Move over, Kardashians: There’s another sham reality TV family in town!
Breaking Celebrity News can exclusively reveal that Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson, 9, and her rag-tag clan are guilty of fake scenes and big fibs on their hit reality show.
The TLC series— already facing backlash after reports that an out-of-control Alana allegedly slapped her mother June, 34, off-screen during a recent Tonight Show appearance with Jimmy Fallon — recreated cast member Anna Shannon’s big move on the season 4 premiere last week.
During an April interview with Breaking Celebrity News, Anna, 19, admitted she left the Shannon-Thompson family’s MacIntyle, George nest with daughter Kaitlyn, 23 months, to live with now-husband Michael Cardwell, 21, in nearby town Ivey the previous September.
“We moved in together seven months ago,” Anna said, “but it wasn’t filmed for the show.”
However, on the June 19 episode, the family says goodbye to Anna and Kaitlyn in an emotional scene implied to have taken place long after the teen mom’s December engagement.
