DENVER, COLORADO: 'Mama June: Family Crisis' Season 7 star Alana 'Honey Boo Boo' Thompson recently went Live on TikTok, and viewers noticed that she was almost about to break down into tears while addressing the cyberbullying. Internet was left concerned about the 18-year-old, knowing that she has been struggling ever since the death of her sister.

A user took to Reddit with the title, "Alana can’t win! Bullying an 18 year old?! Really?" The user then explained in the post, "Alana went live almost in tears because of all the horrible mean shit posted here. People in this sub are bullying an 18 year old girl who is just trying to figure out life after the tragic loss of her sister!"

Taking Honey Boo Boo's side, the user added, "The body shaming is gross and so harmful. Give the girl a chance! She still has a lot of school left. She will grow up and mature. She made it through her first semester while her sister was passing and is still going. If she was lazy, losing Anna would be the perfect excuse not to go to school." The user addressed Honey Boo Boo getting 21K scholarship with her hard work. 

A user commented, "She’s gonna have to deal with this stuff the rest of her life unfortunately." "The world is ugly and mean," agreed another. "People are going to say what they will. It’s the internet. Unfortunately, that comes with the territory," wrote another.
