Mama June: Family Crisis: Honey Boo Boo’s Post-High School Plans Revealed

In a recent exclusive interview with The U.S. Sun, Mama June, the reality television star and mother of Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson, shared her daughter’s post-high school plans. The conversation also touched on the topic of Honey Boo Boo starting a family of her own, something that Mama June insists isn’t happening anytime soon.

Alana’s Ambitions: College and a Career

Mama June clarified that her daughter Alana, who is 17, has no plans to emulate her mother and sister Lauryn “Pumpkin” Efird, both of whom welcomed their first children at 17 years old. Rather, Honey Boo Boo eagerly anticipates completing high school and going directly to college, where she aims to achieve her aspiration of working as a neonatal nurse.

Honey Boo Boo’s High School Prom

The proud mother also shared details about Alana’s high school prom, during which the young reality star brought her longtime boyfriend Dralin, 21, as her date. Mama June expressed her joy at being able to attend the event and support her daughter on this special occasion.

Fans of the popular reality TV show can expect to see these family moments and more in the upcoming sixth season of Mama June: Family Crisis, premiering on Friday, May 5 at 9pm ET on WeTV. The season will feature both heartwarming and dramatic moments, including Mama June’s wedding and a therapy session between the estranged mother and daughter.

The Struggle for Reconciliation

In the new season’s trailer, Alana and Mama June are seen attending a weekend therapy session in an attempt to repair their broken relationship. The emotional exchange between the two suggests that rebuilding their bond may be a difficult process, with the therapist warning that not everyone may be ready to move forward.

The tension between the family members is further evident when Alana Thompson has a screaming match with her sister Pumpkin, who is currently Alana’s legal guardian. The 17-year-old appears to be resisting her sister’s efforts to guide her through the college application process. Last year, a judge in Georgia awarded Pumpkin sole custody of Alana, further complicating the family dynamics.

Mama June’s Rocky Relationship with New Husband

Mama June’s love life is also a source of drama in the upcoming season, as her new husband Justin Stroud, 42, accuses her of being a liar just months after their fairytale wedding. The tension between the newlyweds is showcased in the show’s trailer, leaving fans eager to find out what transpires between the couple.
