You're a nosy. You want the full sitch? Come to Pop Culture Thursday. Hello and welcome to the J Train Podcast. This is J Train Jared Freed coming to you live from the West Village. Manhattan. That's right. Every Thursday is a Pop Culture Thursday where I go to Page Six and I click on some articles that look interesting to me. We read them, we riff on them. We. Yeah, you and I. You get to listen and I get to riff. And I want to thank you for being a listener to the J Train podcast. I went to Page Six. Let's just get right into it. I went to Page Six to kind of like, I'll do like a brief once over. Not a lot today. Not a lot. Not a lot of, like, fun stories. I. You know what's not fun? You know, I'm looking. There's tons of Diddy stuff. That's not really what I'm looking to get into. There's tons of the Justin Baldoni, Blake Lively thing. It's so far down the river that I don't even know if I could start from square one anymore. It's. And Justin Baldoni is now just the guy from the Blake Lively lawsuit. Like, he, he. I, I don't even know what his career is anymore, but I. And so see him and I see that Taylor Swift's now being brought into it and text messages and you have people saying that the Kelsey brothers unfollowed Blake Lively. It. It just seems like such a mess that I'm like, I, it's, it's. I'm. It's out of my pay grade. Me. You're. You're friendly pop culture enthusiast. My, you know, a Page Six enthusiast. It's just so far away from where it started. I mean, I remember talking about it on this podcast and being like, okay, talking about it, then going, oh, it's too much. It's not fun. It's entered into the serious world where we can't even have fun with it. And then it became fun again. And now I look at it, I'm like, where did this, where did this even begin? I mean, they must have. Makes you think about, you know, I guess we don't think of our actors and actresses and, and, and people in the. I don't think of them of having this, like, mega water of being that rich. I know they're rich, but then you get into the real numbers. Like, they have attorneys on staff. They're doing. This is hundreds of thousands of dollars a month, I would assume. So I don't know. I'm Way off the the topic at hand. It's pop Culture Thursday.

I mean she now this story has gotten big enough for her to have a name. That's when you know it's gotten big. Jordan Hudson is now a name that people know. It went from Bill Belichick's younger girlfriend to Jordan Hudson. Like, I, every time I heard Jordan Hudson, I would think of like American Idol, right? I would think of like, is that Jennifer Hudson? I would, you know, I was like, oh, wait a minute. Oh, the, the, in Jennifer Hudson has had like a huge career too. Like this. I'm looking her up right now. Like if you put in Jennifer H, she comes up singer, actress. I think she won an Oscar. Jennifer Kate Hudson, award winning and American award winning American actress, singer, producer and talk show host. Yes, she has a talk show. She's the youngest woman and only American Idol alum to win an egot. EGOT is like the most impressive thing you can really do in entertainment, I think. Does Jamie Foxx have an egotist? Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony? This is a woman who waited in line to go on a reality show. Good for her. I mean, we all, I, I wouldn't have known. She's five, nine tall, got some height. Jennifer Hudson. So yeah, that must enrage Jennifer Hudson to know that like Jordan Hudson. I was like, is that the, the woman from American? I don't know. It's Bill Belichick's younger girlfriend. So Jordan Hudson is now in the headline of the Articles. It's not Bill Belichick's girlfriend anymore. It says Jordan Hudson plays the victim. Okay, what side is page six on? Are you wondering? Jordan Hudson plays the victim, announces huge career change and letter to teammates. I'm going to click on this. I mean, this story is so juicy at this point. Pablo Torre, who from espn, who. It seems as though Pablo is obsessed with proving that he is an investigative journalist or that it seem. And I'm saying this as someone who just gets his videos on my feed and likes him on when he was on around the Horn, likes him when he's on pti, likes, been. Been liking everything he does when he's popped up in my world. But it does seem like he has this obsession with either showing that he's an investigative journalist or that investigative journalism has an audience because every video of him is. He has dug into this topic and I watch them all. He's done a great job. It is interesting when you go to the comments of the Bill Belichick, Jordan Hudson, Pablo Torre is a Pablo