Mama June stated that the first picture of her in a white shirt was taken when she began using drugs while the worn-out image of herself was during her addiction to cocaine. In the second slide the TV star looked better than ever in a red shirt.
Back in November, [Shannon] revealed she had undergone surgery to remove over a pound of fat from her neck.

"I don't have all the answers but I will well listen and try to help the best way I can."
