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.

00:04:51Woo-hoo!
00:04:52Woo-hoo!
00:04:53Woo-hoo!
00:04:54Pageants made us really, 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.
00:05:01That's it.
00:05:02I don't care what Jessica's got going on.
00:05:03I don't care what Sugar Bear's got going on.
00:05:05It's Alana and the pageants.
00:05:07Let's go!
00:05:08Come on!
00:05:09Come on!
00:05:10Woo-hoo!

00:05:28Dad, I won!
00:05:29I got the ultimate beauty queen!
00:05:31Well, then that's something.
00:05:33I did just what mama told me to do.
00:05:35I strutted and stuck out my booty.
00:05:38Really, Junebug?
00:05:40Sticking out her booty?
00:05:42What? All the girls do it.
00:05:44And if they all jumped off a bridge?
00:05:46Does 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.
00:06:02Where's Jesse?
00:06:04He had some game.
00:06:08Pumpkin, what you cooking?
00:06:10Sketty. What 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.
00:06:20Yeah.
00:06:22I love Sketty.
00:06:24Mama, you ever having Sketty?
00:06:28I didn't know back then
00:06:30that these were some of the happiest days
00:06:32that I'd ever spend with Mama and my family.
00:06:34It was still all about us.
00:06:36Not just her.
00:06:38And I remember feeling a lot of hope.
00:06:40Baby, you are gonna win for sure.
00:06:42You blew all those other girls out of the water.
00:06:44Was that amazing?
00:06:46You were the most amazing.
00:06:48Now come on, we gotta get you dressed for awards.
00:06:50I bet you're gonna win.
00:06:52Excuse me, is that your daughter?
00:06:54It sure is. Ain't she beautimous?
00:06:56She's adorable.
00:06:58I've been watching her for a while now.
00:07:00You two are really something.
00:07:02You are?
00:07:04Oh, I'm sorry.
00:07:06I'm a scout from a show called Toddlers and Tiaras.
00:07:08No.
00:07:10We love that show, don't we?
00:07:12Well, I think you two would make a great addition to the 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.
00:07:30She saw her own potential.
00:07:32Of course, you know, it's a big decision.
00:07:34We're gonna have to think about it.
00:07:36Here's my card.
00:07:37Call me anytime.
00:07:38Okay.
00:07:39I 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 gotta go to everyone.
00:07:59Hey, you know pageants are important to this family.
00:08:02To this family or to you.
00:08:04What the devil's going on here?
00:08:08I'mma be on TV.
00:08:10Toddlers and Tiaras want Zalana.
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?
00:08:21I want my being rich.
00:08:22What do you need money for, pumpkin?
00:08:24You ain't pay 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?
00:08:37What about hiding nothing?
00:08:38Good.
00:08:39Because 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.
00:08:46I don't want nobody getting a big head about this.
00:08:49Don't want nothing to change.
00:08:51Well, something's gonna change.
00:08:53Because we're only doing glitz pageants from now on.
00:08:55The bigger, fancier pageants had been a dream for me
00:08:59and 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.
00:09:10Mama, they're following me everywhere.
00:09:13That's their job, baby.
00:09:14You're gonna get used to it.
00:09:16You think they'd follow me to the bathroom?
00:09:20Smoochie, you gotta drink this before you put your flipper in.
00:09:23I've done told you once.
00:09:27Come on, big swig.
00:09:30Good.
00:09:32All right.
00:09:33Are you excited, baby girl?
00:09:35Let me see what you're gonna 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.
00:09:46Missile.
00:09:48Missile.
00:09:49Missile.
00:09:50Missile.
00:09:51Missile.
00:09:52Missile.
00:09:53Missile.
00:09:55Missile.
00:09:56Missile.
00:09:58I'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, you'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.
00:10:16Doesn't hurt that we reworked that cowgirl routine of yours.
00:10:19of yours. And hey, you didn't trip. Nice work.
00:10:23Now your stomach?
00:10:24When I'm hungry.
00:10:25Sugar Bear, take JC and Pumpkin to that restaurant down the road.
00:10:28You mean the chicken and waffle place?
00:10:29Yeah, it looks nice. And I'll get Alana
00:10:31change and we'll meet you there.
00:10:33Alright, hurry up or I won't eat the whole bucket without y'all.
00:10:38They want to interview you tomorrow.
00:10:40Do you want to practice what you're going to say?
00:10:42Mama, I have all the words.
