"Honey Boo Boo" Star Mama June Shannon Dating Child Molester

According to several reports, "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" star "Mama" June Shannon is dating a convicted child molester named Mark McDaniel who just ended serving a 10-year prison sentence for urging an 8-year-old to perform oral sex. The unknown victim was supposedly related to Shannon.


According to celebrity website TMZ, Shannon was dating McDaniel at the time he abused the child and has begun seeing him again in the latest months as her affair with Mike "Sugar Bear" Thompson unraveled.

The outlet has shared a picture in which Shannon and McDaniel are spotted hanging out in a hotel room in June. It unclear when their romance resumed, but McDaniel was released from prison in March. He is currently a registered sex offender in the state of Georgia.

A spokesperson for TLC, which produces and airs "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo," said in a statement: "TLC is not currently in production on "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo." We are very concerned about this new information and are reassessing the future of the series."

It is apparently beyond upsetting that a convicted child molester is back in Shannon's life. The reality star has not commented yet about the situation.
