Alana Thompson Says She's Never Received Any Money Earned from Toddlers and Tiaras or Here Comes Honey Boo Boo

Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson reveals she's never received any money from her days on 'Toddlers and Tiaras' and 'Here Comes Honey Boo Boo' this week's issue of PEOPLE.

After Thompson and her sister Lauryn "Pumpkin" Efird asked Shannon about her earnings to pay for her college education, they discovered that their mother intentionally deposited the bare minimum she was legally required to and her account only had a balance of $10,000 after countless years on television. Per the official logline, the movie offers a glimpse into what went on behind the scenes, revealing how her on-stage persona "concealed the harsh reality of constant criticism and family struggles, particularly with her mother, Mama June." "I'm hoping that there's more work coming for me in the future, but with this movie plus filming on the [ Mama June: Family Crisis] show, I've just kind of been saving and making sure that I don't get to the end of my pot," she says.
