NEWSAlana 'Honey Boo Boo' Thompson Shades Mama June on TikTok After Learning She 'Stole' Her College Money
Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson threw shade at her mother, Mama June Shannon, after discovering she spent the money she'd earned as a child star on family expenses.
The incident occurred during a recent installment of Mama June: Family Crisis, when the 18-year-old learned that her university tuition would cost $43,000 per year. After asking her mother to give her access to her savings account that held money she earned from working in reality television, Alana found out that she only had $33,000 to her name — less than one year of tuition.

The Here Comes Honey Boo Boo star took to TikTok on Tuesday, March 26, and appeared to reference the situation while taking part in the "Rose's Turn" social media trend.
In the clip, Alana looked sad as she lip-synced to the words: "All that work and what did it get me? Why did I do it?"
Alana jokingly asked 'Shark Tank' to make a deal with her to pay for her college tuition.
Fans flooded the comments section with support for the child star. One user penned, "You won this trend hands down 😭" and another chimed in, "All I gotta say is… GET YOUR BAG💅🏽🚨🚨."
"Girl, call a lawyer. You still have rights!" a third recommended. "They can make her pay monthly payments, or own her home while she pays rent."