00:10:44I don't need practice.
00:10:48You ready, Alana?
00:10:50There'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.
00:11:13We woke up
00:11:14and I was literally just,
00:11:16honey boo boo, a dollar makes me holler,
00:11:17you better at Neck and Oz and everybody loved me.
00:11:21And I was just having a good time.
00:11:23I was young, naive.
00:11:24I was just having a great time.
00:11:26And I was famous for doing what I love most, pageants.
00:11:30The best part was, Mama.
00:11:33She was never happier
00:11:35and the person she was happiest with was me.
00:11:38Well, I thank you.
00:11:41You won't regret it.
00:11:42Alana, get 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?
00:11:54What is it?
00:11:55How'd you like to be the star of your own TV show?
00:11:58Bull donkey.
00:11:59I ain't never been more honest.
00:12:01What happened to Toddlers and Chars?
00:12:02We gave them a season.
00:12:04We're on to bigger and better.
00:12:05Now, June, we finna talk about this?
00:12:07What's there to talk about?
00:12:08We're all on the show?
00:12:10They even want me to bring Anna back from my Mama's house.
00:12:13Yeah, Anna!
00:12:14How's she hurting them in it?
00:12:15All four girls back together?
00:12:16Ain't she pregnant?
00:12:17And Chug, you're missing the point.
00:12:18We get paid.
00:12:20Lordy, we get paid.
00:12:23Don't you want your daughter to go into bigger and better things that we had?
00:12:27This is her chance.
00:12:31This is our chance.
00:12:40Look at you, Smoochie.
00:12:42You're on TV.
00:12:43Oh, Alana, you look amazing.
00:12:46Mama, look at you're dancing.
00:12:49Look at us.
00:12:50I don't know what people are talking about.
00:12:52The camera doesn't add 10 pounds.
00:12:54Yeah, more like 50.
00:12:56What are y'all going on about?
00:12:59I think I look mighty fine.
00:13:02You look great, Mama.
00:13:04We all do.
00:13:06This is just the beginning for you.
00:13:09The world is your oyster.
00:13:13I can just feel it.
00:13:14So, what do you like about pageants?
00:13:18Winning.
00:13:19I doubt I miss me.
00:13:20Holla, honey boo boo child.
00:13:23Here Comes Honey Boo Boo was an overnight hit.
00:13:26Everything was going great for us.
00:13:29And young and naive me loved every minute of it.
00:13:33Mama 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.
00:13:44This was our thing.
00:13:45And I finally gave her something no one else could.
00:13:49Not even Sugar Bear.
00:13:51But with all the money coming in, things were changing.
00:13:55And the truth of who Mama really was, wasn't far behind.
00:13:58I don't know why you had 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.
00:14:07We can get you a new set of teeth, too.
00:14:08We got the money now.
00:14:10I'm so glad everyone up in our business.
00:14:14They're staring.
00:14:15Then work it, Smoochie.
00:14:17Check that tail feather.
00:14:18Make it look good.
00:14:19Woo-hoo.
00:14:20See, now, this is what I don't want.
00:14:23I think I'll see y'all later.
00:14:27Hey, we got that meet and greet on Saturday in Atlanta with some fans.
00:14:32Do I have to go?
00:14:34It's Bailey's birthday.
00:14:37We were getting paid a pretty penny to be there, so...
00:14:39But Bailey's my best friend.
00:14:41I'm sure she'll understand, Alana.
00:14:42Mama, it's not fair.
00:14:44Alana, hush.
00:14:45Oh, my gosh.
00:14:46Y'all are from that cute show, aren't you?
00:14:48It sure is the day is long.
00:14:50Oh, I just got to get a picture.
00:14:51What do you say?
00:14:52Yeah, come on over.
00:14:54Oh, I just met with Honey Boo Boo.
00:14:57Yeah, uh-oh.
00:14:59Come on, Alana, go post with the lady.
00:15:01You are just cuter than a mouse.
00:15:04Yeah.
00:15:05Bye.
00:15:08Mama, do I get out the coupons?
00:15:10No, bitch, we don't need coupons no more.
00:15:12Not with Mama's little money maker.
00:15:15And you're not going to let me down, right?
00:15:16No, never.
00:15:17Good girl.
00:15:18We don't say no to opportunities just because you want to go to your friend's birthday party.
00:15:24It was like I lived in two worlds.
00:15:26Outside of the house, I was famous, and everything looked fine on the surface.
