Is Honey Boo Boo homeless? ‘Mama June’ star in hot water over 'zero credit' score
DENVER, COLORADO: 'Mama June: Family Crisis' star Alana 'Honey Boo Boo' Thompson is currently facing a significant crisis and is on the brink of homelessness. The reality star recently shared on social media that she and her partner, Dralin Carswell, could soon be homeless if they don't find a new rental soon
Honey Boo Boo then explained her issue and said in a TikTok video, saying, "The main problem is Dralin has student loans on his credit and the balance is greater than $20,000 so they will not accept our freaking application." She further noted that while she and Dralin met all other rental requirements, their credit scores were a problem. Honey Boo Boo explained that she had "zero credit," and Dralin had a student loan. She begged her followers to find her a place by next week and claimed, "I need a house and I don’t need it to break my pockets because I still have to pay for school."
@lanaaaaaa.0 This has been in my drafts for a few days because I was hesitant about the response I might get from the video. I honestly thought we'd have a house by now, but we're on the home stretch and really need your help! If you can assist, please reach out—I’d appreciate any suggestions. Also, we almost got scammed out of our money, so please, serious inquiries only! #fyp #honeybooboo #helpme #findusahome ♬ original sound - lanaaaa in the houseeee 🥳
