'Slow down on the cake': 'Mama June: Family Crisis' star June Shannon slammed for eating sugar with grits amid health woes

June Shannon aka Mama June lost 300 lbs in 2017 but recently gained 100 lbs back

GORDON, GEORGIA: June Shannon aka Mama June and her daughter, Lauryn 'Pumpkin' Efird, had a huge feud in the last week's episode of 'Mama June: Family Crisis'. However, the latest episode carried out the explosive feud which saw several serious accusations and breakdown moments. Things got so heated that Pumpkin was slamming a chair against the floor and June shed tears over the fact that her daughters want nothing to do with her.

Although June apologized, Pumpkin didn't think it was genuine and claimed that June would say anything to get her daughters involved in her wedding. Despite all the drama, June focuses on her wedding preparations and eventually heads to the cake shop. Additionally, June also went for lunch where she ordered meals that Internet labels were not good for her health.

Mama June orders sugar with grits

Mama June went out to eat with her sister, Joanne 'Doe Doe' Shannon. During the outing, June ordered some sugar to go with her grits. However, Joanne told her, "You do not need sugar," but June looked offended. June added, "It's for my grits! I'm a grown woman, I can make my own decision." Later in the episode, the 43-year-old reality star went to the bakery and told the shop owner she needed a top-notch cake for her wedding. Justin reminded June that it shouldn't have a chocolate flavor as the doctor have advised June to stay away from chocolate. The store owner displayed them a variety of wedding cakes from which to choose. However, June and Justin then decided to test a few of the cakes to determine which one worked the best before their wedding. However, June famously lost 300 lbs in 2017 and dropped from a size 18 to a size 4 after undergoing bariatric surgery. Notably, June gained recently 100 lbs back after her impressive weight loss.

'Sugar on the grits????'

June might have enjoyed sugar on her grits but the viewers appeared to be offended by the reality star's meal choice. A social media user tweeted, "June clearly doesn’t care about what that doctor told her about her health. She’s still eating all that sugar and dairy." A second user said, "Putting sugar on her grits is just gross and shows that her surgery was basically for nothing!!" Another follower noted, "Sugar on the grits???? Just nope! 🤢." A fourth person said, "June needs to slow down on the cake cuz her face & neck is looking weird." A fifth Twitter user added, "She went through all that surgery for nothing." Another person commented, "You don’t need this food, June. You want it #mamajune." One fan penned, "June you need to stop eating….that’s why the bariatric doctor rejected you for corrective surgery."
