I really always saw the Honey Boo Boo craze as our generations version of looking at the freaks in the circus. It looked obvious that the mother was mishandling the money and had a bus full of toxic men floating around to grift her and potentially abuse those kids. it was gross when it first came out and its horrifying now.
Yeah- Toddlers & Tiaras was the tipping point that made me stray from Dancing Moms and any minor-centric shows (so basically I watched What Not to Wear and Say Yes to the Dress 🤣) It was too real for me and ‘Drop Dead Gorgeous’ was a satire with teens! All this to say, I am not surprised of all the abuse and exploitation the children were exposed to- and for that reason, I do think it’s fair for her to ‘e-beg’ we spent hours enjoying hers and other children’s prime-time abuse, she deserves it.
i really hope alanna and the other girls sue the shit outa their mom, they all deserve that money and, frankly, compensation for the hell mama june put them through
What about her dad? Has put any money away for Alanah? He must have got some money in the divorce. Was he interested in monitoring any of this for his child?
Mama june is the same age as my mom. Insanity. Also maybe this is a stupid opinion from me, but if anyone enjoyed those shows and has money, sending a $1 or $2 to Alana is probably a good thing. She gave up most of her childhood privacy to be a national sideshow that was internationally made fun of for years. She will probably never outrun what is honestly infamy (like most big TLC reality). She truly has suffered the consequences of our mindless entertainment, the cruel jokes, the fatshaming. Even if her mom should have saved it for her, we in a way also stole her childhood by refusing to look away as the trainwreck ensued. alana was the reason they got the deal. And the main premise of the show was humiliating and exploitative for all of June's daughters.
I don't even think it is shocking that she is 44 NOW. It is more shocking to me that she was in her early thirties THEN. Because I really thought she looked 44 then.
Apparently, Alana lived with her way too old boyfriend Dralin since she was like 16 and just lived with Pumpkin for the show. Why would anyone allow a then MINOR to live with a not-related 20 or 21 year old?!
Honestly it’s no excuse but I lived in the area they live in and it’s quite common for 20-22 year old to date 16-17 year old. Southern Georgia is weird
One of the ironic aspects of this whole story is that I remember their episode that was all about couponing, back when couponing was popular. So when y’all were struggling, she had at least SOME strategies in place to keep expenses low. After a little bit of steady fame, now all that responsibility went out the window. It’s a tough situation, especially for her children. 🥶
Coogen laws also apply in the state of Illinois. Recently my state implemented a new law where parents must put funds aside for children involved in any type of child labor work for the entertainment industry. hopeful more states will put the child's interest first and make sure they are receiving what they deserve. Also I completely forgot about how Anna, Jessica, and Pumpkin would have received money as well since they were minors during the filming of Honey Boo Boo.
@@VicvicW before there was social media, there was tv. If children’s rights barely exist legally (as in the individual child, not the parents’ right TO the child) in USA, and in entertainment they’re an asterisk at best if you live in like 4 states. TBH, child influencers are not even a variable in this already nonexistent equation of children’s rights. That’s why I find the most cynical beings in existence are the ones spouting ‘think of the children’ because it’s always to distract from actual issues- how about demanding the dignity to exist for children instead of a ‘thought’ first and foremost.
So about Anna’s kids at around 14:50 the oldest one has a different father from her siblings that is not present in her life I don’t remember why (I believe she is an orphan and lost both her parents sadly). So Anna’s husband and father of the other children has raised her for her entire life as his own. She calls him Dad and they are a happy family. It’s sick that Mama June would want to take that loving dynamic away from her grandchild that hasn’t ever been treated as lesser where she is now
It's legal stealing. June only saved the minimum she had to for Alana and since she didn't have to save money for any of the other girls, everything she did was legal but it was definitely stealing and definitely morally wrong. With HBB and June's shows, there should have been a little bit going to everyone. Alanna did the Masked Singer and DWTS Jr and SHE DID ALL THE WORK!!! That Coogen account should have had most of her money from those two shows in it and now Alanna barely has enough money to cover her college
I haven't followed all of this mess. I do know that what people show online doesn't mean a dang thing for their actual finances. We don't know how she's going to college, if she's got loans, scholarships, grants, etc; I don't judge anyone who works their way through school but I don't think we should judge people who don't. It absolutely sucks to work and go to school at the same time. What school you go to does matter, too; you might be able to get a job from wherever, but you're not necessarily going to get the same education. Whether that's worth it depends entirely on the person. The question of whether she should get the money she earned is entirely separate. Yes. She should. If it's spent, it might be impossible now. It might even cost all of that 33K to even try to find any of the rest of it, and then what does she have? It sounds a little grabby to be like "this should be six figures" but consider that this woman had her entire life changed for TV, that she worked hours and hours as a child. Everyone deserves to be paid for the work they've done. Even if she's doing great right now, she still deserves her money. As for the gofundme or whatever, I got no opinion. Everyone on social media asks for money in one way or another. "Buy my sponsored stuff. Support me on Patreon. I've got merch." Her story is as compelling as many others: "I got screwed out of my college fund by my abusive mom and now I need help" is not even that uncommon.
my cousin had an obsession with honey boo boo back in the day, and honestly seeing it when i was younger scared me a lot for no reason. now i understand why i was scared 😭
I don't watch reality TV (never enjoyed it), but i am really enjoying your summaries and recaps of the drama surrounding it. It sucks that people are so shitty, but I think there's something in us that makes it hard to look away
Couldve swore they used sugarefree irl. Anecdotally sugarfree lowcalorie energy drinks ALWAYS hit me way harder than regular ones. Something about the fake sugar and lack of anything but caffeine really makes my eyes twitch where coffee wont.
4:48 “I don’t know how to say this to be RUclips safe” And just like that, we are one step closer to dystopia. We can’t even share vital information about the evils in our world because it might upset some capitalist overlord 😢
I remember there was a kid in my class in high school who loved Honey Boo Boo and would roll his eyes whenever anyone commented on how weird it was or how exploitative it was, etc. it’s so weird how people will just…defend stupid things cuz they don’t wanna get critiqued
Good summary. I stopped watching when the TLC show was pulled so I didn't really know everything that happened after that. I knew she had dated the one sex offender, but I didn't know she had done that multiple times. I had a pretty low opinion of her before, but even more so now. I guess at least Alana didn't become pregnant. Teenage pregnancy tends to be a cycle in families.
For some reason my mom really liked From Not to Hot so I wstched the family spiral. She chose Gino over Alana so many times, it was heartbreaking. Seeing Alana be told by her mother is leavjng AGAIN with Gino.
Morally and logically she spent the kids portion of the money legally she put 15% in their coogan account that they can't access until the age of 18 legally she is not a thief but as a mother she robbed her kids and they will never have justice or be repaid it has nothing to do with drugs she was robbing them before and doesn't deserve the title of mother
I loved Here Comes Honey Boo Boo. I loved the show so much that I named my puppy BooBoo Honey Child. LOL. I am so sad how everything turned out the way it did. I am also surprised June is so much younger than me! I thought she was born in the late 60s!
2:33 oh no, there were already memes, and they were definitely memed to hell and back, though mostly June and Alana. It was crazy to grow up with these people as americas royalty (that line was too real) and even before I knew anything was wrong I just felt so uncomfortable seeing things about the family.
What really irks me is that when she lost weight, everyone was like “slay queen” as if she didn’t allow her children to be abused. But I guess all that matters as a woman is what you look like, not who you are as a person.
so i legit figured her name was first name Honey last name Boo-Boo, so you had June Boo-Boo but i only knew about this family from cultural osmosis and i do not have the highest praise of stuff like toddlers in tiaras
I appreciate the video cause tbh I am so out of the loop on this entire family I was a tween when she blew up so I truly did not care one single bit about who she was so nowadays I’m interested in what all the hullabaloo was about lol
Huge changes happened with JoJo Siwa after your video so I'm expecting massive changes in the Honey Boo Boo extended universe after this. Its like you can tell the future or something.
Alanna has been entertaining the masses since she was far to young to be there and didn't get the money she was due so I look at Alanna using social media now as her way of getting the money she should have been getting paid directly to her in a way June can't touch it
i dont know anything about it really beyond the old publicized stories about how much crack or coke she was doing with her runaway boyfriend, so yes. yes she did spend all that money on blow
I loved watching toddler and tiaras and found this whole thing interesting until Mama June from not to hot and then it got weird. Looking back, I can see all of it was crazy, but as a young teen, I just found it fascinating.
I actually saw Alana at the Georgia national fair in Perry Georgia a few years ago. She could have went to middle Georgia State university for the nursing degree
Do we want you to get into the whole family lure? YES PLEASE!I really wanna know where mama June's obsession with fame really comes from but honestly everyone except you is a boring storyteller 😬🤪as always, your video's more than cool,keep it up sis!🩷🎀✨️

