AceShowbiz - Mama June breaks her silence after TLC canceled her reality show "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo". The cancellation was made amidst concerns following report that she reconciled with her ex who was sent to jail for forcing her then 8-year-old relative to perform oral sex.
The family matriarch posts a video message with a caption that reads, "This a truth video and answering some of ya'll questions over the last few months since we have had to stay quiet and hope this helps and a appreciation video to all our awesome fans over yrs."
"Just got a phone call this morning from TLC, and as of right now there will be no more production of the show," Shannon says. "The statement of me dating a sex offender is totally untrue. Pumpkin [her daughter Lauryn] has openly said that I am not dating him and also his son."
"I would not ever put my kids in danger," she continues. "I love my kids too much. That is my past. I have not seen that person in 10 years and don't seem to want to see that person."
"We just want to thank from the bottom of our hearts the support that we've had from our fans since May 2012," she adds. "This experience has been awesome to us." She says the show gave her daughters opportunity to "do things that they would not have normally been able to do."
Shannon also addresses her breakup with Mike "Sugar Bear" Thompson. "Me and Sugar really have broke up, but we are friends and we have stayed civil. We are better off friends than we were a couple. We actually came to notice that," she explains.
"Things happen for a reason in life. You live and learn. The fan page has stayed quiet for a while because TLC has kind of told us to hush hush. But that is pretty much what is going on. We will update later on. We wanted to let you know from the bottom of our hearts that we actually love ya'll."
