Have you ever watched the Honey Boo Boo show on TLC? I have. It turns out that the mom, June Shannon, has a criminal record. She was arrested for theft and contempt of court. Apparently the contempt charges have to do with child support, and possibly the theft charges too. In case you have not notice, her oldest daughter, Anna, who lucked out in the lottery genes department, looks nothing like June or Sugar Bear so is probably the daughter of June and another man. June would have been about 16 when she gave birth to Anna who is now 17. June probably owed child support to the father and didn't pay and ended up being arrested. Give it a few weeks and someone will dig it all out.

Honey Boo Boo's Mom Has A Criminal Record
Have you ever watched the Honey Boo Boo show on TLC? I have. It turns out that the mom, June Shannon, has a criminal record. She was arrested for theft and contempt of court.

Shamefully, I watched a few episodes of this last night. She said she'd only been with 'sugar bear' eight years and Alana's his only kid. I highly doubt anyone will be shocked by that woman having a criminal record. She went to the redneck games and her daughter bobbed for raw pigs feet!!!
ReplyDeleteSay it ain't so!!!
ReplyDeleteHoney boo-boo is doomed to get her mom's face. And her mom's face looks like a foot.
ReplyDeleteI hate seeing these parents living through their kids. That Honey boo boo is a monster.
But does it look like "forklift foot"? Hanging my head in shame that I know.her foot was run over and mangled.and that's what she calls it
DeleteLord have mercy!
ReplyDeleteI mean an ego-monster, attention-monster--NOT montrous-looking.
ReplyDeleteYet. Poor kid!
Honey Boo Boo?? Really???! This is even worse than that other name you posted on here, can't remember what it was now but there was a post the other day about how him and his wife were separating for the millionth time. I remember he had a stupid name too though.
ReplyDeleteSHE owed him child support????? Imma corn- fused!! And man, she looks honey boo boo cranky!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteShe looks so happy.
ReplyDeleteLaLa - I was coming to post the same thing, I think all the girls have different fathers, so it could have been for any of them. Sadly, I like this show, it's like a train wreck that you just can't look away from. And for those of you that say its contributing to the "dumbing down of America", I agree with you...but I'm Canadian, lol!
ReplyDeleteAlso, on The Soup the other day, Joel McHale called her a "talking thumb" and that's all I see now when I look at her!
ReplyDeleteShe looks mentally ill to to me.
ReplyDeleteI came to say the same as LaLa and LA Mac, all 3 have different fathers. She had the oldest at 15, the pregnant middle one is 15, too.
ReplyDeleteShocking. Just shocking. ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat I don't get is how kids don't learn from their parents' mistakes. If you see your mother having a miserable life because she got pregnant young, why get knocked up yourself at 15?
ReplyDeleteThis is an obvious question, I know, with the answer being: Cuz she dum.
@figs - you live what you know, and apparently this poor child (the 15 yr old) knows about getting knocked up and careening through life from pillar to post. You have a sense that something is screwed up, but you can't begin to put your finger on it or change it when you're a child of dysfunction.
ReplyDeleteHell, it took me 35 good years to really understand the dynamic I grew up with and how it affected me. I started turning the ship around in my 20's, but I didn't really GET IT until much later.
Enty, please STOP writing about these morons. You are giving them more publicity and they don't deserve an ounce of it. Stop, please stop w/ these posts about idiots acting stupid. It does NOTHING for our society except perpetuate stupidity.
ReplyDeleteHow the Frick did these people get their own tv show? Have we really reached that far down in our search for entertainment?? I happened upon this last night, and watched a few minutes, only out of morbid curiosity.
ReplyDeleteOMG that is 10 minutes of my life that I will never get back. Forklift foot? The best part was the woman from the spa who commenting about her interaction with this group, stated "It was a good experience...well an experience"
Redheat---At first I read your comment as saying '...out of morbid OBESITY...'
ReplyDeleteFreudian reading!
You're kidding! Lmaorofl. Where else would Momma pick up all the jail jargon. Child, please!
ReplyDeleteWhite trash, the end.
