Alana āHoney Boo Booā Thompsonās manager Gina has signed Lauren āPumpkinā Shannonās daughter Ella up for a photoshoot, and Pumpkin is hesitant to throw Ella into the modeling business. āI just donāt want to make the wrong decision for Ella because, just like Alana, I see how much time itās taken up out of her life,ā Pumpkin admits to Gina in this EXCLUSIVE preview of the April 17 episode of Mama June: Family Crisis. āShe never really got to be a kid.ā As Pumpkin is talking about her concerns, Jennifer Lamb overhears everything when sheās in the kitchen.
Gina tells Pumpkin that she doesnāt have to let Ella do the photoshoot. Jennifer walks over and quips, āWell, you wouldnāt have to do that. Harper could be here in 5 hours.ā Harper is Jenniferās grandchild. āShe would be perfect for any of this. Unlike June and Pumpkin, I know how to raise a kid for showbusiness,ā Jennifer says.
Pumpkin is instantly annoyed that Jennifer has interrupted her conversation with Gina. Even though sheās concerned about the modeling, sheās not about to let Jennifer win. āI have my pros and cons about this photoshoot but let me go ahead and tell you: Harper is nothing compared to Ella. Ella is the cutest model around and thatās a fact,ā Pumpkin says in her confessional. Pumpkin calls out Jennifer for eavesdropping and tells Gina that Ella will be doing the shoot after all.
