Is Lauryn ‘Pumpkin’ Efird really that close with Mama June after all of her childhood trauma? They have had so many ups and downs and now fans are confused by their dynamic. What exactly is going on? Read on for more details on the situation.

Pumpkin Close With Mama June After Childhood Trauma?

Growing up was not easy for the kids of Mama June. She had four daughters and was not exactly certain who belonged to whom. Viewers mainly saw her relationship with Sugar Bear Thompson who was Alana ‘Honey Boo Boo’ Thompson’s father. It did not come out until much later that he had not been so kind to the girls, especially Lauryn ‘Pumpkin’ Efird. More so, it was June and the Here Comes Honey Boo Boo producers who helped cover it up. Then, as they got older, Anna Cardwell was estranged from her mother while June became fixated on men. She used them as a crutch for so long, eventually abandoning ship for Geno Doak and a substance addiction.

Pumpkin took in Honey Boo Boo when she was a new mom and a kid herself. Now it seems that the two are super close and Redditors are calling it out. A thread was just started to acknowledge this, with the OP writing:

    • Pumpkin….WHAAAAT?! Not you allowing your mother to watch your child after all of the horrible horrible sh!t she done to you and your siblings…not limited to the SA of your own sister then taking you and your BABY sister around the P3D0 whom harmed your sister.
@pimpinp1 If you mad keep scrolling. Cause yep it’s about you 🤭😘 #DidYouYawn #foryoupage #mylana @lanaaaa in the houseeee 🥳 ♬ Pretty Boy Swag – Soulja Boy

They went on to note that Pumpkin’s husband, Josh Efird is not a stand-up guy so why are they surprised? Immediately, one person chimed in with this smoking gun:

      • She also defended McDaniel, Anna’s molester, because SHE thought McDaniel was her father. She has always thrown Anna into the fire and never cared for her just like June did. She’s super self centered and a complete b*tch. She has been like that ever since she was young. She was never a good person.

The Hits Keep Coming

For a very long time, Pumpkin and Honey Boo Boo have openly taken jabs at Mama June for not being there. Yet, they went to therapy with Dr. Ish and dealt with Anna Cardwell’s cancer as a family. So, that may have been what brought them together. However, this season of Family Crisis will see June possibly stealing her daughter’s college fund which is unforgivable. Did anyone else think it was suspicious how Pumpkin had suddenly forgiven her mom?

  • No one in the history of TV has received such a flattering (and false) edit as Pumpkin being portrayed as the sensible and mature one.
  • “Punkin” is just as bad as June. I agree. Like mum, like daughter, smh
  • I feel so badly for her kids. They don’t stand a chance. Why people like that repopulate I will never understand.

It looks like followers feel the cycle will just continue but hopefully, someone is strong enough to break it. Do you think it’s off that Pumpkin and Mama June as suddenly thick as thieves? Or, do you believe it is all for money and a little bit of Anna? Let us know in the comments below.