Well I assumed what they were doing on the show was paid for by the show.
Please keep up the longer videos they're awesome
I second this!
Heavy agree
💯. I try to avoid shorts but stay subbed because I love the longer videos.
But please invest in a mic or wear an AirPod! The audio is killing me
Yes but please get a mic!!!!
you’re like that cool cousin that’s a few years older than me that comes over for sunday dinners and fills me in on all the family drama
I love this for us hahahaha

Dude I choked on air laughing. That knocked the wind right outta me 😂
Thank you for being you
i really hope alanna and the other girls sue the shit outa their mom, they all deserve that money and, frankly, compensation for the hell mama june put them through
I feel so bad for Alana, this is actually illegal in some states so I wonder if anything will happen.
What about her dad? Has put any money away for Alanah? He must have got some money in the divorce. Was he interested in monitoring any of this for his child?
@punkybrewstar83 Sugar bear is a literal deadbeat just like june and Alana clearly dislikes him
Mama june is the same age as my mom. Insanity.

that's what i was thinking but i was tryna to look up exactly what he did just to be sure lol
It’s honestly a miracle honey boo boo survived drinking all those Gogo juices because my god
I was just thinking the same thing! I am horrified she was drinking all that crap
Agreed im surprised she didn't get diabetes @@Boots_293
The crazy thing is that Anna was the same age as me but June is more than 20 years younger than my mom
Anna was six years older than me but June is eleven years younger than my mom.
she said she chose the school in colorado bc it has one of the best nursing programs and they’re giving her a partial scholarship.
I really love that for her!
Dude mama June is 44? Shes only 14 years older than I am? 😮 Im shook.
She’s only 9 years older than me?!? That’s really fucking wild.
I don't even think it is shocking that she is 44 NOW. It is more shocking to me that she was in her early thirties THEN. Because I really thought she looked 44 then.
I’m sorry she’s 44??? She’s only 10 years older than me. What in the world.

i wasnt paying attention NOT THE DIET MOUNTAIN DEW NO
i think alana wanted to go to college out of state to be away from mama june and start her adult life as alana instead of honey boo boo.
First baby at 14 and from GA that’s all we need to know about why that family is such a MESS 😭😭
I just LOVE listening to you talk

It’s filling in gaps for the drama I never understood!
The horrible realization that Honey Boo Boo is literally only like 8 months younger than me
I thought she was like 16 this whole time.
I remember there was a kid in my class in high school who loved Honey Boo Boo and would roll his eyes whenever anyone commented on how weird it was or how exploitative it was, etc. it’s so weird how people will just…defend stupid things cuz they don’t wanna get critiqued
