Mama June shuts live TikTok drug speculations, says she has been ‘sober’ since 2020 and doesn't drink

MILLEDGEVILLE, GEORGIA: Mama June Shannon, the reality TV star, has denied the rumors that she was doing drugs during a live TikTok session.

She claimed that she has been sober for years and does not indulge in substance abuse.

Mama June says she was cooking food and reading comments

The speculation started when Mama June appeared to be rambling and ducking below the camera repeatedly while talking about people trashing her.

Some viewers thought that she was hiding something or using drugs. The video was also posted by users on Reddit.

However, Mama June told TMZ that she was just cooking food and trying to read the comments that were coming her way. She also explained that she has a vision problem in her right eye, which makes reading difficult.

Mama June takes weekly drug tests for her show

Mama June also revealed that she takes weekly drug tests as part of the production of her show ‘Mama June: From Not to Hot.’

She said that she has "never failed a test" and that she is not afraid of failing one. She said that she keeps herself clean because she wants to, not because of the show. " That doesn’t keep me clean, I keep me clean," she said.

“I have been straight sober since Jan 27, 2020,” she said, adding, “I don’t do drugs, I don’t smoke cigarettes and I don’t even drink.”

Mama June had a dark past with drugs and a tragic loss

Mama June’s sobriety is a remarkable achievement considering her dark past with drugs. She was arrested in 2019 for felony drug possession with her ex, Geno Doak. She also had an intervention from her family and admitted to spending $1 million on cocaine.

Mama June and her family also suffered a tragic loss earlier this month when her oldest daughter, Anna Cardwell, passed away after a 10-month battle with cancer.

Mama June announced the news on Instagram, saying that Anna died peacefully in her home with her family around her. She asked for prayers and thoughts for her family during this difficult time.

"With the breaking heart, we are announcing that @annamarie35 is no longer with us," she posted along with a photograph of the family.

"She passed away in my home last night peacefully at 11.12 pm. She gave one hell of a fight for 10 months she passed away with her family around her like she won’t and we will be updating y’all with more information as we get it today.

"We love y’all and continued prayers and thoughts for our family doing this difficult time," she said.

Meanwhile, Mama June's trip to Disney World along with family right after Anna Cardwell's death also sparked an online fury recently.
