Who is Pumpkin?
Lauryn Shannon, 20, a.k.a. Pumpkin, is the daughter Mama June Shannon and the sister to reality TV star Alana Honey Boo Boo Thompson.
The family is known for their TLC reality show Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, which followed their daily life.

Who is Honey Boo Boo?
Honey Boo Boo, 14, is Mama June’s youngest daughter.
She made her TV debut on Toddlers and Tiaras as she was competing in the beauty pageant.
Fans of the show enjoyed Honey Boo Boo so TLC decided to offer her her own series alongside her family.
Here Comes Honey Boo Boo aired for four seasons until it was cancelled due to Mama June’s alleged involvement with a sex offender.
Honey Boo Boo and her siblings make rare appearances in her mother’s reality television show, Mama June: From Not to Hot.
Why were they evicted from their home?
Pumpkin, her boyfriend Josh and Honey Boo Boo were forced to leave their Georgia home as they missed a rent payment in September of 2019.
Josh was sued for failing to pay $1,242 dollars and was hit with a $95 late fee from the landlord.
He was served on September 11, 2019 outside the door of the home.
Documents from a Georgia court claim that the landlord asked for the rent payment and the home’s possessions.
Josh failed to answer the summons.
The court ordered the Sheriff’s Office to remove him and all of his belongings from the property on October 10, 2019.
A clerk for the Georgia court confirmed to The Sun that the eviction was executed.
Josh was not ordered to pay the past due rent or late fee.
What are they doing now?
Pumpkin, Josh, their one-year-old daughter, and Honey Boo Boo have been taking refuge in a hotel room.
Honey Boo Boo revealed that they are hiding from the “bad people” that could be looking for them due to Mama June’s debts.
Pumpkin and Honey Boo Boo have been working out and focusing on their health as they deal with criticism from fans of the show.
Why is Mama June in trouble?
Mama June abandoned her family as she awaits trial with boyfriend Geno Doak for possession of a controlled substance and drug paraphernalia charges.
She reportedly sold the house she lived in with her children in an effort to make more money.
“The only reason I sold the house, I was dead f**king broke,” said Mama June.
Mama June and Geno reportedly spent thousands of dollars on drugs a day while together.
“Because you know, at that point, we was doing quite a bit. I mean, it was a couple ounces a day. Our habit was $2,500 a day, if not more,” said Mama June.
Her children blame Geno for her decline and for leaving them homeless by selling the house.
