Daughter of ‘Honey Boo Boo’ mom sues, says she didn’t get money for appearances on show

MCDONOUGH, Ga. – The daughter of the reality TV show mother on “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo” is suing, saying she hasn’t been fully paid for her appearances.

Anna Cardwell filed the lawsuit Monday, saying her mother, June Shannon, the TLC network and others failed to pay her and her daughter for appearances on the show.

The lawsuit says Shannon and Honey Boo Boo LLC were in control of money meant to be put into a trust for Cardwell and her daughter. Cardwell claims she is owed more than $201,800 and her daughter is owed more than $99,500.

TLC representatives declined to comment. A phone listing for Shannon couldn’t be found.

The network cancelled its colorful series about the child beauty pageant contestant Alana (Honey Boo Boo) Thompson and her Georgia family.
