When asked if she was sexually attracted to both men and women, the reality TV star said, "I am, yes. I'm not going to lie." In a separate interview with TMZ, Mama June said that she had had three lesbian encounters. "It's no big deal, I was young and experimented with it, never went pro though just played the minor leagues," she remarked in cryptic words.
