Alana Thompson, best known as Honey Boo Boo, shot to fame when she was just 5-years-old.
Thompson, alongside her family, starred in the series, Toddlers & Tiaras.
Thompson and her mom, June Shannon, were an instant hit with viewers.
And as result, the family went on to have their own reality TV series, Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, though it was later canceled due to controversy.
In 2018, Thompson went on to star in Dancing with the Stars: Juniors where she made it to the fourth week.
However, since then, Thompson has shied away from television shows and instead now keeps fans updated with her life on Instagram.
Including where she shared the news of her boyfriend…
Thompson, now sixteen, is currently dating Dralin Carswell, aged twenty.
And people aren’t happy about the age gap…
But despite other people’s problems with the age gap, Thompson’s mom, June Shannon, came out to defend her daughter’s relationship.
Speaking with TooFab, Shannon said that people need to realize that Thompson has “grown up.”
When the outlet asked Shannon whether she had met Carswell, she confirmed that she had.
“Yes, I’ve met Dralin,” she said. “They’ve been together for over a year. People need to realize that she’s going to be 17 in August and that [Alana’s older sister] Pumpkin and Josh were the same age as they were.”
Shannon went on to say that Thompson is receiving a lot of “hate” about her relationship.
Shannon claimed it was because Thompson is in “an interracial relationship” and because “he is older.”
“She is getting a lot of hate because she’s in an interracial relationship, he is older, but at the end of the day, Alana’s not that 6-7-year-old child y’all fell in love with 11 years ago,” she told the outlet.
“Alana has grown up, she’s graduating high school next year, guys!”
This year in January, Pumpkin, Alana’s twenty-two-year-old sister won a custody battle against Mama June.
As reported by Hollywood Life, the mom has to pay $800 a month of child support.
The mom no longer has full custody over her daughter as a Georgia Judge awarded Pumpkin custody over the sixteen-year-old, instead.
According to court documents, June will have to go through Pumpkin in order to see Alana as a result of her being a minor.
But why has she lost custody of her daughter?
Well, in 2019, June Shannon, and her then-boyfriend were arrested for drug possession charges, as per the news outlet.
Alana has been living with Pumpkin for 3 years, since the arrest, and will continue to do so now that Pumpkin, who has 4 children, has won the custody battle against her mother.
In a document obtained by the news outlet, it stated that it’s in the “best interest” that Pumpkin has guardianship over the sixteen-year-old.
“The plaintiff has had guardianship of the minor child since April 29, 2019. It is in the best interest of the minor child that the plaintiff is awarded sole custody,” it said.
The document also states that June’s monthly income is “$25,000,” but states it is not a certain income.
“Her only certain income is disability in the amount of $1015.00 per month,” it continued.
Although June has now lost custody of her daughter, she has been doing better.
She’s now married to Justin Stroud, who she met on TikTok, and has been doing really well in her new relationship with him. She’s also 2 years sober!
And now in recent events, Alana has been spotted flashing a big diamond ring on a certain finger…
Posing for a photo shoot to introduce Pumpkin’s new twin babies to their fans, people noticed that she was wearing the rock on her ring finger.
This left many speculating whether Dralin had popped the question to Alana…
But Page Six reports that the ring is “just a ring” adding it “isn’t a sign that Alana and Dralin are ready to take the next step with their relationship.”
But with reports of Alana starting this new chapter, the star has denied the engagement rumors altogether…
According to the Daily Mail, Alana’s representative said the star was “not betrothed” and it was just a new accessory she has been flaunting.
Since then, Alana and Pumpkin have taken a jibe at June in a TikTok video…
In the video, Alana was seen dancing to a remix of Soulja Boy’s ‘Pretty Boy Swag’.
Alana labelled herself as a “sister who needed a momma.”
Pumpkin then comes into the video and the words: “The sister that came in clutch and raised her,” appeared on the screen.
In the caption of the video, the sisters wrote: “If you mad keep scrolling. Cause yep, it’s about you.”
The video was targeted at their mother, who lost custody of her youngest child in back 2019 after she was arrested on drug charges.
