Honey Boo Boo And Family Request A Pay Raise For Season Two

Honey Boo Boo And Family Request A Pay Raise For Season Two

Honey Boo Boo Pay Raise

Honey Boo Boo and her family are requesting a bigger paycheck for the second season of their hit TLC reality show Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Since the network is making quite a bit of money from the program thanks to its popularity in the ratings, the family is looking to cash in on the phenomenon as well. Reports indicate the family is asking for around $10,000 per episode next season.

A source explained to THR that the Georgia natives are currently in negotiations with the network and are looking to substantially increase their payday by asking for a raise. Their request is certainly understandable; TLC is enjoying quite a bit of success with Honey Boo Boo which, in turn, is probably generating a healthy cash flow for the cable network. Now, it would seem, Honey Boo Boo and her family are looking to grab a piece of the proverbial pie.

Although June Shannon and her brood are asking for $10,000, sources suggest that the family may only receive $8,000 per episode. Considering Honey Boo Boo and company reportedly made approximately $40,000 for their stint on the show’s first season, this increase would certainly help pad the back account.

Despite the show’s success in the ratings, not everyone is a big fan of Here Comes Honey Boo Boo. According to the Associated Press, residents of McIntyre, Georgia aren’t overly fond of the town’s famous family. “I don’t mind it, it’s just that it doesn’t give a good image for the county since it is a small county, and it’s a really family-oriented county, and we are basically, you know, church-goers down here, and a lot of the things they do … we don’t agree with it,” Carolyn Snead explained.

Figure skating champion and fellow reality television star Johnny Weir is reportedly very afraid of Honey Boo Boo and her family. “There is nothing lovable about that child or her family. At least I’m a little bit lovable. They scare the s— out of me, those people. Honey Boo Boo has to live a little more to be the new Johnny Weir,” he explained to The Huffington Post.

Do you think Honey Boo Boo and her family deserve a pay raise?

    Not even worth the 8k they MIGHT get.

    worth maybe 5 dollars an episode, if they need more $, diets all around would lower their food bill.

  3. Honey Boo Boo should not be on television. What a brat!

  4. this is the worst show I have ever seen———no manners , no self respect nothing———i watched it twice in hopes I was wrong-I AM NOT——————DO NOT LET YOUR CHILDREN THESE PARENTS ARE HORRIBLE ROLE MODELS.

  10. who would the $$$ be going to? is my question… And why are the parents trying to exploit their daughter is beyond me? She's a kid, she probably doesn't even care!

    I love to watch Honey Boo Boo. If you can't say something nice then don't say anything at all. A lot of people are just jealous of the family. I'm not saying I agree with a lot of the things they say, but you got to admit the kids are not neglected. They do get fed.

    That little girls mother should be IMPRISONED for what she has made her become ! That little girl will just grow up to be a " FLOOZY " and she can thank her warped mother for it……! People like that make me SICK !……OPPORTUNISTS' PIMPING THEIR CHILDREN to make a buck !……

    Honey Boo Boo is a Brat, but it's not her fault. Her and her sisters don't even have a chance at a normal life, with the kind 0f parents they have.

    I think it's sad that this show is even on the air. I feel bad for that little girl.

    I've seen a lot of well-to-do parents that have kids that grow up to be floozies, drug heads and murderers. Movie stars exploit their children to make a buck. It doesn't matter to me one way or the other how much they get paid. We all fart. lol It's pure entertainment for me. :)

  16. This show is a terrible way to portray how people in America live. I am embarrassed to think that people in other countries could watch this and think we are all like these people. And the show just plain sucks!

  17. its a show based on her why wouldn't they pay her.

  18. I can't imagine anyone watching this show, amazing how anyone watches the show, watching parents exploit their children like a piece of meat hoping to cash in their exploitation. The network should be held accountable of exploitation of a minor. Shame on the Network, hope you lose money putting out this crap!

    I happen to enjoy this show. I think Honey Boo Boo is a doll and funny. June is a loving mother doing her damnedest to care for her family and she is just happy, ya know? She's always smiling and laughing and playing with her children and I just love that. Papa Bear seems like a hard working man, doing what he supposed to for his family. How many "men" are there out there NOT doing what they are supposed to for even one child let alone a FAMILY? I know a few myself. I'm going by what I've seen thus far and I didn't witness anything they did as shameful in any way. Take it easy, let the family earn some added well-needed income. As far as how much they are getting, they should be getting even more than 10K, you're huge, wealthy, cable station and I'm sure you're making a hell of a lot more off this family's show than they are. Y'all should just redneckognize! LOL

  20. I don't think $10,000.00 per episode for the entire family is asking too much! Look at Kate (+8), she really milked the network. I find the show to be entertaining and also like the fact they are just themselves and seem to be a happy family no matter what they have or don't have! Give the kid a break, she's only six!

