Lauryn ‘Pumpkin’ Shannon, 23, also had a FaceTime call with her mother, and commented that ‘she looks like a crack addict who’s been scratching her face’ upon seeing her mother’s damaged complexion.
Her husband, Josh Efird, later voiced his opinion about the Shannon family matriarch, and harshly commented that ‘everybody who’s attached to that woman is stuck in the past and will be forever.’
Alana, 17, added that ‘she’s lied about so much, how do we know she’s not lying about this?’
Mama June was later diagnosed with partial complex seizures and instructed to continue her recovery at home.
After she was discharged from the hospital, Mama June and Stroud headed back to their residence in Alabama, and while resting, the former voiced her worries about leaving a bad impression on his mother, Mama Dukes.
The reality television personality, aware of her widely reported-on indiscretions, commented that ‘now your mama is going to have that impression of, “oh, is she using drugs,” or “oh, is she high? Is she going to get my son back on drugs?”‘
Mama June went on to speak to her spouse about about her tense relationship with her own late mother, and they decided to attempt to maintain a close connection with Mama Dukes.
The media figure commented that ‘I kind of want to get to know Justin’s mom and Justin’s mom to get to know me for me.’
The couple later invited Stroud’s mother to dinner at an Italian restaurant, during which Mama June ordered the restaurant’s most expensive bottle of ‘morlet’ in an attempt to impress her mother-in-law.

Stroud’s mother expressed that Mama June and her son were ‘good for each other’ and stated that she wanted to be a part of their upcoming wedding along with the rest of his family.
At the same time, Alana brought up the idea of cooking a healthy meal for the family after coming across a recipe for an eggplant-based dish on social media.
After she revealed her plans to the family, Pumpkin returned from a family trip to Costco, where she discussed her concerns about eating well with Josh.
She voiced her apprehension to the idea and admitted that, while ‘it wouldn’t hurt all of us to eat a few veggies…I don’t need her going all out and s***.’
Alana went on to take her sister Jessica, 26, to a health food store to stock up on supplies for dinner, and the latter quipped that ‘the only time I ever saw an eggplant was an emoji on my phone.’
During the trip, the former Dance Moms cast member commented that she was unsure about the store’s white broccoli, although she was subsequently informed that she was purchasing cauliflower.
Jessica, who paid for the groceries, then asked if she could bring a friend to dinner, which Alana allowed, although she subsequently spoke to Pumpkin and the two tried to figure out who would be visiting the household later that evening.
