Honey Boo Boo Reveals the Truth.

Alana Thompson, better known to the world as Honey Boo Boo, broke through on “Toddlers and Tiaras” at the age of six, which led to her family life being chronicled on the hit Reality TV series, “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo.” In a new biopic called “I Was Honey Boo Boo” (premiering on Lifetime on May 17th at 8/7c), Alana herself narrates a fascinating recreation played by actors, and details the cycle of pain brought on by her Mama June’s extreme penchant for men, money, drugs and fame; the lack of supervision she had protecting her finances; her dreams of going to college for nursing, and the important role her sister played in raising her. 0:00 Alana Thompson’s Journey from Toddlers & Tiaras to Honey Boo Boo 0:40 Honey Boo Boo Addresses Pregnancy Rumors Head-On 1:29 How ‘I Was Honey Boo Boo’ Became a Lifetime Biopic 2:29 Why Alana Chose Now to Tell Her Story 2:55 Breaking Generational Trauma Through Education 4:02 Setting Boundaries with Mama June 6:23 The Pressure of Being a Child Star 8:11 Mama June’s Obsession with Fame—and the Cost 10:55 Why Almost Nothing Was Off Limits in the Movie 12:23 Fame, Jealousy & How It Affected Her Sisters 14:23 How Her Sisters Protected Her from Chaos 16:18 What Happened to All the Money?
