The TLC show "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" has been axed amid allegations the show matriarch, "Mama" June Shannon, is dating a convicted child molester, and the former beauty queen's sister will discuss the ordeal on "Entertainment Tonight."

"It's Mama's fault," Anna "Chickadee" Cardwell says in an advance clip of the interview, scheduled to air tonight. "She has brought the past back. I feel betrayed. He's not supposed to be around kids and she let him around Alana and Pumpkin."

The clip promoting the "Entertainment Tonight" interview describes it as "starting Thursday," indicating the network may stretch out the interview over several days.

“I have not seen that person in 10 years and don’t want to see that person.”

Then TMZ posted recent photos showing them together, and Shannon removed her video.

Meanwhile Lee "Uncle Poodle" Thompson, brother of June's former partner Mike "Sugar Bear" Thompson, called her out in a series of posts on his public Facebook page.

He later removed the series of back-and-forth, saying he was moving on and staying positive. He's also hinted at potential future opportunities, just as an online fan petition has been launched demanding a new spin-off show for the two Thompson brothers.