  21. She and her family are NO different than the other "Toddler & Tiara" families – They just started at a "lower income" level – Alana's Mother is no different that the other Mothers trying to give her daughter every chance at winning – Do I agree with everything that the family does – No – But they have every right to try and better their lot in life – AND yes she and her family do deserve an increase in stipend – around $25,000 per show with half of it going to an educational fund for all the children – I hope they get several more seasons so we can see watch the whole family grow -

    Jay A. Shepard Oh, come off it! Imprisoned? "Floozy"? Who says floozy anymore? Pimping? You've got to be kidding me. I see a barely-getting-by family acquiring some well-needed income. The children are not abused in any way and they are just a fun loving family enjoying themselves. If you don't have anything constructive to say, don't say anything at all.

    creepy weirdos…how/why is this twisted form of "entertainment" allowed? I hate greedy corporate pigs that will sell anything, regardless of how bizarre and morally corrupt the subject matter is…and shame on this family for whoring this little girl like that, she'll never be right. it's sad.

  28. Joan Cruz
    Sep 19, 2012

    Unfortunately, yes I heard (read) you and I find you very entertaining and caveman like. You couldn't be more wrong as far as me being a liberal (insesrt belly laugh here)! I am an American. And, not that it is any of your concern I do have kids, what's your point? I don't think you want to have that dance with me. Good day, sir.

    great lessons for a six year old…think for a minute or two

  33. It's always nice to explore the way different people's family dynamics. I think this family is real, and I , for one, am impressed that they can cope with having cameras in their faces for the better part of their day. Would you let a national TV camera crew follow you around in your house? If your answer is no, then you don't have half the courage this family does. She is an adorable child with real people as her family unit. I see alot of love. Do I sgree with everything they do? No. But I would probable have a few things to say about the way you live as well. I say give them their season. And their 10k.

    Erika, and that is your perrogative. As far as labeling this show as some type of "child abuse" is really a disturbing accusation actually. I would really like to hear some "factual evidence" as to the validity of that accustion. What, that you saw, are you labeling child abuse? Just one example, I would truly like to see your point of view. Enlighten me.

  50. If I had the money I would pay her to go to "little lady" training. Her actions are gross and do set a good example for our youth. Don't know why she even gets paid to act like a brat. She is gross!

    Sep 19, 2012

    She can be for sure I don't need her pity. I pity her that she can't let this kid and her family have their 15 minutes of fame. It's not hurting anybody, especially me. Being a senior citizen it gives me some entertainment and a good laugh on Wednesday nights. It's better than a show with a lot of cussing and swearing that is in most movies now days. I'm not prude and I'll say my cuss words occasionally, but sometimes it get to be a too much. Look at all the Housewives of whatever and the F word they throw around constantly. Lucky for the kiddos it's a late night show. Yes, I watch them too. Hey, I can do that….I've earned my time to stay up late. lol

    Are you kidding me? Other reality show people get 5 times (OR MORE) that amount PER episode! I know…Honey Boo Boo isn't everyone's cup of tea, but I personally like the show. They are strange, but lovable at the same time. LOL I say, if TLC is making tons of money and the show's ratings are high, they darn-well should be making more money per episode!

    I believe they are getting her help this week in her manners. So, yes, the mom is looking out for her welfare. We don't know what goes on when the cameras go off. It seems to me that she's having loads of fun interacting with others in the town. I believe she's having a wonderful childhood. She has the love of her family, which a lot of kids don't now days. Other kids are just dropped off at the mall and it's left to babysit. Or, dropped off at the movies. Kids now are given everything under the sun and do not even know how to use their imagination anymore to have fun. It seems like this little girl doesn't have all those extra toys to play with and can make her own fun. I can tell the difference between a happy child and a child that's so spoiled rotten that they have no clue what's going on other than what's on their FB page with their friends. That's why computers come with parental controls now days. Stop and think about it.

    Rosa Casdia we see about 24 minutes of their lives each episode, so I'm sure they find "friend" time for her. I'm not privy to any inside information, but if you think about it they only made 5 shows, so that leaves a lot of time in their lives we just don't see. I know she has a lot of fun with her sisters. Sisters are friends too. She did visit an awesome looking water park on one episode! She was having a ball! So, I'm thinking we just don't see the "play time" with other children. It could be that TLC will only film the commaradarie of the family. Who knows. As far as manners, she's 4~! I think she's still in the learning stage of life.

