Here comes the bridegroom! "Sugar Bear" (a.k.a. Mike Thompson), dad of TLC child star "Honey Boo Boo" has tied the knot. And it wasn't with Mama June Shannon (with whom he co-starred on "Marriage Boot Camp)." It also wasn't with any of his LGBT lovers. The bisexual dad of Alana Thompson married his girlfriend Jennifer Lamb and hints at a further Reality TV show. Meanwhile, Mama June airs wow-worthy weight loss on "From Not to Hot."
June Shannon and Sugar Bear cheated
Reality television celebrities Mike Thompson and Mama June Shannon were never married.
They did do a commitment ceremony clad in camo, after an almost 10-year relationship. The couple met on an online dating site. "Sugar Bear" (as the family called Thompson), fathered one of June Shannon's kids, Alana Thompson. This child rose to fame as a pageant star on "Toddlers and Tiaras" and later had her own reality show, "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo." TLC cut that show after Mama June admitted to hooking up with her ex, Mark McDaniel (a convicted pedophile who sexually molested June's daughter). Shannon was trying to salvage her relationship during the affair and Sugar Bear says he cheated too.
Mike Thompson admits bisexual hookups, sex addiction
Mike Thompson serially cheated on Mama June and is also a sex addict, the "Honey Boo Boo" star says.
Thompson didn't elaborate on the sex addiction but did say it was of an LGBT nature. It came out on WEtv "Marriage Boot Camp" that Thompson tried gay sex and cheated with other women. The couple officially split in 2016 and then he met the girl of his dreams, Jennifer Lamb. The couple was married in an off-the-radar wedding during the January 21-22 weekend.
But the nuptials are being kept hush-hush as the couple is reportedly working on a reality television show deal.
Mama June debuts weight loss on new show
Mama June admitted some exploration into lesbian leanings of her own. And she's on a new show after "Honey Boo Boo." The obese mom will debut massive weight loss on "From Not to Hot." Shannon will share diet tips to bust obesity.
But what many want to know is how Honey Boo Boo is doing with her weight. Last year mom and daughter appeared on "The Doctors," where Alana, at 50 pounds overweight, was told to lose weight or die. Doctors saw that childhood obesity was already taking its toll on the girl, who hadn't even reached her teen years.
