Mama June’s husband fears her lies will ‘ruin’ their marriage after daughter Alana ‘Honey Boo Boo’ Thompson  accused her of stealing money

Mama June‘s husband, Justin Stroud, revealed he is fed up with her lies on Friday’s episode of Mama June: Family Crisis. 

The troubled matriarch, 44, and her spouse, 36, got into an explosive argument after he confronted her about lying and spending the earnings her daughter Alana ‘Honey Boo Boo‘ Thompson made as a child star.

Alana speculated to her sister, Lauryn ‘Pumpkin’ Efrid, who was granted sole custody of her younger sibling back in 2022, that the argument between June and Stroud may lead to the end of their marriage. 

‘[I’ve] never seen Justin yell at her like that,’ she told Lauryn. ‘I thought he was going to divorce her right then and there.’

Lauryn replied: ‘If she doesn’t quit the f**king lying and really get her f**ing life together, I’m telling you Justin’s going to leave her.’ 

The latest episode of their family’s reality show seemed to highlight the cracks in the couple’s marriage as Justin opted to sleep on the couch following their spat. 

During a confessional, he explained how June’s lies ‘threaten’ his ‘relationship with the girls because’ it makes him ‘look like a villain when there’s money missing.’ 

Additionally, he revealed he made a promise to be truthful after getting sober and her behavior has felt like a betrayal. 

‘Before it’s all said and done, she’s going to ruin this marriage and the relationship with the kids if things don’t change,’ he noted. 

Ultimately, they began to work things out the next morning in front of the cameras. 

‘Marriage, it has its ups and downs,’ he said as they sat together at a table. ‘At the end of the day, June is my wife, but this one right here stung because I feel like I actually have kids of my own.’ 

He continued: ‘They look at me like a stepdad … and I’m thrown into a bunch of lying and stolen money. She doesn’t understand that it doesn’t just affect her, it affects all of us.’ 

June attempted to explain the situation by insisting that taxes took up a large bulk of Alana’s childhood earnings. 

Justin then asked if June thought he was ‘an idiot’ and began to speculate if his wife was just ‘trying to convince herself that she did the right thing.’ 

‘It bothers them, but they just want you to be honest,’ he told June, who insisted she ‘never lied’ to Alana or said she would be ‘set for life.’ 

Alana was surprised to learn how little money was in her Coogan account, which she anticipated would pay for her college, but only contained $33,000. 

This season June was confronted by Alana, who accused her of mismanaging the funds that she earned as a kid. 

On their reality show, June claimed that 50% of her youngest daughter’s income was automatically taken for taxes and expressed that Alana spent much of her money on herself, although the latter disputed the allegation.

The reality television personality then expressed that her mother likely spent part of her money during her period of drug addiction, after which June confessed that she spent $150,000 of her daughter’s funds to purchase a home.

June went on to speak about how she was unaware of how Coogan accounts were set up, stating: ‘Georgia isn’t a Coogan state. Don’t have to do those for child actors. Honestly, I had never heard of a Coogan account until Alana went out to LA.’

Although June claimed that her children knew that a certain amount of Alana’s money had been spent, Pumpkin countered by stating that they ‘were under the impression that 100 percent of that went in there.’ 

Lauryn then accused her mother of strategically spending a specific amount Alana’s earnings before they went into the Coogan account and called June ‘a dirty dog’ for her actions.

Pumpkin added that her mother ‘tried to figure out the bare minimum she could put into Alana’s account that was legally right and then pocketed the rest.’

The reality television personality then added: ‘Lord knows what she did or where it went.’
