Tensions rise in the Shannon family as accusations of financial mismanagement surface, with Mama June Shannon facing backlash from her daughter, Alana Thompson.

In the latest episode of 'Mama June: Family Crisis', which aired on Friday, March 22, Mama June found herself at the center of a storm as her children confronted her over allegations of misappropriating Alana's earnings.

During the episode, it was revealed that Mama June had withdrawn funds from Alana's Coogan account, a trust set up to safeguard child stars' earnings. Alana expressed frustration, stating, "Mama's really pissing me off because she’s trying to make everything about her damn self and it's like where’s my money?"

In a heated family meeting, Mama June presented a statement of Alana's Coogan account, showing significantly less than expected. Alana's elder sister, Lauryn "Pumpkin" Efird, voiced disbelief, claiming the amount should have been "at least over $200,000."

Mama June defended her actions, alleging that a significant portion of Alana's earnings had been spent on necessities and investments for the family.

Alana, adamant about reclaiming her funds, expressed her intention to pursue legal action if necessary. She asserted, "I do expect the money to be paid back, or we're going to take (June) to court."
