June Shannon: Secret Boyfriend’s Identity Revealed!

You know how the world recently learned that June Shannon has a secret boyfriend who taught her how to love again ? Mama June gushes about him and the two kiss on the From Not to Hot season 2 trailer, but his actual identity has been kept pretty hush-hush. But now we know his name … and a lot more about him. While it’s great that June’s new size 4 figure is helping her find happiness, for a lot of viewers, the news that June Shannon was dating again brought up … mixed feelings. After all, June was infamously seen cozying up to Mark McDaniel … a convicted sex offender whom June’s own daughter, Anna Cardwell, accuses of molesting her. The only good reason anyone can think of for a mother to spend time with the man who molested her then-8-year-old daughter while her then-three-year-old daughter (Lauryn) was also on the bed is if she had been planning to murder him. Here Comes Honey Boo Boo was canceled over that scandal. It was years before the final episodes were aired and before June Shannon made her (real) reality television comeback with From Not to Hot . Thankfully, Mama June does not appear to be repeating such an unimaginable mistake. RadarOnline reports that Mama June’s new boyfriend is Geno Doak, a 42-year-old carpenter.  June had previously stated, without naming her beau, that the two had met through mutual friends. Apparently, that also involved her hiring him to fix up her home in Hampton, Georgia. Geno Doak is also a single parent, as he has one son and two daughters. What’s more — these two have dated before. Way back in 2015, in fact. As we previously reported, Mama June hasn’t been able to resist gushing about her then-mystery boyfriend. “He is very, very awesome,” she told E! Well, she definitely sounds enthusiastic about the guy. “He actually restored my faith and the girls’ faith in men.” That’s pretty profound. Before you question why a girl as young as Alana might need her faith in men restored, remember that she has eyes and has also probably noticed her mother’s relationships over the years. June also talks about what makes her love Geno. “It’s the little things…he is above and beyond anything that I could ever expect.” She talks about how this happy romance got started. “We honestly were just wanting to be friends and things just worked out.” A lot of relationships begin that way. RadarOnline confirms that Geno Doak will appear on the second season of From Not to Hot , by the way. We’d figured as much. But we already knew that June’s ex, Sugar Bear, and his new wife would be appearing on the new season, too. And apparently June does not give one flying flip what he thinks about her new relationship. “As long as I’m happy and the girls are happy at the end of the day, that’s all that matters to me.” It sounds like she has her priorities in order. Finally. View Slideshow: Mama June: See Her Transformation Through the Years!

Khloe Kardashian: I’m Happier Than I’ve Ever Been! Sorry, Lamar!

If you’ve seen or heard anything from Khloe Kardashian lately, you’ve probably noticed one thing … Well, a couple of things. There’s no denying that baby bump these days! But besides the pregnancy — though we’re sure the pregnancy is a big part of it — she’s really just seemed so happy and peaceful, hasn’t she? Like after so many ups and downs, she’s finally settled in a place where she wants to be in life. It’s so nice to see. And if you weren’t near tears over the beautiful turnaround of Khloe Kardashian’s life already, well, let her break it all down for you in this lengthy but super touching Instagram post she made today! For her photo, she shared an older photo of herself along with a much more recent one — her “revenge body”: In the caption, she wrote “Sometimes it’s hard for me to post these transformation posts only because I can’t imagine my life being this unhealthy again.” To clarify, she added that “Never would I ever consider myself fat, but I would consider myself unhealthy mentally/physically and not knowing my true value. Mind, body and soul.” Aww, KoKo. “For me,” she wrote, “my transformation started from within. I needed to heal myself from the inside out.” “Once I started putting myself first, everything started falling into place. My life transformed a few years ago when I made the decision to stop existing and start living.” A few years ago, of course, is when she split from Lamar Odom and began focusing hard on her fitness. She’s said many times that she began going to the gym as a way to deal with everything that was going on with Lamar — his downward spiral began while they were still together. It must have been tough for her to file for divorce and take care of herself when so many people were convinced that they were soulmates, destined to be together forever. But, as she explained, “I decided when I was ready regardless of what anybody else was saying about me. Regardless of the pressures. I had to do this on my terms or I knew it wouldn’t last.” “It’s ok to take the control back,” she advised her followers. “Choose your life. Don’t let anybody else decide for you!” “We are no victims to life but we can become victims and prisoners to the people that we choose to surround ourselves with if we allow them to break us and consume us.” Anyone else loving this motivational speaker side of Khloe? Because we are kind of living for it. “Never be afraid to put yourself first!” she preached. “Never choose comfort over your own well-being! Never forget that fate loves the fearless!” “Today’s wisdom was yesterday’s pain. Tomorrow’s happiness is today’s bravery! I am so proud of myself for being stronger than I’ve ever been — mind body and soul.” And she should be — we still don’t know all that went on with her marriage to Lamar, but just considering what we do know, it’s amazing that she’s been able to pull herself up like this. We all saw how deeply she loved him, and we also saw how deeply he betrayed her. She definitely should be proud of her strength. Khloe also wrote that she’s “even prouder of myself that I’ve been able to maintain a healthy lifestyle for so many years. I broke that cycle and I’m happier than I have ever been!” “You can do this!! Start from within and nothing can stop you,” she finished. “Elevate yourself — mind body and soul.” It’s no wonder why so many people refer to her as the best Kardashian, huh?

