As you probably know by now, June Shannon and her family are going through a crisis.
Late last month, we learned that Anna “Chickadee” Cardwell has been diagnosed with stage 4 adrenal carcinoma, which is “a rare disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the outer layer of the adrenal gland,” according to the National According to the Cancer Institute.
We are all praying for his recovery.
Meanwhile, in the first trailer for the new episode of Mama June: Family Crisis, we see that Shannon and her loved ones have been struggling for a while.
The footage, posted online by Entertainment Tonight, features clips from Shannon’s wedding to her new husband, Justin.
However, the happy mood is interrupted by June’s tenuous relationship with her children.
At one point, for example, we hear Lauryn “Pumpkin” Alphard say that she hasn’t spoken to her mother since the family’s highly publicized court battle over child support for Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson. .
(As a reminder, Lauren took full custody of Alana last year; June will pay child support until Alana turns 18 in August 2023.)
“Why should I forgive her if she’s not going to change her ways?” Lauryn asks in the preview of her mother.
There is also an issue in the video between Mama June and her husband Justin.
“You lied to my mother,” he tells her at one point. “It’s funny, I didn’t realize I got married to a fucking liar.”
(Jane and Justin married last June after mere months of dating.)
Elsewhere, Lauryn speaks about her experience raising her and Josh’s four children apart from Alana. It is very difficult to handle.
“My priority is my family of seven,” she says on air. “It’s a struggle. Alana’s diva attitude reminds me of Mama, and Jessica keeps secrets from me.
The preview concludes with Shannon asking the family to join her for a therapy weekend, where it appears that several sisters and daughters break down.
Mama June says through tears, “I miss you all.” “I do.”
The trailer’s release comes just a week after Alana commented on her sister’s cancer diagnosis.
“That’s what I mean when I say you never really know what someone is doing at home. [N]Oh no matter how famous they are,” she wrote at the time.
,[Y]Yes, I am very famous but normal things happen to me and my family and you all need to realize this as soon as possible.
