00:00:00I just felt like there was no way that like they were gonna fit all my life in an hour and 30
00:00:17minutes. Scene one, take one. I'm Alana Thompson. You may know me as Honey Boo Boo. That fun kid
00:00:26doing pageants with her mom and her crazy family. See my story for the first time.
00:00:44Alana. Alana, wake up. Go away, Mama. It's too early. Okay, fine. I'll just call up the pageant folks.
00:00:55Tell them you're pulling out of the competition. Today's the pageant? It sure is. You ready for some
00:01:01Mama and Smoochie time? Yeah. Me too. Go get ready. Get dressed. Don't wake up your sister or sugar bear.
00:01:25Eat up, Smoochie. We need you to be high energy.
00:01:31Mmm, look here.
00:01:35Is that my new dress?
00:01:38It sure is. What you think?
00:01:41Oh, get those sticky fangers all the way away.
00:01:44Mama, I'm so excited. I've never had a dress this good.
00:01:48All my couponing paying off. Anything for my little mini-me.
00:01:53You've ever won a crown, Mama?
00:01:56Maybe if my Mama was as good as me, I would have.
00:01:59Don't worry. I'll win all the crowns for you.
00:02:03I know you will, my baby girl.
00:02:05What's going on?
00:02:07Mama got me a new pageant dress, pumpkin.
00:02:09Nice. You managed to get me that new glove for softball?
00:02:14Your old one's just fine, Jessica.
00:02:17Mama, it's falling apart.
00:02:18Then tape that sucker up.
00:02:22Now go on, Smoochie. Eat up. We're gonna be late.
00:02:26That was me and Mama 13 years ago.
00:02:30Since that happy moment, a lot has changed.
00:02:35You think you know my story?
00:02:37Hell, it's been splashed all over TMZ for years.
00:02:41I've been the star of three reality TV shows.
00:02:45You think you know me, but you don't.
00:02:48For me, it's not about fame, and it's not about the money.
00:02:53Honestly, my story is simple.
00:02:55It's about a mom and a daughter
00:02:56and breaking a cycle of emotional abuse.
00:03:00My Mama put men, money, and eventually even drugs
00:03:05ahead of me.
00:03:07But in the beginning, for a little while,
00:03:10it was all about fun.
00:03:13Alana, this ain't no cardio workout class.
00:03:16Slow your ass down and get you practicing your dance.
00:03:19Mama, chill.
00:03:20I don't need no more practice.
00:03:22You just gotta remember to show the belly, okay?
00:03:24Show the belly.
00:03:25Please, woman, you got nothing to worry about.
00:03:28Watch me roll.
00:03:30I'm rolling.
00:03:32Okay.
00:03:33You just gotta drink your go-go juice
00:03:34because your age group's on next.
00:03:38What's she got there?
00:03:39Oh, my all-natural concoction.
00:03:42Uh.
00:03:43Yeah, Mama's special drink.
00:03:47Oh, my.
00:03:49Did you see her face?
00:03:51She thinks you're a bad mama-jammer.
00:03:54We know better, though, don't we, baby?
00:03:56Yeah.
00:04:00Mama, when are we gonna do glitz pageants?
00:04:03I want all the fancy makeup.
00:04:05I know, baby, but you know those pageants cost an arm and a leg.
00:04:10Besides, you naturally beautimous, right?
00:04:13Now, you remember what you're gonna say when they ask you what you wanna be when you grow up?
00:04:16I wanna be an extreme couponer like my mama.
00:04:20Love it.
00:04:21Mind you, when you say it, you gotta stand up straight, speak clearly.
00:04:24Six-year-olds to the changing area.
00:04:26Oh, that's us.
00:04:27Let's go.
00:04:27Six-year-olds to the changing area.
00:04:31Woo!

00:04:47Woo-hoo!
00:04:50One thing, Spooky!
00:04:54Pageants made us really, really, really, really, really close.
00:04:57And for a long time, it was just all Mama cared about was Alana's doing a pageant.
00:05:02That's it.
00:05:02I don't care what Jessica's got going on.
00:05:04I don't care what Sugar Bear's got going on.
00:05:06It's Alana and the pageants.