ReplyDeleteBtw - the title is Pure Gold! There are so many possibilities - it could be the title of one of those "Dumbest This or That" shows, or we could even network hop and use it as a Snapped! spinoff title, and please dont forget to shop it with hoodrat tv - VH1! Lol
ReplyDeletefiggy - there is a book called An Adult Child's Guide to Normal that helps explain how it happens. Like Frucra says, it's not entirely the kids fault. It's so hard for children to break free from dysfunction even if they have the mental capacity to do so. They all need our help and support.
ReplyDeleteAgree with Agent! This show is pure exploitation. It's like putting downs syndrome people on TV and laughing. Anything for ratings. Movies do the same. Humanity should be in a better place by now. There is plenty of quality entertainment taking a back seat or being pushed aside for this trash pandering to the lowest common denominator.
I obviously need more coffee. And bacon!
I always wondered where they find the families for the Jerry Springer show and now I wonder no more:) Anyways, I caught the first two episodes and I love them! It takes all kinds!!!
ReplyDelete@libby, her face does look like a foot!
ReplyDeleteThe girls at work (both 20 yo) made me watch this yesterday. They were giggling away and my mouth just hung open. For like 10 minutes! Open to the floor!
TLC has to subtitle this damn show bc they aren't speaking any known language. Honey Boo Boo indeed. I have never been so horrified!
Where is Agent**It!? I'm convinced shows like Honey Boo Boo and the lot are part of a huge pllot to take over the US. Over generations we slowly become dumber and dumber then the Chinese just take over. We won't even fight back!
It will be Red Dawn for real!
DeleteSmash! I LOVE the original Red Dawn. I hope the new version doesn't let me down. Patrick Swayze was SO sexy in that film!
DeleteSwazye was the man! Charlie Sheen was also great in that movie!
DeleteIt will be terrible like all the movies they try to remake.
Besides the new planet of the apes! James Franco is hot hot hot, I cried literally 3/4 of that movie. Haha.
Charlie when he was still sexy and mostly sober! How could I forget him?
DeleteI missed the Franco redux of Planet. Did it already come out? I'm confused? My brain got too much sleep and processing slowly....
Stupid show. Could only watch 10 mins of this show ... couldn't stomach how stupid they acted ... feel sorry for all Americans that have to deal with this kind of stupid TV.
ReplyDeleteHer entire face (chins included) is absolutely revolting. I'm not even hungry anymore.
ReplyDeleteAnd she has some kind of wit about her! she didnt' let the kids swim in the lake where there were warning signs posted about Flesh eating bacteria! Gotta keep them healthy for the pagaents!!
ReplyDelete@Diane - it's super-easy - just don't watch it!! The on/off switch and the channel up and down buttons are very empowering. Ya just flip over to SpongeBob and break the knob off!
ReplyDeleteI think the pregnant one is actually 17. She's a mature 17.
ReplyDeleteFrufra, kiddos make it off to school OK? That seems mean to make them start before Labor Day, but better for you I guess! You can have spa day until they get home!!!
ReplyDeleteI try to not snark on peoples physical appearances, but this lady looks like Jabba the Hut come to life. Ive never seen this show but just reading Michael K's write up on it the other day, i was cracking up.
ReplyDeleteCarebear! She even calls herself Jabba the Hut, but she can't remember how to say it and keeps saying it wrong. Oh my! It's just a travesty. Is this Georgia's future????
DeleteMy sis and niece live in the middle of GA now. I want to send in the evac squad, stat!
I find the show highly entertaining and look forward to really getting to know this charming and lovely family.
ReplyDeleteKeep posting, Enty Êš(ˆ◡ˆ)Éž
You all missed the really important and most obvious question of all...how in the hell did she get at least 2 guys and possibly 4 to have sex with her??!! This, I do not get.
ReplyDeleteLOLLLLLLL "and possibly four"
DeleteWas thinking same thing!!!!!! If youre dateless, and you look spiffier than her, go on down to ga and i bet u get a date!!
Delete@dia - yes, thanks. They are thankfully too big to cry and get hysterical now - 5th and 8th grades. We are in the best school district ever, and they are very comfortable at their schools, so I have no worries.
ReplyDeleteThey are such cool people that I miss them terribly at first, though. But I tend to adjust and get busy pretty quickly :-). And they get a four-day weekend for Labor Day, so it's all good.
Now I can give my poor neglected puppies some attention - they're waiting patiently to be walked!
@patty, seriously! I'm also shocked they found her vag, its probably lost down there between all the folds of fat!
