Mama June just admitted to something crazy. She actually confessed that she used to steal from her own kids. It looks like she doesn’t even feel that bad about it.
Not too long ago, there was a crazy clip going around from the new season of Mama June: Family Crisis. In it, Honey Boo Boo, aka Alana, accused Mama June of something insane. She was in tears when she said that June didn’t even care that she took their money.
Alana basically accused her own mom of stealing from her kids. That was already pretty crazy, but it soon got even more insane.
Mama June didn’t actually even try to deny it. She said that she used it for her substance addiction as if that was a good excuse.
But let’s be honest – that’s not a good enough explanation at all. I mean, she’s their mother. She was supposed to be taking care of her kids and supporting them.
Instead, she apparently stole from them. It was all because she wanted to spend that money on herself and her own issues.
That’s just not okay on any level. It makes her seem like an extremely selfish mom.
It’s especially crazy that she showed no remorse in that clip with Alana. It seemed like she just didn’t care at all. Almost as if she’d moved on from what happened – so she expected her kids to do the same.
But that’s just not how it works. She stole their money. Alana was clearly very upset about it. It was really rude for Mama June to just dismiss her concerns and feelings like that.
Mama June First Stole From Her Kids 10 Years Ago
Then again, maybe we shouldn’t be surprised by any of this. Mama June’s actions and choices over the years have almost always favored her. Even when it meant that her behavior would hurt her kids.
She seems to be the kind of person who will do whatever it takes to get what she wants, even if it’s at the expense of her own children.
What’s also crazy is that it seems like Mama June’s husband might be somewhat involved in all this. On the show, Alana confronted him about knowing about the stealing.
Alana also later said something that was completely fair. She said: “I mean, she’s my mother, but if I gotta put her in jail, I will.”
That seems like a pretty drastic thing to say. But at the same time, I do feel like it was justified.
Mama June’s kids have been through a lot because of her. This is really just one more thing that she did for her own selfish gains.
It’s shocking that she would actually steal from her children. But then again, it isn’t exactly surprising.
We actually first heard about her stealing from her kids about 10 years ago. Back then, it seemed like she stole their reality TV money. She allegedly did it because she wanted to buy her then-boyfriend a car and some other items.
That already sounds super messed up, but it gets worse.
Mama June Dated the Man Who Harmed Her Daughter
You won’t believe who Mama June was dating back then. It was none other than Mark McDaniel. If that name sounds familiar, that’s because he was reportedly the reason why Here Comes Honey Boo Boo was canceled.
Mama June and Mark used to date. Then, they broke up for a while because he went to prison.
Mark pled guilty to harming a child in 2003. As a result of his actions, he had to spend 10 years in prison.
What’s shocking is that his victim was actually Anna Cardwell, Mama June’s own daughter. Anna sadly recently passed away. When she was alive, she had a very complicated relationship with her mom, which makes sense.
After Mark left prison, Mama June did something unbelievable. She actually got back together with Mark once he was free again. Even though this was the same man who’d harmed her own daughter.
That really just goes to show how selfish she can be. Most parents would never even go near a person like that.
Mama June actually got into a relationship with him. Then she allegedly stole from her kids to buy him a car.
This accusation actually came from Anna herself. She said that all of the kids were supposed to have trust funds with over $30,000 in them.
Anna claimed that at some point, that money just disappeared. She said that she called the bank and asked about the funds.
She was told that she didn’t have $30,000 in the account. Instead, there was supposedly only $17 and 90 cents there.
Anna and Mama June Had a Complicated Relationship
Anna accused Mama June of stealing that money for Mark’s car and other things. Which, if true, would just be completely insane. It would mean that Mama June stole her daughter’s money to pay for a car for someone who harmed that same daughter.
It makes sense that Anna and Mama June had such a complicated relationship. Although June actually said that Anna’s claims were not true.
She said that she never bought Mark a car and that all of the money was still there. She claimed that she only took out the money that she gave Anna to live on every month, plus an additional sum to cover cell phone bills.
It’s hard to say what the truth is. But with the more recent allegations, it’s hard to believe that Mama June wouldn’t steal that money from Anna. She literally admitted that she did steal money from her kids to buy substances.
Other than the money, Mama June is currently dealing with another complicated issue. After Anna passed away, everyone wanted to know what would happen to her two daughters, Kaitlyn and Kylee.
Anna’s ex-husband, Michael Cardwell, ended up getting custody of their daughter, Kylee. But Anna’s other daughter, Kaitlyn, isn’t Michael’s biological daughter. She had to go somewhere else.
Mama June is currently looking after Kaitlyn. She and Michael are actually in a custody battle over her.
Despite not being her biological father, Michael is a parental figure in Kaitlyn’s life. He’s fighting for custody of her because he cares about her and wants the two daughters to stay together.
Mama June Wants Full Custody of Kaitlyn
Mama June is fighting back. She feels like she should have custody of Kaitlyn. She also claims that Kaitlyn wants to stay with her.
Mama June told TMZ: “At the end of the day, the girls have lost their mother, so why put them through this.” I mean, I kind of see her point.
But I don’t think Michael is trying to put the kids through anything. I think he’s just trying to look after them.

He said that Anna always supported him in developing an independent relationship with Kaitlyn – even after they got divorced. He supposedly always visited her, whenever he visited Kylee.
It’s clear that all he cares about is Kaitlyn’s well-being, which honestly explains why he doesn’t want Kaitlyn to stay with Mama June. He doesn’t seem to think that she’s the right person to look after another child.
It totally makes sense. I mean, she couldn’t even raise Alana on her own. Because of all of Mama June’s problems, Alana had to go live with her older sister, Pumpkin.
