I guess the older daughter just stepped forward to say that she was the 8 year old who was molested.

From gawker.

Just when you thought this story couldn't get shittier or more nauseating, TMZ drops the bomb that the relative of Here Comes Honey Boo Boo matriarch June Shannon's that her reported boyfriend, convicted child molester Mark McDaniel, forced oral sex on 10 years ago, when she was 8 years old, is none other than June's daughter Anna.

Sources tell TMZ ... Anna Cardwell — who is now 20 and married with a child — believed her mom earlier today that she was not dating the man who molested her. But we're told Anna has now received a lot more info, and is now convinced June betrayed her by seeing McDaniel again.

Anna wants it known she's the victim because it makes what her mom is doing all the more egregious. We're told Anna feels her relationship with her mom has been destroyed, and the only way June can see her granddaughter is if McDaniel is nowhere to be seen.

We're also told TLC reached out to Anna today to offer her counseling.
This is enormously upsetting. Anna spent much of her childhood estranged from her mother, which is something she and I discussed when I interviewed the family two years ago. From that piece:

Just this week, the National Enquirer ran an item about June attempting to give Anna up for adoption before Anna landed in June's mother's house (June, 32, was 15 when she had Anna). Anna confirmed to me that her grandmother "basically" raised her and she did, in fact, move back home from her grandmother's for the sake of the show.
June has denied the allegations that caused TLC's cancelation of Here Comes Honey Boo Boo. And so the show goes out in the spectacular fashion with which it arrived, though none of us could quite predict the tragic particulars of its demise.

"Reality TV don't last more than three years," June said to me in 2012. "People have a good run for about three years. Some people fizzle out within a couple of weeks. We've had about 10 weeks and if it stays for the next three years, great."

Ugh, that is terrible.

Also, the Onion story linked in that article is just incredible.

She can go to hell and die in a fire. I hate that expression, except for using it on her.

That is so, so sick. What a poor excuse for a human being. (Both of them)

I was wondering if it was her daughter. So horrifying no matter who it was. I don't watch the show-it made me feel icky just watching the commercials-so this may be a dumb question but...who is the father of her kids? Is this guy the father to any of them? Or was it the Sugar Bear dude or someone else entirely?

Sugar Bear is Honey Boo Boo's dad, but not the older girls'.

Omigod. Oh. My. God. Please someone tell me that Alana (Honey Boo Boo) is being removed from her mother's custody.

I am so horrified. But good for Anna for coming forward. Poor girl.

I can't even say good for her for coming forward - can you imagine thousands of people knowing something like this about you? :-(

I think it's pretty safe to guess that they cancelled the show because they know there will be backlash now that they knew the information is out there. If they thought it would boost ratings they'd probably extend that POS a contract. TLC is way more interested in making money than what is best for children.

Agreed. See: the Gosselins.

Interesting about Anna being raised by her grandmother.you can tell on the show that she and June aren't close at all. Now it makes sense.June is such garbage for this.

Maybe I'm a vindictive bitch, but I have to give it to Anna because there is no way she'd see my kids again. June is such a piece of shit.
