Mama June: Family Crisis star June Shannon just turned heads at her fabulous wedding to Justin Stroud. Indeed, she looks happy as can be. And the WEtv celeb may have found her best man yet.

Mama June: Family Crisis – June Shannon’s Rocky past with Sugar Bear

Mama’s fans know her past with Mike “Sugar Bear” Thompson was rough. Of course, there were some good times. She was never legally married to him.

But they pledged their lives to each other in a commitment ceremony. And they share a daughter, Alana Thompson (aka Honey Boo Boo).

Then things got rocky when she found out he had several dating website profiles. And they went their separate ways in 2014. Since then, Sugar Bear has admitted to cheating on her.

Also, the Mama June: Family Crisis celebrity said he was abusive. They’ve both since moved on. He is married to Jennifer Lamb. And she went on to form a relationship with Geno Doak. And that’s when things went downhill…

WETV Star at Her Lowest with Geno Doak

Mama’s fanbase knows that things took a turn for the worst once she started dating Geno. They got serious in 2016, and not long after, it became clear that they both had a severe drug problem. Once she got heavily addicted to drugs, she lost everything.

She lost her relationships with her daughters, as viewers will recall. Lauryn “Pumpkin” Shannon Efird cut Mama off. As did her oldest, Anna “Chickadee” Cardwell, and Jessica “Chubbs” Shannon. Of course, Alana was the youngest.

So, she was still living with Mama until Pumpkin took over custody. Then she went off the rails. She and Geno went missing for a while and spent all their money on drugs, and we’re on the run from the law.

There was a chance that the Mama June: Family Crisis fan-fave could go to prison, but thankfully, that was not the case. Geno, on the other hand, wasn’t so lucky. He did a stint in prison but looked much better since getting out.

Of course, Mama takes responsibility for her actions. But her ex played a part in her drug abuse. Since she left him in 2021, she’s been happier than ever. Mainly due to her sober lifestyle. But also because of her husband, Justin Stroud.
