“Mama June” Shannon can’t stop making Boo-Boos.

The “Here Comes Honey Boo-Boo” reality TV star copped plenty of flak for the sordid details of her sex life this year, especially since she put her children in danger by engaging in a love-affair with a known child sex offender.

Now her daughter Anna “Chickadee” Cardwell, who claims she was sexually molested by her mother’s lover Mark McDaniel, has revealed that on top of Mama June lying about her knowledge of the abuse, she has also been helping herself to Anna’s trust fund money.

Anna claims she hasn’t seen a penny of the $15 400 she received as compensation for appearing on the Honey Boo-Boo show, money Mama June had previously claimed she sent to her daughter in monthly payments.

“I gave her $400 a month,” claimed June in a taped interview.

“I didn't have to give her that till she turned 21. And then, I've got a cashier's check that I can show you that I sent her, which was the rest of the money in her account.”

Not so, says Anna, as she spilled the beans on the Dr Phil show.

“You say your mother robbed your trust fund?” asked Dr Phil.

“So I call the bank in Milledgeville, and I ask him, I say, ‘Hey, is there any account underneath my name’,” explains Anna.

“They said, ‘Yeah, there is a savings account with 17 dollars and 89 cents in it’.”

According to Anna, her financial affairs were controlled by her mother.

Anna had also previously told Dr Phil that McDaniel had molested her for months while her mother worked at McDonalds in 2002.

Mama June denied any knowledge of the abuse, or rekindling her relationship with McDaniel once he was released from prison. However, new episodes of Here Comes Honey Boo-Boo were shelved when new pictures of the June and McDaniel surfaced. - Tonight Reporter