    I have to agree with Patsy in that Alana enjoys the pageants, it's clear. I haven't seen June display the forcefull pushing and prodding attitude of a lot of the other Mom's and Dad's on Toddler's and Tiaras. I've seen plenty of them.

  87. I THINK THEY SHOULD PAY ME $10,000 AN EPISODE TO WATCH! THESE PEOPLE ARE HARDER TO WATCH THAN LISTENING TO NAILS BEING DRAGGED ACROSS A CHALK BOARD OR HEARING BABY LAMBS BEING SLAUGHTERED. THESE PEOPLE ARE CORPULENT, OVEREATING, GROTESQUELY OBESE, TRAILER-DWELLING SLOBS AND THE MOTHER NEEDS GASTRIC BYPASS SURGERY AND IS A HORRIBLE EXAMPLE OF A PARENT. THEY'RE AN EMBARRASSMENT TO AMERICA! IN A WAY I FEEL SORRY FOR THE KID THOUGH BECAUSE ONCE THE SHOW GETS CANCELLED AND THE MONEY RUNS OUT, HER MANNERS WILL GET EVEN WORSE. SHE'LL PROBABLY END UP ON DRUGS AND THEN REHAB.

    Lordy, I've seen some of those mama's get so mean and talk down to their kids when they didn't win or if they start crying. I've seen nothing but love for Alana when she didn't win or cry. She's always being hugged. It also brings new meaning of, "Have you hugged your child today?" Most will say "No."

    this is the most stupid show ever this family is just so sicking….

  91. I think that if the network is making big bucks then the family should be paid accordingly, whether or not you like the show or the family.

  92. I absolutly do not have cable television for this reason. She shouldn't have a show! She is just a spoiled brat that gets what she wants. I sure am glad that my children cannont watch this horrific show and learn her bad habbits.

  93. I'm not trying to say the child isn't loved, but you gotta remember, they get the big bucks from the show, whether Alana wins or loses. I can't help but believe this is all about the money…that child apparently has always had a life full of love…even when the family was struggling, like so many families are these days.

  94. Patsy Christian Borak

    And with so many families struggling to make a living now days and trying to get their hands on as much money as they can to live…..I can't blame them for wanting a raise. With three kids and a little baby and the two of them they need all they can get. They probably don't have much in the way of insurance for their medical expenses, etc. I remember when I grew up, and you do too, Rhonda, that when Daddy died and left 7 at home we all worked to help out with the family expenses and had little left over. No health insurance whatsoever. So, a family gotta do what a family gotta do.

    And what is the harm in it being for the money? It's helping support a family of 4 children, a mother, a father and a new grandbaby.

  102. I love honey boo boo and the whole family go honey boo boo.

    Laurie, doesn't matter…..at least they're being fed instead of being locked in a closet and not being fed anything but bread and water.

  104. Oh come on. They may not act like your family, but you can't deny that they are a loving family (as unrefined as they may be). It's entertainment. Watch. Laugh a little bit. They sure as hell do.

  105. Sorry Joan, what I see is exactly what I see on all these child pageant shows…a family exploiting their young child for profit. Unfortunately, I don't find honey boo boo to be very cute, which actually I kind of like. She is very much a regular child; although her manners leave a lot to be desired, even if she's only 5. What do you expect when you grow up in a family that plays "whose breath is it"?? Obviously TLC knew the public would laugh, and not in a good way, at this family and I'm embarrassed for them. I fear that these children will grow up and realize they were considered a joke, how will that effect their self esteem? Again, I hate all shows that exploit children, even if the parents swear this is what the child wants. No matter my thoughts, they do seem to truly love and support each other.

  106. Put them,the kardashians,and all the other reality "stars" on a slow boat that leaks .

  107. Please no more "reality." Send them back to school, to weight watchers, to church, most certainly to WORK. No more Honey Boo Boo. Like watching a slow motion train wreck in a trailer park. Everyone turn it off.

  108. If the family gets the raise does that mean they will stop dumpster diving?

  109. If the family gets the raise does that mean they will stop dumpster diving?

  110. I don't think she should be paid at all, what's wrong with producers to even make the show?

  111. I have watched it once and did not care for it…

  112. I hate it,all that make up,these days anything sells,hate reality shows

  113. Me too ans me neither ! It will rot your brain!!!! :(

  114. I totally agree with you. All I can see is that the family is raising that "child" to be a slut; and they are her pimps.

