'Mama June: Family Crisis': Mama June Defends Spending $30K of Alana's Money (Exclusive)

'Mama June: Family Crisis': Mama June Defends Spending $30K of Alana's Money (Exclusive)

Mama June is defending her financial decisions. In an exclusive sneak peek clip of an upcoming episode of Mama June: Family Crisis, Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson, June's daughter, fumes as her mom refuses to give her back $30,000.

"She's just sitting there f**king lying, bro. Your own f**king husband is sitting there telling you that you did wrong," Alana tells her sister, Lauryn "Pumpkin" Efird, of June and her husband, Justin Stroud. "That s**t's got me f**king shaking."

"The point of the matter is that you're a piece of s**t mama and took somebody's f**king money," Lauryn adds, before the cameras leave the girls and the car and return inside the house to where June and Justin are speaking.

"I legally put the 20 percent in there," June tells the cameras. "I don't give a f**k. Take me to court."

When a producer questions if Alana is asking for money she's owed back, or if Alana wants June to give her $30,000, June replies, "I think it's a little bit of both. I hate to say it, but I think it's a little bit of both."

Justin disagrees with his wife, but she continues to express her take on the situation.

"I do understand that it's her money, but a lot of her money was spent on her own self," June said. "I don't give a f**k."

Justin tries to reason with June, explaining, "As a parent, that's what you do, June. Whether it's successful or it's not, that's what you do as a parent, you invest in them to a certain extent. Don't let them abuse you."

"But that's what I feel like they have been [doing]!" June exclaims, prompting Justin to respond, "OK, but this situation right here, June, you owe it to her."

"When you asked me to take care of stuff and you asked me to move here, I did it. And because I love them and I care for them and I want the relationship to not be f**ked up, at least on my end," he adds. "I need you as your husband to take care of it."

June simply responds with a shrug.

Back in April, ET spoke to June about the allegations that she stole money from Alana when she was underage.

"I didn't really steal any money," June told ET. "... It's not hundreds of thousands of dollars that is in question. It's only one show and that's Dancing With the Stars."

In an episode at the end of March, Alana confronted June about the $33,000 balance in a Coogan account, a bank account set up for child actors. Alana said it was drastically lower than the "six figures" she was expecting for all of the work she has done onscreen, including stints on DWTS, The Beach Ball and The Masked Singer

June initially said the missing money was due to taxes being taken out, but later conceded that an unspecified amount of money that Alana made from her time on television had been spent over the years to provide for the tot herself.

The money problem ultimately led to even more division between Alana and her mom, as the younger of the two later said she didn't want her mom coming to her goodbye party before leaving for college and even told June not to visit her at school in Colorado

However, June told ET that she has visited Alana at school.

"Something my kids told me four years ago and back in December... they said, 'Well, hey, we want you to keep showing up even if we don't want you to show up,'" she said. "I keep doing that no matter if we're fighting or we aren't getting along or there's some controversy." 

Mama June: Family Crisis premieres on Friday, June 14, at 9 p.m. ET/PT on WEtv.
