"Mama June" Shannon is staying on the reality show train nearly two years after losing "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo."
Besides her current stint on WE-TV's 'Marriage Boot Camp," the Hampton resident will appear on E!'s "Botched" to remove skin after losing 100 pounds. She ran into an Entertainment Tonight host Kevin Frazier at the airport earlier this week and he Instagrammed the news.
She and her former boo Mike "Sugar Bear" Thompson are appearing on the current edition of "Marriage Boot Camp Reality Stars," which airs on Friday nights at 9 p.m. on WE-TV> Two weeks ago, Sugar Bear revealed he had cheated on Mama June with other women. Then last Friday, he said he had experimented with guys as well.
Based on recent reports, it appears they are co-parenting Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson but are no longer together.
Honey Boo Boo's Facebook page also revealed that the family is working on another reality show that won't be on TLC. That network dumped "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" in 2014 after revelations that Mama June was cavorting with an ex boyfriend who had molested her oldest daughter.