ReplyDeleteAfter the Gosselins, haven't we had enough of children being exploited for reality TV?
ReplyDeleteKeep in mind that most of these shows films in states with almost no child labor laws so they work long hours, no on-set independent monitors, and no requirement that any of the money is put away for the kids.
I think watching this kind of thing only contributes to the popularity of the show, there has to be a line drawn at some point. Anyone watched Videodrome?
ReplyDeleteShe's not even Jabba The Hut she's Pizza The Hut and she's going to eat herself to death.
ReplyDeleteLOL@ katsm0711 - I dont' know she/they really like the cheeseballs though.....
ReplyDeleteStill better than Jersey Shore. At least they love each other and have a goal they want to reach, albeit a jacked up one.
ReplyDeleteI really dislike the 12 year old. And I feel bad for the daddy, ge lives in the middle of a circus.
ReplyDeleteIs it really 'The Learning Channel' if all I'm learning is what not to be?
ReplyDeleteHow animals act in their natural habitat.
Delete@Katsm-Great line! My first thought too was who wants to do it with this woman. Oh my eyes just thinking about it. Maybe she was leaning over a table eating dinner when it happened. I find it hard to believe she'd stop eating to get all jiggy wit it.
ReplyDeleteI can't with this people!
ReplyDeletejer best line when talking about the large girls at the redneck festival in their bikinkis "all that vajiggle jaggle is just not beautimous"..........seriously?
ReplyDeleteCriminal records aren't always indicative of bad people. She seems like a nice enough person and mother.
ReplyDeleteOK...I watch the show as they make me laugh. But IF you watch the show, you will realize that we are, in fact, laughing WITH them, not AT them.
ReplyDeleteThey are actually pretty funny, self-depracating, and unapologic. They really don't care what people think, but I do have this to say about them:
1.) Sugar Bear works 7 days a week to support his family
2.) They do seem to all care for and love one another and support one another
3.) They LAUGH....a LOT!!!
4.) They have their daughter, at least Alana, working hard to acheive success at something she quite obviously enjoys
5.) Alana isn't a quitter...she may lose a lot, cry a few tears, but gosh darn it...she gets right back out there and keeps on trying! (I have actually seen a HUGE improvement in her since the beginning, so she really is trying to get somewhere)
6.) Their house looks fairly clean and well organized
7.) The mom works hard to keep their finances straight and to stretch a buck-she and her husband do this to sacrifice for their kids so they can have things they want
8.) The daughter is knocked up and everyone trashes her-yeah, she made a stupid mistake-but her family is there to support her...where is the DADDY???
9.) Watching this show makes me laugh, feel a little smarter, and also reminds me that I sometimes get a bit too hung up on being "perfect" and thinking what others think of me
And last but not least....
10.) I think it is completely hysterical that Honey Boo Boo gets her own show while the great "Eden Wood" and her monster of a stage mother are trapsing all over L.A. trying to find fame for her daughter! I'd love to be a fly on the wall when Mrs. Wood found out that Honey Boo Boo got her own show!!!! LOL!!!!
Thank you for pointing out the positives, Ice Angel. I watched the first 2 episodes and while, yes, I am kind of mortified, I was also impressed by how much of a genuine family they are.
DeleteWait......is "Honey Boo Boo" a nickname or did someone really name their kid that?
ReplyDeleteObvs, I don't watch this show.
I agree with you Ice Angel. They embrace their faults and love each other. It is over the top and the producers leave things in, like June the mother sneezing, that would normally be edited out. They aren't hurting anyone or taking advantage of anyone, unlike the Kartrashians and their bogus endorsements. I dont know if the show will last but I like them.
ReplyDeleteYeah Ice Angel, THANKS for listing the good stuff about this show/family.
ReplyDeleteAnd GREAT point about how funny (and awesome) it is that Honey Boo Boo got her own show while the perfection that is the blonde tiny angel of Eden Wood and her crazy mother are off god knows where. If that aint enough to make you root for the underdog I dont know what will.
Btw- for those of you who quickly turned this into a fat-frenzy joke a thon while poking fun at her back woods lifestyle, it's very amusing to watch you demean a woman for the very things you're exhibiting. Talk about trashy.
@Hot-no...her real name is Alana, but her nickname is Honey Boo Boo Child...
