Honey Boo Boo

Late this summer, we reported that 16-year-old Alana Thompson was dating a 20-year-old college student.

But many didn't get the memo until Alana and her much older boyfriend Dralin Carswell went Instagram official.

Alana Thompson said in a recent interview that she no longer wants to be known as Honey Boo Boo because she's moved way on from that period of her life.

We totally get it and we're proud of the former Toddlers & Tiaras star for taking such a step.

Alana Thompson hasn't been "Honey Boo Boo" in a long time. She's a 16-year-old high school student.

In fact, her family's fame has made it difficult to make real friends.

Alana Thompson is, like so many 15-year-olds, undaunted by haters on social media.

In fact, she never hesitates to clap back at trolls who try to harsh her vibe.

Usually, the return of a popular reality show is cause for excitement.

But every time a new season of Mama June: From Not to Hot is at hand, we get more than a little anxious.
