Josh Efird opened up in the 'Dumb Blonde' podcast that when he started dating Pumpkin in 2015 he had to "ride with Sugar Bear to come and see Pumpkin." He further started explaining his dislike toward Sugar Bear. Josh said, "The more abuse conversation and crazy s**t the Sugar Bear had done, the more dislikement I had for him." Pumpkin further added, "What a lot of people didn't see was a lot of abuse (physical) from Sugar Bear."

The 22-year-old explained how once Sugar Bear threw a set of keys at her eyes. And, the worst part was that "she (June) knew." June was in the living room when the incident happened and she said nothing. Bunni Xo slammed Mike in her podcast, saying, "Sugar Bear is a d**khead, I never knew." 



 

The two sisters not only threw dirt on Sugar Bear, but they also thrashed their mother for being open to them about "drugs." Pumpkin claimed, "She was very open. She let us know what she was doing. She would say how much she is doing."

The sisters further showed disappointment toward how their show was canceled because June was talking to a man who was accused of "raping" Anna Marie Cardwell, June's eldest daughter. 



 

Pumpkin and Honey Boo Boo further talked about June meeting Geno Doak and how he dragged her into doing drugs. Bunnie Xo further confessed to "unfortunately" meeting Geno at a strip club with June.

Bunnie then showed a video of her hanging out with June, somewhere around 2015 or 2016. Bunnie claimed June to be "extremely quiet" when she met her, and she thinks they used to go to strip clubs more often at that time because of Geno. Bunnie further slammed Geno for asking for "cocaine" from her throughout the time they were at the club. She claimed, "He would not stop asking me for cocaine. I'm talking like 50 times an hour." 

These traumatic experiences scarred Pumpkin for a lifetime. The 22-year-old claimed in the podcast that she is no longer able to trust people. The 'Mama June' star explained how people approached her to become friends and she was always suspicious. Pumpkin got tainted with "trust issues." She said she wonders how people expect her to trust them when she can't trust her own mother. 



 

Part 1 of the double episode of the 'Dumb Blonde' podcast featuring Alana and Lauryn is available on Apple Podcast. The official synopsis of the first episode reads, "In Part 1 of this double episode, Bunnie welcomes two beautiful strong women, Lauryn “Pumpkin” Shannon and Alana Thompson, formerly known as reality star Honey Boo Boo.
