Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson Opens Up About How She Felt When Her Reality Show Was Canceled
Hearing Here Comes Honey Boo Boo was canceled was bittersweet for the show’s young protagonist, Alana Thompson.
In a new interview with Oprah Winfrey for Oprah: Where Are They Now?, the 10-year-old opened up about what it was like hearing the show was no longer being filmed.

“I woke up one morning, and I was like, ‘Where’s the crew?’ and my mom was like, ‘We stopped filming the show,’” she said. It was a mix of emotions for the one-time pageant queen, who added, “I was kind of happy, but at the same time I was sad. So I was kind of sa-happy?”
Here Comes Honey Boo Boo was canceled in late 2014 after it was revealed that Alana’s mom, June Shannon, was in a relationship with a convicted sex offender who once molested Alana’s oldest sister, Anna.
You can catch Alana on Oprah: Where Are They Now? Saturday, April 30, at 10 p.m.
