Hot June Shannon Put Back Weight & Fans Worry About Her

June Shannon was on Not to Hot, but in Mama June: Family Crisis, WETV fans noticed she seemed to have put all her weight back on again. On social media this weekend, many of them expressed their concern about her eating habits.

Fans are not just gossiping. They’re worried. On March 23, 2025, someone on Reddit posted, “As someone who had the same weight loss surgery as Mama June, how did she gain it all back so fast? I’m not trying to be mean, I’m genuinely concerned. I lost about as much as she did at her lowest. What happened? Was it stress and food?”

Fans who responded shared their thoughts about June’s failure to keep the weight off. “Sugar will pile on the pounds, quick,” one person said. Another one reacted by saying, “From what we’ve seen her eat, she didn’t stick to a healthy eating plan.”

Here’s an extreme example of how wrong eating might affect the gains from a gastric sleeve: “My husband’s cousin and his wife had the same surgery. They didn’t change their diets and gained it all back. His cousin died from liver problems because he wasn’t healthy enough for a transplant. Yo-yo dieting is really hard on your liver.”

More people chimed in. “Watching her eat made me worry about her stomach. When I saw her eating all those sugary carbs, I cringed. I didn’t want her stomach to stretch.” Someone else pointed out, “Quick fixes don’t work. It looks like they fixed everything except why she eats the way she does.”

The TV Star Admitted She Put Her Weight Back 

June Shannon’s weight has been a topic for a while. She openly said she gained about 100 pounds after she stopped drinking. The issues she’s been dealing with regarding her kids seemed to drive her to eat comfort food. Hence the video of herself eating some wild food combinations on TikTok.

Back in 2022, when fans found out Honey Boo Boo and her boyfriend were getting weight loss surgery, there were a lot of mixed reactions. One major concern was that Honey Boo Boo is young and her mother didn’t seem to teach her consistent healthy eating habits.

Will Things Change?

Last year, Shannon got custody of her late daughter Anna Cardwell’s daughter, Kaitlyn. Young Kaitlyn never looked likely to gain unhealthy weight, but fans do worry that living with her grandmother might see her learning habits that make her develop the same weight problems.

There is some hope, though. Spoilers for the upcoming season of the show suggest that June decided to try and live a healthier lifestyle. Perhaps, with the support of her husband Justin, she will get on top of her weight soon.
