Mama June Does It Right
I am saying this with no sarcasm for a change, but Mama June is being real smart with her dollahs. The money she is earning for the show? Well, that’s being split 5 ways between the 4 daughters and the granddaughter and put into the bank for future usage. June is taking none of it and is living off of hubby Sugar Bear’s salary. Now if she can keep her hands out of it when the well dries up and the show ends? Well, only time will tell, but for now, good on ya June!
Thank you, Miss Michelle! I actually have a modicum of respect for this family, and to hear that June’s doing right by her girls just makes me happy as can be. I hear a lot of hate for this family, but I think it’s off base.
They care for each other, and they do stuff together as a family pretty consistently, and that’s more than I can say for a lot of other TV families I’ve seen. When this show came out, I honestly thought I’d hate them, and I don’t. They just are who they are, and they aren’t ashamed of it or trying to be something or someone else. I think that’s okay. They’re very different from me and my family, but so what?
Being Southern doesn’t make you bad. Clipping coupons doesn’t make you bad. Being fat doesn’t make you bad (although I do believe parents have a responsibility to try to keep their kids healthy and feed them well). Entering your kid in pageants only makes you bad if your kid doesn’t want to do it and you keep forcing the issue. I think they just have fun with it. And more power to ’em.
I find every “Real Housewives” family much, much more disgusting and despicable than I could ever find the Thompsons. Honestly, their values actually match mine a little better than the phony drama queens who can’t hold a marriage together for five minutes and think that more expensive is always better.
Suze I think you read my mind!! These were my thoughts exactly. So of course I think your comment is absolutely brilliant! LOL
I have to admit, I kind of love these hillbillies, too, and yeah, they come across as ridiculous but EVERYONE on reality tv is ridiculous. A lot of the hate is based on class and appearance…”Oh, that awful fat trailer trash woman and her tacky family!” Frankly, Mama June’s Clan isn’t any different from the Kardashian’s except for the fact Mama June is up front about her dreams for her family. I like rooting for them to succeed.
And, Mama June is a PERFECT candidate to be on “Drag U”….I wanna see her get a make over from Jujubee…