    It's called acting people. This mother does not love her children. She is ACTING for the cameras. Its very obvious considering this little hell child's actions. When the cameras are off, this home is a fucking zoo I would imagine. If this mother truly loved her child she wouldn't do this crap to her in the first place. Let her BE a KID.

    Betty, you said it just right! When it first came on, we watched and I said it was like a train wreck…you just couldn't look away. LOL Now we're kinda' stuck on it! Hahahaha

    Eth and I love it. You're right…just like a train wreck!

  120. I THINK IT IS STUPID. IT SURE IS NOT FUNNY. THAT MOM AND DAD ARE EXPLOTTING THEIR KIDS. IT IS AWFUL.

  121. Hey, at least they aren't on welfare! The kid is funny. They maybe be white-trash but at least they love each other and have a good time.

    I feel sorry for the people who actually think there is nothing wrong with the child or her family—and they watch this trash? I watched quite a few of the mini videos and found them to be disgusting. Her entire family spoke crudely and rudely to each other. As far as someone saying, "they do feed her," really, what nothing but fats and junk food. That child needs to learn more than a lot: Manners, self-control, frankly needs to have someone consult the whole family on how they are feeding her to the max! She asks and she demands three full entrees at a Rib House and mom lets her get it. Well, it is their money. Ever heard of strokes, heart attacks, that child won't live a long life at the rate she's putting on the weight. I hate to sound rude, but she is an overweight brat, and in no way should ever been allowed to be on TV. These Pageant Fanatic Mothers dream of big things for their daughters but that isn't going to happen to a child plagued with a weight problem who will probably end up with diabetes. Money, what does she do? Besides wearing heavy adult looking makeup, fake hair and an uncouth outfit, totally inappropriate for anyone that age, she just goes stumbling around with her belly fat shaking and blowing out fake kisses. This is so nauseating, I just can't believe anyone would want that child 1,000 miles near a Pageant or TV station. They need to stop spending Dad's money taking them all out to pig-out at restaurants and learn some proper nutritional habits. The fact that they don't even use common familial names, like "mom" or "dad" or the child's real name sounds quite strange to me. And do you really think the child even the concept of work or money? No, they all need counseling, and a diet counselor as well. I hate to say this, as well, but really looking objectively, the child isn't even cute or adorable, rather sloppy, obese and mouthy. This one is headed for DOOM—THE ENTIRE FAMILY IS.

    I prefer to take the stand "live and let live". They are going to do what they want to do and who am I to judge. John, I used to dumpster dive right down our alley every day with my friend and her brothers when we were young and my Gram Cruz did the same up until about 6 months before she passed, mostly our own garbage. LOL She couldn't stand to see anything go to waste.

    Joan Cruz I agree with you…dumpster diving….ain't nuttin' wrong with that. When I take my daily walks and it's on Tuesday or Friday if I see something in somebody's trash that can be salvaged I pick it up. People here throw away good stuff. The two lamps in my den was from a neighbor putting them in the trash. Hey, they were practically brand new. It's really no difference in that than in a garage sale, except you pay a little bit of money for the garage sale finds. BUT I'M GONNA WATCH MY HONEY BOO BOO CHILD TONIGHT AND DON'T GIVE A CRIP-CRAP IF ANYBODY LIKES IT OR NOT. A DOLLA MAKE YOU HOLLA HONEY BOO BOO CHILD. Grandma Patsy has spoken again. LOL> Have a great night.

  132. Joan Cruz

    I think a dolla would make anyone holla, especially if there were 10,000 of them. LOL I watch and laugh, and laughing is a mighty powerful medicine and best part of it all, it's free. Have a good one y'all. ;)

  133. The rest of the quote "and two to take him."

  134. It is a new twist in life….reality……Do not judge the book for the cover. They are a happy family……and they have family "quirks" they may not be like your family…..but not one of us LIVES their life..I say go ahead give em the money. It may ensure a better life for all.

  151. OMG how many more stupid reality shows do we need…let the girl have a normal childhood and find something more entertaining than a show about a little girl…..take off the brats too in the other glam show of little girls being bossy to their parents

  152. That is so disgusting what the parents do to their children. Making them look like adults when they are babies!

  153. nothing. spoiled brat!

