When Mama June first entered the reality TV world as a cast member on Toddlers & Tiaras back in 2012, her vibe was light hearted and fun. It didn’t take long for her and her daughter, Alana AKA Honey Boo Boo, to become so popular that they were eventually given their own show. Sadly, however, in just a few years, things in Mama June’s life had taken a 180. Between personal struggles and the pressures associated with being in the spotlight, June began to find herself sinking lower and lower. In 2017, she returned to reality TV with her own series, Mama June: Road To Redemption. The show focuses on June as she fights her addiction and get her life back on the right track. The road isn’t going to be easy, but June is determined not to give up. Keep reading to find out what we know about the show.
1. There’s Some Tension Between June And Alana
There was once a time when June and Alana were closer than closer. Sadly, things have really changed between the two. June’s drug addiction caused her to drop the ball when it came to being a parent, and the two have actually been living apart for some time now. While Alana has done her best to try to have a ‘normal’ life, she can’t help but acknowledge the whole that’s been in her life due to her mother’s absence.
During this season of Mama June: Road To Redemption, Alana will confront a lot of the issues she has with her mom. Hopefully the two will be able to get back on track, but realistically there is probably a lot of healing that has to happen before they can start to rebuild their relationship.

If you’ve been keeping up with Mama June’s journey since the beginning then you know just how sad it’s been to watch her decline. In addition to what the drugs have done to her body, they’ve also impacted her in other ways. Mama June has had some run ins with the law, some of them have been serious.

Addiction is a lifelong battle and it’s something that people have to take one day at a time. Fortunately for June, each day is getting brighter. After years of actively using drugs, it appears that she’s finally on the right track. She has been sober for a little over a year and she’s going strong. According to Hollywood Life June said, “I don’t have all the answers, but I will well listen and try to help the best way I can. Their(sic) [are] people that I have to talk to for [months] and watch them struggle when they first reached out to me, and now, being able to overcome some other struggles, I love honestly helping out and give back.’
The fact that June is sober means that her entire demeanor may be a little different than people are used to. It also means that there will hopefully be lots of happy and healthy moments on the show.
