June Shannon has been making the media rounds this week in an attempt to rebuild her shattered image.
Unfortunately, what should be an apology tour has instead become an occasion for Shannon to lie through her teeth and raise further concerns about the safety and welfare of her children.
In an interview that’s set to air Thursday on Entertainment Tonight, Shannon opened up about her relationship with Mark McDaniel – the man who served ten years in prison for molesting her eldest daughter.
Shannon claims that she’s encountered McDaniel only twice since he was released from prison, both times in group settings.
The problem is, there’s a mountain of evidence that indicates Shannon recently carried on a romantic relationship with McDaniel and may even still be dating him:
Photos of Shannon and McDaniel lying in bed together were obtained by TMZ last month, and members of Shannon’s own family claimed that she took vacations with McDaniel and invited him into her home.
Shannon was interviewed by Dr. Phil recently for an episode of his talk show that will air on Monday.
She reportedly claimed during the taping that the photo of her and McDaniel that appeared on TMZ is a fake, and that she plans to sue the website for defamation.
TMZ maintains that the photo is as real as it appears to be.
Shannon also claims she was paid in full by TLC despite the fact that the network canceled Here Comes Honey Boo Boo following news of Shannon’s relationship with McDaniel.
It was previously reported that Shannon’s children would receive their full salaries, while "Mama June" herself would not, as she was fired for misconduct.
