“I called to tell you that me and Josh decided that we're gonna go ahead and take Alana to Colorado,” she tells her mother June Shannon. Mama June then starts saying how her daughter Alana “really needs to just get her s--- together” before leaving for school.
“I know, mama. So the main thing I need you to do is call and check about that Coogan account,” Lauryn replies, seemingly referring to Alana's trust account. “You're not forking any money out and her payments for college are due very soon.”

'Mama June: Family Crisis' Alana Thompson threatens "legal action" against Mama June
In a confessional, the 'Here Comes Honey Boo Boo' alum Alana expressed concern about the missing money, insisting that there should be at least six figures in the account. She demanded immediate action to locate the funds, stating, "My money is somewhere. It needs to be found right now, ASAP. Because this is not gonna work."
Mama June tried to justify her actions by claiming that taxes automatically deducted 50 percent of the money. However, her daughters were skeptical of her explanations. Lauryn, 24, pointed out that no state would deduct such a large amount in taxes from every check.
Mama June defended her use of the money on Alana's upkeep over the years, including clothes, hair appointments, lash appointments, and nail appointments. She argued that Alana should be grateful as $33,000 was a substantial amount for an 18-year-old.
In response, Alana took a bold stance and threatened "legal action" against Mama June, determined to hold her accountable.
She firmly stated, "Something’s gonna happen because you ain’t fitting to just get away with stealing my money, baby." Despite the clear evidence against her, Mama June remained defiant and insisted that she had been honest.
