Alana ‘Honey Boo Boo’ Thompson threatened to cut off Mama June Shannon after she refused to pay the $35,000 she allegedly stole from her.
In an upcoming episode of their family reality show, the teenager and her older sister Lauryn ‘Pumpkin’ Shannon confronted their mother over the money intended for Alana’s college education.
After the matriarch refused to pay her youngest daughter’s tuition, which she suggested would be a ‘waste’ of money, Pumpkin said Mama June was ‘not supportive’ and ‘lost $500,000 to a bag of f***ing crack’ in an exclusive preview of Friday’s episode of Mama June: Family Crisis obtained by People.
Their intervention quickly becomes a bitter showdown when Mama June denied the ‘betrayal’ overall and refused to hand over the money — for which the teenager previously said she will sue and take her mother to court.
This comes after the matriarch told DailyMail.com exclusively that she spent Alana’s Dancing With The Stars: Juniors earnings on manicures and paying her own bills.

Earlier this week, she also slammed her teenage daughter’s claims that she ‘stole’ the money and refuses to pay for her college tuition.
In the latest scene, Pumpkin was seen calculating and cross-referencing Mama June’s previous transactions and Alana’s earnings from her child star appearances — as well as out-of-state taxes as the family resides in Georgia— in her Coogan account on a whiteboard.
After revealing that there is $35,728 missing from Alana’s funds, the sisters confronted their mother and demanded she return the money.
‘Well you’re not even allowing me to talk,’ Mama June said during their disagreement.
Pumpkin then calls out their mother for skirting the issue, but Mama June said she is ‘not going around the facts’.
She asked if they just expected her to hand over the five-figure amount to Alana after presenting their whiteboard.
In an emotional confessional, Alana threatened to end her relationship with her mother if she doesn’t pay her back.
‘If Mama wants to have, like, a relationship with me, she needs to pay me back,’ she said before calling her mother a ‘thief.’

She asked if they just expected her to hand over the five-figure amount to Alana after presenting their whiteboard. When Pumpkin noted that missing sum could have paid for two semesters of Alana’s tuition, Mama June said she does not believe her youngest daughter will graduate and admitted she does not want to give her money just for her to drop out
In an emotional confessional, Alana threatened to end her relationship with her mother if she doesn’t pay her back. ‘If Mama wants to have, like, a relationship with me, she needs to pay me back,’ she said before calling her mother a ‘thief.’
‘Because one thing I don’t do is I don’t hang around no thief that [is] gonna steal my money now. You was the one who stole it so you need to pay my money back.’
When Pumpkin noted that missing sum could have paid for two semesters of Alana’s tuition, Mama June said she does not believe her youngest daughter will graduate and admitted she does not want to give her money just for her to drop out.
In response, Pumpkin fired back at their mother: ‘You’re being [a] negative bitch! You’re not a supportive mother! Who cares? It’s investing in your daughter if you lost 10 grand? You lost $500,000 to a bag of f***ing crack, bitch!’
‘God forbid Alana drop out of college and waste 10 grand,’ she added.
In defense of herself, Mama June claimed she doesn’t ‘tell y’all what to do with your money.’
Alana tried to de-escalate the situation by saying that nobody is ‘mad’ at Mama June for not wanting to help with her tuition and said she just wanted her own money back so she could at least pay for herself.
‘I don’t even want you to pay for college,’ she said. ‘I just want my 35 grand back in my account so I can pay for college.’
Mama June: Family Crisis airs Fridays at 9 p.m. ET on WE tv.
