Mama June was just a teenager when she gave birth to Anna. As a result, Anna was raised by her maternal grandmother Sandra. When she was living with June, June's then-boyfriend Mark McDaniel s*xually abused her.
While he was convicted of his crimes, June had defended McDaniel and allegedly even dated him in 2014, which led to the two having troubled relations. They were allegedly on a path to mending their relationship.
