Honey Boo Boo Mother Defends, Explains Arrest Record
by Hilton Hater at .It's a matter of public record: June Shannon, the… eccentric mother of six-year old Alana Thompson (aka "Honey Boo Boo") was arrested in 2008 on a count related to a child support issue.
She also faced a theft charge around that time, but both cases were dismissed.
In March, meanwhile, child services looked into the Thompsons after Honey Boo Boo was featured on an episode of Toddlers and Tiaras chugging a mixture of Red Bull and Mountain Dew dubbed by Alana as "Go-Go Juice."
Is that something the family gives its toddler often? No, June tells People: "It was a one time only thing. We don't do it."
What about when a video surfaced of Honey Boo Boo dancing on a bar, another incident investigated by the the Georgia Division of Family and Children Services?
"It was the worst four days of my whole entire life," June says, explaining that the bar appearance was "a meet-and-greet at a concert" and: "After I left, I realized, 'I'm not gonna put Alana in that situation again because it was crazy.'"
Coming from June Shannon, that's really saying something.

the views expressed in reality shows do not express my views as an american. it's a shame that the trashiest attention seekers on reality tv are making bank. im also embarassed that the show " 2 and a Half Men " paid Charlie Sheen & Ashton Kutcher so much $. Lol what about Facebook. Getting an education nowadays isnt enough to make an impact. Seems like uneducated freeloaders are the future for my country.
