Sugar Bear Slams Mama June Rumor About Child Abuse
Former “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo” star Mike “Sugar Bear” Thompson slammed his ex, “From Not to Hot” star Mama June Shannon, after she claimed that he abused their daughter, former “Toddlers & Tiaras” standout Alana.
“No, I never abused them kids,” Sugar Bear told Radar Online in an exclusive interview Tuesday. “I loved them kids!”

But Shannon told a different story. He was depicting as a loving father on “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo,” however the Georgia mother painted a different picture of the doting Sugar Bear, as he was seen on reality TV.
“It’s time the world sees him for what he is,” the 37-year-old told Page Six Monday. “[Lauryn ‘Pumpkin’ Shannon’s] eye buckle was caused by him … because he got mad. So many emotional and physical scars with the kids that anything else after the incident a couple of moth — I’d say about a month ago — when we tried to do the reunion special. It didn’t turn out good and I’m not going to put my kids through that again.”
She added: “I’m tired of hiding, I’m tired of brushing his a-- up underneath the rug.”
Alana, 11, said she barely spoke to her father. “He calls me every once in a blue moon, so if there's a blue moon outside, he's going to call me,” she told Entertainment Tonight Online last week.
Shannon added to ET that Sugar Bear fat-shamed Alana. “[He said] ‘It wouldn't hurt if you lose weight,’ and I think that was the most ignorant thing that he ever told her,” Shannon explained. “I would never say that.”
“I was more mad of the point that he said, because I didn't get this shape from not eating,” Alana continued. “The other day, I was talking to him again and he said it again.”
Sugar Bear and Shannon split in September 2014. She lost nearly 300 pounds after getting weight loss surgery, changing her diet, exercising and having plastic surgery on her stomach, arms and neck to remove extra skin. Shannon had a breast lift, too.