00:05:09Woo-hoo!
00:05:13Woo-hoo!

00:05:28Dad, I won!
00:05:29I got the ultimate beauty queen!
00:05:31Well, that's something.
00:05:32I did just what Mama told me to do.
00:05:35I strutted and stuck out my booty.
00:05:39Really, Junebug?
00:05:40Sticking out her booty?
00:05:42What?
00:05:43All the girls do it.
00:05:44All the girls do it.
00:05:45And if they all jumped off a bridge?
00:05:47Does the winner get a crown?
00:05:50Very funny.
00:05:52Just saying, I worked a long day at the dang chalk mine.
00:05:54I could have come home to a hot dinner on the table.
00:05:56When did he ever come home to a hot dinner?
00:05:58I'm not asking that much.
00:06:03Where's Jesse?
00:06:04Is that some game?
00:06:05Pumpkin, what you cooking?
00:06:09Skeddy.
00:06:10Skeddy.
00:06:11What else do I know how to cook?
00:06:12Sugar Bear wouldn't let up about his damn empty stomach.
00:06:16Do I look like Cinderella to you?
00:06:18Cinderella wouldn't give me so much damn grief.
00:06:21Yeah.
00:06:22I love Skeddy.
00:06:23I love Skeddy.
00:06:24Mama, you ever having Skeddy?
00:06:28I didn't know back then that these were some of the happiest days that I'd ever spend with
00:06:33Mama and my family.
00:06:35It was still all about us, not just her.
00:06:38And I remember feeling a lot of hope.
00:06:40Baby, you are going to win for sure.
00:06:43You blew all those other girls out of the water.
00:06:45Was that amazing?
00:06:47You were the most amazing.
00:06:49Now come on, we've got to get you dressed for awards.
00:06:51I bet you're winning.
00:06:52Excuse me.
00:06:53Is that your daughter?
00:06:54It sure is.
00:06:55Ain't she beautimous?
00:06:56She's adorable.
00:06:57I've been watching her for a while now.
00:07:01You two are really something.
00:07:03And you are?
00:07:04Oh, I'm sorry.
00:07:06I'm a scout from a show called Toddlers and Tiaras.
00:07:09No.
00:07:10We love that show, don't we?
00:07:12Well, I think you two would make a great addition to this show.
00:07:16Does it interest you at all?
00:07:18Does it pay?
00:07:19It does.
00:07:20The cycle of pain started before I could even recognize it.
00:07:24It started when my mom looked at me.
00:07:26And for the first time, she didn't just see me.
00:07:31She saw her own potential.
00:07:32Of course, you know, it's a big decision.
00:07:34We're going to have to think about it.
00:07:36Here's my card.
00:07:37Call me.
00:07:38Anytime.
00:07:39Okay.
00:07:47I have never seen Mama so happy.
00:07:49We both felt like we were on cloud nine.
00:07:55Mr. Rudd, it's smoochy.
00:07:57I don't know why we've got to go to everyone.
00:08:00Hey, you know pageants are important to this family.
00:08:02To this family or to you.
00:08:06What the devil's going on here?
00:08:08I'm going to be on TV.
00:08:10Toddlers and Tiaras want Solana.
00:08:14TV?
00:08:15I don't know about this.
00:08:17What do you have against it?
00:08:19Yeah, don't we all get paid?
00:08:20I want my being rich.
00:08:22What do you need money for, pumpkin?
00:08:24You ain't paying no bills.
00:08:26I don't know I want my personal life all public.
00:08:29We're not exactly TV ready.
00:08:31That's why they want us, Suge.
00:08:33They think we have character.
00:08:35Besides, what do you have to hide?
00:08:37I'm not about hiding nothing.
00:08:39Good.
00:08:40Because they want to do interviews with all of us.
00:08:41See, now that's what I don't want.
00:08:43Come on, Sugar Bear.
00:08:45Do it for me.
00:08:47I don't want nobody getting a big head about this.
00:08:49Don't want nothing to change.
00:08:51Well, something's going to change.
00:08:53Because we're only doing glitz pageants from now on.
00:08:56The bigger, fancier pageants had been a dream for me and Mama for a long time.
