The Honey Boo Boo family scandal has taken an ugly turn as Sugar Bear's health deteriorated after he reportedly collapsed due to stress. Mama June's ex-husband and Uncle Poodle claimed that the show's cancellation have left them penniless.
According to the latest Honey Boo Boo family scandal news from Entertainment Tonight, an ambulance was deployed to the house where Mike "Sugar Bear" Thompson was staying in McIntyre, Georgia last Sunday.
Accordingly, Sugar Bear couldn't handle the stress after his breakup with Mama June Shannon when she allegedly hooked up with a former lover, and convicted child molester, Mark McDaniel. Sugar Bear is a diabetic and because of stress-related issues, had problems keeping his sugar in check.
Meamwhile, TMZ reported that the Honey Boo family scandal is pitting members against each other over money.
Sugar Bear and Uncle Poodle claimed that they haven't received a single cent even if they already filmed episodes for the "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" show. That's because their payments are tied to the airing of the episodes.
"Sources connected with the show tell us ... Sugar Bear is bitter because he did nothing wrong, and because June decided to start dating her child molester boyfriend again he can't even afford a place to live," it said.
Mama June's ex-husband said that he has just been given allowance and all the money is with his former wife.
"As for Uncle Poodle ... our sources says he's extremely bitter because he says TLC has not contacted him and he has no idea if he'll end up with goose eggs," it added.
In a statement released to NY Daily News, TLC said that "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" was cancelled and the network "ended all activities around the series, effective immediately."
"Supporting the health and welfare of these remarkable children is our only priority. TLC is faithfully committed to the children's ongoing comfort and well-being," the network added.
