Where did June Shannon spend Honey Boo Boo's $500k? 'Mama June: Family Crisis' star dubbed as 'thief'
GORDON, GEORGIA: 'Mama June: Family Crisis' Season 7 finale exposed Mama June Shannon's lies and fraud after her daughter Lauryn 'Pumpkin' Shannon delved into Alana 'Honey Boo Boo' Thompson's Coogan account. Pumpkin alleged that June had squandered $500,000 on drugs.
During the episode, Pumpkin calculated Honey Boo Boo's earnings, taxes, and June's transactions from the Coogan account. After adding Honey Boo Boo's various child star appearances, out-of-state taxes, and the money that June spent, Pumpkin revealed that there was $35,728 missing from the WETV star's funds.
Pumpkin showed the calculation to June and Justin Stroud and claimed that her mother spent $500,000 on crack. She said, "You're being [a] negative b***h!" Pumpkin yelled, "You're not a supportive mother! Who cares?! It's investing in your daughter if you lost 10 grand?" Pumpkin further claimed, "You lost $500,000 to a bag of f*****g crack, bitch!"
Meanwhile, Honey Boo Boo insisted her mother to return only $35,000 so she could pay for college. However, Honey Boo Boo called June a 'thief' and made it clear in the confessional that if her mother failed to return her money, she could sever ties with her.
The WETV show star said, "If Mama wants to have like a relationship with me she needs to pay me back, because one thing I don't do, is I don't hang around no 'thief' that gonna steal my money now." She added, "You was the one who stole it so you need to pay my money back."

Honey Boo Boo and Pumpkin claims to be 'done' with Mama June
'Mama June' stars Honey Boo Boo and Pumpkin had enough of their mother June Shannon's lies and couldn't tolerate anymore. After June denied admitting to spending Honey Boo Boo's earnings, Honey Boo Boo stood up, ripped the microphone attached to her shirt, and left the room. Pumpkin followed her, declaring she was 'done' with her mother.
Pumpkin admitted in the confessional, "I know we've been through a lot with this family, but like this is just where I draw the line. The fact that mom was willing to literally throw her entire marriage down the toilet, over the fact that she doesn't want to sign a check for money she took is freaking insane to me."
Pumpkin told her mother, "You know what Justin is more than welcome at my house. But Mama can get it together. I don't want a relationship there." WETV show star further noted, "I don't want to call you. I don't want to because you have said several times over and over again. I'm done with the lying. I've told you. I'm done. I'm sick of it. So I'm not going to and I am done."