Torres, or I think it's Torre. I get so many names wrong. I hope this doesn't come off as, you know, a personal thing. Here's what I'm saying. The weird thing about it is, is this. There seems to be the commenters, if I'm to comment on the commenters, seems to be this thing where they're like, it's weird of Pablo to be so obsessed with this topic. And it's like, I don't think so. I think it's weird to think it's weird. Are you just saying that you see the greatest. Let's. Let's stop it. As the greatest coach in NFL history, the most important American sports league, maybe the most important sports league in the world. The most. He is the best at coaching this huge sport and he starts dating someone who's 22, 23 years old. The family doesn't seem into it from afar. It seems like it's a little bit messy. A guy who never said much. Yeah, this is something that has some juice to it. This is something that could be interesting other than, you know, and then what people will do. And I can see they're doing this to Pablo. I see in the comments. It's like this thing of like, oh, you're just interested in a old man dating a young girl. And it's like, no, there's Shakespearean things going on here. There's his sons who aren't in favor of it. There's the daughter in law who seemingly left A comment on an Instagram post that was like not for it. So. And you see her in that interview on Good Morning America or Good Morning CBS Morning show where she's basically looks like she's in charge of a guy, of, of a person who has a lot of power. It's like a shadow government. So it's recently she has been like ousted from her work, I guess at unc. Jordan Hudson. Let's read the article. I mean we're going to find out that she's playing the victim in some way. Based on Page Six's opinion, Jordan Hudson has experienced an identity eraser while dating Bill Belichick. I, I don't think she's been erased. I think she, I mean I just did like a 10 minute preamble on how I know her name now. The 24 year old ruminated on her relationship in an emotional letter where she announced she was withdrawing from her cheerleading team. I didn't know she was on a cheerleading team. In the note obtained by the Washington Post Tuesday, Hudson issued an apology to her teammates while thanking them for tolerating baggage from her headline making romance. Okay, so the 24 year old admitted to this in a letter where she announced she was withdrawing from her cheerleading team. She must be a coach. She acknowledged that her fellow cheerleaders didn't ask for interlopers at practice. The subsequent media exploit exploitation. This is all in quotes and the lack of dependability. The pageant competitor continued. I can't thank you enough for the sense of grounding you have provided for me during a difficult period of my life. During this time I have faced a slow exterior eraser erasure of my strong individual identity. I that is a different. I, I guess, well I guess you could. She could say that it's being her identity is being written for her based on assumptions. I guess I can agree with. Hudson added noting that thanks to her team for embracing her, she was able to remain intact. Okay, is she still a cheerleader? Are there competitions for adults? Her and Belichick's made it to December connection went viral in March 2024 one and Hudson message was dated nine months later. She cited an inability to prioritize the blackouts team amid scheduling conflicts as a reason for quitting. Usually people can just go to the coach, like I don't know why. Like to me again this is all like, this is all kind of why people are interested in this relationship. She seems to play as if she's not smarter than the average bear, which she is. Or she thinks we're stupid I don't think she's stupid. I think she sent a letter to her team, knowing it would get out to the press, knowing it would be an article, knowing that it was her basically talking to the public but not having to do it on Mike. And this is like a pro move for someone that has no background in PR just from doing it for her own TikTok and her boyfriend, Bill Belichick. But I'm saying this is like one of those moves. Like, you could go to the cheerleader coach and go, hey, I'm really sorry. You can hold a team meeting. Hey, everyone. And then someone could go from the. Yeah, she came and collected us all. And, you know, I'm just telling you what happened. This isn't coming secondhand. This is coming straight from the horse's mouth. She called an inability to prioritize the blackout team blackouts team amid scheduling conflicts as a reason for quitting. Hope you can all understand that my absences were symptomatic