00:09:02I was finally getting to do them.
00:09:04And the whole world was along for the ride.
00:09:07Mama, they're following me everywhere.
00:09:13That's their job, baby.
00:09:14You're going to get used to it.
00:09:16You think they'd follow me to the bathroom?
00:09:20Smoochie, you've got to drink this before you put your flipper in.
00:09:24I've done told you once.
00:09:28Come on, big swig.
00:09:30Good.
00:09:32All right.
00:09:33Are you excited, baby girl?
00:09:34Let me see what you're going to do out there.
00:09:38Woo!
00:09:39That's my girl.
00:09:40Okay, go.
00:09:41Go, go, go.
00:09:45Next up.
00:09:47Miss Ola.
00:09:49First, thank you.
00:09:57I'd still like to imagine how proud she was watching me back then.
00:10:03It just felt so good just to have that support.
00:10:08I'll be damned.
00:10:09You're about as beautiful as I could imagine.
00:10:11I can't believe I beat those snooty girls.
00:10:14I can.
00:10:15You're a breath of fresh air.
00:10:17Doesn't hurt that we reworked that cowgirl routine of yours.
00:10:19And hey, you didn't trip.
00:10:20Nice work.
00:10:22Now your stomach?
00:10:24When I'm hungry.
00:10:25Sugar Bear, take JC and Pumpkin to that restaurant down the road.
00:10:27You mean chicken and waffle place?
00:10:28Yeah, it looks nice.
00:10:29And I'll get Ilana change and we'll meet you there.
00:10:32All right, hurry up or I won't eat the whole bucket without y'all.
00:10:37They want to interview you tomorrow.
00:10:39Do you want to practice what you're going to say?
00:10:41Mama, I have all the words.
00:10:43I don't need practice.
00:10:47You ready, Ilana?
00:10:48There's nothing to be nervous about.
00:10:52I don't get nervous.
00:10:54Okay.
00:10:57Okay, man.
00:10:58So, what do you like about pageants?
00:11:01Winning.
00:11:02A dollar makes me holler, honey boo boo child.
00:11:04We woke up and I was literally just, honey boo boo, a dollar makes me holler.
00:11:17You better read Neck and Oz.
00:11:19And everybody loved me and I was just having a good time.
00:11:22I was young, naive.
00:11:23I was just having a great time.
00:11:25And I was famous for doing what I love most, pageants.
00:11:31The best part was, Mama.
00:11:33She was never happier and the person she was happiest with was me.
00:11:38Well, I thank you.
00:11:40You won't regret it.
00:11:45Ilana!
00:11:46Get over here.
00:11:47What's up, Mama?
00:11:49Guess what Mama's little money maker just landed for this family.
00:11:53What? What is it?
00:11:54How'd you like to be the star of your own TV show?
00:11:57Bull donkey.
00:11:58I ain't never been more honest.
00:12:00What happened to toddlers and chars?
00:12:01We gave them a season.
00:12:02We're on to bigger and better.
00:12:04Now, June, we finna talk about this.
00:12:06What's they ever talk about?
00:12:07We're all on the show.
00:12:09They even want me to bring Anna back from my Mama's house.
00:12:12Yeah, Anna!
00:12:13Haven't seen her in a minute.
00:12:14All four girls back together.
00:12:15Ain't she pregnant?
00:12:16Shug, you're missing the point.
00:12:17We get paid.
00:12:19Lordy, we get paid.
00:12:21Don't you want your daughter to go into bigger and better things that we had?
00:12:26This is her chance.
00:12:29This is our chance.
00:12:31Look at you, Smoochie.
00:12:32You're on TV.
00:12:33Oh, Alana, you look amazing.
00:12:35Mama, look at your dancing.
00:12:36Look at us.
00:12:37I don't know what people are talking about.
00:12:39The camera doesn't have 10 pounds.
00:12:40Yeah, more like 50.
00:12:41What are y'all going on about?
00:12:42I think I look mighty fine.
00:12:43You look great, Mama.
00:12:44We all do.
00:12:45This is just the beginning for you.
00:12:46I don't know what you're talking about.
00:12:47You're on TV.
00:12:48You're on TV.
