June Shannon, popularly known as Mama June, is a TV personality whose early fame gained traction among reality TV lovers. 

The celebrity mom did not have an easy start as a teenager. The TV personality became pregnant with her first daughter, Anna Cardwell, when she was just 14 years old. After Anna’s birth, she had three more daughters: Jessica, Lauryn, known as “Pumpkin,” and Alana, born in 2005. 

Mama June came to the limelight when her youngest daughter, Alana, best known for her television name “Honey Boo Boo,” was featured in a television series. Mama June and her family began appearing on television in 2011 when Alana was 5. Alana found fame on the TLC series “Toddlers and Tiaras” upon gaining success in the children’s beauty pageant circuit. Alana’s family stood by her, especially her mother, who also fascinated viewers.

Over the years, Mama June’s life in the spotlight has drawn various opinions from fans and critics alike. After “Toddlers and Tiaras,” TLC gave the family their own TV show, “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo.” 

Mama June has found herself in many complicated situations, leading to the abrupt end of various shows that featured both herself and her family members. Despite this, fans have followed Mama June’s journey as she raised her children. 

Aside from following her family’s milestones, fans also became interested in Mama June’s physical transformation as she tried to lose weight. Keep reading to learn more about Mama June and her journey to achieving her ideal body. 

Mama June faced several legal issues that have strained her relationship with her children. In 2019, Mama June was arrested for possession of crack cocaine and drug paraphernalia, per an E! News report. 

She and her then-boyfriend, Geno Doak, faced charges including domestic violence in the third degree.

In a 2021 episode of “Mama June: Road to Redemption,” she and her daughter, Alana, discussed how the arrest affected their relationship. In 2020, she entered rehab to address her drug addiction issues.

Afterward, Mama June made amends as she went on to lose weight and mend her relationship with her children. She also began dating a tattoo artist, Justin Stroud. The relationship progressed, and in June 2023, Mama June shared on Instagram that she had married Stroud on March 23, 2022, in a courthouse in Georgia. They had another intimate wedding in 2023 in Panama City, Florida. This ceremony was filmed for the TV show “Mama June: Family Crisis.” Mama June’s family, including her children and grandchildren, attended the wedding.

The mom of four revealed that it was the first gathering of the entire family since 2014. Therefore, the memory of her wedding became even more special to her because of the support that was shown to her by her family and friends.

The reel garnered both positive and negative comments. Some fans expressed their admiration for Mama June with comments like “Beautiful 😍,” “Hot momma❤🔥😍” and so on. On the other hand, some people trolled the look.

One user commented:

“Photo shop that’s all they use. She doesn’t look like this at all.” 

Another user penned:

“Of course it looks amazing! It’s NOTHING BUT A TON OF FILTERS!!!!”

Another user said::

“Poured tons of makeup on her 😂.”

Mama June had earlier shared the post in October 2022, when she gave a shoutout to her stylist. The lengthy caption had the star mom convincing fans that her stylist could deliver an equally stunning look to any other person. She sweetly wrote:

“First pic is day 1 of glam here In El Paso Texas second pic day 2 of glam and the last pic is what it look after still looked awesome to me beside my side pony I done cause I was hot i’m telling @calebbeautyofficial is guy for all your glam need he can get u washed n blow out..”

Aside from updating her fans about her journey in discovering her love for fashion and beauty, Mama June has also shown her commitment to staying healthy and fit.

The TV personality started her transformation journey as early as 2015. According to Entertainment Tonight, she underwent gastric sleeve surgery, a known procedure to fast-track weight loss. However, she could not maintain the weight loss regimen and still gained weight afterward.

It was then revealed that she resorted to weight loss drugs. However, her daughter, Lauryn, revealed that Mama June had gone “a little overboard” on. Mama June confirmed that it was part of her strategy to continue losing weight. 

“Even though I’m losing weight, I’m only about three to four pounds a week,” Mama June said in June 2024 on Entertainment Tonight.

“It isn’t as fast as a gastric sleeve or a gastric bypass, but it is doing it, like, more safer.”

During her weight-loss journey, Mama June encountered highs and lows, including a time when she lost 30 pounds in just two months.

In June 2024, Mama June shared that her goal was to weigh around 170 to 180 pounds and that she had to lose around 74.2 pounds to achieve her desired body. 

Mama June’s weight-loss journey has been well documented on social media; even her husband has expressed his pride in his wife as she progressed. 

“It’s not really about losing weight. It’s about being able to be healthy,” he said about his wife. 

Mama June has shown her commitment to a healthy lifestyle by sharing her daily workouts and encouraging her followers to add more protein to their diet. 

In a social media post in November 2024, she revealed that she had lost 78 pounds since starting her journey at 285 pounds. Her progress inspired her fans and left encouraging comments on social media. 

“I’m so proud of you June! 🥰,” one said on TikTok. 

“Congrats onn your success - you look really good. Your skin looks great, by the way!” a fan commented.

“That’s amazing!!! I struggle so much with the Will power I can’t get right with myself!!,” another said on Instagram. 

“I’m so proud of you June ❤️❤️ Keep pushing strong Mama,” a user wrote.