00:15:31But inside, things were far from good.
00:15:36Where have you been?
00:15:38Where?
00:15:40Bull.
00:15:40You've been sneaking around, and I want to know with who.
00:15:44I ain't sneaking around, woman.
00:15:46How many times I got to tell you?
00:15:47I don't know, baby.
00:15:48Till it's true.
00:15:49It's true?
00:15:50Damn it.
00:15:51What are you doing?
00:15:53You're scaring her.
00:15:54What the hell are you thinking?
00:15:55What am I thinking?
00:15:57Screw this show, and screw all y'all.
00:16:03Mama, why does Sugar Bear always get so mad?
00:16:08Because he's a man, Lana.
00:16:10That's how old men are.
00:16:12They're good for nothing.
00:16:14Almost nothing.
00:16:16But don't worry, baby.
00:16:18Sugar Bear just has to go let off some steam, and then everything will be fine and dandy.
00:16:23Okay?
00:16:23I promise.
00:16:29None of this was Sugar Bear's dream.
00:16:33And rather than getting better, the fame was making things worse.
00:16:36Well, then don't be here anymore.
00:16:38Well, maybe I won't win.
00:16:39Maybe I won't.
00:16:40Maybe I'll leave.
00:16:41Well, maybe I'm more popular than I won't win.
00:16:43They've been doing that a lot lately, huh?
00:16:45It's all they do, Nick.
00:16:47I've been working with you all for two years, and I've never seen it this bad.
00:16:51It's Sugar Bear.
00:16:52Let's do it!
00:16:53Nicole, are you okay?
00:16:59Now you've done it.
00:17:00Now you're really gone and done it.
00:17:02What is the matter with you?
00:17:06I don't know what you were thinking.
00:17:08Stuff like that's going to 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.
00:17:14I don't see you turning away them checks when they come in.
00:17:16All she cares 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 seeing no pics!
00:17:24No?
00:17:25Then why does TMZ got it?
00:17:26I don't know.
00:17:27Maybe it's someone else.
00:17:28It's one thing to cheat, but you've got to be doing it with men, too?
00:17:32Screw you, Jimbo.
00:17:34My sister, she got the worst of it.
00:17:51One hell of a concussion.
00:17:52To this day, I still don't know if Sugarbred knew what he was doing when he made that left
00:17:59turn.
00:18:00But if he was looking for an end, huh, he got one.
00:18:05That was the final straw for Mama.
00:18:08She 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 Sugarbred gone, we were totally focused on the show and us girls.
00:18:30Well, some of us.
00:18:33Jessie 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
00:18:42money.
00:18:43And it was like Pumpkin grew up overnight.
00:18:46Are you kidding me?
00:18:47Is this for real?
00:18:51Yep.
00:18:52Cost a pretty penny, too.
00:18:54Almost a quarter million dollars.
00:18:56Got that kind of money?
00:18:58Yeah, because of my little money maker.
00:19:00One day, Alana, this whole house is going to be yours.
00:19:04Come on, y'all.
00:19:05Let's go check this place out.
00:19:15This is a mansion.
00:19:17I'm going to pick a room.
00:19:21Well, Jessie and Anna might not be here, but save them a room, too.
00:19:26We got space for everybody.
00:19:28It was like a dream come true.
00:19:31We were finally one happy family.
00:19:34Mama swore no one would ever come between her and us girls.
00:19:39And it felt good.
00:19:40It felt like she meant it.
00:19:43At first.
00:19:44But soon, it became clear we weren't enough, and neither was the money.
00:19:53Mama!
00:19:53Wait till you hear what happened at school!
00:19:56Not now, Alana.
00:19:57But Mama...
00:19:58I'm busy!
00:20:00Who are you texting?
00:20:03Yeah, Mama.
00:20:04Who are you texting?
00:20:06Ain't none of y'all's business.
00:20:09Don't y'all got homework to do?
00:20:10What's so important that she can't hear about my day?
00:20:18Man, what else?
00:20:20Sugar Bear?
00:20:21They getting back together?
00:20:22Hell no.
00:20:23I'd move out first.
00:20:25Where would you go?
00:20:26I'd move in with Josh.
00:20:29Ooh, 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.
00:20:41Fans eat out to her all the time.
00:20:42Mama loves that attention.
00:20:43Can you guys quit already?
00:21:01Seriously, Pumpkin.
00:21:03Get 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.
00:21:12He just showed up.