ReplyDelete@Thisknow...time for a "Our Turn" as I would love to hear from everyone if, given the choice, they would rather spend the weekend with these folks or the Kardashians...
I know I'd for sure pick a weekend with the Honey Boo Boos...it would be a weekend I would never forget!
And if I had to spend a weekend with the K's, I'd have to shoot myself!
@dia - yes, sometimes I've thought this is the deliberate dumbing down of America. I understand why the people in these shows do it, I don't understand why the networks do it - just the money, I guess.
ReplyDeleteWho would I rather spend a weekend with? If the choice is these two, I'd pick a weekend in woman's prison instead.
I have to agree with Ice Angel and the others who see the good in these folks. Yes, they're a trainwreck, but other than their nutritional choices -- !!! -- they're a pretty happy and loving bunch. I'd rather watch them than the Ks, that's for sure.
ReplyDelete@Susan....hahahahaha!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love that Alana claps for the other girls in the Toddlers & Tiaras competitions. She is genuinely happy for them. Very rare to see on that show.
ReplyDeleteThe family is growing on me.
I'd pick the Trashians for sure... I may get some free clothes or even shoes from that big one, Khloe. I posted about this show on FB the other day. This shit is a disgusting look into a disgusting family. Subtitles for English??? Give me a break! Hillbillies.
ReplyDeleteI know the rules of the internet mean I have to pick one thing over the other but you can hate both the Kardashians and this family.
ReplyDeleteThese people are ill-mannered and stupid. English is their first and only language and they can't speak it properly.
What makes me sad are the excuses made for them. They're happy or they're loving, etc. That's great and all but are we not nearing a point where we're just going to throw all social norms out the window and say, "just be yourselves, your behaviour doesn't matter anymore." This culture of "I'm being myself and I don't care what anyone thinks" will be society's downfall. Manners and common sense will no longer matter and there will be no differentiating us from apes.
I'm guilty of watching this nonsense but I can't condone their behaviour. Also, there's something odd about the things Alana says. She says some things that I wouldn't think a six year old would say.
I love you anita_mark.
ReplyDelete@Anita-I hear your point totally, but I don't think anyone is excusing them necessarily for their behavior...however...in light of what society does put on a pedestal these days, there is definitely worse out there than these simple folks. As long as they don't hurt anyone else, really...who cares.
ReplyDeleteAnd rules of the internet??? I thought there were no rules on the internet...you can certainly choose to hate both families and we won't have the internet police find you..this is America after all! LOL!!!
When the 12yr old blew her nose on the ettiquette lady's cloth napkin, that was it for me.
ReplyDelete@Ice, it's not America, it's the internet :) And I'm Canadian. But my comment wasn't directed at you, it was a general comment.
ReplyDeleteI just find them so awful yet I watch it. I'm the problem, I know. But I just can't believe those people exist. I just hate the attitude people have of "this is how I am, deal!" My cousin had a friend who made me all kinds of stabby. She'd say the meanest, most tactless things and preface everything with, "I say what I think." That's not acceptable.
When the etiquette lady visited and the girl said something to the effect of, "I am who I am and if people don't like it, I don't care" and the etiquette lady just responded with, "well good luck with that." That was hilarious. Because she's right. If she ever tries to get a job or move to the big city, etc., she's screwed because she won't have the necessary social skills to survive.
And if they take the pig away from Alana, they're moved from dumb to awful. If she's given a present everytime she loses and they gave her a pet without thinking it through, they are horrible.
Sigh, I hate myself so much right now.
But agreed that them being famous for a toddler pageant is slightly better than a self-published sex tape.
ReplyDeleteI call my husband "Boo Boo" as an endearment, but I think I might change that now.
ReplyDeleteagree with ice angel......they seem like a loving family and while they might be "rednecks".....they are laughing abouf it as much as everyone watching
ReplyDeleteGive it a few weeks and people still won't care....,
ReplyDeleteI haven't watched the show, seeing the promo clip was Enough for me.
ReplyDeleteBut hey, when was this mug taken?? B/c note; there are only two chins. She has three ones, clearly, now. I guess on to the forth.
She's beut, that IS for sure. Does anyone know, was she a pageant queen too??
