Mama June learns her daughter Jessica has come out of the closet in Mama June: Family Crisis

‘Mama June’ Shannon attempted to reconnect with her estranged daughters while planning her upcoming wedding in the new episode of Mama June: Family Crisis, which aired on Friday.

In the episode, the 43-year-old reality television personality managed to make it through her drama-filled bridal shower before coming to terms with accepting her damaged relationship with her children.

The media figure, who recently spoke about ‘blowing’ $1 million on cocaine during her troubled past, was also informed that her daughter Jessica, 26, had came out of the closet, about which she had never been told.

The episode began in Alabama, with June’s eldest daughter Anna, 28, and her sister Doe Doe, talking about their ‘dysfunctional as f***’ family’ during the bridal shower, which none of the media figure’s younger daughters attended.

When Doe Doe asked about Anna’s relationship with her mother, the reality television figure said that they had learned how to ‘talk more’ after she underwent abdominal surgery for a tumor.

Major news: The media figure, who recently spoke about ‘blowing’ $1 million on cocaine during her troubled past, was also informed that her daughter Jessica, 26, had came out of the closet, about which she had never been told

However, Doe Doe shared her negative opinion of June’s parenting skills and expressed that her sister ‘just wanted to make sure a daughter showed up’ above all else.

While opening gifts, June asked Anna for relationship advice, and after her daughter spoke about having been in a long-term relationship without getting married, she replied by stating: ‘Your man puts up with a lot of s***.’ 

However, June later sat down for a confessional segment and stated that ‘I started realizing that family is number one, that’s why I’m trying to repair my relationship with all the girls.’

Her husband, Justin Stroud, later asked where her daughters were, and after becoming disappointed about their non-attendance, she expressed that ‘we’re all stubborn, we’re Shannons.’ 

Macon County Sheriff Brunson, who supported June and Justin through their troubled years, made a surprise appearance at the bridal shower.

In a confessional, the media figure described him as ‘one of those sheriffs who really [cares] about the people’ and reflected back on the times where he offered assistance to her as she battled her substance abuse issues. 

The lawman then gave a short speech to praise the couple for battling their demons and making an effort to better themselves as people, finishing by labeling them as ‘success stories.’

Back in Georgia, Josh Efird and Lauryn ‘Pumpkin’ Efird, 23, were preparing to attend a drag show before the latter’s younger sister, Alana ‘Honey Boo Boo’ Shannon, requested a wig worth $1000 in order to take senior photos.