00:12:49You're on TV.
00:12:50You're on TV.
00:12:51You're on TV.
00:12:52Oh, Alana, you look amazing.
00:12:53Mama, look at your dancing.
00:12:54Look at us.
00:12:55I don't know what people are talking about.
00:12:56The camera doesn't have 10 pounds.
00:12:57Yeah, more like 50.
00:12:58What are y'all going on about?
00:12:59I think I look mighty fine.
00:13:01You look great, Mama.
00:13:02We all do.
00:13:04This is just the beginning for you.
00:13:09The world is your oyster.
00:13:12I can just feel it.
00:13:14So, what do you like about pageants?
00:13:18Winning.
00:13:19Adala makes me holla, honey boo boo child.
00:13:23Here Comes Honey Boo Boo was an overnight hit.
00:13:26Everything was going great for us.
00:13:28And young and naive me loved every minute of it.
00:13:32Mama told me over and over again how important I was to her.
00:13:36And I loved being her little money maker.
00:13:39It made me feel special.
00:13:43This was our thing.
00:13:45And I finally gave her something no one else could.
00:13:48Not even Sugar Bear.
00:13:51But with all the money coming in, things were changing.
00:13:54And the truth of who Mama really was, wasn't far behind.
00:13:58I don't know why you have to get all gussied up.
00:14:00What, you don't like me like this?
00:14:02New clothes, new me.
00:14:04Just don't go changing too much, Junbo.
00:14:06We can get you a new set of teeth too.
00:14:08We got the money now.
00:14:09I'm so glad everyone up in our business.
00:14:13They're staring.
00:14:15Then work it, Smoochie.
00:14:16Check that tail feather.
00:14:17Make it look good.
00:14:18See now, this is what I don't want.
00:14:21I think I'll see y'all later.
00:14:25Hey, we got that meet and greet on Saturday in Atlanta with some fans.
00:14:31Do I have to go?
00:14:33It's Bailey's birthday.
00:14:35We were getting paid a pretty penny to be there, so.
00:14:38But Bailey's my best friend.
00:14:40I'm sure she'll understand, Alana.
00:14:42Mama, it's not fair.
00:14:43Alana, hush.
00:14:44Oh, my gosh.
00:14:45Y'all are from that cute show, aren't you?
00:14:47It sure is the day is long.
00:14:49Oh, I just gotta get a picture.
00:14:51What do you say?
00:14:52Yeah, come on over.
00:14:53Oh, I just met with Honey Boo Boo.
00:14:57Yeah.
00:14:58Come on, Alana.
00:14:59Go post with the lady.
00:15:01Oh, you are just cuter than a mouse.
00:15:04Yeah.
00:15:05Bye.
00:15:06Mama, do I get out the coupons?
00:15:09No, bitch.
00:15:10We don't need coupons no more.
00:15:11Not with Mama's little money maker.
00:15:13And you're not gonna let me down, right?
00:15:15No, never.
00:15:16Good girl.
00:15:17We don't say no to opportunities just because you want to go to your friend's birthday party.
00:15:23It was like I lived in two worlds.
00:15:25Outside of the house, I was famous and everything looked fine on the surface.
00:15:30But inside, things were far from good.
00:15:36Where have you been?
00:15:38Where?
00:15:39Bull.
00:15:40You've been sneaking around and I want to know with who.
00:15:44I ain't sneaking around, woman.
00:15:45How many times I gotta tell you?
00:15:47I don't know, baby.
00:15:48Till it's true.
00:15:49It's true, damn it.
00:15:51What are you doing?
00:15:52You're scaring her.
00:15:53What the hell are you thinking?
00:15:55What am I thinking?
00:15:56Screw this show and screw all y'all.
00:15:59Mama, why does Sugar Bear always get so mad?
00:16:07Cuz he's a man, Lana.
00:16:09That's how all men are.
00:16:11They're good for nothing.
00:16:13Almost nothing.
00:16:15But don't worry, baby.
00:16:17Sugar Bear just has to go let off some steam and then everything will be fine and dandy, okay?
00:16:22I promise.
00:16:29None of this was Sugar Bear's dream.
00:16:32And rather than getting better, the fame was making things worse.
