It's seems that Mama June has put herself in some hot water for kindling up a new love interest with a registered sex offender. The man she is dating, who molested a child, was recently released from prison in March, and is now involved with matriarch of the hit tv show. If this was any other family, this wouldn't be as big of an issue, but since this family is on a television show, and is connected to a network, TLC has gotten involved and made the following statement.
A TLC network rep said in a statement that "TLC is not currently in production on Here Comes Honey Boo Boo. We are very concerned about this new information and are reassessing the future of the series."
I'm wondering why June would even want to be involved with a man who has a history like that, especially since she has young children of her own. Not only that, but her involvement with this man is putting the show's standing in question. This isn't the first time that a television show has been up in the air due to the involvement of a questionable individual. Duck Dynasty was the center of attention earlier this year when a member of the cast made statements contrary to the networks views. This caused an uproar with viewers when the network announced they were cutting the cast member from the show.
Cast members of well known shows need to keep in mind that they are being watched closely, and that their actions can significantly impact their success. If Mama June was smart, she would cut all ties with this man and show TLC that she is dedicated to the future of Here Comes Honey Boo Boo. If not, she may face the reality of TLC opting out future episodes. Only time will tell what will happen, but hopefully we haven't seen the last of Honey Boo Boo.
