Honey Boo Boo, Mama June Timeline: Shocking Sex Scandal That Led To Show’s End
Mama June, aka June Shannon, and her ex-con boyfriend, child molester Mark Mcdaniel are doing nothing wrong. The latest report from TMZ states that the local county sheriff’s department in June’s hometown says that the two are free to date and are not committing a crime by doing so.
Law enforcement officials were inundated by horrified callers, alerting them that Mama June was seen around town with a newly released prisoner, the same man who was accused of molesting her daughter 10 years earlier.
Police have made it clear that they will not be pressing charges against Mcdaniel because the molestation victim is now an adult and out of the home. His past charges do not legally affect being in the presence of Honey Boo Boo, aka Alana Thompson. This most likely means that the local department of child protective services will not be able to take action.
Looks like the now vilified Mama June is free to carry on a relationship with Mark Mcdaniel. Ex fans of the Honey Boo Boo show, along with members of the public are enraged by the photos that exposed Mama June’s relationship with the convicted sex offender.
News of the relationship broke last week. Most hated woman Mama June denied the rumors, even posting a heartfelt video to her fans, but TMZ produced more photos to show that June was a liar, and that she was indeed dating the former criminal. It also came to light that Mark Mcdaniel was June Shannon’s true love, and that she had constantly compared Sugar Bear to Mcdaniel throughout their relationship. Sources also say that when Mark Mcdaniel was released from prison, after a 10-year sprint, Mama June dropped Sugar Bear like he was hot, immediately taking up where she left off with Mark Mcdaniel.
Here is how the events unfolded that led to the cancellation of the Here Comes Honey Boo Boo show.