00:16:35Well, then don't be here anymore.
00:16:37Well, maybe I won't win.
00:16:38Maybe I won't.
00:16:39Maybe I'll leave.
00:16:40Well, maybe I'm more popular than I won't win.
00:16:41They've been doing that a lot lately, huh?
00:16:43It's all they do, Nick.
00:16:45I've been working with you all for two years and I've never seen it this bad.
00:16:50It's Sugar Bear.
00:16:52Nicole, you okay?
00:16:58Now you've done it.
00:16:59Now you're really gone and done it.
00:17:01What is the matter with you?
00:17:06I don't know what you were thinking.
00:17:07Stuff like that's gonna get us in trouble with the network.
00:17:10Oh, screw the network.
00:17:11That's fine and dandy for you to say now.
00:17:13I don't see you turning away them checks when they come in.
00:17:16All she care about is the money.
00:17:18And what do you care about?
00:17:19Them hoes you've been sending pics to?
00:17:22I'll tell you later.
00:17:23I ain't sending no pics.
00:17:25No?
00:17:26Then why does TMZ got it?
00:17:27I don't know.
00:17:28Maybe it's someone else.
00:17:29It's one thing to cheat, but you've got to be doing it with men too?
00:17:32Screw you, Jimbo.
00:17:43My sister, she got the worst of it.
00:17:50One hell of a concussion.
00:17:54To this day, I still don't know if Sugar Bear knew what he was doing when he made that left turn.
00:17:59But if he was looking for an end, huh, he got one.
00:18:03That was the final straw for Mama.
00:18:07She finally kicked him out.
00:18:10Even though he was my dad, a big part of me was relieved.
00:18:14That night was a real sign that more dangerous times were ahead of us.
00:18:25With Sugar Bear gone, we were totally focused on the show and us girls.
00:18:30Well, some of us.
00:18:32Jessie was off to college and Anna moved to Alabama with her boyfriend.
00:18:37We moved to Hampton, Georgia, where Mama brought us a new house with the Here Comes Honey Boo Boo money.
00:18:42And it was like Pumpkin grew up overnight.
00:18:45Are you kidding me? Is this for real?
00:18:51Yep.
00:18:52Cost a pretty penny too. Almost a quarter million dollars.
00:18:56Got that kind of money?
00:18:57Yeah, because of my little money maker.
00:18:59One day, Alana, this whole house is going to be yours.
00:19:03Come on, y'all. Let's go check this place out.
00:19:12This is a mansion.
00:19:18I'm going to pick a room.
00:19:20Well, Jessie and Anna might not be here, but save them a room too.
00:19:25We got space for everybody.
00:19:28It was like a dream come true.
00:19:30We were finally one happy family.
00:19:33Mama swore no one would ever come between her and us girls.
00:19:38And it felt good.
00:19:40It felt like she meant it.
00:19:42At first.
00:19:44But soon it became clear we weren't enough and neither was the money.
00:19:52Mama, wait till you hear what happened at school.
00:19:55Not now, Alana.
00:19:56But Mama...
00:19:57I'm busy.
00:20:01Who you texting?
00:20:03Yeah, Mama. Who you texting?
00:20:06Ain't none of y'all's business.
00:20:08Don't y'all got homework to do?
00:20:15What's so important that she can't hear about my day?
00:20:18Man, what else?
00:20:20Sugar Bear? They getting back together?
00:20:22Hell no. I'd move out first.
00:20:25Where would you go?
00:20:27I'd move in with Josh.
00:20:28Mmm, your boyfriend.
00:20:30Shut up.
00:20:31Does Mama have a new boyfriend?
00:20:33Who knows?
00:20:34You know she's text happy.
00:20:36Probably met a fan on socials.
00:20:38What do you mean?
00:20:39You'd be surprised.
00:20:40Fans each out to her all the time.
00:20:42Mama loves that attention.
00:20:58Can you guys quit already?
00:21:00Seriously, Pumpkin.
00:21:02Get over it.
00:21:04Why do we even need to be here?
00:21:06You know, Mama, now that there's money coming in, she wants to look at even bigger houses.
00:21:10Who's Mama talking to?
