The Truth About Mama June And Sugar Bear's Relationship

Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson claims that Sugar Bear ditched his daughter after he met his current wife, Jennifer.

"He puts on this face for TV, to make it seem like he's the perfect guy but when he's off camera and stuff he's really not. He found Jennifer and he didn't come and see me anymore," Alana said in the Mama June: From Not To Hot reunion special (via People). "He was just gone. He would text like maybe once every three weeks. It would've been good to have a good relationship from the beginning. I do want him to be a more involved dad, but I feel like if he changes just a little, it's not enough. I would want him to stop being so angry all the time. I would like him to start being my father, actually."

Alana also told Entertainment Tonight that when she does speak to Sugar Bear, he often makes her feel bad about herself and her appearance. "He calls me every once in a blue moon, so if there's a blue moon outside, he's going to call me. The other day we were on the phone ... and we were talking about something, and he was like, 'I need to cut my grass,' so I was like, 'Yeah, I'll come do it. I'm [going to] need a riding mower,' and he said, 'You're gonna need a push mower, 'cause it wouldn't hurt.'"

Sugar Bear hinted that the acrimony between Jennifer and Mama June was behind the distance between him and Alana. "It's kind of hard to see a woman I used to love and a woman I love now fighting," Sugar Bear said (via E! News). "I wish they could both sit down and kind of be friends for Alana's sake and my sake. That way, we can get along real good."
