June is the daughter of Melvin and Alexandra Shannon, but her parents divorced when she was just two years old. June has had health problems since her birth; she was born with cataracts on both her eyes, and now can’t see out if one of them. Also, she started gaining weight in her early years, and never stopped adding pounds.
She gave birth to her first child, Anna in 1994, when she was only 15 years old, and then she had three more children before she was 26, and subsequently became a grandmother at just 33. She entered the world of entertainment in 2012, with her youngest daughter, Alana Thompson, when the two became a part of the reality TV show “Toddlers and Tiaras”. After her success on this show, Alana was offered her own series, “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo”, and June and her daughter became the stars of the show, which ihis increased June’s wealth to a large degree.
June’s popularity also soared, and in 2017 she herself got her own show – “Mama June: From Not to Hot”. The subject of the show is June on her way to healthy eating and so weight reduction, as she wants to look good for her ex-husband’s wedding. The show covers her related surgical procedures, which apparently cost over $50,000, paid for by June from her TV salaries. The show garnered positive reviews from both critics and viewers, which significantly increased her wealth, and after decreasing her weight by an impressive 300lbs/130kgs. Of course one could ask how she came to be so large – she says simply a poor lifestyle, not helped by her dislike of most vegetables, which she has of course altered significantly, and is determined to maintain.
To speak further of her accomplishments, June now has another show of her own, entitled “Cooking with Mama June”, adding further to her popularity and net worth.
Regarding her personal life, June has four children with three different men; her daughters are Anna Cardwell, Jessica Shannon, Lauryn Shannon, and Alana Thompson, who don’t seem to have any problems, despite living with their somewhat unconventional mother.
Her weight problems led to further complications, including diabetes. She has also had a number of physical injuries throughout her life. However, thanks to her most recent decision to lose weight, June underwent a gastric bypass procedure and weight loss surgery.
