Mama June Shannon’s Shocking Drug Timeline, Addicted Her Whole Life?
Before Mama June Shannon arrived on WeTV with the Mama June series, she was on TLC and fans are wondering if she was using drugs when Here Comes Honey Boo Boo aired on the network. When did she start using drugs? Read on to find out.
Mama June Shannon Took Off With Geno Doak
Mama June From Not To Hot revealed the mom of Alan Thompson getting a glow-up. However, she and Geno Doak ended up blowing all her money on a drug binge. Many TLC fans remember the days of Here Comes Honey Boo Boo. At the time, she seemed to be a reasonably good mom. The show seemed light-hearted, and there was way less cussing in front of the kids.
Mama June Shannon changed a lot over the years, both physically, and mentally. Would you have thought that when she was still married to Mike Thomson, (Sugar Bear), she would run off and abandon her sassy daughter, Alana Thomspon, (Honey Boo Boo)? Well, she did, and now, WeTV fans don’t like her very much.
Geno Doak Started His Ex On Drugs?
Some WeTV fans blamed Geno Doak for the drug use. Bear in mind, that many people only found out about Anna Cardwell’s alleged sexual abuse by her mom’s boyfriend, Mark McDaniel in 2014, per People. Incredibly, June stuck with him and fans revised their opinion of Alana’s mom. More crude scenes emerged when she took up with Geno. Remember the producer who walked in on him shaving her down there?
Mama June Shannon ended up arrested for drugs and paraphernalia and she and Geno slid downhill. Then the news arrived that she sold her home and took off, abandoning her daughter. This week, some Here Comes Honey Boo Boo fans wondered when she started using drugs. Was it all Geno Doak’s fault?
Mama June Shannon Took Lots Of Drugs
On Reddit, an OP asked:
it may have already been asked, but was Mama June on drugs while her girls were growing up? I was watching old episodes of HCHBB, and I remember thinking that she was a good mom, I mean, at the time I didn’t know about the situation with Anna or anything like that, but she definitely seemed to have it somewhat together. But then I saw where Pumpkin posted a TikTok with the caption ‘This songs hits different when you grew up with a drug addict,’ or something along those lines. So just wondering if she had ever been on drugs before or if that was something that she only got messed up with when she became involved with Geno.
We TV fans in the know, quickly revealed to the OP that her drug-taking days started when she was still growing up.
- While in rehab or at the end of it June shared her story. She said she had been around drugs her whole life. One sister was on drugs and that sisters husband was a dealer. June started in her teens when she was working several jobs to help.
- By the time she met Geno she was back on meth again. Seems like meth and coke was her two biggest habits she couldn’t shake.
- I always thought she was clean when she was with Sugar Bear, and that was a long time. I think she started using again when they split and Geno came into the picture.
While fans can’t blame Geno Doak for Mama June Shannon’s drug habit, they certainly could point fingers at him for enabling her. Some people opine that after surgery on Mama June: From Not to Hot, she swapped eating for her drug addiction again, and Geno just happened to be around to encourage her.
