She added: “That doesn’t keep me clean, I keep me clean.”
Mama June was arrested in 2019 on felony drug possession charges along with her ex Geno Doak.
Her family held an intervention for the couple.
She later confessed to spending “like $1.5 million” on drugs in a candid interview with Us Weekly.
EMOTIONAL MOMENTS
A trailer for the upcoming season of Mama June: Family Crisis suggests that fans will get a glimpse at the reality star’s real-life struggles and more when the show returns.
The show is due to premiere in February and will document the aftermath of Mama June’s daughter Anna Cardwell’s death.
She battled adrenal carcinoma for 10 months.
In the trailer, Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson‘s graduation, Anna’s cancer battle, and some tense family moments are highlighted.
In a confessional, Mama June’s daughter Lauryn “Pumpkin” Efrid said: “Anna’s cancer is very aggressive.”
She was shown sitting in a restaurant as she told someone: “I don’t need any more stress on me.”
The trailer cut to Mama June wiping tears from her face as she looked away from the camera.
Fans took to the comments on the clip to express their condolences.
One fan reacted with: “Going to be praying for y’all as this airs. I know it’s gonna be tough reliving this.”
A second chimed in: “I cry every season but I know this one is going to break my heart.”
Yet a third wrote: “Can’t wait to see it but don’t want you guys to relive it either.”
“Aww, Anna… we miss you darlin’,” another comment read.
STILL FIGHTING
Following Anna’s death, Mama June has found herself under an incredible amount of stress.
In addition to dealing with the loss herself, she is battling Anna’s ex Michael in court.
Mama June has demanded permanent custody of her granddaughter Kaitlyn after Michael filed a lawsuit seeking the same rights.
According to legal documents obtained by The U.S. Sun, Mama June petitioned a Georgia judge on Monday for permanent sole legal and physical custody of Kaitlyn.
Mama June was awarded emergency guardianship of her granddaughter on December 15.
She argued that she is the best person to continue caring for Kaitlyn moving forward.
“Since the mother’s passing, the child has remained in the care, custody, and control of Petitioner,” the reality stated in the court filing documents.
“Petitioner previously had temporary guardianship of the child. More recently, approximately one month before passing, the mother and child began residing with Petitioner.”
Mama June claimed that she is “not aware of any interested parties other than herself that would have standing to seek custody of the child.”
She has not acknowledged Michael’s filing.
Mama June continued in the papers: “Petitioner is not aware of any other actions involving custody of the child pending in this or any other state.
“Petitioner has not participated as a party or witness in any other actions involving the child, not otherwise referenced herein,” the reality star continued in her court papers.
Michael is the biological father of Anna’s youngest daughter, Kylee, eight, whom he currently has full custody of.
