Alana ‘Honey Boo Boo’ Thompson has angered her fans by hustling on social media for college cash. She was seen on TikTok trying to raise $2K for her tuition. Of course, she gladly collected donations but was bummed when she came up short. So, what is going on now with her and her financial situation? Keep reading for more details.
Honey Boo Boo Angers Fans Hustling For College Cash
When Alana ‘Honey Boo Boo’ Thompson was headed off to college, she was stressed. She had a $21K/year scholarship but the full tuition was way more than that. Therefore, she needed to ask her mother, Mama June for money to pay for the rest. This was something she did not have and it appeared that she had used all of the money Alana had earned as a child performer. Ultimately, Alana was left with just $33K to her name which was not enough to handle her needs. Especially because she wanted to live off-campus with her boyfriend, Dralin Carswell, and the rents were around $2K/month.
Now, according to a Reddit thread, Alana was hustling on TikTok for money to pay for the rest of her spring semester. Fans were appalled that she still needed the cash for a semester that was nearly done. Furthermore, they questioned what happened to the money she made from the current season of Family Crisis. The OP wrote this:
- Is on TT wanting cash to Zelle or cash app or Go fund me for her spring semester balance. Hello, is she not getting money for the show now? How can she be in spring semester with a balance. Majority of colleges want paid before classes start. She does not want you to pay school directly.
This had the OP extremely confused. So, what did other followers have to say?
- Taking after her mother, why bother doing anything when you can just get your fans to pay for it all?
- The whole family is nothing but Con artists n scammers
-
Why can’t she take student loans like the rest of us?
Where’s The Money?
Followers started to wonder why Alana ‘Honey Boo Boo’ Thompson was not taking out student loans. Apparently, someone had asked about this previously but to no avail. Then, it appears Mama June has spoken out, saying she is giving Alana $30K, according to one Redditor:
- Meanwhile, Justin and June have both recently made TikTok videos, claiming Alana has money in accounts and according to June she’s giving her $30,000 this weekend to wipe the slate clean.
No one really knows what is going on but many feel that Alana is scamming fans and should just get a real job at this point. Will anyone know the real truth about what is going on with her money? This is highly unlikely.
Do you think Alana should be begging for money on social media? More so, is she a scammer taking after her mother? Let us know your thoughts and watch Family Crisis Fridays on WeTV.
