The mother who gave her little daughter “go-go juice” to get her amped up for a beauty pageant is hitting back at critics who slammed her parenting skills.
Alana Thompson’s mother June makes her daughter a “special juice” of Mountain Dew and Redbull to energize the six-year-old before she hits the kiddie catwalk, and she spoke exclusively to Breaking Celebrity News to defend her actions.
“I didn’t do anything to hurt her,” June said about plying her little girl with the magic brew.
“There are far worse things that I can do to my kid,” she said, and dismissed critics of her parenting skills: “It is the way it is and I don’t let what people say bother me.”
In true reality star fame, June said she was happy that the controversy has helped people know about Alana. “As long as they’re talking about us they’re making us famous!”
