It appears that Alana ‘Honey Boo Boo’ Thompson has vanished amid Pumpkin and Josh Efird’s split. When Mama June Shannon was struggling, Pumpkin and Josh welcomed Alana with open arms. Now that they have parted ways, is it too much for Alana to handle? Keep reading for more details.
Alana Thompson Gone Amid Pumpkin & Josh Split
When Alana ‘Honey Boo Boo’ Thompson needed somewhere to go, Pumpkin and Josh Efird were newlyweds and fairly new parents. Ella was still a baby but Mama June was deep into her addiction and Alana could not live with her any longer. Luckily, she had her sister who was willing to step up and love her. Things were better when Mama June got sober but it was still a struggle. June was never around and was choosing men over her children. That was when the decision was made to give Pumpkin and Josh custody of Alana. It was hard but Mama June and Sugar Bear signed the papers.
The biggest issue was June did not want to pay monthly child support as she thought it was an adoption. In the end, she did and the sisters were there for each other especially when Anna Cardwell got stage 4 adrenal carcinoma. They had to rally while Alana graduated high school, got into college, fought June for money stolen, and watched Anna fade away. Now, out of the blue, Josh and Pumpkin filed for divorce with Pumpkin quickly moving on and it seems to have impacted Alana.
Fans are worried about her as she used to post a lot on social media but goes weeks without sharing. Alana Thompson’s last TikTok was on October 11th and is never on Instagram. She did not even promote The Sister’s Closet Halloween event which is odd considering that is her business. A Reddit thread was started with the OP writing this:
- Where’s Alana. She hasn’t been that active on SM? I also wonder how she feels about Pumkin and June being so close & about the divorce.
Is Alana Okay?
The OP wondered if Alana Thompson was uncomfortable that Pumpkin Efird and Mama June were suddenly so close. So, what did followers have to say about Alana not being very present or did they not even notice?
- I kinda hope she’s just taking a step back from social media and that she’s learning who she is outside of her family.
- I don’t believe Alana is happy about the divorce. Josh is the closest thing to a father figure she’s had in her life. I know if I was in her shoes I’d be devastated. I hope she can keep her relationship with him without meddling from old lumpkin pumpkin.
- I too want to see her win!
Maybe this new season will answer a lot of questions as to how Alana feels regarding the divorce. More so, as someone mentioned, hopefully, she can learn who she is away from her family.
Did you notice Alana taking a step back or were you unaware? Finally, do you think the divorce has impacted Alana or is she too far removed since she is in Colorado? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
