Anna “Chickadee” Cardwell Says Sister Pumpkin Thinks Abuser Mark McDaniel Is Her Father
And the saga continues.
Since Anna “Chickadee” Cardwell revealed she was molested by Mark McDaniel (her mother’s rumored boyfriend), many of her family members have criticized her decision to come forward — among those critics is her younger sister, Lauryn aka Pumpkin. Now Mama June’s oldest daughter has provided some insight why: Because Pumpkin thinks Mark is her father.
“[Mark] was supposed to be [Pumpkin’s] so-called father or whatever it is,” Anna explained during an appearance on HLN last night, Nov. 10.
“You know, out of all the kids we have, Mama does not know who Pumpkin’s dad is. And Pumpkin thinks it’s Mark which kind of hurts my feelings, because Mama is making her believe that someone who did that to me is her father. Now Pumpkin hates me for it.”

According to Anna, the man convicted for aggravated child molestation may have resurfaced in the lives of the family because he wanted to “surprise” his supposed “daughter” after 10 years behind bars.
The 20-year-old — who is now married and has a child of her own — then went on to explain what her relationship with her sister looks like today.
“[Pumpkin has been] cussing me out, saying screw you, F you,” Anna lamented.
“I don’t know what to do anymore.”