Mama June: Does Sugar Bear Want Her Back?!

The love story of Mama June and Sugar Bear is … Well, it’s about as strange as you’d imagine a love story between people named Mama June and Sugar Bear to be. Though they’re no longer together , they’ve been through a lot together. They brought Honey Boo Boo into the world, they became famous together after a particularly scandalous appearance on Toddlers and Tiaras. And later, they tried to save their failing relationship, even though Sugar Bear had cheated on June with multiple people and June had dated a child molester at one point when they were broken up. They gave it their best shot — or a shot, anyway — but things didn’t work out. These days, Sugar Bear is married to Jennifer Lamb , and Mama June has unsuccessfully dated a couple of guys. Although it seems like they’ve made up their minds, that their love story is over, that may not be the case. Because another important fact about these people is that Mama June has spent the last several months completely transforming her body — she’s lost a massive amount of weight . And it seems like Sugar Bear might be kicking himself for losing her. According to a new report from Hollywood Life, Sugar Bear got a glimpse of that new Baywatch photo shoot June did — the one where she’s showing off her new bod in that iconic red swimsuit. And it’s making him feel all kinds of ways. Mama June Hits 137 Lbs., Celebrates With Baywatch Photo Shoot! “Sugar Bear is freaking over the pictures of her as a hot Baywatch babe,” a source claims. “He’s kicking himself for messing things up with her.” “If he had any idea she was going to wind up losing all that weight and looking like a supermodel, he would have worked harder to keep her happy.” Sad as it is, “He can’t believe the woman he let go is the same one in those sexy pictures. Now he feels like a doper for letting her go.” Yeah, “doper” is one word we’d use to describe Sugar Bear. But the fact is that even if Sugar Bear does feel this way — and we have our doubts, considering that he’s always shown a preference for bigger ladies — it really doesn’t matter. June has made it beyond clear that she wants nothing to do with him anymore. According to her, he’s been mentally and physically abusive , towards her and towards the kids. And he’s admitted he’s a cheater. Poor Honey Boo Boo says that he’s body-shamed her in the past, and that he rarely talks to her, let alone sees her. Throw in that horrible Mama June: From Not to Hot reunion show, the one where Sugar Bear tried to physically fight with June’s older daughter … a reconciliation doesn’t look all that likely. Hope you find comfort in that photo shoot, Sugar Bear. It’s probably the most of the new Mama June you’ll ever see. View Slideshow: Mama June: See Her Transformation Through the Years!

Mama June Shannon: Fat Suit Rumors Are Bogus! I’m So Real!

Mama June Shannon is as real as it gets. That’s what she insists regarding her latest turn on reality TV, denying that she would EVER wear a fat suit in order to better her storyline. Of reports that she did exactly that on Mama June: From Not to Hot, she says, “I don’t know what the hell people were thinking, but no.” ” I would never do that ,” Shannon insists. Shortly after the WE tv series debuted, fans speculated that the Here Comes Honey Boo Boo matriarch was wearing a fat suit or prosthetics. What motive would she have to do that? In order to exaggerate her weight loss and make it look all the more impressive is the theory. June insists that this is simply not the case. “If people look back at my picture [pre-surgery], like a couple of years ago, umm, I was fat!” she said with a laugh at her own expense. Part of the reason people are skeptical, Shannon concedes, is that she’s been out of the spotlight for a time, so it seems more drastic. But she says it’s been a work in progress: “This journey started a long time ago.” “We started filming a little bit and then through the process, we had stopped and there’s nothing … no, hell no, you’re seeing me for me.” “If you look back,” she goes on, “you’re seeing me at the doctor’s office, you’re seeing me this and that, so that’s actually me being me.” “I mean, I guess now that people are seeing the transformation happen, they’re like, ‘Woah! That didn’t happen that fast!'” June says. But TV fans are seeing it condensed, of course: “I’ve been going through this journey since May of 2016, so it has been a little while.” Shannon says that to be honest, she prefers not to look back at photos from previous years because she they don’t look like her at all: “I don’t really even look at them, honestly.” “I don’t feel like that’s me,” the reality star says, “and that all comes back from me mentally picturing myself as being a smaller person.” Mama June Shannon’s weight loss surgery , combined with exercise and changes in her diet, helped her achieve these results, she says. When it comes to her daughter, Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson, June wants to send a simple, profound message of body positivity. “I mean …I want her to love herself for her, and love her for her, and not give a s–t what anybody else says,” June said of Alana, 11. “But [I do tell her], ‘I need you to know that you need to worry’ because her dad, and her grandmother, does have diabetes and stuff.” June, incredibly, is only 37 herself.