00:21:14Is he here to look at the house, too?
00:21:21Yeah.
00:21:22Y'all ready?
00:21:25Let's get a move on.
00:21:27What you doing?
00:21:28I'm talking to a friend.
00:21:29What's it look like?
00:21:30Who are you?
00:21:32Oh, Mark, you must be a loner.
00:21:36Oh, hey, Pumpkin.
00:21:38Remember me?
00:21:41Mark was just going.
00:21:42Come on, y'all.
00:21:43Let's go check this place out.
00:21:50I 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.
00:21:59Damn it.
00:22:03Mama, let's do something.
00:22:05What?
00:22:05I 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?
00:22:11You want me to get out of my hair?
00:22:13What'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.
00:22:32And they found out Mark was in prison.
00:22:33Prison?
00:22:34What'd he do?
00:22:36Here, look yourself.
00:22:38What's molestation?
00:22:41Molestation.
00:22:46Look, Mama knew Mark a long time ago, long before you were born.
00:22:52I don't really remember him, but Anna said that he touched her.
00:22:58Touched her?
00:23:00Yeah, like, in the privates.
00:23:04Why would he do that?
00:23:05Hey!
00:23:06Y'all need to shut up.
00:23:07You don't know what you're talking about.
00:23:09Why would Anna make that up?
00:23:10I am not going to talk about this with you.
00:23:11Anna's not a liar.
00:23:13Lana, this ain't none of your business, okay?
00:23:15Now y'all need to hush and leave it alone.
00:23:18Why would you bring him back into our lives after all of that?
00:23:20What were you thinking, Mama?
00:23:22Shh!
00:23:22Hush, that's just the network calling.
00:23:25How y'all doing?
00:23:28No, no, no, no way.
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,
00:23:37we'll screw you too!
00:23:42What's wrong, Mama?
00:23:43What's wrong?
00:23:44They just done canceled our show!
00:23:47After four seasons of gold,
00:23:49this is how they repay me?
00:23:50Because of Mark?
00:23:52What do you mean they canceled our show?
00:23:54I just can't with y'all, I can't.
00:23:56Mama, wait!
00:23:57What now, Pumpkin?
00:24:05Now we say bye-bye to Honey Boo Boo.
00:24:08You mean it's just over?
00:24:10We're never gonna see the crew again?
00:24:13They'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?
00:24:19This is not your fault.
00:24:23It's hers.
00:24:24Who does that?
00:24:26What about the money?
00:24:28How are we gonna live?
00:24:29I don't know, Lana.
00:24:37I don't know.
00:24:38I don't know.
00:24:38When Here Comes Honey Boo Boo ended,
00:24:47everything changed.
00:24:49The camera crews packed up,
00:24:52and the family we had built
00:24:53over the past four seasons
00:24:55just disappeared.
00:24:56I didn't know how to handle that loss,
00:25:00or what it even really meant.
00:25:03As time passed,
00:25:04I got older,
00:25:05and I got lonelier.
00:25:14Mama, where are you going?
00:25:16To meet some friends.
00:25:17Mark?
00:25:18No.
00:25:19Turns out he was a garbage person,
00:25:21so we ain't friends no more.
00:25:22Well, can I come with you?
00:25:23No.
00:25:24What am I gonna do?
00:25:25I don't know.
00:25:26You got your tablet, don't you?
00:25:28I mean, I guess.
00:25:30When will you be back?
00:25:31I don't know, Alana.
00:25:32I'll be back when I'm back.
00:25:33But Mama.
00:25:33What?
00:25:34I don't want to stay home alone.
00:25:35Pumpkin will be home soon.
00:25:37Besides, you're a big girl now, Alana.
00:25:39You don't need me or nobody else.
00:25:45I did need her.
00:25:47I felt lost without our show.
00:25:50But now I wasn't Mama's little moneymaker.
00:25:52She didn't need me anymore.
00:25:55It was hard.
00:25:56It was definitely a big change for me,
00:25:59going from my mom being there 24-7
00:26:01to not being there at all.
00:26:03At the time,
00:26:04I didn't understand that her love
00:26:07was only transactional.
00:26:14Pumpkin.
00:26:15What?
00:26:15Where's Mama?
00:26:17I don't know.
00:26:18She didn't come home last night.
00:26:20Well, we got no food in the house
00:26:21and I'm hungry.
00:26:24There's my precious girls.
00:26:27And Josh.
00:26:28Jane, good to see you.
