Concerns have been raised about Mama June Shannon allowing her granddaughter, Kaitlyn, to grow up too fast. Several instances, including a recent situation, have sparked these concerns. Let’s dive into the details of what happened.
After the passing of Anna ‘Chickadee’ Cardwell, Kaitlyn’s mother, Mama June gained custody of her eldest daughter. However, there are doubts about whether Kaitlyn is in a suitable environment. She has been treated poorly by her family, including her uncle Josh Efird, who has been caught yelling at her on TikTok. June has also filmed Kaitlyn when she clearly doesn’t want to be in front of the camera. Additionally, an Amazon Wishlist created for Kaitlyn and her sister Kylee included a variety of expensive adult items, raising questions about their intended purpose.
A recent incident further fueled concerns about Kaitlyn growing up too quickly. According to a Reddit thread, she was taken to Ulta to pick the right shade of concealer. A user shared a TikTok video where June and her boyfriend Justin are seen bringing Kaitlyn to the store. In the video, June mentions that Kaitlyn needs to be color-matched because her concealer is too dark. This led some to question why a 10-year-old would be wearing concealer in the first place. Users expressed their confusion and concern, wondering what Kaitlyn was trying to conceal at such a young age.
While some Redditors mentioned that it’s typical for girls Kaitlyn’s age to experiment with makeup, others expressed discomfort with the situation. They felt that it was unnecessary for a 10-year-old to wear concealer and expressed a desire for Kaitlyn to have a normal childhood without being pushed to grow up too fast.
One user mentioned Mama June’s involvement in a show with her youngest daughter, Honey Boo Boo, which focused on dressing up their kids. Given Mama June’s background in shows like Toddlers and Tiaras, where young girls often wear makeup, some users speculated that makeup is something she is accustomed to young girls engaging in. Overall, the consensus on the Reddit thread was that there is no defending Mama June in any capacity, as her actions have raised concerns about Kaitlyn’s well-being and development.
