'Men over daughters?': Mama June slammed for heartfelt first anniversary post for 'best friend' Justin Stroud
HAMPTON, GEORGIA: Love can be a rocky road and for TLC star Mama June aka June Shannon, it's been a tumultuous journey. From scandalous past relationships to run-ins with the law, it's fair to say that love hasn't always been kind to her. But could her luck be changing with Justin Stroud? After being together for two years, the couple recently celebrated their first anniversary with much joy and happiness. In March 2022, they tied the knot at a Georgia courthouse in an intimate ceremony. But it wasn't until June 1 that the world got wind of the nuptials, thanks to an Instagram post from Shannon herself. It's a refreshing change of pace for Shannon, whose love life has been the subject of intense scrutiny and controversy in the past.
Back in 2014, Shannon was romantically linked to Mark McDaniel, a man convicted of child molestation and serving time in prison. The relationship ultimately led to the cancellation of her hit TLC series 'Here Comes Honey Boo Boo'. Then in 2019, she found herself in trouble with the law again, this time alongside her then-boyfriend Geno Doak. The couple was arrested and charged with drug-related offenses and domestic violence. But perhaps Justin is the change that Shannon needed. With their first wedding anniversary behind them, the couple seems to be going strong. Could this be the beginning of a new chapter in Shannon's love life? Only time will tell, but we're rooting for her and Stroud to make it work.

Another said, "Why are you on this page?! Fix your own life!!!" One comment stood our from the rest. The user said, "Imagine if this energy was put into her kids instead of a man…. 😢 tisk it’s sad bc I see them on TikTok constantly hustling cash instead of idk 🤷♀️ actually working. Lana’s rap says it all Pumpkin raised the kids while momma ran for dIC.”
Estranged daughter Anna 'Chickadee' Cardwell at June Shanon's wedding
It was a wedding to remember for Mama June as her long-lost daughter Anna "Chickadee" Cardwell reunited with the family for the special occasion. Cardwell, who has been estranged from her mother for some time, was seen walking Shannon down the aisle alongside her sisters Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson, Lauryn "Pumpkin" Efird, and Jessica "Chubbs" Shannon.
The tension between Shannon and Cardwell began when reports surfaced that Shannon was dating Mark McDaniel, a man she had previously dated when Cardwell was a child. Cardwell later alleged that she was molested by McDaniel at the age of 8, leading to a rift between her and her mother. At the time, Cardwell was unsure if Shannon had rekindled her relationship with McDaniel because she had received conflicting information. But on the day of the wedding, all was forgiven as Cardwell put aside her differences with her mother to support her on her special day. It was a heartwarming moment for fans of Mama June, who have been following the family's journey as they work to rebuild their relationships and overcome the obstacles that have come their way. The wedding was a beautiful celebration of love and family, and we can only hope that it's a sign of more positive things to come for Mama June and her loved ones.
