Alana ‘Honey Boo Boo’ Thompson is seen storming away from her boyfriend Dralin Carswell in the latest episode of her family’s reality show after he finally admits he doesn’t want to move with her to Colorado for college – despite weeks of back and forth.
In an exclusive preview clip ahead of tonight’s episode of Mama June: Family Crisis, the couple reach breaking point during a heated conversation in which Dralin, 22, is complacent about contacting the courts about potentially relocating amid his ongoing legal issues.
The clanger comes after Alana shocked her family by stating she didn’t want to go to school without her other half.
Tensions reach fever pitch when Dralin returns from secretly visiting the bondsman with Alana’s sister, Pumpkin.
Alana ‘Honey Boo Boo’ Thompson locks horns with her boyfriend Dralin Carswell over his lack of urgency with their plans to move to Colorado
In exclusive first look clip for the latest episode of Mama June: Family Crisis, Alana is frustrated her boyfriend hasn’t called the courts to alert them about the move
‘I was going to surprise you with the information, but she [bondsman] told me [she] can’t do nothing and I have to go the court.’
A confused Alana, 18, asks: ‘So, you have to make a whole court day and everything just to talk to these people to ask if you can go to Colorado?’
‘No, I can just call up there and tell them,’ Dralin explains.
‘Well, you need to get the call in, it looks like,’ a frustrated Alana says. ‘If you’re not going, I’m not going either. I’m not going by myself!’
But it’s at this point, that Dralin appears to suggest he’s not keen on the plan.
‘I’m not trying to go,’ he mumbles.
Unsurprisingly, his response drives Alana up the wall and she snaps: ‘I don’t have nobody out there. I don’t even got no damn friends!’
Storming off, she then quips: ‘You’re irritating me. I’m done with this conversation.’

In her confessional, Alana reveals her reluctance to move without Dralin
Alana has been vocal about not wanting to move to Colorado for school without her boyfriend.
Speaking in her confessional, she reveals: ‘It’s important that Dralin gets to go with me to Colorado because for one, it’s a big scary move, and for two, I think Dralin would push me a lot more than I would push myself.
‘I feel like I wouldn’t be the one to really want to make friends, but Dralin would always push me to make friends, make sure my school work’s done, everything.
‘I feel like he would definitely push me to my limits.’
Back in July 2023, Alana was accepted to Regis University in Denver to pursue a degree in nursing.
However, due to Dralin’s legal issues, the star has been contemplating whether she will go to Colorado without him.

Dralin’s legal situation has been a storyline on the show since he allegedly drove under the influence back in February 2023 and spent two days in Monroe County jail before being released on a $25,000 bond.
In October, a court clerk confirmed to The Sun that Dralin had pleaded not guilty to four charges after being arraigned.
In previous scenes, he revealed to Alana’s sister Pumpkin that he had not been to see the bondsman because he was afraid he will be told he cannot go to Colorado.
More recently, viewers learned that Alana only has one week left to decide whether she will confirm her attendance, otherwise she will lose her $21,000 scholarship.
Will she be able to make a decision before the deadline arrives?
In the episode, June ‘makes an important decision without Justin which creates tension in their marriage’, the official synopsis teases.
‘Legal issues could impact whether Alana will go to college or not. Doe Doe is challenged to confront June about her social media posts.’
Mama June: Family Crisis airs Friday at 9PM ET/8PM CT on AMC Networks’ WE tv.
