Mama June Shannon is accused of keeping payment from TLC's "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" and profits from related ventures such as a cookbook for herself. June is sued by her own daughter, Anna Cardwell a.k.a. Chickadee.
The family received around $22,500 per episode. Anna who is now expecting a child with husband Michael Cardwell and has a 2-year-old daughter from a previous relationship claims she is owed $200,000 and her daughter is owed $100,000.
Besides going after her mother, Anna names TLC as another defendant in her lawsuit. She argues that "the network had a duty to protect them, ensuring they'd get what was owed to them."
Mama June calls Anna's accusation "ridiculous." She tells TMZ that the network deposited Anna's money directly into her accounts and she gave Anna a $15,400 check last December as her share of profits when the reality show was canceled.
A spinoff to TLC's "Toddlers & Tiaras" where Alana Thompson was a star, "Honey Boo Boo" ran from 2012 to 2014. It was scrapped after June was reported getting back together with Mark McDaniel, a convicted sex offender who had molested Anna when she was a child.