of my commitment to put the needs of my other teams above my own needs for recreation, she claimed. So it's. Is this a letter to her, like, intramural cheerleading squad? Like, is this the same as like. Like, if I left a softball team that I joined on ZOG sports, Is that what this is? Is she writing a letter to her ZOG sports team? Hey, I'm sorry to inform you I won't be able to make the volleyball team practice that we have scheduled every Tuesday before we go to o' Flanagan for beers. Like, is that what this is? I. I hope you can understand my absence. Like, someone on the team is reading this letter being like a letter. It's an email. Reading the email being like, who. Who the hell is Jordan Hudson? Oh, is that the girl dating Bill Belichick? She wrote us an email to apologize for leaving. Yeah, we're. We're okay. This cheerleading team, that's not even a team. This is what we do. Like, it's a yoga class will be fine. It's crazy. Selfishly, I always would have preferred to be in the gym with all of you doing what I love cheerleading. So then do it. This is what I don't understand. The choice was not made suddenly or lightly. Hudson insisted her flyer position notably was set to be taken over by someone with a rightful commitment to reliable practice. Since the December 2024 letter. So this was sent in December. Hudson has been had a busy year. So this is her letter sent to the team, and now maybe it's come out. Never mind. May I? Don't think she. Maybe she didn't intend for it to come out. I mean, she's doing sending that. But who's the. I don't understand this team that she's on. This story gets wilder and wilder. And I will say the Pablo Torre thing, he's done a good job. I am fascinated with every report he has. And he went, I saw a video of him talking to people who worked on a commercial campaign where Bill Belichick was being paid seven figures. And she came in and was like, I have an idea for the script. Like, that is stuff that is like, why? And you're talking about out again. One of the most important figures in sports history in the United States, so to say. Like, who cares? Leave him alone. He's living publicly. Here's a story. Justin Bieber rips off Haley's patented road phone case to hold a joint. I'll have to pay her a fee. I don't even know that is a sentence. That's a headline. I don't even know what it means. I don't even know Justin for someone knows everything about that. Someone read that and was like, oh, my God, he ripped off Haley's patented road phone case. She has a patented phone case. Is there. Am I using the Haley Bieber phone case? And I'm, like, paying for her trips to San Trope. Is that something that's happening? Am I a part of the yacht payments? Like, I don't even know what I'm what What companies these people have to hold a joint. Like, all I see is Justin Bieber. I, I don't even know. I I. Every Bieber story lately has been like, is this guy okay? Justin Bieber's new phone case requires a joint effort. Great sentence. For the past few months, the baby singer has been teasing products from his forthcoming clothing brand Skylark. On Instagram, we've seen chunky slides, abstract sunglasses, and now a phone case designed to hold a joint. Well, you can't be too happy when someone in your life gets that phone case. I think if you're the mother of and you're like, oh, that's the Justin Bieber phone case with the joint holder. Yeah, like I'll ever use it. You're like, oh, God, we have to have a talk with our son. If you're the girlfriend or boyfriend of the person who bought, there's really only, like, you can only buy this phone case and, like, have no one judge you from the ages of, like, 21 to 25. And that's even pushing at 25. Someone be like, you have a phone case with a joint holder on it. I mean, you would hope they're an artist. Like, I don't think if you are a corporate America person, if you're like in that world, you have from 21 to 25 to have a phone case with a joint holder. That's it. Beyond that, we need a little less joint holder pride. We need a little less weed pride. After that, people don't take you seriously. Wait, you have a. Unless it's one of those long. Those long old timey joint holders, like the. The clip that's like silver. That's fun. Then you have to evolve. But you can't have the phone case with a joint holder and be taken seriously after 25. And I'm giving you an extra year. On Tuesday, Justin revealed he's taking inspiration from his wife Haley Bieber in designing a phone case made to hold a single joint or blunt for on the go use. Who are these blunt smokers that are in a rush to get to their appointments? Oh, my God. I gotta make sure I