14 DAY TRIAL // Mama June has just found out that there will be financial repercussions for her secret affair with child molester Mark McDaniel. The network airing her reality series, Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, TLC, has decided to cut her salary for the season that has just been canceled.
The reason for that, according to TMZ, is that TLC blames Mama June directly for the show's cancellation and, as such, consider that she should be held responsible. Last week it was announced that the network was pulling the plug on the reality series and that the full season which had been filmed over the summer would remain unaired.
TLC decides Mama June is to blame for the cancellation, they work out a huge pay cut for her
The same source indicates that TLC is not pleased with Mama June, so they decided to give her a significant pay cut for the season that will never be shown on TV.
The source was careful to mention that other members of the family who have been portrayed on the reality series would receive their rightful salaries, even if the show was canceled and the taped episodes would never air. Among those included are Uncle Poodle, Sugar Bear and all the kids.
The reason TLC decided to pull the plug was obviously connected with the molestation scandal, because as soon as the first reports and photos of Mama June and Mark McDaniel emerged, the network announced the cancellation of HCHBB.
The pay cut is based on the breaking of a moral clause in Mama June's contract
It turns out that TLC is citing a moral clause in Mama June's contract to deny her the money because she went on a secret affair with Mark McDaniel, the man accused and convicted of molesting her daughter Anna “Chickadee” Cardwell.
So far, there hasn't been a report to include the exact amount Mama June will forfeit, but that is only because TLC is still probably working out how much June stands to lose because of the aforementioned breach of contract.
And while all of this is going on, Mama June is still sticking to her story, claiming innocence. In a recent interview she only said that “the truth will come out” and that, for the moment, she didn't want to “say anything about anything.” However, she didn't give out any details on when her truth would come out and under what exact circumstances.
The fact of the matter is that the “truth” isn't looking so good for Mama June at the moment, as the evidence keeps piling up against her and even her molested daughter Anna has come forward to blast her in the media, revealing the sordid details of her molestation from Mark McDaniel and how her own mother would not believe her at the time.