00:21:12Beats me. He just showed up.
00:21:14Is he here to look at the house too?
00:21:15You all ready? Let's get a move on.
00:21:16What you doing?
00:21:17I'm talking to a friend. What's it look like?
00:21:18Who are you?
00:21:19I'm Mark. You must be a loner.
00:21:20Oh, hey, Pumpkin. Remember me?
00:21:21Mark was just going. Come on, y'all. Let's go check this place out.
00:21:23I really did believe, Mama, when she's at home.
00:21:26You all ready? Let's get a move on.
00:21:27What you doing?
00:21:28I'm talking to a friend. What's it look like?
00:21:30Who are you?
00:21:31I'm Mark. You must be a loner.
00:21:36Oh, hey, Pumpkin. Remember me?
00:21:41Mark was just going.
00:21:43Come on, y'all. Let's go check this place out.
00:21:45I really did believe Mama when she said her and Mark were just friends.
00:21:55But whatever their meeting was, it changed everything for us.
00:22:01Damn it.
00:22:03Mama, let's do something.
00:22:05What? I ain't doing nothing.
00:22:07What's wrong, Mama?
00:22:08Pumpkin!
00:22:09What?
00:22:10Can you come and get your sister or you want me to get out of my hair?
00:22:15What?
00:22:21What's going on with Mama?
00:22:24TMZ posted a photo of Mama and Mark at a hotel.
00:22:28Why were they at a hotel?
00:22:30I can only guess.
00:22:31And they found out Mark was in prison.
00:22:33Prison? What'd he do?
00:22:36Here, look yourself.
00:22:38What's mol...
00:22:40Molestation.
00:22:46Look...
00:22:48Mama knew Mark a long time ago.
00:22:50Long before you were born.
00:22:52I don't really remember him, but...
00:22:54Anna said that...
00:22:56He touched her.
00:22:58Touched her?
00:23:00Yeah, like...
00:23:02In the privates.
00:23:04Why would he do that?
00:23:05Hey!
00:23:06Y'all need to shut up, you don't know what you're talking about.
00:23:08Why would Anna make that up?
00:23:09I am not gonna talk about this with you.
00:23:11Anna's not a liar.
00:23:12Lana, this ain't none of your business, okay?
00:23:15Now y'all need to hush and leave it alone.
00:23:17Why would you bring him back into our lives after all of that?
00:23:20What were you thinking, Mama?
00:23:22Hush, it's the network calling.
00:23:25How y'all doing?
00:23:27No, no, no, no, wait.
00:23:29It's a lie.
00:23:31I just bumped into him.
00:23:33No, no, no, it's not like that.
00:23:34If you just could hear me out...
00:23:36Well, screw you too!
00:23:37What's wrong, Mama?
00:23:39What's wrong?
00:23:40They just done cancelled our show!
00:23:42After four seasons of gold, this is how they repay me?
00:23:46Because of Mark?
00:23:48What do you mean they cancelled our show?
00:23:50I just can't with y'all, I can't.
00:23:52Mama, wait!
00:23:54What now, Pumpkin?
00:23:55Now we say bye-bye to Honey Boo Boo.
00:24:07You mean it's just over?
00:24:10We're never gonna see the crew again?
00:24:12They're like family!
00:24:14They're not though, are they?
00:24:16They were paid to be around us.
00:24:18You think Mama's mad at me?
00:24:20This is not your fault.
00:24:22It's hers!
00:24:24Who does that?
00:24:26What about the money?
00:24:28How are we gonna live?
00:24:32I don't know, Lana.
00:24:37I don't know.
00:24:44When Here Comes Honey Boo Boo ended, everything changed.
00:24:48The camera crews packed up, and the family we had built over the past four seasons just disappeared.
00:24:57I didn't know how to handle that loss, or what it even really meant.
00:25:02As time passed, I got older.
00:25:05And I got lonelier.
00:25:06Mama, where are you going?
00:25:07To meet some friends.
00:25:08Mark?
00:25:10No, turns out he was a garbage person, so we ain't friends no more.
00:25:13Well, can I come with you?
00:25:14No.
00:25:15What am I gonna do?
