MAMA June and her boyfriend Geno Doak claim to be sober after months of struggle with substance abuse.
Mama June is estranged from her four daughters, Anna, 26, Jessica, 24, Pumpkin, 21, and Alana, 15, while she improves her well-being while living with Geno in Florida.
In 2019, Mama June abandoned Alana, also known as Honey Boo Boo, and her sisters for troubled boyfriend Geno Doak.
In an episode of Mama June: Family Crisis, Pumpkin and Mama June, 41, reunited after not seeing each other for months as the family matriarch admitted she had done thousands of dollars worth of drugs a day.
She sold her Georgia home at a huge loss for fast cash in October 2019.
“The only reason I sold the house, I was dead f**king broke,” Mama June told her shocked daughter Pumpkin.
“Because you know, at that point, we was doing quite a bit. I mean, it was a couple ounces a day. Our habit was $2,500 a day, if not more.”
June was posting videos from Florida to promote her $30 personalized video messages and other merchandise and was spotted pawning a diamond ring for $1,500 and on Facebook Marketplace in January.
Mama June revealed in an exclusive interview with The Sun that she is working on her relationship with Alana, her youngest daughter, after completing a 25-day rehab stint.
Mama June has claimed to turn to a life of sobriety after posting a video showing off her “blinged-out” six-month sobriety chip on Instagram.
June and Geno, 45, wrapped up a rehab stint, and June revealed that she is now living the “sober life.”
She captioned the video: “Thanks so much to @ginarodriguez n @b_lynnsnail for the gift I love The blinged out six months chip.”
Mama June - whose real name is June Shannon - is a Southern reality TV star.
Born and raised in McIntyre, Georgia, Mama June shot to fame on TLC’s Toddlers and Tiaras after entering daughter Alana, affectionately known as Honey Boo Boo, in a string of beauty pageants.
As a result of the show, the family have been featured in a series of spin-off shows including Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, Mama June: From Not to Hot, and Mama June: Family Crisis.
She said: “That is something I’m very proud of as me and @doakgeno are over six months clean now…”
She told The Sun in March 2021 that she has remained sober for 14 months.
Mama June will be documenting her relationship with her family and sobriety in the series Mama June: From Not to Hot: Road to Redemption which airs Friday, March 19 at 9/8c on WeTV.
Since 2016, June has lost over 300 pounds.
After the insertion of her gastric sleeve, Mama June underwent more surgery to achieve a total body transformation in 2017.
The reality star went under the knife for a breast augmentation, liposuction on her arms and skin removal on her “turkey neck, and “batwing” arms, and stomach – an area where doctors removed nine pounds of excess skin.
All in all, her surgeries cost a whopping $75,000.
In the trailer for the upcoming season of Mama June: Road to Redemption, June admitted she gained 60 lbs during the coronavirus pandemic.
“Look we have put on a little couple extra pounds, she said in the trailer.
“I’ve put on about 60. He’s (Geno) put on about 100. We put on a whole other person. But I’m going to blame it on healthy Covid weight.”
There is some discrepancy with June’s reported net worth, however; according to Celebrity Net Worth, she gets paid $50,000 per episode of her show.
Mama June’s net worth in 2020 is between $1-1.5 million, according to The Cinemaholic and Cheat Sheet.
However, Celebrity Net Worth reports June’s net worth is $50thousand.
Amid the family’s financial woes, this number could fall significantly lower than initially reported.
