Social media buzzed with false claims that Mike Thompson, father of Alana 'Honey Boo Boo' Thompson, had died in a car accident. TMZ shut down the rumors with video evidence of the man himself confirming he's alive and well in Georgia. Phew, crisis averted—or was it just a hoax?
Darlings, grab your tea because the internet tried to bury Mike Thompson alive this week, but TMZ swooped in with the ultimate plot twist: he's very much kicking! 😤 Unsubstantiated social media whispers claimed the dad of reality TV fave Alana 'Honey Boo Boo' Thompson perished in a tragic car crash. But hold the eulogies— a video clip from Saturday shows Mike chilling in Georgia, declaring he's "alive and well" and taking life "day by day." Talk about serving resurrection realness!
Alana, real name Alana Thompson, wisely didn't bite on the drama. For the record, Mike shares her with ex June "Mama June" Shannon; they split back in 2014 and haven't spoken since. He's also estranged from Alana herself. Oof, family ties looser than a bad weave.
This isn't the first time crashes have crashed their family narrative. Earlier this year, Alana spilled to Us Weekly about a 2014 accident they were in together, hinting at her dad's fiery side: "There [were] just times when my dad, he would just get super angry and he let his anger issues just get the best of him." Yikes, sounds like road rage on steroids.
And get this—Alana dodged her own bullet in September, when a young driver T-boned her car right outside her Colorado driveway. Mama June dished to TMZ that Alana walked away with just some aches, though her ride took a major hit. Coincidence? Or is the universe just messy with the Thompsons? So, spill: are these rumors just bored trolls, or is there more family shade brewing? 👀
