Honey Boo Boo and Mama June drop by for a chat and a lesson in cheerleading

Honey Boo Boo and Mama June and the entire family is coming back to TLC for a brand new season of their hit reality series, Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, so that means that, for the next few days, you should expect a lot of interviews with them.

The former kiddie beauty pageant queen and her mom stopped by The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and, because Honey Boo Boo was being characteristically uncooperative, Fallon had to resort to humor to get a reaction: so he yelled his head off at her when she wouldn’t give him what he thought were friendship bracelets on her wrist.

It was in jest, of course.

You will find this segment in the first video below. The second one is of Honey Boo Boo showing off her cheerleading skills, which is when she also becomes a bit more talkative. You can see how, before that, she was again pretending to doze off because Fallon was talking to her mother.

This is something she often does in interviews, to the point where specialists started ringing the alarm on how her behavior isn’t exactly normal because she’d been exposed to too much attention from a too young age. In other words, whenever she’s feeling she’s not being paid enough attention, she acts out.

Back then, it was cute when she was doing, but Honey Boo Boo will be turning 8 this August.

The new season of Here Comes Honey Boo Boo premieres on TLC this month.
