Mama June’s daughter Anna Caldwell has spoken out against her mother Mama June, condemning her for continuing her relationship with Mark McDaniel – the man she claims molested her as a child.
The 20-year old mother of one, known as Chickadee on the show, told Entertainment Tonight that she was confused and hurt by her mum’s actions:
“I’m mad. I’m upset. I feel betrayed. I feel very hurt,’ she said. ‘That’s the main thing that I am – I feel very hurt that Mama let him come around.
“She’s smiling and giggling when he’s around. You know, he’s a child molester, Mama. He did this to me. Why would you let him come around the girls knowing what he did?”
Although Anna previously believed her mother was not dating McDaniel, she recently told TMZ that she has now since seen photographs and evidence that convince her otherwise.
The young mother has recorded an interview with Entertainment Tonight, where she told the host she wants her mother to threaten McDaniel to leave:
“If that was me and I was there I would tell him, “You did this to yourself, and you’re not supposed to be around kids. Either you leave or I’ll call the cops and your a** will go back to jail”.”
Caldwell reportedly told TMZ that June betrayed her by seeing McDaniel again – who was jailed for 10 years after forcing a minor to perform oral sex acts on him. She has now broken contact with her mother following the news that she is romantically back involved with McDaniel.

According to numerous media reports, the local sheriff’s office and child services have now been notified following a series of photographs showing Mark McDaniel in contact with two of the youngest stars of the show, Alana ‘Honey Boo Boo’ Thompson, nine, and Lauryn ‘Pumpkin’ Shannon, 14.
In the moving interview, Caldwell warns her youngest sister to not get too close, while breaking down on camera telling presenter Nischelle Turner she would spit in Mc Daniel’s face if she got the chance.
TLC network have since cancelled the Here Comes Honey Boo Boo following the recent romantic developments of Mama June with a convicted child molester.
