'Mama June' Finale: Sugar Bear didn't want Honey Boo Boo in his life because she wasn't a boy and fans are livid
The showdown between Alana Frances 'Honey Boo Boo' Thompson and Mike 'Sugar Bear' and Jennifer Thompson was much-needed and a long time coming. It has helped the couple see that Honey Boo Boo wants no part of their lives and is interested in staying with her sister Lauryn Michelle 'Pumpkin' Efird instead. Jennifer and Sugar Bear invited Pumpkin and Honey Boo Boo over to a new address. They were surprised for a while before the two revealed that they bought a new home just so that Honey Boo Boo could stay with them full-time and enjoy their time there.
Jennifer and Sugar Bear have been angling for full-custody of Honey Boo Boo for a while now but Pumpkin has been against it. She was already worked up about her mother (June Edith 'Mama June' Shannon and boyfriend Geno Doak enrolled into a new rehab center), wasn't thinking straight, and Jennifer and Sugar Bear's overbearing attitude only made it worse. After she straight out denied her the right to go for full custody, Honey Boo Boo welled up and finally broke her silence. She said she doesn't want to be with someone like Sugar Bear who doesn't want her in his life because "she is not a boy." This made them quiet and the conversation was over. Meanwhile, fans are siding with Honey Boo Boo and questioning Sugar Bear for making such a harsh statement.
"And Sugar Bear should have stood the heck up and provided some financial support for Alana -- where was he when Pumpkin and Josh could have used the help? We hope Season 5 leaves Sugar Bear and Jennifer out, their 15 minutes of fame should be up! #MamaJune," a viewer expressed. "#MamaJune #MamaJunefamilycrisis I know that disgusting b***h Jenifer is going to be all proud of herself on television but I wonder how sugar s**t feels about himself being told that he never wanted a lana because she wasn't a boy nice job sugar s**t," another tweeted. "When alana snapped at sugar bear and jennifer about how sb doesn’t wanna be in her life cos she’s not a boy really hit me in my heart cos haha relatable- #MamaJune," user posted.
