The drama on 'Mama June: Family Crisis' Season 4 has heightened with June Edith 'Mama June' Shannon's reappearance. She hadn't met with her kids in six months but that changed in this week's episode of the We TV-backed reality show. It was an emotional mother-daughter reunion but Lauryn Michelle 'Pumpkin' Efird made sure she didn't let feelings get in the way. 

As promised, Pumpkin made sure Mama June was clean but she failed the drug test conducted at the production office. She cried inconsolably when the results came in but Pumpkin insisted she gets herself checked into a rehabilitation center. Mama June assured that he and boyfriend Geno Doak have been clean for months, but Pumpkin wouldn't take no for an answer. Even when they arrived at the center, Mama June was confident she didn't need any of it, and being an in-patient wasn't an option for her. 

Meanwhile, fans think the production unit must have paid Mama June to be on the show after all this time because otherwise why would Geno allow her to meet with Pumpkin who is trying her best to get her mother onto a better path. Some even think that Mama June will never be able to get clean and be with her family until the time Geno is in her life.

"#MamaJune I truly believe WE network paid mama June to show up. Think about it Geno wouldn’t allow June to see her family. He is getting something out of it. MONEY!!!," a fan commented, while another shared: "Until June stops with the selfish s**t and quits covering up and lying for Geno nothing is ever going to change sadly Pumpkin and Alana just need to live their life and let June sink her hole deeper bc she only cares about Geno right now #MamaJune."

"June will always be a flake. If you even cared about your family, you'd do the inpatient. You just don't want to leave Geno- because YOU PUT HIM BEFORE YOUR KIDS AND ALWAYS WILL. #MamaJune #MamaJunefromnottohot," a viewer expressed. "All Geno see in June is money and the fame and yes you know that he will get in her head to convince her not to go to the drug treatment #MamaJune," another tweeted.
