Update: Mama June is Dating the Man Who Sexually Abused Her Own Daughter
by Andy NeuenschwanderWhen news broke that June Shannon, aka Mama June of "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" fame, was dating a child molester, the story was already pretty grim.
Somehow, it just got worse.
Mama June's eldest daughter Anna, known on the show as "Chickadee," has stepped forward and revealed herself to be the victim of June's boyfriend Mark McDaniel's abuse.
McDaniel was just released from prison this year after serving a 10-year sentence for forcing oral sex on an 8-year-old girl; a girl who we now know was June's daughter Anna Shannon Cardwell.
Mama June has already stepped forward and denied that she's dating McDaniel, however Anna confirmed the relationship in an interview with Radar Online. "I believe she is seeing him and hanging around him," she said. "I’m hurt."
"I think me and Mama's relationship may be over," she added.
Also cutting all ties with June Shannon is TLC, who has already canceled any further episodes of "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo." The network had already filmed a season's worth of episodes, but none of them will go to air.
