Here Comes Honey Boo Boo

Mama June always keeps her daughter close to her ... revealing she has Anna "Chickadee" Cardwell's ashes in a piece of jewelry she always wears.

The reality star revealed the news to People in an interview published Saturday ... saying she has a bracelet filled with Anna's ashes -- partially as her way of keeping Cardwell's memory alive.

MJ told the outlet she's always toting Anna around and talks about her daughter a lot -- so, it certainly seems the late 29-year-old is never far from her mom's mind.

Honey Boo Boo's seems ready to cut her mom off ... saying she expects to get all her money back -- 'cause she doesn't mess around with thieves.

In the latest money-related development on "Mama June: Family Crisis" Alana Thompson -- better known as Honey Boo Boo -- and Lauryn "Pumpkin" Shannon sat Mama June down to figure out what she owes Alana.

The final tally ... the kids say it's about $35k -- no small chunk of change, and Mama June seems pretty indignant about payin' it back.

Honey Boo Boo ain't messin' around when it comes to her cash ... threatening Mama June with some legal drama for "stealing" her money.

Here's the deal ... the reality stars sat down for another money-related discussion on this week's episode of "Mama June: Family Crisis" -- with June handing over checks for her daughter Alana -- better known as Honey Boo Boo.

The small amount of money HBB receives shocked Mama's daughters who interrogate her about it ... before eventually admitting she spent some cash on cost of living expenses, like clothes and food.

That certainly upset her daughter ... who says in a confessional that she may need to consider legal action against her mom -- adding she feels June's stolen from her.

It seems like Alana's fed up with her mom ... 'cause this isn't the first time they've quarreled over cash.

Remember ... just last week, an episode came out where Honey Boo Boo said she felt her mom always had money for everyone else, but never for her -- and she accused her mom of spending more on her husband's gold chains than her own college.

Now, we know these episodes were shot a while ago ... 'cause the family's talking about Alana's college tuition money, and we know she's already in school. She's studying nursing in Colorado, and she says she received a $21,000 scholarship.

La memoria de Anna "Chickadee" Cardwell sigue viva, especialmente a través de las impresionantes fotos de su boda en marzo de 2023.

Tenemos las imágenes, en donde la hija de Mama June se ve resplandeciente en su vestido blanco, en la íntima boda con Eldridge Toney. La ceremonia se llevó a cabo en el condado de Wilkinson, Georgia, un poco después de ser diagnosticada con un carcinoma suprarrenal en estadio 4.

Anna llevaba un vestido blanco y Eldridge una camisa blanca y pantalones. Sus damas de honor -que fueron sus hermanas- sus 2 hijas y Mama June, los acompañaron sonriendo frente a la cámara.

TMZ dio la noticia, la pareja obtuvo un certificado de matrimonio, que muestra que el marido de una de las hermanas de Anna, Pumpkin, ofició la ceremonia.

El rodaje de "Mama June: From Not to Hot" también estaba sucediendo en ese momento. Equipos de cámara estaban presente.

Anna, que estaba recibiendo quimioterapia en el momento, no podría haber estado más radiante durante la ceremonia.

Anna "Chickadee" Cardwell's memory is living on -- especially through her stunning wedding pictures from March 2023.

We've got the snaps ... Mama June's daughter looks glowing in bridal white from her intimate wedding to Eldridge Toney in Wilkinson County, Georgia ... shortly after her stage 4 adrenal carcinoma diagnosis.

She's in a plunging white gown, Eldridge wears a white shirt and trousers ... with the bridesmaids, aka Chickadee's sisters, her 2 daughters, and Mama J, smiling big for snaps.

TMZ broke the story, the two obtained a marriage certificate ... which shows the husband of Anna's sister Pumpkin was the officiant during the day.

Filming for "Mama June: From Not to Hot" was also happening ... with camera crew present.

Anna, who was undergoing chemotherapy at the time, couldn't have looked more radiant during the ceremony.

Mama June scored a legal victory in her custody battle over Anna "Chickadee" Cardwell's oldest daughter ... she's been awarded temporary custody of Kaitlyn.

The reality TV star is duking it out in court with Michael Cardwell for custody of 11-year-old Kaitlyn, and a judge just ruled she should be with her grandmother, at least until a future court hearing on the matter ... according to new legal docs.

Michael -- who did have a daughter, Kylee, with Anna -- is not Kaitlyn's biological father.

In the docs, obtained by TMZ, Mama June says Kaitlyn does not have a legal father, and her biological father is unknown.

Mama says she's been caring for Kaitlyn since Anna's death, and says Kaitlyn moved in with her a month before Anna died from cancer.

As we reported ... Michael filed legal docs last month seeking custody of Kaitlyn, claiming he's taken a parental role in her life over the years despite not being her biological dad.

While there's no battle over 8-year-old Kylee -- she's living with her father -- June's vowed to continue fighting Michael for custody of Kaitlyn ... and so far she's winning.

Mama June anotó una victoria legal en la batalla por la custodia de la hija mayor de Anna "Chickadee" Cardwell y se le ha concedido la custodia temporal de Kaitlyn.

