Best known for being the mom of Honey Boo and starring in the reality TV show "Here comes Honey Boo Boo", Mama June, is now under fire after news broke that she has rekindled her love affair with convicted child molester, Mark McDaniel.

McDaniel was arrested in 2004 and served 10 years in prison because he had molested a child and that child is actually a relative of the reality TV show mother. The couple has reportedly rekindled their affair ever since Mama June split from her husband, Sugar Bear.

Now, one of her older daughters --- Lauren Pumpkin, has spoken out about the rumors saying that her mother had left Mark 10 years ago and has not spoken to him ever since. 

According to reports Mark is a registered sex offender in the state of Georgia, the same state where the reality TV show is set. Registry details also show that Mark was released in March after he was convicted of molesting a child in 2004. Prosecutors say that he forced oral sex on a child.

The rumors started after TMZ posted a photo showing Mama June at a hotel with Mark but Pumpkin insists that the photo is photoshopped and after news spread that the TV mom was sneaking off production to see him and have little sleepovers with him, she has been also been reported to be buying him various gifts to get him re-started.

There has been no announcement if "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" will be returning for another season after they aired their fourth season premiere in August.
