TLC has officially canceled their ratings hit Here Comes Honey Boo Boo due to rumors that the family’s matriarch, June “Mama June” Summers, was dating a convicted child molester.

Yesterday, TMZ released a photo of Mama June and recently-released convict Mark McDaniel in a hotel room together, along with reports that the two of them had resumed a relationship that began and ended ten years ago, when McDaniel was convicted of aggravated child molestation in — specifically, “forcing oral sex on an 8 year old” relative of Mama June — and sent to serve a ten-year prison sentence in 2004.

Mama June herself was recently divorced from Mike “Sugar Bear” Thompson, a former cast member on the show and the biological father of Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thomspon.
