Honey Boo Boo Show Canceled Over Mom's Reported Relationship With Sex Offender

TLC 'ended all activities' after learning couple reunited

Here Comes Honey Boo Boo is going off the air for an appalling reason. The hit TLC reality show about the misadventures of an Arkansas family has been canceled in the wake of reports that "Mama" June Thompson got back together with former boyfriend Mark McDaniel, who was convicted in 2004 of forcing himself on an 8-year-old child. McDaniel and Thompson were also dating when he committed the crime, according to reports.

"TLC has canceled the series Here Comes Honey Boo Boo and ended all activities around the series, effective immediately," reads the unbylined statement submitted by a network spokesperson.
