 “Mama June” Shannon, in a Facebook video post Friday, confirmed that TLC cancelled Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, sticking to her story that reports she was recently romantically involved with a convicted sex offender ex-boyfriend named Mark McDaniel are “untrue.” 
 
 “Just got a phone call this morning from TLC and as of right now there will be no more production of the show — the statement of me dating a sex offender is totally untrue,” Shannon said. “I would not ever, ever, ever, ever put my kids in danger, I love them too much.” 
 
 She thanked fans for more than two years of support, adding, “TLC has kind of told us to hush-hush” about the matter. “I promise my kids [are] #1 priority over anything else and I would never put them in danger period over this or anything else,” the 35-year-old reality star wrote. “She is all about the kids — she only needs us girls, no one else — we are all sticking together as one happy family with us four girls,” Lauryn said, calling an image circulating of her mother in bed with the convicted pedophile “photoshopped.” 
 
 June’s daughter Anna “Chickadee” Shannon Cardwell also spoke with Radar about the report that her mother was seeing McDaniel, saying, “I know for a fact it’s not true,” adding that “the person behind this, all I got to say is he or she is trying to tear the family apart, which isn’t right one bit.”
– The ugly allegations surrounding the cancellation of Here Comes Honey Boo Boo are getting uglier. If you missed the first round, TLC canceled the reality show after it emerged that matriarch Mama June was once again dating a man convicted of molesting one of her relatives years ago. Now, we learn from Radar that it was Mama June's own daughter who was abused by Mark McDaniel. Anna Shannon Cardwell, now 20, tells the website that McDaniel, 53, molested her back in 2002 and 2003 when he was dating Mama June. McDaniel served 10 years and was released in March, and then he and Mama June—who split from a longtime boyfriend in September—apparently rekindled their romance. She continues to deny it, but the photo evidence is tough to dispute. In the latest to emerge, TMZ has photos of her and McDaniel strolling through a home for sale in Hampton, Ga. TLC doesn't believe her, and nor does daughter Anna: “I believe she is seeing him and hanging around him,” she tells Radar. “I’m hurt.”