    This show needs to be taken off the air. I have only seen the commercials and that was enough. Everyone knows it is the mother asking for the money…it isn't her daughter. I say if they do end up giving her money it should be given to her as a college fund not as a pay check. This way her mother can't touch the money at all and it allows her daughter to get an education.

  155. It is the per-motion of shows like that which continues the downward spiral of our moral society.

    LOL!!!!!!! Im sorry but I havent watched this show and all my friends from down south keep talking about it. I guess it really is dumb :/

  162. I watched about 10 min. so I could know what the commotion was about. This show is one of the reasons the south has such a bad reputation. It was pitifully pathetic.

  163. Tracy Lewis Howell

    I watched maybe 5 minutes of the show before I turned it off! It was the most ridiculous show I've seen! I wouldn't pay them a dime! Make everyone happy, fire them all and put something worth watching on!

  164. Joan Cruz Getting some well needed income off of their child? So you admit they are using their child for income? In other words, they are exploiting her.

    The child may not be neglected, and she's obviously fed (a bit too much), but what they are doing isn't right. It is our job as parents to teach out children manners and healthy eating habits, among other things. The only reason the mother even paid for etiquette lessons is because the judge commented that she needed to be more refined. If it weren't for the pageant judge, it wouldn't be something they would consider necessary. After all, her lack of "refinement" is because of the parents uncouth behavior.

    Abuse comes in many forms, not just physical. They certainly aren't doing her any favors with the poor manners and the poor eating habits. What kind of life do you think they are setting their child up for? She has a rude awakening coming to her.

  165. good they wont have to eat so much sketti

  166. i know i need time to send on fb hee hee

  167. NO I think this show is stupid & everyone I ask says that this show is a joke & would not watch it.I watched it 1 time & thought it was terrible!

  168. Addassa Mari

    I have never seen that show or any of the myriads of other"reality shows" that now occupy and pass for entertainment in America. Frankly, I have better things to do with my evenings, ie spend quality time with my family besides my life is real enough, I don't need to invite anyone else's drama into my home or live vicariously through my television set. But then again, I am not much of a TV watcher.

  169. tatally agree !

  170. You know, I am from Georgia, not too far from where this family is from and they are filming this stupid show, but at no time ever have I heard any child, white or black for that matter called, Honey Boo Boo. This show is just totally stupid and makes me feel like it reflects All Georgia peaches and dumb backwoods country. And we're not.

  171. Thanks for correcting me. My comments were unkind, and simply did not need to be posted. lol, my family would probably get some negative feedback as well.

  172. She's cute but not that cute, there is a lot of people in the world

  173. I can't believe they are even going to give them another contract. Take this deplorable show off the air. I don't even watch the commercials I turn the tv off until it is over. They think Kate plus eight was bad for the kids and put this on. I would love to meet the person that thought this was a program to be put on TV.. There are very few shows to watch anymore on any channel. Everyone on the show they should send packing because it isn't setting a good example for anyone. They do some stupid things. Anyone who thinks it is funny has something wrong with them. I watched probable 5 minutes of the first show and never turned it on again. Bring Kate plus eight back at least it had class.

    No way.take it off the air. Should never have been on the air in the first place. Children should not see this show.

  176. Yeah….TLC has really dropped their standards…….the only thing that someone learns on their channel anymore is how to become a famous trailer trash retard!!!

  177. You are right – they deserve a pay raise. A little refinement and manners would be great too. Definitely manners and less food :-)

  178. Brandy Myers

    I love this show, I think they are hilarious (and not in a bad way)! They are being who they are, who are we to judge. She also seems pretty bright when she has to be, I believe she was helping her mom calculate how much they would save using coupons in one episode, could be wrong though. If she is doing that at 6 I give her props, why should anyone have to learn manners, half the world walks all over people and could care less. There are more people that are worse than they are. Lastly, of all the woman that I watch on Toddlers and Tiaras she is by far the best mother I've seen, another mom on their had her daughter dressed up in the Julia Robert's hooker outfit from Pretty Woman, skank boots and all! I say to each their own, I'll keep watching!

    Sep 21, 2012

    It isn't about the viewer or non-viewer—I myself only get 2 American channels, 2 Indian and 1 Cantonese and others that come out of Canada. Thus, I haven't seen the show, nor will. It is about the child, any child, anywhere who is permitted to act rudely and centers her life on Food and Money. That goes for the mothers of these children, too. One day the child will grow up, but have no meaningful values to live her life with her. That is just plain SAD.

  180. I totally agree Diann. Utter trash.

  181. Love this show! Its funny and they loVe each other! They dodnt care what people think about them!
