Internet accuses Mama June of stealing money from her children amid claims of having ‘endless zeroes’ in bank account
HAMPTON, GEORGIA: Reality TV star June Shannon, known as Mama June, faced intense backlash from the internet after confidently declaring, "I'm a reality TV star, of course, I have endless zeros in my bank account," as part of a trend on TikTok.
This assertion triggered criticism from many online users, who raised questions about her financial practices.
Several online comments accused Mama June of potentially taking money from her children. The controversy escalated as some accused her of seeking financial assistance from her fans despite claiming to have significant wealth.
People online criticized Mama June, questioning the apparent inconsistency between her statements and financial actions.
"If her bank account has endless zeroes, (as if they're loaded?) then why were they begging people off of TikTok when they were in Disney and claiming they all had to share 1 snack ...oh but June got 5 of her own," one user on Reddit questioned.
"My grandmother always told me you can tell who is truly broke because they look ashamed when they ask for help meanwhile the people who horde look happy," said one.
"Because they know their followers are stupid enough to make it happen. Why spend your own money when you can get others to cover you?" said another.
"That and she stole lots of Alana's money a while back," commented one.
"She also stole Anna's money. Funny how the other 2 sisters either never had money stolen or they won't admit they did, but "Chubbs" (can't remember her name) at least had her car repossessed when June was with Geno because of June. But, didn’t they beg for money to take that Disney trip after Anna died? Didn’t they set up a wishlist of items on Amazon for “Kaitlyn” for viewers to purchase so she’d have a nice Christmas? Either you’re lying about having money, or you just admitted you’re exploiting your fans by taking donations you don’t need," commented another.
"Bank account with endless zeros but still had to steal her kid's money," added one.
"If she’s got so many “zeros” in her bank account, why the fuck do they live in a shitty ass place, wear shitty-ass CHEAP clothes, and BEG FOR MONEY ON EVERY SOCIAL PLATFORM in the world?! LOSERS! ADDICTS! Bye Felicia, and take your flappin' ass cheap denture having huzzbin with ya," added another.
