Why did Honey Boo Boo ditch Anna Cardwell's 'last' trip? Fans disappointed as 'Mama June' star fails to join family vacation
DENVER, COLORADO: WeTV show 'Mama June: Family Crisis' star Anna 'Chickadee' Cardwell was diagnosed with Stage 4 adrenal carcinoma in January 2023.
Anna's health appeared to be deteriorating and the family has been aware that the WeTV star has very little time on her hands.
However, to make some fun memories, Lauryn Efrid and Mama June Shannon alongside their kids and husbands went on a last trip with Anna to Gatlinburg.
June shared updates on her TikTok from the trip with her husband Justin Stroud, Lauryn Efird with her husband Joshua Efird and their children, and Anna with her husband Michael Cardwell and their daughters.
However, Alana 'Honey Boo Boo' Thompson was notably absent from the trip.
June revealed in the video that Honey Boo Boo couldn't join the family trip as she has her final exams in the same week.
However, June noted that Honey Boo Boo would join them via FaceTime.
The social media users showed support to Honey Boo Boo as she failed to join the family vacation.
A social media user wrote, "Finals are coming up. Too bad the trip couldn't have been out west to Colorado."
Another person commented, "It's so unfortunate that she can't make it since it appears that time is so limited for Anna. I would guess she has finals coming up."
Another fan noted, "Makes me so sad for her that she can’t be there for this trip. I can’t imagine how she feels not being able to be there with the rest of her family right now. Hoping they get another chance to all be together for the holidays."
Another follower said, 'It has got to be so heart-wrenching for her."
Another internet user questioned, "Is there a reason why the trip couldn’t be rescheduled to accommodate Alana’s schedule?"
