Although the reality television star’s college housing situation seemed bleak, Pumpkin told her sister to work through the adversity and quipped: ‘Your a** is going to college.’

Back in Georgia, Jessica Shannon and her girlfriend, Shyann, were babysitting Pumpkin’s children when Mama June and her husband, Justin Stroud, showed up, and her grandson Harper promptly punched his grandmother in her ‘pupong.’

Jessica quickly asked her mother if she had ‘all the Coogan stuff figured out,’ after which the media personality asserted that the situation was ‘cool.’

June later pulled out a bank statement and stated that her youngest daughter ‘has a lot of money that she’s going to have access to that normal 18-year-olds don’t even have a fraction of.’

The family eventually convened following the end of Alana’s trip to Denver, and Pumpkin stated that her younger sister should have ‘at least over $200,000’ in a confessional.

When Alana and Lauryn began speaking about how credit became an issue while looking for housing and wished that they had learned about it sooner, Mama June stated that she ‘wouldn’t teach you [about credit] at the age of 11.’ 

Pumpkin’s husband, Josh Efird, then added that his sister-in-law’s celebrity status did not carry much weight in Denver, stating: ‘They don’t give a **** about Honey Boo Boo up there, bro.’

Although June stated that Dralin’s criminal past could hinder him from living with Alana in Colorado and floated the possibility of a potential breakup, Alana insisted that she would stay in school regardless of the status of her love life.

Josh also praised Dralin for looking for work in Colorado and stated that the couple was behaving ‘like two adults are supposed to.’

Although the family meeting began on a relatively civil note, June pulled out the bank statement and revealed that there was only $33,000 in the Coogan account, which was much less than her daughters expected.

Alana became particularly distressed upon learning about her financial situation and stated: ‘There should at least be six figures in that account. Something’s not adding up. My money is somewhere. It needs to be found right now.’

June then claimed that 50% of her youngest daughter’s income was automatically taken for taxes and expressed that Alana spent much of her money on herself, although the latter disputed the allegation.

The reality television personality then expressed that her mother likely spent part of her money during her period of drug addiction, after which June confessed that she spent $150,000 of her daughter’s funds to purchase a home.’

June went on to speak about how she was unaware of how Coogan accounts were set up, stating: ‘Georgia isn’t a Coogan state. Don’t have to do those for child actors. Honestly, I had never heard of a Coogan account until Alana went out to LA.’

Josh, Justin and Dralin stepped outside to speak about of June’s financial mismanagement before Stroud was called back into the house in order to hear his wife confess to spending money Alana earned from her past media appearances.

Although June claimed that her children knew that a certain amount of Alana’s money had been spent, Pumpkin countered by stating that they ‘were under the impression that 100 percent of that went in there.’

Lauryn then accused her mother of strategically spending a specific amount Alana’s earnings before they went into the Coogan account and called June ‘a dirty dog’ for her actions.

Pumpkin added that her mother ‘tried to figure out the bare minimum she could put into Alana’s account that was legally right and then pocketed the rest.’

The reality television personality then added: ‘Lord knows what she did or where it went.’

Alana became emotional and began to cry before storming out of the house, after which she proceeded to tell Justin, who was unaware of his wife’s past actions, about her mother’s financial mismanagement.

June stated that, although she did spend 80% of Alana’s past earnings and left the rest for her daughter, she spoke about how ‘everybody benefited’ from how she used her youngest child’s money on ‘trips, everything, houses, stuff like that.’

Alana added: ‘Even though Mama was in her addiction, I still think that she would be smart enough to keep my damn money in my account. But [she] didn’t do that.’

The media personality went on to express that she wanted to be able to access her funds and that she was not above pursuing legal action.

‘I do expect the money to be paid back, or we’re going to take [June] to court,’ she stated.
