Shannon, popularly known as Mama June, became a breakout star after her personal struggles and family drama premiered on reality tv.

Besides her reality tv fame, Shannon has made headlines for felony drug possession charges and was even arrested with her ex-boyfriend Geno. Shannon struggled with addiction, including to anxiety medication Xanax, which helps manage panic disorders, and prescription pain pills Fioricet, mainly used to treat severe headaches. The reality star even had to sell her house and lose custody of her younger daughter. Since then, a lot has changed and Shannon has worked on her addiction in rehab. Shannon has now crossed a major milestone in her life and married her longtime boyfriend Justin. Shannon is also trying hard to reconcile with her family.
