Internet dubs June Shannon 'monster' for sharing video with granddaughter amid daughter Anna Cardwell's death
MILLEDGEVILLE, GEORGIA: Mama June Shannon's daughter Anna 'Chickadee' Cardwell tragically died after she was diagnosed with stage 4 adrenal cancer. After Anna's tragic death, her daughter, Kaitlyn Elizabeth, has been living with June.
However, the viewers recently showed concern for Kaitlyn after June shared a video with her granddaughter. In the video, June and her husband Justin Stroud, were having dinner at a restaurant.
The reality star showed food on the table and then panned the camera to her granddaughter, Kaitlyn. Anna's daughter was busy with her tab. After the dinner, June, Justin and Kaitlyn went shopping.
However, social media users slammed June for involving Kaitlyn in the TikTok video and asked June to give her space for grieving as she has lost her mother. A Reddit user wrote, "Little girl Is so Sad totally didn’t want that camera slung her way! 😞"
Another person added, "I am so disgusted that June is pointing her camera in this child’s face right after she watched her mother die. Just when I thought June couldn’t get any worse. Ffs."
Another social media user wrote, "I feel so bad for little Kaitlyn. Separated from her sister, and her grandma is shoving a camera in her face when her mom is barely cold."
Another critic added, "That little girl just lost her mother and she is forcing her online already.. Jesus this woman is truly a monster."
One user penned, "Little girl is so sad and her big a** decided to make a Tik Tok and film her. She's such a disgrace."
Another social media user noted, "Oh sweet Kaitlyn 😕 I feel terrible for her. Give that baby space to grieve instead of throwing her on social media."
"That child deserves privacy. I can not believe June is caring for her. Exploiting her on TT is not a surprise though. June knows people will tune in to see the child. She’s trash for doing this," slammed a user.
Justin Stroud's 'inappropriate behaviour' sparks concerns for Kaitlyn
Mama June Shannon received custody of Kaitlyn Elizabeth after Anna Cardwell's death. It was revealed that Kaitlyn has been close to June and Anna wanted her elder daughter to live with her grandmother.
However, the reality star recently went live on TikTok with her husband Justin Stroud and Kaitlyn. During the live session, Kaitlyn was having fun which seemingly irritated Justin and he tried to push her away.
Fans were concerned for Kaitlyn noting that June has a record to date criminals. Previously, it was reported that June's ex-boyfriend, Mark Anthony McDaniel, allegedly abused her daughter Anna when she was 8.
However, a Reddit user wrote, "He also looks like a hard creep, they shouldn’t look like a couple on stream. They shouldn’t have custody mama June has failed each and every one of her children. I’m so scared for that child. Two addicts one with a history of dating child rapists let alone the rapist of Caitlin’s mother, after the fact was known too."
Another person added, "The livestream is weird." Another critic noted, "She shouldn’t be in their custody, history is wasted if not learned from."
Another concerned follower said, "I really hope someone steps in to protect this baby, id hate to see another situation like what happened to Anna."
