Alana Thompson Reveals She Never Received Money Earned as a Child Star: 'I Don't Know What Happened to It'

The reality television star shared that she has considered suing her mother over her hard-earned money, but isn't sure whether the law would be on her side.

In an exclusive interview, Alana Thompson divulged that she has never received the money she made from appearing in TLC's "Toddlers & Tiaras" and "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo."

The 19-year-old gained fame for her quippy one-liners and over-the-top personality in "Toddlers & Tiaras." Her stint on the pageant competition led to a spin-off of her show, "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo." However, she revealed she never even saw the money she earned from either show:

"I never had gotten all the money. I have never, ever received the "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" money. I've never seen it. Never ever even heard of it, if I'm being completely honest. I don't know what happened to it."

The TV personality shared that she has thought about taking the legal route to hold her mother, Mama June Shannon, accountable.

"I thought about suing her at one point, but I just know that I wouldn't probably get anything out of the end of the bargain because by law, she did what was right," Thompson revealed.

This comes after she argued with Shannon who confessed to taking money out of her Coogan account, a trust where parents of child stars are legally obligated to deposit a percentage of their earnings.

"By law, she at least put 20 percent in my account. And the other 80, she said that she used to take care of me. So the law, I feel like wouldn't see really a problem with what she did, I guess," said the Georgia native.
