'Mama June: Family Crisis' Season 4 returned for an all-new episode on Friday, April 24, night. In 2019, a shocking video of Honey Boo Boo aka Alana went viral, right after Mama June ditched rehab once again.

Pumpkin and Josh were furious the day Alana went live with that video. Fans who watched Pumpkin and Josh's reaction tonight when the episode aired, affirmed that the couple was right to react the way they did.

Last week when 'Mama June: Family Crisis' aired, we witnessed Mama June hit an all-time new low when a video of her boyfriend Geno falling out the car intoxicated after he hit her garage door surfaced online. This week when the series returned, we got to know that Mama June had called the producers and agreed to go to rehab. 

Meanwhile, Alana was starting her first day of high school and was equally excited to know that her mother agreed to go to rehab. But when the producers went to pick Mama June up for the flight, she didn't respond to their calls, neither did she come out of her house. 

On hearing this news, Pumpkin (Mama June's eldest daughter) was devastated. She called up June and left a harsh voicemail. Pumpkin was also worried to tell Alana (Mama June's youngest daughter) that June had ditched rehab once again. But Josh advised her that it's the right thing to do. 

After they broke the news to Alana once she came back from school, she stormed into her room not knowing what else to say. Later, Pumpkin got to know that Alana had gone live on Instagram and pretended to snort cocaine as a joke.

Outraged, Pumpkin yelled at Alana in fear that SugarBear would use this as an excuse to gain custody of her. And within no time, as Pumpkin predicted, the video of Alana fake snorting cocaine went viral. 

Watching Josh and Pumpkin get furious with Alana's joke, fans on Twitter agree that they were right to behave that way. "Josh is such a great person, and Pumpkin is doing her best with Alana. They reacted the right way with Alana, because a joke can easily turn into reality quick. #MamaJune," a fan said. 

"Ohh that is So sad seeing Alana cry over her mom. Thank God Your have an amazing family structure there to help cope.Btw Great Job Pumpkin & Josh! I couldn't see Alana anywhere else besides with ya'll. #MamaJune #honeybooboo #pumpkin," a fan wrote.

While another added, "I adore pumpkin but josh was the right time. The media would have reported it with in days. She needed to hear it from Pumpkin. #MamaJune." 

"I like that Josh and Pumpkin are honest with Alana. The truth is sometimes hard, but not lying to her is best. #MamaJune," a fan shared. Adding to that another said, "I love how Pumpkin and Josh taking care of Alana. That’s how family should be!! #FromHotToNot #MamaJune #FromNotToHot." 

"#MamaJune why on earth would June do that to her kids . I'm so proud of pumpkin and josh for stepping up," a fan wrote.
