Honey Boo Boo’s Family Has A Criminal Past

The wild antics of everyone’s favorite pageant family are entertaining on the TV show ‘Here Comes Honey Boo Boo,’ but Alana’s parents have their own family secrets! Find out what they are hiding!

Alana Thompson‘s sassy personality and crazy, self-proclaimed “redneck” lifestyle was so entertaining on Toddlers & Tiaras, the network decided to give her family their own spinoff show. But after the wildly popular premiere of Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, the pageant queen’s parents’ criminal secrets are beginning to surface.

On their reality show, Honey Boo Boo, her mama June “Coupon Queen,” Shannon and dad Mike “Sugar Bear” Thompson seem to enjoy a down-home lifestyle in rural Georgia, including mud-flopping and pigs’ feet-bobbing.

But the skeletons in their closet reveal a not-so-fun past, including allegations of child abuse against Alana, 6, after she was filmed dancing on top of a bar table for money.

Unpaid bills and dues also seem to be a major problem for the family, and former landlord Michael Nelson claimed the Thompsons owe him money in unpaid rent.

“I sued them in 2007 because they owed me $1,500, but I never saw the money,” Michael told Star magazine. Additional funds in unpaid child support put June behind bars in 2008, after she failed to pay the $643 she owed involving her daughter Anna, now 17.

She was locked up for four days, and faced an additional 30 days if she didn’t pay the $643 she owed, a court clerk told Star, but she paid the money and was released.

Alana’s dad “Sugar Bear” was convicted of burglary in 1994 in Hancock County, according to the Georgia Department of Corrections. Although he was paroled after 16 months, it was revoked when he was arrested again for possession of a firearm in 1998. He spent four more months in jail.

What do YOU think HollyMoms? Are you surprised about June and Mike’s criminal pasts?

I think that honey boo boos mother June Shannon is a lair and that she has been using that little girl to pay her bills which is wrong. I aslo think that Honey boo boo is a child who’s out of control because of her mother. I think that June Shannon should be ashamed of herself and also in put in prison for what she’s putting that little girl threw!!!!! June Shannon makes me sick!!!!!

Hey Dummy….through….not threw….that’s what they do to igmoes like you….THROW them under the bus…..where would you get all the jails to hold all the Moms like June? There are lots more than not. She does not harm her kids. She sincerely loves them. They live a simple life. Shame…you are shameful where spelling is concerned….GET A DICTIONARY!!! or ask one of your abused kids or grandkids

Being “fat and stupid” doesn’t make you a bad person. Some people aren’t self righteous and priveledged like you!…..that still doesn’t give you the right to put these people down and be RUDE…..you make me sick, I hope you have a FAT daughter and son and husband and they all have to live at home cause noone wants rude fat people!!!! Look in the mirror….what do you see? an idiot looking back 4 SURE!!!

I think the point this article is making is that they’re not fit to be parents, which we kind of already new by their exploitation of their child, basically child abuse. It’s driving the kid nuts, she looks and acts retarded. The mom is the number 1 ugliest person I’ve ever seen, honestly, and disgustingly obese, I think she’s trying to live through her child and using her to make herself feel better (in addition to for money).

I think June is a real Mom. She has troubles and doesnt hide them. No one is ugly….you are ugly by writing these comments and hiding behind the name honey poo poo. The word is “KNEW”….not “NEW”…a genius? NOT! Are you fit to be a parent? Is this what you teach your children to write about the less fortunate? To judge people on their looks? You are a peice of crap….

She has a boyfriend, doubt you do since you are so judgemental and hung up on beauty and body image. If you do have a mate…he won’t stay long! Lord help him if he gains weight!!!

I think you are missing the point. A bad mother lets her kids eat what ever they want when they want and do what ever they want to do with out correcting them. Look at the youngest girl she is at a high risk for juvenile diabetes because of her un healthy lifestyle. June may be a great person but she is an unfit mother for sure.

This family epitomizes white trash! I am not entertained by exploitation of a seven-year old little girl…it’s just sad and oh so wrong!

ppl need to back off. dig up dirt on any family in America and I can guarantee you you’ll find problems and past records, and i can promise you no one will care. it’s only new if it makes ya’ll money.. so you critics need to just realize, ppll are ppl. the past is the past. we’ve had celeberties who have done drugs, in their past, yet they a re graciously loved today.. just becasue there is a chance to screw with someone, find problems from the past, doesnt make them bad ppl. it make you all money and sites and magazines such like yourself. so forget about and report about things that are actually important..

EVERYTHING in their past is relevant due to the fact that they have MINORS in the home!

So did Bill and Hillary Clinton….your point. People learn from mistakes. Nothing wrong with learning and trying to improve. Child protection services were at the home and the kids were fine. Have they been to your home yet?

On the basis of what? I see a home full of love, and laughter. You think she should be put in some “foster home” and separated from her family? How sad and judgemental. You are the reason people can’t be real. You need to look up the word Grace! Good luck to you.

TLC should do a better job. No one is really interested in trailer park trash making money off of child exploitation. You think TLC would have learned after the horrible Gosselin fiasco!