get the joint holder phone case so that I don't miss all my meetings. Oh, my God. For the joint smoker on the go for the joint smoker who's looking to make their. Their coding meetings. Is that. What. Is that the. Is that what's going on here? Who is this for? Where are all these punctual joint smokers that I've been missing out on my whole life? Working on the molding. Please approve this idea. Haley Bieber, lmfao. He captioned a photo with the prototype. So here's the prototype. It's a pretty cool case, I gotta say. You could also put a pen in there. There could be other things. It doesn't have to be a joint holder, so I guess Haley also makes the same thing. The product was inspired by Haley's super popular road lip case. Oh, hers makes sense. Which launched in February 2024, even won a Vogue beauty award for best viral beauty moment. The silicon I. The silicone iPhone case was a uniquely shaped slot in the back specifically designed to hold the beauty brand's best selling peptide lip treatments. Hers makes more sense than the joint holder. That is like the joke of your idiot toer boyfriend. Like your idiot boyfriend who gets high all day is like, what if it was a weed holder? And then Bieber is the idiot boyfriend with funds. Like, he can do this whatever. He's like the kid. He's Richie Rich. He's whatever he dreams will come true. The pop star wasn't afraid to give his wife flowers either. Writing on Instagram. Haley Bieber, as we know, innovated something that has now become a staple in culture. And her road peptide lip phone case. I. Listen, can we just agree calling it a staple in culture is a little bit too far to go with this lip balm holder in the phone case. There's been phone cases with wallets. Let's not act like this was, like, a genius thing. Look, listen, this is where people start hating rich people because just don't have access to the world. And then tell me how you, you, you traveled the world on your own. No, no, no, no. You had the money to go to someone and go, hey, this is like the Bill Burr joke. Bill Burr had a joke about Steve Jobs how everyone said he was Tesla, but he wasn't even, like, he was just coming up with things off the top of his head. Listen, I respect the creativity involved with. Hey, what if we put the lip gloss. I'm always, like, looking for it in my purse. But let's not call someone like a culture mover because they put a lip gloss holder on the back of a. Of a case and then they had the ability and, and, and money and funds to sell it and the audience, because of today's social media, to then sell it on their own. No, no, no. Get. Get out of here, Bieber. He continued. Turns out she has this tech patented, so if I want to make this case. Oh, so she has probably the patent for silicone case on the back of a phone, which would be a great patent to have. So if I want to make this case, I'll have to pay her a fee if even if she approves me to make this. Fortunately, fans of Justin's design may be in luck. The model responded in the comments. I'll think about it. Oh, what a cute, fun. What a cute, fun banter for two billionaires to go, oh, let's. I'll think about you making us more money. Go to. Okay, Jamie Lee Curtis. We'll. We'll age up a little. Jamie Lee Curtis conven confesses to getting plastic surgery at 25. That. That's a serious thing. That back then after cruel comment on perfect set. My God, this wasn't even a online comment. This Jamie Lee Curtis got plastic surgery after a cinematographer criticized her appearance on the set of her 1985 and 1985 film Perfect. Okay, what did the cinema. I. I have to assume this is gonna be the biggest asshole thing that's ever been said to someone's face. Nowadays when People say things to you. It's online, it's in the comments. You just imagine them in their basement wearing their sweats. They're a loser. Who cares? This is someone who had a job, said this directly to Jamie Lee Curtis in a way that made her go get plastic surgery. I don't know what he said. Okay, ready? He was like, yeah, I'm not shooting her today. Her eyes are baggy. What? Cinematographer. Wow. What? What, What? An artist like that. To me, like, in what world is your cinematography ruined by the bags on someone under someone's eyes? It's it. And I was 25, so for him to say that, it was very embarrassing. Curtis, 66, shared on 60 Minutes. Yeah, that is embarrassing. The guy won't even go to work because of how bad your baggy eyes are. That's. I mean, have you ever had someone go, hey, you got little bags on your eyes. You're like, oh, that stung. I don't need to hear that. I can see it for myself. I had someone do that to me. It was after the U up