00:25:16I don't know, you got your tablet, don't you?
00:25:18I mean, I guess.
00:25:20When will you be back?
00:25:21I don't know, Alana.
00:25:22I don't know, Alana.
00:25:23I'll be back when I'm back.
00:25:24But, Mama.
00:25:25What?
00:25:26I don't want to stay home alone.
00:25:27Pumpkin will be home soon.
00:25:28Besides, you're a big girl now, Alana.
00:25:29You don't need me or nobody else.
00:25:31I did need her.
00:25:33I felt lost without our show.
00:25:34But now, I wasn't Mama's little moneymaker, she didn't need me anymore.
00:25:53It was hard.
00:25:55It was definitely a big change for me going from my mom being there 24-7 to not being there at all.
00:26:01being there at all. At the time, I didn't understand that her love was only transactional.
00:26:14Pumpkin. What? Where's Mama? I don't know. She didn't come home last night. Well, we got no food
00:26:21in the house and I'm hungry. There's my precious girls and Josh. Jane, good to see you. I brought
00:26:30dinner. Mama, we got no food in the house. But I've been busy, Alana. Pumpkin will take me
00:26:36to the store after a nap. Something's up. What? I don't know, but something smells.
00:27:00Lana, hustle. We're going to be late. I can't. What are you going on about? My shoes are
00:27:07talking to me and I got nothing else that fits. Let me see. Girls at school are going to make
00:27:12fun of me. Mama, Lana needs new shoes. I can take her after school. I ain't got no money.
00:27:29What? How is that possible? What about the Honey Boo Boo money? Money's frozen. Damn bank.
00:27:39Why would your money be frozen? Mama, why would the money be frozen?
00:27:46Let's go, Lana. What happened to Mama? Nothing. Take her for shoes after school. I got some
00:27:59money saved. Oh, look. Here comes Honey Fat Fat. Those look like some sad shoes. So much for
00:28:19being famous and rich. You don't know. You're nothing but a redneck, are you? At the time,
00:28:26I couldn't understand why anyone would be jealous of me. I would come home at times and I would just
00:28:33sit in the bed and, like, just cry. Like, what am I supposed to do? Because, like, I can't change the
00:28:38way I look for them to stop bullying me and I can't change the fact that I've been on TV now. So,
00:28:43what can I do? But what hurt most of all is that I couldn't go to my mama for help. What's wrong?
00:28:52The kids at school. Pumpkin and I swear I didn't even do anything to them. They're just mean.
00:28:56I know you didn't, but we got bigger problems. What? The account's not frozen. She's just got no money in
00:29:02there. That bitch spent all the Honey Boo Boo money, 10,000 an episode, just gone. On what?
00:29:09Come on, pumpkin. I'm old enough and you can tell me now. Let's go. We're confronting her ass.
00:29:27Mama, we need to talk about the money. Forget about the money. We about to be rolling in it.
00:29:33What's going on? I'll tell you what. We're getting a new show. Honey Boo Boo's back? I know Honey Boo Boo.
00:29:41This show's all about your sweet loving mama. It was like whiplash. Going from being so worried
00:29:50to hearing mama say everything's going to be just fine. She just always made, like, a remark of, like,
00:29:56oh, yeah, your name's in the title. Your name's in the title. And now that we have a show with her name
00:30:01in the title, she makes that very known. It doesn't matter whose name's in the title. Like,
00:30:06at the end of the day, like, we're still on TV. We're one big family and we're just supposed to be
00:30:10having fun. But as usual, life took over. You gonna tell mama? You know, I like living. I may just
00:30:23keep it to myself. Well, she can't be mad. She made the same mistakes. Plus, you're gonna find out
00:30:29anyway. Shush now. All right, girls. Eat up. New camera crew's gonna be here any minute.
00:30:37You know, Eden, you got some go-go juice? Hush. Can't I just be excited for something good to
00:30:42happen? You know, surgery's a big deal. You sure you need it? I think you look fine. It's not gonna
00:30:48be easy. I know. That's what I have you girls for. And they don't just want to have my glow up on the
00:30:54show. They want y'all in it, too. Doing what? Supporting me, of course. Mama June and her
00:31:00girls. Oh, lordy pumpkin. What is it? I see you biting that tongue of yours.