00:26:30I brought dinner.
00:26:31Mama, we got no food in the house.
00:26:33But I've been busy, Alana.
00:26:35Pumpkin will take me to the store
00:26:36after I nap.
00:26:37Something's up.
00:26:43What?
00:26:45I don't know, but something smells.
00:26:49Lana, hustle.
00:27:03We're going to be late.
00:27:04I can't.
00:27:05What are you going on about?
00:27:06My shoes are talking to me
00:27:07and I got nothing else that fits.
00:27:09Let me see.
00:27:10The girls at school
00:27:12are going to make fun of me.
00:27:21Mama,
00:27:22Lana needs new shoes.
00:27:24I can take her after school.
00:27:25I ain't got no money.
00:27:30What?
00:27:31How is that possible?
00:27:32What about the Honey Boo Boo money?
00:27:34The money's frozen.
00:27:37Damn bank.
00:27:39Why would your money be frozen?
00:27:44Mama!
00:27:45Why would the money be frozen?
00:27:46I don't know.
00:27:46I don't know.
00:27:46I don't know.
00:27:46I don't know.
00:27:47I don't know.
00:27:47I don't know.
00:27:48Let's go, Lana.
00:27:55What happened to Mama?
00:27:56Nothing.
00:27:57Take you for shoes after school.
00:27:59I got some money saved.
00:28:00Come on.
00:28:11Oh, look.
00:28:13Here comes Honey Fat Fat.
00:28:16Those look like some sad shoes.
00:28:19So much for being famous and rich.
00:28:21You don't know.
00:28:23You're nothing but a redneck, are you?
00:28:25At the time,
00:28:27I couldn't understand
00:28:28why anyone would be jealous of me.
00:28:31I would come home at times
00:28:32and I would just sit in the bed
00:28:33and, like, just cry.
00:28:34Like, what am I supposed to do?
00:28:36Because, like,
00:28:37I can't change the way I look
00:28:39for them to stop bullying me
00:28:40and I can't change the fact
00:28:42that I've been on TV now.
00:28:43So, what can I do?
00:28:46But what hurt most of all
00:28:48is that I couldn't go
00:28:49to my mama for help.
00:28:51What's wrong?
00:28:52The kids at school.
00:28:53Pumpkin and I swear
00:28:54I didn't even do anything to them.
00:28:55They're just me.
00:28:56I know you didn't,
00:28:57but we got bigger problems.
00:28:59What?
00:29:00The account's not frozen.
00:29:01She's just got no money in there.
00:29:03That bitch spent
00:29:05all the Honey Boo Boo money,
00:29:0610,000 an episode,
00:29:08just gone.
00:29:09On what?
00:29:12Come on, Pumpkin.
00:29:13And I'm old enough
00:29:13and you can tell me now.
00:29:17Let's go.
00:29:18We're confronting her ass.
00:29:27Mama, we need to talk
00:29:29about the money.
00:29:30Forget about the money.
00:29:31We about to be rolling in it.
00:29:33What's going on?
00:29:35I'll tell you what.
00:29:36We're getting a new show.
00:29:38Honey Boo Boo's back?
00:29:40I know Honey Boo Boo.
00:29:41This show's all about
00:29:43your sweet loving mama.
00:29:46It was like whiplash.
00:29:48Going from being so worried
00:29:50to hearing mama say
00:29:52everything's going to be just fine.
00:29:54She just always made
00:29:55like a remark of like,
00:29:57oh yeah, your name's in the title.
00:29:58Your name's in the title.
00:29:59And now that we have a show
00:30:00with her name in the title,
00:30:02she makes that very known.
00:30:03It doesn't matter
00:30:04whose name's in the title.
00:30:05Like at the end of the day,
00:30:06like we're still on TV.
00:30:07We're one big family
00:30:09and we're just supposed
00:30:10to be having fun.
00:30:12But as usual,
00:30:13life took over.
00:30:18You gonna tell mama?
00:30:20You know, I like living.
00:30:22I may just keep it to myself.
00:30:24Well, she can't be mad.
00:30:26She made the same mistakes.
00:30:28Plus, you're gonna find out anyway.
00:30:30Shush now.
00:30:31All right, girls.
00:30:32Eat up.
00:30:34New Camer crew's gonna be here
00:30:35any minute.
00:30:35You know, Eden,
00:30:37you got some go-go juice?
00:30:39Hush.
00:30:40Can't I just be excited
00:30:41for something good to happen?
