Born on August 10, 1979, June “Mama June” Shannon is a reality television star and the Shannon family’s matriarch. She was only two years old when her parents, Marvin Shannon and Sandra Hundley, got divorced. Therefore, Mama June’s childhood was not easy, and to make matters worse, June became legally blind at a very young age due to an untreated cataract. She was only fourteen years old when she got pregnant with her first child, Anna, and she soon had to drop out of school because of it. Although she later earned her GED, Mama June struggled with obesity as an adult. She lost 300 pounds after undergoing bariatric surgery and making changes to her diet and lifestyle.

Mama June, especially in her teenage years, had relationships with men who later got convicted for sex offenses. The biological father of Jessica and Lauryn tried sexually exploiting a minor and was later found guilty. Mark McDaniel, another partner of Mama June, even abused Anna, her eldest child. In 2019, Mama June and her current partner Geno Doak were arrested for drug possession, throwing her personal and professional life in turmoil. In the last decade, Mama June has been a part of a few reality TV shows that have helped her earn quite a lot of fame and a respectable fortune. But before we get to that, let’s look at her career so far.
