Mama June: Photos

Mama June: Photos — Born in August 1979, June Shannon came to fame in 2012 on the TLC show, ‘Toddlers & Tiaras.’ Fans of the reality TV series about child pageant stars fell in love with June and her youngest daughter, Alana ‘Honey Boo Boo’ Thompson. With the nickname Mama June, she seemed destined for fame on small screen. June and Alana were soon the stars of their very own reality TV series, ‘Here Comes Honey Boo Boo,’ which featured more members of the family, including Mama’s three other daughters, Anna ‘Chickadee’ Cardwell, Jessica ‘Chubbs’ Shannon and Lauryn ‘Pumpkin’ Shannon. That show was pulled, however, in 2014 after June was accused of rekindling a romance with her ex-boyfriend, registered child sex offender, Mark McDaniel.

Fortunately for June, she found fame again with the WE tv show, ‘Mama June: From Not to Hot,’ which charted her massive 300-pound weight loss transformation, achieved through diet, exercise and gastric sleeve surgery. She faced legal troubles once again in 2019 with boyfriend Geno Doak. In May 2022, it was reported she wed her boyfriend of several months Justin Stroud in Georgia.

The reality star, 40, stripped down to a two-piece swimsuit as she soaked up the summer sun. The mother-of-four was pictured in Jensen Beach, Florida with boyfriend Geno Doak. But after showing off her figure in the revealing swimsuit, close friends told how they fear she is losing her battle to get fit and drop some dress sizes. A pal revealed: June is 246 lbs which is the highest she has been since her weight loss surgery in 2017. “She has been really trying to lose weight but she still has a hard time staying away from some of her favorites like corn dogs.” June has recently been on a mission to lose weight and embarked on a diet and an exercise campaign including yoga, cycling and jogging. She once weighed 460lbs but lost a staggering 300lbs after an intense exercise regime coupled with gastric and plastic surgery. Since tipping the scales at 160lbs she has now put on some extra weight. The TV star stunned fans during a recent confession in which she claimed she had been spending up to $3,000 a day on crack cocaine. She told viewers of ‘Mama June: From Not to Hot’ was using more than two ounces of the drug. She told the show: “[My drug of choice] has to be cocaine crack. I started snorting it, lost my vision, and then I quit and then I went into using… just smoking crack. It’s weird because if you snort it, it goes up in here.” A source close to the reality star revealed: “Mama June was the worst we’ve ever seen her. She was going through thousands a day on meth and crack cocaine. She lost everything. Mama June and Geno were ready to make a change in their life and get back to the family.”