live show. This girl, she was like flirting, but I don't think she was. She was being mean. She goes, yeah, you got some bags under your eyes. I guess you're tired. I was like, okay. Like, I can't imagine someone being like, hey, the work day has to end. Hey, everybody, no work for me today. Old baggy eyes is making me depressed with their sad looking face. I'll come back tomorrow. Hopefully she's gotten some sleep. Like, that is the meanest thing. So as soon as the movie finished, I ended up having some plastic surgery. Jamie Lee, consider me empathetic because I think that is like a. That is one of those. Talk about like a traumatic moment. Hey, everybody. Old baggy eyes has made me sad. I'm gonna move on out. I'll be back tomorrow. Then you have to work with that guy for the rest of the week or whatever the month or whatever. You know the schedule is. While Curtis didn't name any names, the late Gordon Willis was the movie cinematographer. Yeah, you don't have to. It's on the, on the credit list. According to IMDb, I won't name any names, but the cinematographer on the movie from 1985 that you can go Google right now called Perfect. He had said something about my eyes. Like, we'll find him. Willis, known for his. For his work on critically acclaimed films like Annie hall, the Godfather, and all the President's men, died in 2004 at the age of 82. Well, I guess all the speeches have been done, the eulogies have been given. So he escaped. The Freaky Friday actress looked back on her cous cosmetic procedure with regret. Really? That's just not what you want to do when you're 25 or 26. And I regretted it immediately and have kind of sort of regretted it since. Yeah, I would say at that age, especially during those times, like, you know, plastic surgery is relatively new. Curtis is especially ashamed of her decision to go under the knife since becoming a champion for natural beauty in her later years. Oh, is this like, kind of an admission she doesn't want to be outed. I've become a really public advocate for to say to women, you're gorgeous. You're perfect the way you are. She said. I mean, it's just this kind of proves how easy that is to say to someone, you're gorgeous. Like, I think you're kind of a dick when you do that. I was on stage the other night, the other night, it was like last Wednesday, last Thursday. Oh, it was before I left for the wedding last week on the Wednesday, I was like, oh, yeah, My dad offered me as Ozempic. Someone yelled out, you're gorgeous. It's like, yeah, I'm not saying. I'm just saying. I'm telling you a story. I don't need to hear it. I'm fine. She says, so, yeah, it was not a good thing for me to do. The procedure was more than emotionally taxing for the address. She also developed a reliance on pain medication. Oh, my God. This. The cinematographer. What an asshole. I became very enamored with the warmth. Warm. Bay. Bay. This is. This is like poetry. I became very enamored with the warm bath of an opiate. I think when you talk, if you're recovered addict, I think you should understand more. Or if you've been into pain medication or gone down that road, you should know how easily someone could be convinced into doing it. Can you talk a little bit less poetic about it? Like, don't talk about it like it's the best blanket I've ever put on my body. I became very enamored with the warm bath of an opiate. Like that. That to me, that's a. To me, that's a commercial to do it, she recalled. You know, drank a little bit, never to excess. Never any big public demonstrations. I was very quiet, very private about it. But it became a dependence for sure. I mean, that. Okay, the end of that is good. Thank you, Jamie Lee. But the beginning, you know, I drank a little bit, never to excess. Just one glass of wine, and then I'd take a warm bath of an opiate and feel it ooze me away for the rest of my night. It's like, really? Okay, well, just one glass of wine and a. And a pill, and then I'm just, like, melted. I. I could use that on a Wednesday. Not can you make. I think Jamie Lee needs to make this sound less attractive. Curtis has addressed her remorse over getting work done and how it led to an addiction. In the past, I tried plastic surgery. It didn't work. It got me addicted to Vicodin. See, that's how you say it. That's how you say I got addicted to Vicodin. That's like a harsh thing. Don't say it like this. Every now and again, I would dip myself in the warm bath of a. Of a. What did you call it? An opiate. Every now and again, I would melt into a warm bath of an opiate before gently sleeping on a cloud before bedtime. Like that. No, no, you have to say, it got me addicted to