After overcoming an addiction battle that nearly tore her family apart, Mama June Shannon of Here Comes Honey Boo Boo and From Not To Hot fame is sober and smiling with a glam new look. It's been about a year and a half since she and her boyfriend Geno Doak took steps to get clean after dropping $2,500 daily for a few ounces of meth. While maintaining sobriety is no easy task, June appears to be happier than ever as she works to get her life back on track and mend the broken relationships with her daughters.
Over the past few seasons of WeTV's From Not To Hot, which was rebranded as Family Crisis for season four and Road To Redemption for season five, viewers watched the sad downfall of Mama June. Under the influence of drugs, she ultimately chose Geno over her daughters, Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson and Lauryn "Pumpkin" Shannon Efird, as well as her granddaughter Ella. However, following months of living out of a car, getting arrested and becoming involved with some seedy people, June and Geno successfully completed a 30-day rehab program at Banyan Treatment Center in Florida. Pumpkin and Alana agreed to hesitantly let June and Geno back into their lives.
While many, including Pumpkin and Alana, feared a relapse, it seems June is sticking with her sobriety. On Instagram, June shared a photo of herself looking glammed up and refreshed. She's sporting long, wavy blonde hair, colorfully manicured nails and brand new, sparkling white teeth. Even her outfit - a floral top with cut-out shoulders - is flattering. June captioned the photo, "Through it all I try to keep a smile on my face," and included the song "Beauty in the Struggle" by Bryan Martin.
June's glow-up is a stark contrast to how she appeared pre-rehab. She was missing teeth, her hair was messy and thinning, and she wore nothing but drably-colored hoodies, T-shirts and sweatpants. She also dropped a bunch of weight, but not in a healthy way. This was unfortunate to see because only a few years prior, June took pride in her appearance after undergoing weight loss surgery. Viewers couldn't wait to see June put on that unforgettable red dress to outshine Jennifer Thompson (ex-husband Mike "Sugar Bear" Thompson's new wife) at her own wedding.
Based on the Here Comes Honey Boo Boo star's Instagram Story, production for From Not To Hot season six is currently underway. The show left off with June and Geno attending their dreaded court hearing for drug possession. June wasn't sentenced to any jail time, but Geno had to return another day for a decision. Alana and Pumpkin were afraid that, if Geno went to prison, their mom may return to her old ways. Hopefully, this story has a happy ending and the family can focus on all the good things ahead, including Pumpkin's second child.
