Last week, June Shannon appeared on The Doctors to discuss Honey Boo Boo’s weight problems.
Now, it seems that in addition to neglecting her daughter’s health issues, Shannon may have been failing to properly care for herself.
The 35-year-old former reality star was hospitalized over the weekend after her temperature suddenly sky-rocketed.
She was found to be suffering from pneumonia and severe dehydration, and doctors decided to keep her for observation.
June spoke of health problems when she was interviewed by Entertainment Tonight last year, but at the time, most believed that she was simply attempting to deflect criticism and draw attention away from the scandal that had resulted in the cancellation of her show.
June’s relationship with Mark McDaniel – the man who was convicted of molesting her eldest daughter – resulted in a frenzy of media coverage back in October, and as a result of the ensuing outrage, few noticed or cared when Shannon told ET cameras that she may have cancer.
Now, it seems that June may have been speaking the truth with regard to her failing health. Of course, it’s equally possible that her latest scare is unrelated to the symptoms she had previously reported.
It’s not known at this time if Shannon remains hospitalized, or if she’s been released. We’ll have updates on this story as more information becomes available.
