Alana Thompson Claims She ‘Never’ Received ‘Here Comes Honey Boo Boo’ Money
Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson might be a well-known reality star — but that doesn’t mean she’s been paid like one.
“I never had gotten all the money. I have never, ever received the Here Comes Honey Boo Boo money. I’ve never seen it,” Thompson, 19, claimed in an interview with People published on Saturday, May 24, alleging that she has received zero funds from her time starring on both reality TV shows Here Comes Honey Boo Boo and Toddlers & Tiaras.
“Never ever even heard of it, if I’m being completely honest,” she added. “I don’t know what happened to it.”
This isn’t the first time money has been a contentious topic for Thompson, who rose to fame when she starred on Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, which aired on TLC from 2012 to 2017. The series followed the child beauty pageant contestant and her family, including mom June “Mama June” Shannon — who stars in the WeTV spinoff series, Mama June: From Not to Hot. The show began airing in 2017, with season 7 set to premiere on May 30.
Alana 'Honey Boo Boo' Thompson: Custody Drama Caused 'Deep Depression'
An April 2025 trailer for the upcoming season revealed Thompson and Shannon are still sparring over cash. The clip begins with June telling the group, “Even though we might be a dysfunctional family, the dysfunctionality works for our family.” In the next clip, Thompson is seen asking Shannon for the money she owes, as June hands her what appears to be a dry-erase board in the shape of a giant check.
“This isn’t a game,” Thompson tells the camera.
Growing up as a reality TV star hasn’t just impacted Thompson’s bank account. The former beauty pageant star said her time in front of the cameras has also impacted her own body image — for better and for worse.
“For the most part, I’m very confident in myself and what I wear. I’m kind of just like, ‘Who gives a damn?’” Thompson, 19, exclusively told Us Weekly while promoting Lifetime’s new series I Was Honey Boo Boo. “A lot of people look at bigger girls and they’re like, ‘Oh, they’re not healthy.’ But I feel like healthy bodies come in all different shapes and sizes. I’m completely healthy. I may be a little bit bigger, but I’m completely healthy.”
Thompson — whose mom underwent a full body transformation, including a 2015 gastric sleeve — noted that the show contributed to her own issues surrounding body image and a sense of self..
“That was just mainly because my mom was going from not to hot,” Thompson explained to Us. “She was a bigger girl and I’ve always been a bigger girl myself too. And just to see my mom go from 300 pounds to 100 pounds was a shock to me just because it’s like, ‘Am I going to have to do that one day because I’m a bigger girl? [Are] people not going to love me until I get surgery or I’m this thin pretty little girl?’”

She continued, “So it was very hard on me, but after a while I noticed that either way my mom was still getting shown love, so I was like, I mean she’s still getting shown love.”

British Influencer Says She Was Robbed, Lost 'Everything' on U.S. Road Trip
British influencer Saffron Barker claimed that her recent vacation in Las Vegas ended with a robbery.
“This holiday was a nightmare,” she captioned a YouTube video posted on Friday, May 22. “Emergency surgery, we got robbed and they stole EVERYTHING.”
Before Barker, 24, shared the footage from her and boyfriend Josh Miln’s ill-fated getaway, she issued a disclaimer.
“Before this vlog starts properly, I just want to let you know that this video is a little bit all over the place,” Barker wrote at the start of her video. “You’ll understand why as soon as it gets started because it, honestly, was just bad luck after [bad] luck. However, I still wanted to post it as you’ll see throughout the video [that] we tried to make the best out of a lot of bad situations, which I think we did a good job of.”

She added, “I’m very grateful to have had Josh with me throughout this whole thing because it made me realize how now matter what life throws at you, you have to find happiness within it.”
Barker and Miln, who turns 24 later this month, traveled from Los Angeles to Las Vegas in a hired car.
“I think [it] is going to be the most incredible thing. I mean, I have done that with my parents before,” she said. “Like the fact that I’m doing it with Josh, I just think it’s going to be the best thing ever. Something we are dying to do is a road trip around America.”
Before Miln joined the YouTube star in California, Barker was briefly hospitalized for an ear infection after undergoing root canal surgery. She was discharged ahead of his arrival. The pair then set off to Sin City, stopping for lunch at the legendary Peggy Sue’s diner.

“Little did we know, whilst we were having food in the diner, someone broke into our car and stole EVERYTHING,” Barker wrote in a caption.
Once Barker and Miln went back out to the Jeep SUV, they discovered that the back window had been smashed and all of their belongings were no longer stored inside.
“We walked outside, and the car was completely smashed in,” she recalled. “Obviously, this is a car that we had rented. And inside was every single thing, I feel, that I own. I mean, our passports, cards [and] the list could go on and on. I mean, I genuinely have nothing, like handbags. The only thing we brought into our restaurant was our phones.”
Barker added, “Although it’s really sad that we’ve lost all that money and all the things that we’ve worked really hard for … it’s also just the inconvenience now of we can’t even get home [and] we don’t even have cards to pay for anything.”
According to Barker, she and Miln don’t even have their IDs on them, which also caused an issue when they arrived at their hotel.
“They didn’t actually even want to let us into the hotel because they were like, ‘But you don’t have a physical ID, even though I have my picture,’” Barker alleged. “That was a hassle, but at the same time, we keep saying how lucky we are that we could have been held at gunpoint [or] these people could have been following us.”
The hotel ultimately allowed Barker and Miln to check into their reserved room as they tried to figure out their next steps — including how to get back home.
“We were very naive because I’d never been there before,” Miln added, reflecting on the burglary. “You don’t really second-guess these things. We’re not really used to that way of life with expecting things to be taken for granted — like the safety of your things in a car. Looking back on it, we didn’t leave the car with things out in the spotlight. It just seems really bizarre.”

Summer Movie Preview: A Guide to the Must-Watch Films of the Season
This year has already delivered some incredible films — but no season does a blockbuster quite like summer.
From Tom Cruise’s latest — and potentially final — addition to the Mission: Impossible franchise to Celine’s Song’s highly anticipated romantic comedy The Materialists, all genres are ripe for the picking for theatergoers as temperatures continue to rise.
“People call romances chick flicks,” Song told Time in May of her quest to bring respect back to romance films after her Oscar-nominated debut, Past Lives. “Of course it’s tied to misogyny. But when people say it’s not important, I ask, ‘Not as important as what?’ When you watch a movie, we don’t all know what it’s like to save the world. But we know what it’s like to fall in love. It’s the biggest drama in our lives. It’s vital, and we need to talk about it more.”
If staying home is more your speed, streaming services are also doling out A-list content. Consider John Cena and Idris Elba’s Heads of State: The duo star, respectively, as the president of the United States and prime minister of the United Kingdom in this Prime Video buddy action comedy that follows the world leaders as are they are targeted by assassins.
15 Must-Watch Movies on Hulu Right Now (May 2025)
“Once the movie starts, it doesn’t stop, and it starts with Air Force One getting destroyed,” Cena teased exclusively to Us Weekly in May of what to expect in the high-stakes flick. “We get to run the presidential beast through the paces in what is an epic car chase. I’m hung out of a bank vault from a 30-story building. We jump off a train, and that’s just getting warmed up.”
