Mama June Shannon has officially lost custody of her daughter Alana 'Honey Boo Boo' Thompson.
US reality TV star Honey Boo Boo, 16, has been at the centre of a heated legal battle between her mother, Mama June Shannon, 42 and her older sister, Lauryn Efird, 22 in recent months.
And a judge in Georgia has now granted Lauryn, who also goes by the name of 'Pumpkin', sole custody over Honey Boo Boo, with visitation rights being decided by her too.
According to court documents obtained by Page Six, Mama June will be allowed to contact her daughter by phone every day - and she will also have to pay Pumpkin $1100 per month in child support until Honey Boo Boo turns 18.
Testimony from the hearing, which ended in April, revealed teen reality TV star had already been living with her older sister Lauryn and her husband, Josh Efird, 25, since 2019.
Mama June first lost custody of Honey Boo Boo in 2019 after she and former boyfriend, Geno Doak, 49, were arrested on drug charges.
The former stage star's life took a turn for the worst when she was forced to sell her home in order make money.
However, when all her dosh was gone, Mama June claimed she was forced to live in her car before she finally made the decision to enter rehab in a bid to seek help in turning her life around.
Now that Pumpkin has legal custody over her younger sister, she will certainly have her hands full - especially amid rumours the pregnant star is expecting twins.
Pumpkin is already a mum to son Bentley, 10 months, and daughter Ella, 4, with husband Joshua.
It comes after Mama June secretly tied the knot with boyfriend Justin Stroud, 34, in Georgia, after just a few months of dating.
The reality TV star is reported to have wed her younger beau at a Georgia courthouse on March 23.