00:30:42You know, surgery's a big deal.
00:30:45You sure you need it?
00:30:46I think you look fine.
00:30:47It's not gonna be easy.
00:30:49I know.
00:30:50That's what I have you girls for.
00:30:51And they don't just want to have
00:30:53my glow up on the show.
00:30:54They want y'all in it too.
00:30:56Doing what?
00:30:57Supporting me, of course.
00:30:59Mama June and her girls.
00:31:00I don't know if it's a good time
00:31:12to tell you, but
00:31:13me and Josh were pregnant.
00:31:18Pregnant.
00:31:24Cracker pumpkin.
00:31:27Did y'all learn nothing from me?
00:31:30Didn't I tell you to use protection?
00:31:32We did.
00:31:33We did.
00:31:40Well, there's no use
00:31:41crying over a busted condom now, I guess.
00:31:43You're 17.
00:31:46What are y'all gonna do?
00:31:48Josh is gonna get a job.
00:31:52You sure you're ready to be a mama?
00:31:54We'll figure it out, I guess.
00:31:57We want to keep the baby.
00:31:58That's what's most important.
00:32:00Well, Mama June is gonna be there for you.
00:32:04We're a family.
00:32:06We're gonna handle it together.
00:32:07Okay?
00:32:10Thanks, Mama.
00:32:13Oh, that's them.
00:32:18Things like this would happen
00:32:19and we'd get a little glimpse of good mama.
00:32:22She'd do something great
00:32:24and we'd fall right back into her arms.
00:32:27The trouble was,
00:32:28it never lasted.
00:32:31Girls, come on.
00:32:32My new crew is here.
00:32:33You must be Susie.
00:32:35Sure am.
00:32:36You ready to go from not to hot?
00:32:38Yes.
00:32:43I was hopeful that we'd put that rough time behind us.
00:32:53We had a show again and we were making money.
00:32:56There was reason for hope.
00:32:57What do you think of your mom losing all that weight?
00:33:00It's gonna change your whole life.
00:33:02I like Mama the way she is.
00:33:04I don't think she need a change.
00:33:06But now she'll be healthier
00:33:06and better able to take care of you, right?
00:33:08Does this mean I gotta lose weight, too?
00:33:16No.
00:33:17Honey, you're great.
00:33:19Just as you are.
00:33:21The glow-up that Mama had,
00:33:23as a young girl,
00:33:24it made me feel like
00:33:25you needed to have surgery to look good.
00:33:28Even being, like, a chubbier kid,
00:33:31I was like,
00:33:31do I look okay?
00:33:32Like, my mom,
00:33:33she looks, like, pretty now.
00:33:35Like, am I fine?
00:33:36And it made me question my self-worth.
00:33:39It made me look in the mirror
00:33:39and, like, am I okay?
00:33:42What's wrong, Smoochie?
00:33:46Kids at school picking on me again.
00:33:51Well, wipe those tears.
00:33:53Because what if I told you
00:33:55you don't have to go to school no more?
00:33:57Really?
00:33:58Really.
00:33:59With this new show,
00:34:01it makes more sense to homeschool you.
00:34:03You're gonna be my new teacher.
00:34:05Something like that.
00:34:07And also,
00:34:08I got big news for you.
00:34:10I got us a new manager.
00:34:13A manager?
00:34:14Mm-hmm.
00:34:15Somebody to book us good jobs and stuff.
00:34:18Her name is Maya,
00:34:19and she sees big things for our family.
00:34:21Especially you.
00:34:23Really?
00:34:24Really.
00:34:25Like Hollywood, even.
00:34:28Baby girl, the world is our oyster.
00:34:30We just gotta stick together, right?
00:34:32At the time, I couldn't see.
00:34:37This was just Jean
00:34:38pulling me closer when she needed me.
00:34:42I gotta get ready for bingo.
00:34:44Bingo.
00:34:44My head was spinning with all of Mama's news,
00:34:51but the manager
00:34:53was just the tip of the iceberg.
00:34:57Here we go.
00:34:59Spin, spin, spin.
00:35:00Another new person
00:35:02was about to come barely into our lives.
00:35:05All the ladies.
00:35:05That's what we're going to do.
00:35:07Pumpkin.
00:35:08Woo-hoo!
00:35:10Bingo!
00:35:11Looks like we have the winner.
00:35:13Everyone stay in your seats
00:35:15to wake you up.
