June Shannon slammed for using tears over Anna Cardwell's death to promote 'Mama June: Family Crisis'
GORDON, GEORGIA: June Shannon faced backlash for shedding tears during a tribute to her late daughter, Anna Cardwell, on the second-month anniversary of her death. In a TikTok video, the reality star was seen hysterically crying over the loss. Towards the end of the emotional video, June subtly promoted 'Mama June: Family Crisis' Season 7 and encouraged fans to tune in on TLC. This sparked speculation about the authenticity of June's grief for her deceased daughter, with some questioning if she might have been faking emotions to attract viewers to the new season of her show.
A Reddit user mocked June, stating, "Not crying about the pain and then plugging the show." Another commented, "Just plugging the show. Casual viewer 'Oh my goodness this poor woman has been through so much and now this! I must watch the show to see how she triumphantly rises above it all.'"
One agreed, "Exactly SO DIRTY! Using her death for views & advertising." "Ah no wonder. This would be the first I’ve seen her cry over the loss of her daughter but there’s a show to promote so I guess it’s for that. Sad," a user slammed June.
Calling out her mother instincts, a user criticized June, "As a mother I am remorseful but I would never plug a show after crying about my child that passed."

Is June Shannon OK? Internet concerned about 'Mama June' star's swollen face
As June shared a new video on TikTok, concern arose among people due to her visibly swollen face. Speculation surfaced, suggesting that the star might be experiencing a medical event. June has not discussed any specific surgery or recent medical procedure she might be undergoing. However, she has frequently mentioned dealing with rosacea, a skin condition known for causing flushing or redness, which could potentially explain the swelling in her face.
A user noted the change, saying, "She looks like she is in the middle of a medical event. She looks so swollen and painful." Another claimed, "Yeah seriously there’s something wrong. She’s puffy as fuck and her legs look awful lately too. Her skin is not happy either."
