Shannon admitted that she finds it hard to distance herself from the Honey Boo Boo character because everyone still thinks she is "that little six-year-old Alana." "And I just feel like for me, I don't care what people think. I don't care. They think I'm a six-year-old or if they think I'm that 16-year-old, I don't really care. I'm gonna do me regardless," she told the outlet.
