US EditionMama June Says Anna "Chickadee" Cardwell's Kids Have Been Separated Since Her Death
- In March 2024, Alana Thompson accused her mother June Shannon of stealing $35,000 from her Coogan account meant to protect her earnings as a child performer.
- This accusation followed a year of concealed spending where June first denied but later admitted using the money for household bills and personal expenses on the reality show Mama June: Family Crisis.
- Despite never receiving an apology, Alana stated in interviews in 2024 and 2025 that June has repaid some of the missing funds and their relationship has improved to a good place.
- Separately, after June's eldest daughter Anna Cardwell died in December 2023 from adrenal carcinoma, June gained custody of Anna's 12-year-old daughter Kaitlyn, while her other granddaughter Kylee remains with her father.
- This custody arrangement resulted in Kaitlyn and Kylee being separated since Anna's death, while June continues to honor Anna's memory publicly and navigate family dynamics on her reality series.
