There goes Honey Boo Boo. The TLC series Here Comes Honey Boo Boo has been cancelled after four seasons following a report that its star "Mama June" Shannon is dating a registered sex offender, Us Weekly can confirm.

"TLC has cancelled the series Here Comes Honey Boo Boo and ended all activities around the series, effective immediately," TLC tells Us in a statement.
