'Here Comes Honey Boo Boo' Cast News: Mama June Reportedly Dating Convicted Sex Offender
June Shannon, or Mama June, of "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" might have some more problems in her life.
She recently broke it off with Honey Boo Boo's father, Sugar Bear. Her new boyfriend, Mark McDaniel, has been convicted of sexually assaulting one of her relatives in 2004, notes the New York Daily News.
He served 10 years in prison for "forcing oral sex on an 8-year-old child."
Mama June was dating McDaniel at the time of the incident, and the victim is still someone who speaks to Mama June. Honey Boo Boo's mom reportedly snuck away from the set to meet up with McDaniel.
"TLC is not in production on 'Here Comes Honey Boo Boo,'" the network said. "We are very concerned about this new information and are reassessing the future of the series."
Mama June and Sugar Bear split up after he was supposedly caught going through the website plentyoffish.com, where he was looking for other women. The two were never married, but they had a commitment ceremony.
Mama June stopped wearing her wedding ring.
She and Sugar Bear released a statement.
"Sugar Bear and I have decided to take some time apart to figure out some things in our relationship," she said. "We are taking things day by day, but regardless of what happens the girls will always be our No. 1 priority. We want to thank ya'll for your support."
It was also reported that TLC already didn't know what to do about the show when Mama June and Sugar Bear split, so if she really is dating McDaniel, then things are sure to get more complicated.
The show first started in 2012, and it follows pageant star Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson and the rest of her family.
