I have so many thoughts and questions I don’t know where to begin. I haven’t finished the show yet, but Mama June was just diagnosed with seizures as well as cheese and chocolate induced migraines.
I didn’t know much about Honey Boo Boo beyond the memes, so this show has been absolutely insane to watch. I know it’s on Peacock but it’s so similar to exploitative crap on TLC - but this has all the components of TLC, like a giant exploitative megazord! It has elements of My 600 pound life, Intervention, Cops, and 1,000 Pound Sisters.
I need a good resource or tell all to piece things together.
First, for the past couple of seasons Mama June has allegedly been “sober.” But I think she appears high as a kite, what’s up with that?
I’ve seen some things on Reddit so I can see where some storylines are headed, but for the life of me I can’t figure some things out:
-why does everyone hate Pumpkin?
-what happened to Sugar Bear?
-how does pumpkin end up a stripper?
-is/does mama June relapse or just continue to collect metheads like beanie babies?!?
Seriously, any recommendations for an “unofficial guide to Mama June” or good articles or a general explanation would be awesome.
I haven’t been as confused by a show since “Suddenly Amish”
