This revelation came as a shock to the rest of the family, who were taken aback by Mama June's inability to support her daughter's education.
Alana expressed her frustration, pointing out that Mama June had recently spent money on her husband Justin Stroud's extravagant gold chains. Additionally, Alana's sister Lauryn 'Pumpkin' Efird voiced her disappointment in their mother's lack of support during a confessional segment.
Given Lauryn and her husband Josh's role in caring for Alana during Mama June's struggles with drug addiction, it's understandable why she would side with her sister on this issue.
In a candid confession, Honey Boo Boo shared her feelings of neglect, stating that while Mama June was generous with others, she felt overlooked and neglected when it came to her own needs.
Despite the tension, Alana has been pursuing her college education, majoring in nursing at Regis University in Colorado. She managed to secure a $21,000 scholarship, which has alleviated some of the financial burden associated with her studies.