@LaMac - I saw that, as I was Thankfully on the treadmill. It's been one of my new descriptors. ;)
ReplyDeleteI watched 2 episodes. It was entertaining in a trainwreck kind of way. And now that someone mentioned it, the house was clean (except for the whole pig pooping on the table - omg ewww). Anything involving them eating just grosses me out to no end: the horrific stuff they give that kid, the mom only eats with her fingers etc.
ReplyDeleteAs far as brainless TV goes I'd much rather have this than the fakery and elitist BS of anything Real Housewives or Kardashian.
Thank you, Anita. As a Canadian who is appalled by the commercials alone I agree 110%.
ReplyDeleteI'd rather read a book, surf the net, wash my floors, fold laundry and basically do anything other than watch this mindless trash on ::snort:: the LEARNING channel.
Sorry, but someone needs to remove the word learning from TLC, this channel is all about shock factor it seems.
Dia I'm here ! I believe this woman might be mentally ill.
ReplyDeleteThis completes the Official Dummification of We the People. The Mayans might be correct.Think I'll postpone buying a new car until after Dec 21.
Definitely wait to buy that car!
DeleteMentally ill or maybe lead poisoning? Brain damage? It boggles my mind. Why did I spend all that money on my education that I struggle to pay off? I can just talk dumb and rub my belly!
Time for adult beverages!!!!
Idk of someone else said it, but "deception of child support..." or whatever, could have been issued b/c she pinned support on the wrong man, and took the payments.
ReplyDelete//sorry. sad I just thought of it.
To be fair, TLC hasn't used the word "learning" for years. Nor has A&E said "Arts and Entertainment" in years so I don't think that argument can be made anymore.
ReplyDeleteTheir house appears clean but their carpet looks like the carpets in the hoarders' houses after the clean-up. And yes, watching that woman eat at the buffet restaurant was disgusting.
And just to clarify, when I said I'm Canadian, I did not mean it in a way that looked down at the Americans because this nonsense came from them. A lot of garbage has come from here.
Hey...I'm Learning NOT to let my ship turn into a complete artificial sweetener slob machine. I'm learning how to control what I eat....from this woman, her family, her ped looking, "baby daddy," (call me judgmental on that one but you know it's true)AND from Hoarder's. That show is like the old site, Rotten.com. My God.
ReplyDeleteThat said....NO one likes Four Doors????? I LOVE that show. But then again, House Hunter's, the NYC apartment floor plans on the therealestalker and in the bag of the NYT mag, ARE my porn. So no surprise there.
**baCK of the NYT mag
ReplyDeleteexcuse me
PS I'm relying on the written word here and the news analysis articles. I can't bring myself to watch it. But I don't watch -ians , either:)
ReplyDeleteI can't believe some of the cruel comments being made about June Thompson's appearance.
ReplyDeleteIf there are any overweight people reading, don't you think the comments might hurt?
@Ice Angel, I like your observations and share them.
ReplyDeleteWe watch this show, because we caught Honey Boo Boo on Toddlers and Tiaras (which we also love) and I just needed to see it for myself. There are times I feel guilty watching this stuff, but that's rare. I prefer this over watching any of those vapid and narcissistic Ks on E! any day of the week.
The pregnant daughter is the 17 year old, and the dad is NOT in the picture at all (they addressed that on this past week's episode). The mom had her when she was 15, dropped out of high school (did get her GED later) and worked two jobs to support her (no dad in the picture there, either).
The only thing about this show that makes me cringe is WHAT they eat. So much processed junk. Did anyone see the episode where they weighed themselves, to start their "weight loss" challenge? Honey Boo Boo weighs 70 pounds! OMG, I didn't weight that until I was 12. The youngest daughter (who they call "Chubbs") weighs 175. So unhealthy at such a young age, it's sad.
They also addressed her multiple chins and her "neck crust" in this last episode. They showed a photo of June from high school, and she actually didn't look that bad. She just let herself go, big time.
I apologize for knowing so much about these people. :/
I had given up in horror on this trainwreck after only one episode, but the comments here are so damn great I'm willing to give Runny Doo Doo a second chance!
ReplyDeleteI had given up in horror on this trainwreck after only one episode, but the comments here are so damn great I'm willing to give Runny Doo Doo a second chance!
ReplyDeleteThe saddest thing is that the media take advantage of these people and pay them very little...and it won't help anyone.
ReplyDelete