Vicodin. That's scary. No more warm bath metaphors. I'm 22 years sober now, thank you. That's the way. That's how you get people out of it. When you show a 22 year sober. I was addicted to Vicodin. That's. That's a scary sentence. Not every now and again, I dip myself into the bathwaters of an opiate and feel myself drifting off to dreamland to wake up, fully rested in the morning, ready for another day. Like, don't do it like that. And then for that reason, I'm out. I don't do it. No. She added the current trend of fillers and procedures in this obsession with filtering and the things that we do to adjust our appearance on Zoom are wiping out generations of beauty. Once you mess with your face, you can't get it back. I agree with that. Once you mess with your face, it's. That's your. That's your new face. And I just don't know how you talk to someone. You can't tell someone how to feel. And I think that's like a. With this body positivity thing, it's like, yeah, yeah. I think the best warning is someone who's mistake made the mistake. I guess this article title interested me because it just sounds so crazy. Like, to me, this is an income inequality title. Scarlett Johansson, Martha Stewart, and slews of socialites come out for Central Park's famed hat lunch. There are people who eat one meal A day. And I don't want to be that guy again. I would hate, I hate me for doing this, but I just have to, I just have to explain. There are people going, I have the hat lunch today. And then there's other people being like if I could just eat one apple. Like hat lunch. And then they show the pictures of the hats. The hats are crazy. Martha Stewart looks good in it. Little Dick Tracy number. I mean what you're going to look bad in. Martha Stewart's beautiful. She's a former model. No one ever says that. Socialite Stars and the sun came out for the famed Frederick Law Olmsted Awards luncheon. What a mouthful on Wednesday where the city's most glamorous women showed off their finest fascinators to raise 4.3 million for Central Park. Okay, shouldn't the park be okay? You can't go to a hat lunch and give the 4.3 million to. Eh, we're gonna put out some nice grass so that you know, a bunch of people can drink in Sheep's Meadow. Like I, I just, I, I don't know. You're, you're the, the douchier your event, the more it should help people. Like if you want to have a hat lunch where everyone looks like Carmen San Diego, let's help. Like, like literally it should be like the money should be just given to like you should just be giving hundred dollar bills to like poor kids. Scarlett Johansson was spotted. Spotted cutting a stylish and low key figure at the event throw by the Central Park Conservative Services, the Central Park Conservancy Conservancies Women's Committee and affectionately known among the elites as the hat Lunch. I mean the hat Charlotte, Charlotte Johansson. Is that her name? Am I, I, I, I can't, I, I mean Scarlet Charlotte. Scarlett Johansson in the black hat over the one eye. She looks like the stepmom from the Parent Trap. She looks beautiful. The red lipstick, I mean this is a look. I mean this is like jaw dropping. How do I mean if I saw. It's Charlotte makes or Charlotte Scarlet Scarlett makes this whole hat lunch worth it. I gotta say. What a look. Mayor Bloomberg was there hatless, so the men don't wear hats. I mean if I, you, if I went, you invite me to this, my hat is gonna be ridiculous. My hat is gonna have to like, they're gonna have to move chairs. People are gonna have to avoid my, if I went to the hat lunch, they would have to avoid my hat like a golf umbrella on a rainy day. You'd Be like, what is going on? What? This guy with this brim is crazy. You'd have to really. You will know my hat is there. How do you go and just not like there's. They're showing a picture. One woman has feathers and like a little antenna on it. This one has a full on bouquet on it. The feather ones I respect the ones that are just like a headband with a thing off the side. Nah, Scarlet wins. I mean, they show socialite Jillian Minetier donned a structural headpiece. This woman went for it. This socialite. This was a big day for her. She wore. I mean, if we can get these pictures, we'll find them. She's wearing what looks like a dream catcher on her head. Yeah. There's another woman. This woman. Socialites. Muffy Potter Aston showed off a pink number to call that. A pink number is under selling. What it is. It looks like. I don't even. She looks like Polly Pocket. She looks like. She was like, give me a Polly Pocket hat now. No, the cupcake girl. Who's the pink cupcake girl? It was like. That was like a kid's thing. This