00:35:17You look familiar.
00:35:19I should.
00:35:20I seen you around.
00:35:23Friend of Dodos.
00:35:24Oh, and a friend of my sister's
00:35:27a friend of ours.
00:35:29Gino.
00:35:30Nice to meet you.
00:35:31After that night at the bingo hall,
00:36:00Gino honestly just moved right in.
00:36:03When my mama first started talking to Gino,
00:36:07he was a great guy.
00:36:08I thought Gino was going to be the guy for her.
00:36:10I thought that they would be together forever.
00:36:13I thought that he'll be my stepdad one day.
00:36:16We were a family again,
00:36:18which I actually really needed
00:36:20since Pumpkin was starting her own accidental family.
00:36:24What do you mean she's going to have my room?
00:36:26Now that Ella's getting bigger,
00:36:27she's going to need her own space.
00:36:29She don't fit with Josh and Pumpkin no more.
00:36:31Where am I going to go?
00:36:38This for me?
00:36:40I prefer it all myself.
00:36:41What do you think?
00:36:47Well,
00:36:47you know,
00:36:50I love you girls and your mama.
00:36:55Do you?
00:36:56I know this all happened pretty fast.
00:36:59Me moving in and all.
00:37:01Yeah.
00:37:05You mad?
00:37:07Just don't hurt my mama.
00:37:09You have my word.
00:37:19Thanks for the room.
00:37:21That's just the start.
00:37:23It is?
00:37:25Sounds too good to be true.
00:37:27Hmm.
00:37:27Well,
00:37:28it was.
00:37:28I just couldn't see that back then.
00:37:30Something huge was about to change my life.
00:37:35Preach,
00:37:35baby girl.
00:37:37And,
00:37:38this room ain't all we got for you.
00:37:40It's not?
00:37:41Mm-mm.
00:37:42Our manager just booked you a big gig.
00:37:44You're kidding.
00:37:46Baby girl,
00:37:47you finna be on
00:37:48Dancing with the Stars!
00:37:50Shut up!
00:37:52They're gonna pay you to the big bucks!
00:37:55Woo!
00:37:55I really do love performing, y'all.
00:37:58And I miss it.
00:37:59When Dancing with the Stars came up,
00:38:02it wasn't just about being on TV.
00:38:04It was about me getting a chance
00:38:07to stretch,
00:38:08to try something new.
00:38:10Something that was just for me.
00:38:12I loved every second of this.
00:38:14I just wanted you to know
00:38:16I'm putting on a show
00:38:19To my heartache
00:38:21I'm gonna let you go
00:38:22Do whatever it takes
00:38:25Just for two now
00:38:26I'm dancing off the heartbreak
00:38:28At first,
00:38:40they were there every day.
00:38:41Every practice.
00:38:43And then,
00:38:45Gino just stopped coming.
00:38:47He just wanted to lay around the apartment,
00:38:48the show had rented for us,
00:38:50and Mama and him
00:38:51would disappear for hours.
00:38:53But I didn't mind.
00:38:54I spent most of my time
00:38:56with Tristan,
00:38:56my dance partner.
00:38:58How do you like a lay?
00:39:00I think I was born to be here.
00:39:01You got the bug?
00:39:03The what?
00:39:04The bug.
00:39:05The acting bug.
00:39:06I get it.
00:39:07Trust me.
00:39:09But who's gonna put me in a movie?
00:39:10Oh, why wouldn't they?
00:39:12Well, I don't look right.
00:39:14But you're you.
00:39:15You're amazing.
00:39:15What if I could really star in movies?
00:39:21Well, I'm not saying
00:39:22it won't come without a lot of rejection.
00:39:24Oh, trust me.
00:39:25Rejection?
00:39:26Something I'm definitely used to.
00:39:28Well, if anybody could make it,
00:39:30you could.
00:39:31You got that...
00:39:32that thing.
00:39:36You think?
00:39:37A few weeks in,
00:39:49I got the boot.
00:39:50I was devastated,
00:39:52but hopeful for my future
00:39:53in the business.
00:39:55But Mama insisted
00:39:57on going straight back to Georgia,
00:39:59even though my manager said
00:40:00she could get us more gigs in L.A.
00:40:03But I soon found out
00:40:05why Mama wanted to get back.
00:40:06What are you looking at?
00:40:15Leave me alone.
00:40:16What are you doing?
00:40:17Get out of here!
00:40:18Go!
00:40:19Go away!
