'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."
