Thin Mama June’s Weight Loss Sparks Fat Suit Rumors About Size 4 Figure
Former “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo” star Mama June Shannon sparked rumors she wore a fat suit on her new reality show, “Mama June: From Not To Hot,” when she debuted a drastically thinner slimmer figure in the third week of the series, a sneak peek clip from Entertainment Tonight showed. Shannon reportedly started at 460 pounds and dropped down to a size 4.
Much of the discussion was on Twitter. Some claimed it looked like her neck wasn't moving the right way.
For the episode, Shannon wore her platinum hair in a messy pony tail and sported a black track suit. The clip isn’t about the 37-year-old’s weight loss, though. Instead, she talked to her daughter, Alana, about potentially looking at flowers with Jennifer Lamb, the woman who married her father, Michael “Sugar Bear,” Thompson.
Shannon didn’t like that Lamb called Alana. “You know she’s having a wedding and I’m going to be the flower girl, right? Kind of, she asked me to go with her to pick out some flower girl dresses for the wedding. Me and her, just me and her.”
When her mother looked displeased, Alana added: “I wanted to ask if you wanted to come. For not Sugar Bear, not Jennifer, but for me, for my support.”
But Shannon wasn’t interested. “I mean, that’s a little messaged up, especially about an event like this,” the reality star said about the wedding.
One of the things Shannon didn’t like is that Lamb didn’t ask for her permission first. “I don’t know why Jennifer would call an 11-year-old and not me,” she said. “I mean, what type of woman does that? Is she scared of me?”
Shannon had gastric bypass surgery to help her lose weight. She also started to exercise and eat healthier to slim down. She was inspired to change her look after her ex became engaged.

But not everyone is on board with the change. During last week’s episode, Alana told Shannon’s doctor she didn’t want to eat healthy because she liked her full figure.
“Like, I have no idea what this man's talking about,” Alana told the cameras. “Mama's on this diet, but I'm not, boo boo. I like my curves. … I mean, seriously, this dude is really crazy.” She added: “I'm not jumping on any bandwagon, unless it has cheeseburgers and stuff.”
