Lauryn “Pumpkin” Shannon’s Ex Reacts to New Romance on “Mama June: Family Crisis”
In a plot twist that could only be described as a masterclass in familial dysfunction, Lauryn “Pumpkin” Shannon’s ex-husband Josh learned the hard way that love is as fleeting as a reality TV contract. The latest sneak peek into Season 7 of “Mama June: Family Crisis” reveals that while some families are built on love, the Shannon clan appears to be constructed from a mix of chaos and questionable decisions. Josh’s realization that Lauryn is dating someone new hits him like a ton of bricks—or perhaps more accurately, like a bouquet of flowers hurled in frustration. “Whatever hope I had left for my marriage is gone,” he states, likely while contemplating life choices that led him to this moment, a bit like a deer caught in the headlights, if that deer had just discovered it was also part of a soap opera.
The drama unfolds with Mama June declaring, “Dysfunctionality works for our family,” which is a bold strategy considering they could probably win an award for “Most Likely to Get Caught in a Love Triangle at Thanksgiving.” The trailer opens with Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Shannon receiving an absurdly oversized check, presumably for her Coogan account, which raises the question: Is it too big to fit in the family drama? Meanwhile, Pumpkin drops the bombshell of her impending divorce, leaving Josh as rattled as a soda can in a blender, and Alana is left in Colorado hoping her boyfriend Dralin avoids a decade in prison for a DUI and other assorted mischief.
As tensions rise, Lauryn’s secret romance begins to unravel when Josh catches wind of it. This revelation sends him into a tailspin, culminating in him throwing flowers—because nothing says “I’m heartbroken” quite like a floral display. Meanwhile, Pumpkin is in full meltdown mode, demanding to know who spilled the tea on her new relationship, because obviously, when you’re in a family like this, it’s not just the drama that’s contagious; it’s the paranoia too.
Adding to the mix, the season promises medical emergencies that seem to pop up faster than you can say “reality TV cliché.” A car crash implies a heart attack or a pregnancy—because why not throw in every possible scenario? When the family starts arguing over alliances like it’s the “Game of Thrones,” you have to wonder if they know they’re not actually fighting for a throne, but rather a spot in a dysfunctional circle.
So mark your calendars for May 30 when the circus resumes, and remember: if you thought your family had issues, you clearly haven’t tuned into the Shannon family saga yet. Tune in next time for more bad decisions and questionable life choices.
