The reality series “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo” took the world by storm in 2012, after the series’ main character, Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson (15) had had great success in the miss program “Toddlers & Tiaras”.
In 2014, however, it said stop, and it has since gone downhill for several of the series’ members. Especially the matriarch, June Shannon (41), has been through some tough years.
The TV star is unrecognizable
She goes by the nickname “Mama June”, but the role as a mother has in recent years been overshadowed by something completely different. In March 2019, she was arrested for drug possession, which made headlines worldwide.
In the last year, she has opened up about the wild and serious drug abuse, and now she admits how much it actually cost her.
– So much money
She does this in an interview with Access Hollywood this week, where Mama June can reveal that she and her boyfriend Eugene Edward Doak spent almost one million dollars, 8.4 million Norwegian kroner, on drugs when it was at its worst.
– The last year of our addiction, I would guess we spent a good 900,000 dollars. So much money was sent to our doplanger, she says openly.

She also admits that at one point she waited for 125,000 to be transferred from her account to rush one last time, but that the transfer was too slow.
Then she decided to check in at a rehabilitation clinic.
– I checked in for rehab with 14 kroner in my name, and I came out with nothing.
This is how it went with “Honey Boo Boo”
Located in the family
The reality star, who has now been drug-free for 14 months, also reveals that she has had to reinvent old arts to make money, as a result of her series “Mama June: Road to Redemption” being suspended pandemic.
