NEWS: Mama June Reacts to Disturbing Allegations

On Thursday, TMZ alleged that Mama June is romantically involved with a man who was recently released from prison and is a registered sex offender in the state of Georgia. The website also claimed the man was convicted of molesting one of Shannon's own relatives, who was 8 years old at the time of the crime.

Mama June reacted to the report on her daughter Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson's Facebook page, saying, "It isn't true.

"I have not seen that person in 10 years, and do not seem to want to see that person," she says. She also adds that her daughter Lauryn "Pumpkin" Shannon has also vouched for her that she is not dating the man.

Appearing to be reading a written statement at times, Mama June adds, "We just want to thank from the bottom of our hearts the support that we've had from our fans since May 2012. ...The experience has been awesome to us. The girls have been able to do things that they would not normally have had to do."

Despite no longer having a television show, the 35-year-old family matriarch insists that they will still have their annual Christmas display and encourages fans to come by and "meet the family."

"Things happen for a reason in life, and you live and learn," Mama June concludes, ending her video statement on a positive note. "We greatly, greatly, greatly appreciate everyone of y'all."
