Sorry, folks, no more Honey Boo Boo. After three productive and educational (*cough cough*) years on TV, TLC has cancelled the polarizing series, after co-star “Mama June” Shannon reportedly started dating a convicted child molester. TMZ reported earlier this week that Mama June ha started seeing Mark McDaniel, who was convicted in 2004 of aggravated child molestation of an 8 year old.

Members of the Shannon clan denied the rumor after it was made public – according to  their statement, the pair had not dated in over 10 years, and Shannon was “all about the kids” after her separation from Mike “Sugar Bear” Thompson.
