June Shannon is an American TV personality star who rose to stardom after appearing on a beauty pageant show with her daughter in 2011 and then consequently starred in a reality TV series with her family.

She has starred in another successful reality TV series called From Not to Hot which was based mostly on her journey to wellness and how she struggled with obesity.

Here Comes Honey Boo Boo

After the impressive performance on the pageant show, June grabbed the opportunity for a reality TV series and starred in a new series with mainly her youngest daughter Alana who she affectionately referred to ‘Honey Boo Boo’. The show was generally focused on Alana as well as the other family members as they went about their normal Georgian lives.

While the show was generally a success, it received mostly bad reviews from critics. The scandalous romantic shenanigans of June did not help with this and actually led to the cancellation of the show after it was rumored that she was involved with a sex offender despite vehement denial from members of the family. The show was subsequently cancelled and after a short lapse, the final episodes which had been produced at the time of the cancellation were aired in April 2017 as a final.
