Honey Boo Boo’s mom says parts of her earlier reality show were “covered up” amid emotional and physical abuse by her ex-boyfriend Sugar Bear.
”This episode is going to show just little piece of our life,” she told host Williams. “It’s going to open a lot of people’s eyes to know that ‘Hey, June wasn’t lying.'”
Shannon — whose bariatric surgery came at Marina Del Rey Hospital — blamed Sugar Bear (Mike Thompson) for the old show leaving out real-life drama.
“Like I said, there’s been several — I can give you Pumpkin’s eye was his fault,” June said, referring to her daughter. “The thing that we showed on ‘Here Comes Honey Boo Boo,’ we never did. The car wreck. Several things that happened on ‘Here Comes Honey Boo Boo’ that was kind of like covered up was because of him.”
Shannon said she and Thompson, the father of Honey Boo Boo, were never legally married, but exchanged vows in a commitment ceremony in 2013.
