‘Mama June’ Pumpkin Slammed For Enabling Underage Drinking
Mama June Shannon’s daughter, Pumpkin Efird is being slammed for enabling underage drinking. She has not been a fan favorite lately like she once was. Viewers appreciated how she stepped up for her younger sister, Alana ‘Honey Boo Boo’ Thompson, and was the mother she always needed. However, a lot has changed and that respect has all but faded. Keep reading for more details.
Mama June Pumpkin Slammed For Enabling Underage Drinking
The holidays are going to be very hard for Mama June and her family this year. December will mark one year since Anna Cardwell passed away from Stage 4 adrenal carcinoma. They had wanted to do an early Christmas since it was highly unlikely that she would make it to the 25th. Sadly, she passed before they even had the chance and she died on December 9th, 2023, leaving the family heartbroken. They tried to do their best to honor her and celebrate but custody battles and other issues popped up.
Then, in August 2024, Pumpkin Efird filed for divorce from Josh Efird after six years of marriage and nearly a decade together. They had four children and helped raise Alana ‘Honey Boo Boo’ Thompson when June was deep in her addiction. Fans had always praised Pumpkin for being an incredible mother figure. However, when she and Josh split, it came out she had been seeing his cousin, Darrin Kitchens. A new side of Pumpkin was unleashed and it was questionable. Now, a recent post aimed at Alana has fans up in arms.
After seeing this message to Alana, followers were living over Pumpkin Efird enabling underage drinking. Alana ‘Honey Boo Boo’ Thompson is only nineteen years old so she is not of legal drinking age. Therefore, how can she bring any alcohol? A Reddit thread was started to address the whole situation. The OP wrote this:
- Just Pumpkin promoting underage drinking in a public post, no biggie. Alana’s a college student dating an older man, of course we know she’s no angel but, be real, you’re a “celebrity” in the public eye, can we at least TRY a little discretion?
Already Enough Drama
There has been enough scrutiny with Alana Thompson and her boyfriend, Dralin Carswell. She was barely sixteen when they started dating whereas he was twenty. He had a run-in with the law leaving Pumpkin Efird to pick up Alana at the police station. It then came out that Alana did not really live with Pumpkin during her last two years of high school. Rather, she stayed with Dralin or their other sister, Jessica Shannon. So, the life Pumpkin portrayed on Mama June: Family Crisis was all for show. Fans do understand that college kids drink but just felt it was tacky for Pumpkin to enable it publicly.
Do you think Pumpkin needs to censor herself a little bit more, especially when it comes to what she says and does on social media? Let us know in the comments below.
