Kris Jenner, 'Strong Dislike' For Honey Boo Boo's Mom
It was reported that "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" star Kris Jenner does not like June Shannon, who is the mother of reality television star Honey Boo Boo. This is because Jenner feels as though the stage mom is using her very own child to make loads of cash.
According to a source close to Radar Online, Jenner had the following thoughts on Shannon, reported on Sept. 6:
"To say Kris is not a fan of 'Here Comes Honey Boo Boo' is an understatement. She thinks the Thompsons (Honey Boo Boo's family) are classless, unlike her family, and can't understand why America is so fascinated by them," stated the source.
"Kris especially has a strong dislike for June, claiming the beauty pageant world is vile and that June is a bad mom for 'exploiting' Alana in that way. Kris thinks it's all a ploy to make money, and says she sees through it and thinks it is absolutely disgusting," added the source.
The source went on to claim that Jenner thinks the success of "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo," which mainly stars 7-year-old Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson, is stealing publicity from her family's E! program.
The popular TLC series is actually a spin-off of another reality program, "Toddlers & Tiaras," in which Honey Boo Boo debuted as a young beauty pageant competitor.
The "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" ratings have been nothing short of impressive. Not only is the show beating "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" in the number of people tunning in, but it racked up more viewers than the entire Republican National Convention last week, and also tied Bill Clinton's DNC speech this week.
The reality television show was watched by 2.9 viewers a week ago - double the amount of people that tuned in to Republican Vice Presidential hopeful Paul Ryan's acceptance speech.
