more deets:

And, just when you thought this story could not get any skankier, one of Mama June’s daughters, the now 20-year old Anna Cardwell (aka Chickadee), has come forward saying she was a victim of Mark McDaniel at age eight (McDaniel got out of prison this past March). That’s a reversal from this morning, when Anna was quoted by Radar, saying “I know for a fact it’s not true,” in re the reports about her mother’s rekindled relationship with the man who molested her, adding, “The person behind this, all I got to say is he or she is trying to tear the family apart, which isn’t right one bit.” TLC, which cut ties to the show after confirming details of June’s renewed relationship with McDaniel, has offered counseling to Anna, the network said. Anna decided to come forward when she became convinced her mother was again seeing McDaniel.

I read they were getting $150,000 per episode. That's like five million plus over the run of the show. She better damn well hang on to as much as she can (but I bet it'll be gone in pretty short order).

I'm ashamed to say I watched it a couple times. She had such a ridiculously unintelligible accent they had to subtitle her at times. My family is originally from the South but I've never seen anyone speak like that.

Ugh, I'd rather stare at a wall than watch on second of anything "Honey Boo Boo" related.

And what exactly are we supposed to be learning from this gem of a show? :\

I remember when TLC used to be a decent channel with interesting shows.

You might be losing custody of your children if you do....

They'll probably run it again once this dies down and she dumps him for the money.
