Mama June, ‘Honey Boo Boo’ Star, Claims Sugar Bear Is ‘Secretly Gay’


Reality star Mama June Shannon is reportedly claiming that her former husband, Mike “Sugar Bear” Thompson, is gay.

According to Life and Style magazine, an inside source opened up about the allegations made by Mama June while filming the upcoming season of the hit WE TV reality series, Marriage Boot Camp.

“Mama June says she’s found naked selfies from guys on his phone and messages from male prostitutes saying Sugar Bear owes them money for their services.”

However, each time she approaches Sugar Bear with the allegations, he continuously denies them. The insider claims that the allegations have caused tension between Mama June and Sugar Bear — leading to “ongoing fights” on the set of Marriage Boot Camp.

According to Daily Mail and TMZ, Mama June and Sugar Bear spoke to the show’s producers back in January. That was also the month when Mama June made headlines by kicking the 43-year-old miner out of her home for allegedly cheating on her.

She held nothing back when talking about their relationship problems at that time, because apparently, the 35-year-old grandmother had reaching her breaking point.

“He wanted the single life. But he could’ve been honest and told me, ‘Look, June. I don’t love you. I don’t want to be with you. I don’t want to be around you, sorry.’… I think he made his own choice, and his own bed, that he wanted to be single. ‘You’re talking to the girls still after I done gave you a chance. I let you back in my home to work on your family that you wanted back. And you’re still talking to girls and coding ’em in your phone as your ex-boss.’ You know how men do it? Men are sneaky as hell.”

This is not the first time that the family mostly known for their rise to fame with the reality series, Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, has faced scandal.

In addition to the allegations of Sugar Bear cheating, Mama June’s romantic involvement with a child molester led to the network deciding to cancel their hit reality show.

Another popular TLC reality series, 19 Kids and Counting, was cancelled earlier this year due to a scandal surrounding one of its cast members, Josh Duggar.

Mama June threatened to sue the network because of how her family was treated in comparison to the Duggar family when their own allegations came to light.
