The drama surrounding the stars of TLC's now-cancelled "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" continues to swirl. Anna Cardwell, 20, did an interview with E! News and accused her mother, June "Mama June" Shannon, of spending her trust fund money on Mark McDaniel, Mama June's new boyfriend and Cardwell's alleged molester.
During a chat about the scandal surrounding the family, Cardwell said she recently noticed that her $30,000 trust fund was gone. She thinks her mother took the money to purchase a car for McDaniel and help him get back on his feet.
Cardwell, who also goes by the nickname "Chickadee," explained that a trust fund was set up for each of the girls when they first started filming "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo." The fund was supposed to help them save the money they were making from the reality show.
Cardwell claims that her account was around $30,000 but when she checked it recently there was only a little over $17 in it.
"I have feeling Mama used that money to buy him a car," she said.
However, Mama June denies the claims, telling E! that it's "not true."
"I have never bought a car for him and all her money is there beside the money I have given her to live on," she said.
Mama June also denies that she has rekindled a romance with McDaniel. TMZ broke the news last month that Mama June was dating 53-year-old McDaniel, a convicted child molester, after she split from Sugar Bear.
McDaniel was released from prison in March after serving 10 years for sexually assaulting a minor. Allegedly, the victim was Mama June's daughter, Cardwell. The 20-year-old slammed her mother in an interview a few weeks ago with "Entertainment Tonight" saying that she was shocked Mama June was dating her alleged molester.
"I'm mad. I'm upset. I feel betrayed. I feel very hurt. That's the main thing that I am - I feel very hurt that Mama let him come around," she said. "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?"
