LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson is not reportedly happy with how her mother, June Shannon, popularly known as Mama June, returned her "stolen" money.

The 45-year-old had allegedly taken $30,000 from her daughter’s Coogan account. But now, she’s finally repaid, as reported by People.

In a sneak peek of the June 6 episode of ‘Mama June: Family Crisis’, Honey Boo Boo told her mother, “It was nice that you finally came to your senses and paid me my money back.”

To which, Mama June Shannon responded, “I've got the check so it can be squashed. This is the check that you can have,” presenting her with a large check. 

However, the teenager, who starred in 'Screen Junkies Show', expressed her annoyance in a confessional she mentioned, “The only thing I can say is ridiculous. It's like, she thinks it is a game, and she's like, ‘Alana, here's your check.’ Like, no, this isn't a game.”

“You're gonna take the bank,” Mama June answered.

Later, the 19-year-old actress shared that she'll use the money to “build the future she wants.”

She said, “Of course, this money is gonna help me pay for school and help me get the education that I want. But at the end of the day, it was the principal, and it's like it should have never happened.”

“Still, don't ever think I'll get over the fact that my mom stole my money,” Honey Boo Boo added.

Mama June Shannon was then shown asking her daughter if they’re fine now.

Honey Boo Boo replied, “I mean, we're good as far as the money, but like, deep down, it's gonna take some time. This isn't just like a little hurdle to jump over. This is like a whole mountain to climb over.”

This came after last month the 19-year-old revealed that she never got her money earned from ‘Toddlers & Tiaras’ and ‘Here Comes Honey Boo Boo’.

She claimed, “I never had gotten all the money. I have never, ever received the Here Comes Honey Boo Boo money. I've never seen it. Never ever even heard of it, if I'm being completely honest. I don't know what happened to it.”
