Alana Thompson is the 6-year-old known as “Honey Boo Boo Child” on TLC’s “Toddlers and Tiaras.” Her huge personality and hilarious antics made her a favorite on the reality show, but she and her mother have also been the subject of several controversies this year. Alana has been seen using “pageant crack” and dancing on a bar. Yesterday, mother June Shannon defended her daughter on HLN. You’ve Gotta Watch this pageant family.
Not a ‘sleazy bar’
Alana Thompson’s mom sets the record straight on the notorious video showing the little girl dancing on a bar for dollars. Learn why she defends the event.
Bar dancing
If you missed the video that caused this controversy in the first place, we’ve got it for you. This YouTube video shows Alana dancing on top of a bar. You’ve got to see what she’s wearing.
‘Pageant crack’
How do those tiara-wearing toddlers get so peppy onstage? Many of them inhale sugary Pixie Stix to get an energy boost. Watch to decide what’s in Honey Boo Boo’s mysterious “go-go juice.” CNN’s Anderson Cooper pokes fun at the practice on his RidicuList.
The mother should be ashamed of herself. She was given this child by GOD to love and protect, yet she encourages this kind of activity. The mother is gaining publicity through her little girl. She is exploiting this 6 year old and should be held accountable for her actions. Where is DHHS when they're needed?
People make fun of middle east countries where women hide their faces and bodies, and here in the U.S. we allow things like this which are all the way on the opposite side of the pendulum. Sick!
If we could just get this woman and her daughter to cover their entire bodies, with a thick cloth or a box or something, I would be all for it....
Just sayin...
We don't allow this kind of behavior. There are laws against children being in bars and such. The mother allows this kind of behavior. Don't blame America because the mother is useless!
These toddler pageants should be outlawed. It's nothing but sugar-coated child abuse! It's all about the narcissitic mothers living vicariously through these poor children, the welfare of the kids comes second, but then that's nothing new for this current generation of parents. All little girls like to play dress up, but this is not play!
All I can say is wow......I would never allow my grand kids to do this.
at one point i see the tall guy lifting her skirt and what? money in her undies?
This is the sickest thing I have ever seen.
Child Protective Services should immediately remove all these kids from their pathetic, unfit parents.
Have you noticed how huge most of these oinking pageant moms are? These poor kids are nothing but dolls to them and they are trying to get self esteem through the kids. How shameful!
Agree...That mom is one BIG PIG!!! Her daughter should be taken away!
Wow. That mother should not be allowed to have contact with her daughter or any other children.
Disgusting
Her mom looks like trash, by the way does she have a chin? if so how many does she have and where is it? She looks like jaba the hut!
She does! Her head is HUGE!!!! That is disusting what she is doing to her daughter!
This absolutely horrible! Where is child protective services? That mother is a disgusting pig. This mother obviously didnt and doesnt have a life so she is exploiting her child. Shes a loud mouth nobody....What a shame! I hope someone does something about this..
That child is OBESE, and so is her mother. She does not need more sugar. They both need less sugar, and to get off their fat butts and engage in a better pass time – like some physical activity. Disgraceful.
This is just down right wrong. Her mother should be arrested for this. I think its just nasty & dirty. What a mother.
I hear Momma say it was a college bar, but I wonder how many child molesters have seen this story. I'll bet it makes those animals all hot and bothered. Children need to be protected from child molesters, as well as parents like this!
