"Mama June" Shannon Appearing on Dr. Phil Show to discuss alleged involvement with child molester
(Hollywood, CA – November 13, 2014)– DR. PHIL, television’s #1-rated syndicated daytime talk show, continues its 13th season with ripped-from-the-headlines episodes with the daytime television exclusive interview with “Mama June” Shannon, one of the stars of the now cancelled reality series “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo,” who sits down with Dr. Phil to answer hard questions about the scandal that has rocked her entire family. The episode airs Monday, November 17 (check local listings).
In the wide-ranging interview, Mama June denies rekindling a relationship with convicted child molester Mark McDaniel, the man who allegedly sexually assaulted her daughter Anna when she was 8. This in spite of the fact that recent pictures of her and McDaniel have surfaced. When asked about the photos by Dr. Phil, Shannon claims at least one of the photos were photo shopped. She also answers Dr. Phil’s tough questions about her ties to McDaniel, and why she recently allowed Pumpkin to have contact with him.
Shannon also reveals the current status of her relationship with ex-boyfriend Mike “Sugar Bear” Thompson, stating, “He cheated, he hurt me a lot. I am not in love with him.” In addition, Dr. Phil gets her thoughts about the state opening an investigation checking on her three youngest children and asks why she thinks TLC cancelled her show after so many hit seasons on the air. Shannon is later joined by “Sugar Bear” and daughter Lauryn “Pumpkin” Shannon to discuss how they feel about the recent events that have shaken their family.
Select quotes from the episode:
“He’s moved on, he’s got a girlfriend and it’s not me.” -- “Mama June” Shannon regarding her relationship with Mark McDaniel.
“I would never take my child around someone like that.” -- Dr. Phil to “Mama June” Shannon regarding “Pumpkin” having contact with McDaniel.
DR. PHIL was created by Harpo Productions, is produced by Peteski Productions in association with CBS Television Distribution and is distributed by CBS Television Distribution, a unit of CBS Corp. Carla Pennington and Dr. Phillip C. McGraw are the executive producers. Angie Kraus is co-executive producer.

Re: "Mama June" Shannon Appearing on Dr. Phil Show to discuss alleged involvement with child molester
The more I read about this piece of trash the more disgusted I am by her.
I read that story about the molester being the father to one of her kids, another story I read says it's 2 kids.
I still can not believe this trash was on TV and made hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars.
EXCLUSIVE: Mama June Reveals Pumpkin’s Real Father and Another Relationship With a Sex Offender
Mama June is finally ready to set the record straight.
For the first time since allegedly resuming her relationship with convicted child molester Mark McDaniel, June "Mama June" Shannon is sitting down for an exclusive interview with ET's Brooke Anderson to defend her actions and answer the questions everyone has been asking. Worse, Mama June's oldest daughter Anna "Chickadee" Cardwell, 20, says he molested her when she was 8.
"I have nothing to hide, I have nothing to lose," Shannon told ET. "I just want, honestly, to tell my side of the story and let’s move on."
EXCLUSIVE: Honey Boo Boo's Sister Anna Cardwell Tells ET: 'He's a Child Molester, Mama'
The 35-year-old TLC reality star and mother of Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson came under fire in October after photos surfaced of her with McDaniel, who was recently released from jail after serving 10 years.
However, according to Mama June, she has only seen McDaniel twice since his release, once at a coincidental meeting and the second time at an arranged meeting to give closure to her daughter Pumpkin, 14, who was raised believing McDaniel was her biological father.
"Since two months to almost six years, she knew nobody but him," Shannon explained. "She was starting to resent Anna and she was starting to ask me questions. I can't answer those questions for Pumpkin."
Shannon says that she arranged a second meeting with McDaniel so that Pumpkin could ask him questions in an attempt to get closure and move on.
"I was sitting right there with twelve other people," she told ET. "It was a conversation that she wanted her answers: what happened, why did he leave, you know, if he was her real father. He admitted to her, no. I had already told her that but, you know, she wanted to hear from both sides of the story."
Shannon also revealed for the first time her claim that Pumpkin's biological father is also the father of her 18-year-old daughter Jessica. His name is Michael Anthony Ford, he is a convicted sex offender who served time for sexual exploitation of minors after being caught on To Catch a Predator in 2005.
"Jessica and Pumpkin have the same dad, but Jessica's dad has had nothing to do with her over the years," Shannon said. "So, why the hell would I open up that can of worms until today? I lied to my family and told them it was somebody else."
As for whether Mama June understands why people were so upset over her being seen with McDaniel, she says, "I understand that…and honestly it's not like I'm seeing him everyday, I promise…I wanted to be able to give one of my other daughters closure and now Pumpkin is happy, that piece of our life is over."
Earlier this month, ET also sat down with Shannon's mother, Sandra Hale, for an exclusive interview. She was the one who took Cardwell to the police station to file accusations against McDaniel on her behalf and believes Honey Boo Boo is in danger.
"The reason I say that is because that's about the same age he likes," Hale replied. "[The same age] he messed with Anna."
However, Shannon does not believe that Honey Boo Boo is in danger as her youngest daughter has had minimal contact with McDaniel since his release.
"He never really talked to her," Shannon claims, saying that the only time Alana was around McDaniel was when "twelve other people [were] there too."
Mama June's multi-part interview series, including Sugar Bear's take on the whole thing, with begins airing Thursday only on ET.
This woman needs to get herself and her kids into therapy!
She should have the money for it
