Honey Boo Boo’s Mom Reveals Dramatic Weight Loss Transformation
One of the hottest stories to trend right now is the amazing weight loss transformation of Mama June Shannon, otherwise known as Honey Boo Boo’s mother.
She’s the star of the newest reality show called Not to Hot that showcases her losing weight and getting into shape.
Many have been concerned about her radical transformation and even question who paid for all of her surgeries.
Shannon underwent a gastric sleeve operation as well as a series of intense plastic surgeries. This was accompanied by intense workouts and eating better.
The 36-year old told Refinery29, “Yes. I mean, it’s been — the transformation has been probably one of the hardest things that I’ve went through in my whole entire life. But actually it’s well, well worth it.”
Shannon told People that she paid for the whole thing out of her own pocket.
“I had to pay, just like everybody else,” Shannon told the publication. “[The surgery] was going to happen whether I had [network partner WEtv or not.”
As for the plastic surgeries she had, she doesn’t consider them plastic surgery.
“Plastic surgery to me is having something broke or something put on or whatever,” Shannon told People. “But that’s what they call it.”