00:31:11I don't know if it's a good time to tell you, but
00:31:13me and Josh were pregnant.
00:31:24Cracker pumpkin. Did y'all learn nothing from me? Didn't I tell you to use protection?
00:31:32We did.
00:31:33Well, there's no use crying over a busted condom now, I guess. You're 17. What are y'all
00:31:47gonna do? Josh's gonna get a job.
00:31:52You sure you're ready to be a mama?
00:31:54We'll figure it out, I guess. We want to keep the baby. That's what's most important.
00:31:59Well, Mama June is gonna be there for you. We're a family. We're gonna handle it together. Okay?
00:32:10Thanks, Mama.
00:32:14Ooh, that's them!
00:32:17Things like this would happen, and we'd get a little glimpse of good Mama. She'd do something
00:32:23great, and we'd fall right back into her arms. The trouble was, it never lasted.
00:32:31Girls, come on! My new crew is here! You must be Susie.
00:32:35Sure am. You ready to go from not to hot?
00:32:38I was hopeful that we'd put that rough time behind us. We had a show again, and we were
00:32:54making money. There was reason for hope. What do you think of your mom losing all that weight?
00:33:00It's gonna change your whole life. I like Mama the way she is. I don't think she need a change.
00:33:05But now she'll be healthier and better able to take care of you, right?
00:33:14Does this mean I gotta lose weight, too?
00:33:16No. Honey, you're great. Just as you are.
00:33:20The glow up that Mama had, as a young girl, it made me feel like you needed to have surgery
00:33:27to look good. Even being, like, a chubbier kid, I was like, do I look okay? Like, my mom,
00:33:33she looks, like, pretty now. Like, am I fine? And it made me question my self-worth. It made me look
00:33:39in the mirror and, like, am I okay? What's wrong, Smoochie?
00:33:43The kid's at school picking on me again.
00:33:51Well, wipe those tears. Because what if I told you you don't have to go to school no more?
00:33:57Really?
00:33:58Really. With this new show, it makes more sense to homeschool you.
00:34:02You're gonna be my new teacher.
00:34:05Something like that. And also, I got big news for you. I got us a new manager.
00:34:13A manager?
00:34:14Mm-hmm. Somebody to book us good jobs and stuff.
00:34:18Her name is Maya, and she sees big things for our family. Especially you.
00:34:23Really?
00:34:24Really. Like Hollywood, even.
00:34:28Baby girl, the world is our oyster. We just gotta stick together, right?
00:34:35At the time, I couldn't see. This was just Jean. Pulling me closer when she needed me.
00:34:41I gotta get ready for bingo.
00:34:49My head was spinning with all of Mama's news.
00:34:52But the manager was just the tip of the iceberg.
00:34:57Here we go. Spin, spin, spin.
00:35:00Another new person was about to come barely into our lives.
00:35:08Pumpkin.
00:35:09Woohoo! Bingo!
00:35:11Looks like we have the winner.
00:35:13Everyone stay in your seats.
00:35:17You look familiar.
00:35:18I should. I seen you around.
00:35:23Friend of Dodos.
00:35:24Oh, and a friend of my sister's a friend of ours.
00:35:29Gino. Nice to meet you.
00:35:31Greenough, bye.
00:35:44Hmm...
00:35:44Hmm.
00:35:45after that night at the bingo hall Gino honestly just moved right in when my mama first started
00:36:06talking to Gino he was a great guy I thought Gino was going to be the guy for her I thought that
00:36:11they would be together forever I thought that he'll be my stepdad one day we were a family again
00:36:17which I actually really needed since pumpkin was starting her own accidental family what do you

00:37:59when dancing with the stars came up
00:38:01it wasn't just about being on TV
00:38:04it was about me getting a chance
00:38:07to stretch

00:38:26I'm dancing off the heartbreak
00:38:28at first they were there every day

00:38:46he just wanted to lay around the apartment
00:38:48the show had rented for us
00:38:50and mama and him would disappear for hours
00:38:53but I didn't mind
00:38:54I spent most of my time with Tristan

00:39:58even though my manager said
