TUSKEGEE, ALABAMA: Mama June Shannon has alarmed viewers with a new video in which she appears to have a red face. The star's fans pushed her to "get checked out" in the comments section.

"Hey guys. I know I look like a hot mess right now, but this girl gonna get me right," she started the video. Mama June appeared in the video that was uploaded on Friday, November 25, with unkempt hair, a red face, and eyelashes. June promoted the small business Eminence Beauty in the video before having their experts do her eyelashes. The TLC celebrity advised her fans to go to the store if they needed any eye care services. June's eyes did seem more attractive after the treatment, but her face was still covered in red blotches, and her hair was still pulled back in a sloppy bun.
