The latest season of 'Mama June: Family Crisis' brought heated-up drama that kept viewers hooked to their seats. During the latest episode of Season 6, Shannon aka Mama June had a conversation with her husband Justin Stroud about Alana's custody battle. The reality star seems to be frustrated and asked Justin, "Don't let me forget to write that check for Pumpkin when I get home because you know can’t be late. Gotta be able to have that check." However, Mama June further elaborated in the confessional, "Pumpkin blindsided me with some stuff in the full custody papers." The reality star revealed that she was ok with giving Pumpkin full custody because she had full guardianship for three years. Mama June further noted, "Now there's an $800 a month order for child support because I agree to that, not anybody made me." However, the reality star admitted that she barely talked to her daughters after the custody battle. Mama June then told Justin that she wished that Pumpkin and Alana 'would look at it and say hey, you know, my mom has been doing good for three years and stop having me pay for the past mistakes.'
