June Shannon and Anna Cardwell

June Shannon, famous as “Mama June,” and her 14-year-old daughter Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson made their first TV appearance on TLC’s TV series, Toddlers and Tiaras.

It was Honey Boo Boo’s cute disposition that won the hearts of the audience and made her a household name. The sudden popularity allowed her to be part of several new shows, including Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, which focuses on Alana’s family.

During the show, Alana, aka Honey Boo Boo’s net worth went up to $800,000 and June’s was around $1,500,000. However, the family was also famous for a lot of controversies. The biggest one being June rekindling her relationship with her ex-boyfriend. This was the same guy who tried to assault Anna Cardwell. Thus resulting in TLC canceling all on-going reality TV shows involving the family.
