In an episode of Mama June: Family Crisis, after crunching numbers, Pumpkin, 24, believed that Alana, 18, had at least $35,000 missing from the bank account that was started for her as a child star.

After Pumpkin pointed out that the missing funds would've helped the Toddlers & Tiaras star pay for her college tuition — she's currently studying to be a neonatal nurse at Regis University in Colorado — June said she would be willing to chip in only if she thought Alana would follow through and obtain a degree.
