Fans of Mama June are calling Lauryn ‘Pumpkin’ Efird fake and believe she is using the show to gain fame. So, what led them to this conclusion, and do they have anything to back up their claims? Read on to see what other fans and followers have said.
Fans call Lauryn ‘Pumpkin’ Efird fake, trying to gain fame
Many fans have praised Lauryn ‘Pumpkin’ Efird for taking in her sister, Alana ‘Honey Boo Boo’ Thompson, when she needed a family. Mama June had fallen deep into addiction and was unable to care for her youngest child. However, Pumpkin, who was newly married and still a young mom herself, managed to overcome this situation with her husband, Josh Efird, and they eventually became Alana’s legal guardians. But the truth came out that when Pumpkin was pregnant with twins, Alana was actually not living with her. Instead, she was staying with her older boyfriend, Dralin Carswell, and her sister, Jessica Shannon, while she finished high school. So, everything fans saw on TV wasn’t actually the whole truth. Now, a Reddit thread has emerged since the new season of Family Crisis started on Friday, June 14. It’s all about Pumpkin, and they feel she’s been putting on a front for the cameras, exaggerating everything to the max. The original poster pointed out the moment when Pumpkin kicked Josh out and made him sleep outside. They also mentioned FaceTime calls that seemed longer than they actually were.
Finally, it’s the expression Lauryn ‘Pumpkin’ Efird constantly shows:
Throughout that call, she kept making all sorts of facial expressions for the camera, and I don’t know, it seemed like no one was as fake as she is.
Moreover, the fact that Alana wasn’t living with her was brought up. So, do other viewers and followers agree?
Pumpkin is a real fame seeker.
Out of the 4, Pumpkin is the one who looks most like June.
She gives me a headache.
Oh yes, she puts on a show in front of the camera a lot.
The way they let Alana talk at such a young age is really disgusting.
It’s time to pack it up.
Some people feel it’s time for Lauryn ‘Pumpkin’ Efird and her entire family to pack up and be done with it. There have also been many comments about how they act one way on TV and then turn into “frauds” on social media. Others added that Pumpkin isn’t shy about begging for money, then showing off all her expensive tattoos. They feel the money could be better spent on her family or something more useful, but that’s just their nature. The current season is a mix of emotions. Mama June won’t give Alana ‘Honey Boo Boo’ Thompson the $30,000, but Anna Cardwell is dying. So, everything will be like a roller coaster ride.
Do you think Pumpkin is fake and loves to play for the cameras? Moreover, are you ready for the family to be over? Let us know and catch Mama June: Family Crisis Fridays on WeTV.
