t see him on the show anymore either.

She looks a little heavier to me.  That makes me sad.

[Armchair Critic]

From the pictures here it looks like Pumpkin, Josh, Jessica, and Alana all have gained weight. ACK is that Gina the manager? Nobody wants to see her that close up.

[Major Bigtime]

They all need to lose weight, before lifelong and dangerous health issues develop.

[Armchair Critic]

From TMZ - Mama June was living in such squalor before fleeing her house, it had to be totally gutted by the new owner. Our sources say a family with 4 children is getting ready to move into the house, and it was so filthy they've decided to rip it up and start all over..... and we've got pics of the shocking conditions

https://www.tmz.com/2019/08/31/mama-june-house-inside-demolition-trash-photos/

[PrincessPurrsALot]

While I don't doubt that MJ and Geno did a number on the house, those photos don't show it's "shocking condition". They show a house being renovated.  So, to my mind, they show nothing meaningful. 

[Guest]

Yeah, those pics are a real nothing-burger. My question is -- how is someone already renovating this place and planning to move in when June and Geno just moved out? There's no way she owned that house. 

[druzy]

I read somewhere that the house is under a "Honey Boo Boo" corporate name. 

[Armchair Critic]

I wouldn't want to sit on the same toilet or use the same shower or walk barefoot on the same carpeting so I would want to rip it up and replace too.

According to the 'HBB's 14th birthday' article linked above, she did own the house :

Back in 2015, the reality star purchased the 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom, 3,225 sq. ft. home in Hampton, Georgia for $149,000

Really, it might have already been a mess if it was priced that low 4 years ago.

I knew the pictures didn't show much but I liked the dramatic way TMZ described them living in squalor. I noticed TMZ gets a lot of comments (many of them garbage) on their Mama June stories so they like to play it up and I admit I do get a kick out of it.

That’s not supposed to be a before and after, right? Her body is exactly the same, just posed differently. She even has the same lumps in her ponytail. Maybe this is just the “after”? 

I like Pumpkin better than most of her family and associates, but this is not her best moment. 

[Armchair Critic]

Pumpkin is only 19. She is already starting to look like her mother. This family will do anything to avoid actually working so of course she is hawking this snake oil.

[ShaNaeNae]

It's sad that girls like Pumpkin and Nicole from 90DF are pimping this "magic formula".  No one is going to lose as much as they need to in a tea or shots or anything.  Eat right, work out and keep your carbs low.  And FFS, knock off the cheese puffs and processed shit.

Felony Charges for Mama June

Somehow I don't think this show will be returning any time soon. Poor kids.

TMZ has video on their site of a camera crew filming her sister outside of the courthouse. So, unless the show is going to be called, "Let's All Care About Dodo," We TV continues to be happy  filling the coffers of this amoral shitbag. 

From what was claimed in the video, there's a hearing set for October 15th and they were unable to serve June because she no longer lived at the address on record. 

[CrazyInAlabama]

Trust me, if she's still on bail, or filming for TV, a skip tracer can certainly find her.   Actually, just calling TMZ would probably show where she actually is.  

I wouldn't put it past WE TV to still film this.

[newyawk]

I hope they do have a new show with Pumpkin and Alana. Those girls can use all the help they can get. 

But June should be completely cut off from reality show money.

[Major Bigtime]

I hope and pray never to see any members of this family on TV again. Exploited doesn’t even begin to cover what has happened to Alana. She deserves a normal life, going to school and hanging out with friends at football games, etc.

June can go sink and drown in a swamp full of alligators for all I care. She has put her needs and wants first, no matter if it harmed her children. Police can probably find her at the closest casino or crack house.

[newyawk]

Can you really call it exploitation if the person in question actively enjoys being in the spotlight, as Alana does and always has? I don't think so.

It was her mother’s idea to put her in pageants and on TV. Alana has never known a “normal” life. All she knows is to pose, smile, do what production crews tell her to do. Yes, I truly believe she’s been exploited for money that June has gone through for years.

If Alana were an adult, I'd agree with you. But she's a child, and she's not responsible for the poor decisions her mother has made.

If it's a child, yes, it is exploitation.  She doesn't know any better, it's all she knows.  It's gone on so long that I think of she has a normal life, she won't know how to adjust to just acting like a normal kid and letting others have attention.
