Earlier this week, she also criticized her teenage daughter’s claims that she “stole” money and refuses to pay her college tuition.
In the last scene, Pumpkin was seen calculating and cross-referencing Mama June’s previous transactions and Alana’s earnings from her appearances as a child star, as well as out-of-state taxes since the family resides in Georgia, in their Coogan says on a whiteboard.
After revealing that $35,728 was missing from Alana’s funds, the sisters confronted their mother and demanded that she return the money.
“Well, you won’t even let me talk,” Mama June said during their disagreement.
Pumpkin then criticizes her mother for skirting the issue, but Mama June said she’s “not going to overlook the facts.”
She asked if they expected her to hand over the five-figure amount to Alana after presenting her slate to them.
In an emotional confessional, Alana threatened to end the relationship with her mother if she did not return the money.
“If mom wants to have a relationship with me, she has to pay me back,” he said before calling his mother a “thief.”

She asked if they expected her to hand over the five-figure amount to Alana after presenting her slate to them. When Pumpkin noted that the missing sum could have paid for two semesters of Alana’s tuition, Mama June said that she doesn’t think her youngest daughter will graduate and admitted that she doesn’t want to give her money just for her to drop out of school.

“Because one thing I don’t do is not hang out with any thief who [is] I’m going to steal my money now. You were the one who stole it, so you must pay me back.

In response, Pumpkin replied to his mother: ‘You’re being [a] negative bitch! You are not a supportive mother! Who cares? Is it investing in your daughter if you lost 10 grand? You lost $500,000 for a bag of fucking crack, bitch!
“God forbid Alana drops out of college and wastes 10 grand,” he added.
Defending herself, Mama June claimed that she doesn’t “tell them what to do with their money.”
Alana tried to calm the situation by saying that no one is “mad” at Mama June for not wanting to help her with her tuition and said that she just wanted her own money back so she could at least pay herself.
“I don’t even want you to pay for college,” he said. “I just want my $35,000 back in my account so I can pay for college.”
