THE PAST ISN’T OVER –
May 17, 2025 – Former child star Alana Thompson claims Mama June chose drugs and men over her daughter while squandering her reality fortune. Behind Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson’s pageant dresses and charismatic personality was a little girl navigating a storm of chaos, emotional neglect and her mom’s drug addiction.
In her new Lifetime biopic, “I was Honey Boo Boo,” Thompson pulls back the curtain on the trauma she endured while growing up in the spotlight, beginning at the young age of 6.
“For me, it’s not about fame, and it’s not about the money,” she said. “Honestly, my story is simple. It’s about a mom and a daughter and breaking the cycle of emotional abuse.”