La estrella de telerrealidad está en pleno duelo en los tribunales con Michael Cardwell, el padre biológico de la hija menor de Anna —Kylee— por la custodia de Kaitlyn, de 11 años de edad. Un juez acaba de concederle la custodia a Mama hasta una futura audiencia sobre el asunto de acuerdo con nuevos documentos legales.

Michael, que tuvo una hija —Kylee—, con Anna, no es el padre biológico de Kaitlyn.

En los documentos obtenidos por TMZ, Mama June dice que Kaitlyn no tiene un padre legal y su padre biológico es desconocido.

Mama dice que ha estado cuidando a Kaitlyn desde la muerte de Anna y dice que Kaitlyn se mudó con ella un mes antes de que Anna muriera de cáncer.

Como informamos, Michael presentó documentos legales el mes pasado en busca de la custodia de Kaitlyn, alegando que ha tomado un papel parental en su vida a lo largo de los años a pesar de no ser su padre biológico.

Mama June está acallando los rumores de que estaba tomando drogas mientras hacía un video en vivo en TikTok, ya que según ella ha estado sobria durante años.

June hizo una transmisión en vivo, en la que divagaba mientras hablaba de la gente que la critica. En el video, repetidamente se la ve por debajo de la línea de visión de la cámara.

La gente empezó a especular que esto era una señal de que estaba de vuelta en las drogas, pero Mama June le dice a TMZ: "He estado sobria desde el 27 de enero de 2020", y agregó: "No tomo drogas, no fumo cigarrillos y ni siquiera bebo".

June nos dice que estaba cocinando durante la transmisión en vivo y se agachaba para poder leer los comentarios que le llegaban. También señaló que está ciega del ojo derecho, lo que hace que sea un desafío para ella leer.

June nos dice que se hace pruebas de drogas semanalmente, algo necesario para la producción de su programa "Mama June: From Not to Hot". Dice que nunca ha fallado una prueba y agrega: "Eso no me mantiene limpia, yo me mantengo limpia".

Mama June is shutting down rumors she was doing drugs while live on TikTok ... because according to her, she's been sober for years.

June was on a live stream, where she rambles while talking about people trashing her. She repeatedly ducks down below the camera's line of sight.

Folks speculated it was a sign she was back on drugs, but Mama June tells TMZ ... "I have been straight sober since Jan 27, 2020," adding, "I don't do drugs, I don't smoke cigarettes and I don't even drink."

June tells us she was cooking food during the live stream, and was bending down so she could read the comments coming her way ... noting she's blind in her right eye, making reading a challenge.

June tells us she takes weekly drug tests ... something required for the production of her show, "Mama June: From Not to Hot." She says she never failed a test, adding, "That doesn’t keep me clean, I keep me clean."

Mama June is being dragged to court in a custody battle for Anna "Chickadee" Cardwell's oldest daughter ... and Mama says she's prepared to duke it out.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, the biological father of Anna's youngest daughter, Kylee, is suing Mama June for custody of Anna's 11-year-old daughter, Kaitlyn.

Michael Cardwell already took custody of 8-year-old Kylee, who he had with Anna, after her recent death ... and he says he's taken a parental role in Kaitlyn's life over the years despite not being her biological dad.

In the docs, Michael says Anna fostered and supported his relationship with Kaitlyn when Anna was still alive ... he says he behaved as though he were Kaitlyn's dad and claims Anna was on board with him continuing to spend time with Kaitlyn even after he and Anna separated. He also says he's paying for Kaitlyn's education.

Mama June tells TMZ … she hasn't been served with any legal papers yet but said she "can see him in court." The reality TV star says Kaitlyn wants to stay with her and her husband, Justin, and insists a change in custody "would be going against her wishes."

As we first told you ... Mama June took custody of Kaitlyn in the wake of Anna's death and was planning to try to become her legal guardian.

Mama June tells us Anna, who died from cancer, wanted Kaitlyn to live with MJ ... and she claims Michael knew the plan beforehand.

Michael claims Kaitlyn's biological father has never been involved in her life ... but Mama June says that means she should be the one to step into the parent role.

In the docs, Michael opens up some old family wounds, saying ... "Anna has had a very sorted [sic] relationship with her mother throughout her life and went various periods of time without speaking to her." He says Mama's presence in Kaitlyn's life has also been inconsistent.

Those who loved Anna 'Chickadee' Cardwell the most just had a chance to say goodbye to the reality star ... paying respects at her Georgia funeral only days after she passed away.

Members of Anna's family -- including Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson and Lauryn "Pumpkin" Efird -- showed up at the Williams Funeral Home in Gordon, GA Wednesday.

Mama June and Anna's 11-year-old daughter, Kaitlyn also attended the memorial. TMZ broke the story, Mama June is now in custody of Kaitlyn following her mom's death last week.

Anna's husband, Eldridge Toney, and June's husband Justin Stroud were also in attendance.

As we first reported, the production crew for "Mama June: From Not to Hot" was documenting Anna's cancer struggles, but decided against filming the funeral services. There was also a sign outside the venue prohibiting guests from using phones inside.

As you'll recall, Anna died on Saturday due to complications from her cancer battle ... she was suffering from stage 4 adrenal carcinoma, which doctors told her was terminal.
