ATLANTA, GEORGIA: 'Mama June: Family Crisis' Season 7 star Lauryn 'Pumpkin' Efird, and Alana 'Honey Boo Boo' Thompson visited their mother, Mama June Shannon's house to have a conversation about Coogan account.

Honey Boo Boo needed money for her college tuition fees as well as house rent and Pumpkin suggested to reach June for help.

However, June surprisingly refused to extend financial support which left everyone furious. In the preview of the upcoming episode, after June made it clear to Pumpkin that she would not pay Honey Boo Boo's college tuition fees Pumpkin's husband Josh 'Joshua' Efird was left disappointed.

He admitted in the confessional that he had expected June to step out to help with college finances.

Josh called out June in the confessional and noted, "You know, after the amount of s**t that June has put Alana through, you figured she would want to pay for the entire college or at least pay for semester or two, but, like, nope." The We TV show star further noted, "I don't see her voluntarily chipping in nothing. It’s selfish, you know, is what I'm saying.”

'Mama June: Family Crisis' star June Shannon questions Josh and Pumpkin's contribution

Mama June Shannon recently questioned Pumpkin and Josh's part of the contribution to Honey Boo Boo's college fees after her daughter asked for financial help.

Pumpkin and Josh stepped forward to raise Honey Boo Boo and were granted sole custody in 2022 amid June's addiction. June asked Pumpkin, "If she can't invest in her own self, then why should I? What money are you and Josh willing to put up?"

Pumpkin claimed, "I'm not her mom," with June responding, "But you said that you were mom, and you've raised her and all that, so don't even try that s**."

Pumpkin noted that she and Josh were supporting Honey Boo Boo to fly to Colorado but June still appeared unwilling to give money. Visibly frustrated Pumpkin held up the phone call and furiously told her husband, "Mama has the audacity to be like, 'Well, y'all just want to ask me for the money for college or for the first semester and stuff, and I don't f****g have it."

Pumpkin added, "She's like, 'What the f**k are you and Josh going to do?' Like, I've done everything."
