'Looking like the walking dead': 'Mama June' star Lauryn 'Pumpkin' Efird receives Internet wrath over her daughter Ella's 'matted' hair
ATLANTA, GEORGIA: 'Mama June' star Lauryn "Pumpkin" Efird was recently live on her business social media account of 'Sister's Closet.' However, fans noticed a disturbing detail during the live and called out the reality star.
During the live, Pumpkin promoted her Tumblers and other products from her small business. The reality star's Facebook Live was interrupted by her daughter Ella, who kept coming in the background.
Pumpkin tried to keep away Ella from the cameras but she unwillingly came into the frame as she was trying to touch the iron. However, Ella's hair was messed up and the social media users slammed Pumpkin for not taking enough care of her daughter.
A Reddit user shared a screenshot from the live and noted in the thread, "This poor kid..." However, other followers took to the comment section and questioned, "Is that Ella? Why is her hair so matted???????"
Another person added, "I would never be caught dead letting my kids look like this. I have 4 and they are all always done to the T. While I'm walking around looking like the walking dead."
A social media user noted, "If it was morning or whatever I can understand... this was live tonight on her sister's closet channel at 10 pm."
Another internet user penned, "Because she’s outa school and doesn’t have to be cared for properly…on top of Anna passing I’m sure they will use that as an excuse for neglect."
A critic said, "That matte has to hurt D: I doubt these idiots are teaching basic hygiene. At her age, I loved to have someone brush my hair [mainly my mother] and it gave those bonding opportunities too."
Another Reddit user wrote, "Why did that scene from Big Daddy pop into my head: he's the smelly kid in class? I let him become the smelly kid in class! Poor Ella."
