TLC's "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" is ending its run.

On Friday, TMZ reported that the network has canceled the series in light of claims that the program's newly separated matriarch, June "Mama June" Shannon, is dating Mark Anthony McDaniel, a man who served 10 years in prison after being convicted of aggravated child molestation in 2004 and who is a registered sex offender.

do they advertise thing dresses?

[GeronL]

You would think that being on TV she would try to lose weight and that by being famous she would be able to do better than hooking up with a child predator.

[GeronL]

what makes you think the child molester is interested in the woman?

[GeronL]

but the exact pedo she is seeing is one that preyed on one of her own relatives.

That is triple sickening

I can’t say I’ve seen that SP, thought so though. What a shame, just gonna have to go see!

[Morgana]

I’M NOT SURPRISED. She named her kid “Honey Boo Boo”????

I mean come on.

[W.]

I wouldn't force a kid, either. If they want to do it, fine, I reckon.

She spends he life with the child beauty contest crowd.

Seems to me they are ALL child predators

I am wondering how this woman manages to snare a man at all.

If she is dating a pedophile, he wasn't attracted to her. Clearly this is a woman who has no compunction about using her own daughter.

I've heard of the show but don't even know (or want to know) what it's about. What interests me about the story is trying to imagine what would lead any woman to date a man with that resume. I don't care what else he's done, child molestation should be decisive.

You can take the poor out of “poor white trash” but you can never take the trash out!

Fat, ugly, stupid and living off of using her daughter as a freak show.

Much ado about something that happened 10 years ago. Say what you will but I’d rather have them as neighbors than the Kardashians.

[midnightcat]

Agreed. However, there was a previous man who got her pregnant!

[BunnySlippers]

Especially since Honey Boo Boo is nearing the age of his last victim.

[bgill]

You really should have read the entire article or done a search for another source. She last dated him 10 years ago.

I am wondering how this woman manages to snare a man at all.

That has always puzzled me too. My guess is very low standards, low IQ's and alcohol all play some role.

[Bubba_Leroy]

The Mama June woman is the most repulsive woman I have ever had the displeasure to see and hear.

"But I'm so purty."

[wbill]

Well, even if she DOES have money

IMO...

All of the money will be gone quickly, and all she'll have to show for it are some nice tattoos.

"Ohhhh Nooooo!"
