Mama June Shannon manages the money for herself and Sugar Bear from their payments from TLC for their roles in “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo.” The reality show star had the money put into her checking account and gave Sugar Bear an allowance. After the show’s cancellation, both Sugar Bear and Uncle Poodle feel they are being treated unfairly.
Mama June has reportedly been dating convicted child molester Mark McDaniel, the network decided it was time to cancel the show. Despite that, they had already recorded the cancelled season six months ago, but canned the show, vowing not to air any of the episodes. Sugar Bear and Uncle Poodle won’t be getting paid for the unaired episodes, leaving Sugar Bear bitter – primarily because he has no place to stay and has no money. TMZ reports:
Production sources say payment was tied to the airing of the shows, but TLC has 86’d the entire season which was shot over a period of 6 months. We’re told Sugar Bear hasn’t gotten a dime.
What’s especially galling to S.B. … he doesn’t have a reserve. We’re told June hoarded all the money the family got and doled out an allowance for him — that’s it.
As for Poodle … our sources says he’s extremely bitter because he says TLC has not contacted him and he has no idea if he’ll end up with goose eggs.
Our production sources say … the check’s in the mail — literally — for both Sugar Bear and Poodle.
Mama June Shannon recently opened up in her first interview since the child molester scandal went public. When asked all about the show’s cancellation and the Mark McDaniel dating rumors, she replied that it will all come out.
Mama June wouldn’t really risk the safety of her children, would she? Recently, Mama June and Sugar Bear were seen walking hand in hand in what appeared to be a staged photo. Could all of this be leading up to something?
