MAMA June’s boyfriend Geno Doak admitted the couple blew “$50,000 in just days on cocaine.”
He added that the pair couldn’t stop their drug abuse while talking to June’s daughter Pumpkin.
In a clip exclusively shared by Entertainment Tonight from Friday’s episode of Mama June: Road to Redemption, Pumpkin and Geno spoke for the first time since the couple’s arrest.
Back in March 2019, June and Geno were arrested on drug possession charges, including possession of a controlled substance and drug paraphernalia charges in Alabama.
Before their conversation, the 21-year-old said in a confessional interview: “Maybe it’s just time I put my big girl panties on and talk with Geno cause that’s something I just something that I’m eventually gonna have to get over because I want the relationship with my Mama.”
Pumpkin then detailed the “hurt” Geno and June, 41, put her and Alana Thompson, 15, through.
He responded: “Please don’t take this like I’m making excuses cause I’m not. There is no excuse. It shouldn’t have happened, period.
“We began using drugs as kind of recreational, then next thing we knew, we were full fledged addicted.”
Geno continued: “I can look back and see some of the things that we were doing, you know.
“Spending all of our money, pawning things, not talking to you guys.
“Now looking back on that, it’s like what the hell? How could we have done that, you know? Why did we do that?
“So I can see that now, being clear headed, but at the time the drugs clouded our brain so much that you see what we did.”
He then recalled when they were at their worst, sharing: “Imagine standing at the counter of a hotel bathroom for three or four days.
“Literally- my legs would be killing me, my back would be killing me- and we still stood there and did cocaine for days upon days.
“We’d say, ‘Hey man, this is screwed up. Why are we doing this? We blew through another $50,000. What the hell? We need to stop.'”
Geno continued: “It’s like, what the hell were we thinking? How could we have done that?”
He concluded: “Addiction’s horrible, man.”
After June’s arrest, her Pumpkin made a statement saying: “Hey guys, as you know, you’ve seen the stuff out in the media and our family is going through a rough patch,”
“But this year alone we have had a lot of happiness.”
A few months later, Alana chose to move out of her mothers house and moved in with her sister Pumpkin who now serves as her guardian.