is what she looks like. I'm googling it now and then we got one more story. Oh, man. It was a cartoon. Maybe it's Polly Pocket. It's so tough with the Internet with Page Six. No, I'm not finding it. Maybe. This is quite a hat. This is how I would have done it. This woman, Jean Jean Shafaroff, she is wearing like weeds on her head. It looks like a Chia Pet gone wrong. Like that's a garden that you'd be like, whoa. That guard. They really planted everything. These are the hats you. That's how I would do it. This woman, she just looks like she has. She's an alien with it with antennas. She just wore flowers. So this is crazy. Yeah. Some people went for it. I don't like the headband. That's just like a peacock. I like when they go, you're at the hat lunch. Do the hat lunch. This woman has pointers going out of her head. Just pointers. She's just pointing up. She. She looks like she got hit with a bow and arrow in a Looney Tunes sketch. It's known as one of the social events of the season. I'm looking at this. What a great event to. I would just go and look at the hats. But my hat. You would be. It would be talked about. Jared Freed showed up in a hat that made it so he could only. So people had to be moved from his table. That's what that. That's what the story would be. All right, we'll do one more. This one. Because I didn't even know these people were still a thing. Honey Boo Boo is nervous Mama June will be mad about Lifetime biopic. I didn't hold back. I don't know how old Honey Boo Boo is. I don't know where Mama June is on this planet. For a minute, they were the biggest things in the planet. Like, they were. There was a moment where Honey Boo Boo and Mama June were on this website every five minutes of the day and everything was reported on, and then they kind of went away. I think Mama June had some plastic surgery herself. She lost some weight. How old is. Look at Honey Boo Boo. Look at. She's all grown up. Alana. Honey Boo Boo Thompson admitted she is worried about what her mother, Mama June Shannon, will think of her upcoming Lifetime biopic. I'm a little nervous. I mean, what could. What could Honey Boo Boo say that we already haven't said amongst our group chats about Mama June? Like, what could Honey Boo Boo say about Mama June that we already haven't assumed? Like, what she. I just think unless it's like, bad, bad, you know, stuff like law breaking stuff, we're not going to assume she was, like, the greatest. We weren't saying nice things. I mean, we're laughing. It was. I don't know. It's all uncomfortable now, looking back, you know, this person is now 19, told PEOPLE on Tuesday about the May 17 release of I Was Honey Boo Boo. That was me. I was the one. In which she opens up about what she and her sisters endured as they witnessed their mom spiral and a drug addiction. Yeah, I think, you know, well, I hope the mom is, like, recovering. I didn't. I did not want this movie to be throwing punches at my mama and making her out to be the bad guy, she explained. But I didn't hold back. And if she gets mad at the end of the day, it's the truth. Oh, that means she's gonna be mad. They show her with their mom following her rise to fame on TLC's Toddlers and Tiaras as a young beauty queen, Thompson became the star of her own show, Here Comes Honey Boo Boo in 2012. 2012 feels like yesterday and a thousand years ago. However, what was meant to be a lighthearted series quickly became something more serious when Shannon, now 45, became addicted to crack cocaine. I did no idea on the show. I noticed something was off about her, Thompson remembered. She started locking her doors, which really made me think, oh, what is she doing at that young age? Did she divorce her, her mom? In 2019, Shannon, her boyfriend at the time, Eugene Gino Doak, were arrested and charged with felony possession of drugs. People were like, I saw your mom on the news with a busted tooth strung out. Thompson recalled to the magazine. I'm like, great. Like, I didn't see that, too. Yeah. Shannon later admitted to spending more than 1 million at the height of her addiction, including 35, 000 of Thompson's pay from dancing with the Stars. I here's the problem. This is very sad. And now she's going back to the place from which she came to talk about it. Like, it's, you know, there's. There's some parallels, you know, like, now you have the daughter who is 19, trying to make a living. I'm sure she's. I hope she's got money put away, but, like, going back to the place that, like, started this whole drug addiction for her mom. You hope history doesn't repeat itself, but we'll be watching. So Pop Culture Thursday, back next week, boom.
