With June "Mama June" Shannon's revelation that convicted sex offender Michael Anthony Ford is the father of two of her daughters, it became clear once and for all that the reality star has horrible taste in men. All four of her daughters' fathers have spent time behind bars.
Here's the rundown of Chickadee, Chubbs, Pumpkin and Honey Boo Boo's misbehaving daddies.

In an interview with "Entertainment Tonight" on Wednesday, Mama June, 35, revealed that her two middle daughters' dad is a convicted sex offender. He served more than two years in prison for the sexual exploitation of minors after he was caught on an episode of NBC's "To Catch a Predator" in 2005.

Even Honey Boo Boo's pop spent some time in the slammer. The cuddly Michael "Sugar Bear" Thompson was sentenced to five years in prison for robbing a series of campsites and setting a camper on fire, according to the National Enquirer.

Despite what was said on "Entertainment Tonight," two days earlier Chickadee claimed that Pumpkin's father might actually be Mark McDaniel, the man who kickstarted this scandal in the first place. In 2004, McDaniel was convicted of aggravated child molestation after forcing oral sex on Chickadee, who was 8 years old at the time.
