LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Mama June and her daughter Alana, also known as Honey Boo Boo, butted heads over financial matters, specifically concerning college tuition, TMZ reported.

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.

Honey Boo Boo, also known as Alana Thompson, has ignited a heated discussion on social media after addressing her mother's refusal to contribute to her college expenses.

The internet reacted swiftly to Honey Boo Boo's predicament, with users sharing their opinions on the matter.

One user voiced support for Alana, saying, "Go get your money honey boo boo!! You should have money for college after that TV series."

Others echoed similar sentiments, highlighting the sacrifices Alana made during her childhood for the sake of the show and arguing that she should be entitled to support for her education.

"June made a lot of money exploiting Alana long before she could consent to her college paid for a reasonable expectation for her to have because she gave so much of her childhood to reality television. She expects to work for a living or why would she be going to college? I think kids who work in entertainment should have a bit of a leg up starting adulthood because they did work for it even it’s untraditional work."

Another user wrote, "Her mom spent money intended for her. Fyi."
