June Shannon Tests Positive for Cocaine, Breaks All the Way Down

June 14, 2020

Mama June Shannon was finally forced to see the truth on Friday night, June 12.

And, we observers have easily seen over the past several months, the truth about this long-time reality star is quite ugly and unfortunate.

The latest installment of Mama June: Family Crisis picked up right where the June 5 one concluded, showing what happened when Pumpkin and her mom met for the first time in many weeks.

At the outset of the episode, June insisted she was three months sober, and later said both she and boyfriend Geno Doak were "clean," despite reports to the contrary.

Confident in her status, June agreed to take a drug test.

But the results didn't turn out in her favor.

Yes, June confessed ahead of time, she takes Fioricet, a prescription pain medicine used to treat the symptoms of tension headache.

And also Xanax, a benzodiazepine medication used to treat anxiety and panic disorders.

But then the urine test came back positive for cocaine -- which is the controlled substance for which Shannon was arrested back in March of 2019 -- and Mama June simply lost it.

Big time.

“No, I promise you I’m not,” she said of being on this hard drug, adding in tears:

“I will take a blood test, I will take five of those. I want to take a blood test to prove that I am not."

Dr. Ish tried to calm Shannon down, telling her that sometimes ingesting too much cough medicine can lead to a positive cocaine test.

He sent the blood tests to a lab... and they later determined that this was actually the case. Surprising, right?

“I really thought I was going to be mad if mama’s drug test come back positive,” her daughter, Lauryn, said in response to the ordeal.

“But mama's reaction is showing me that she is basically crying for help."

After nearly a year of ignoring her family and begging for money and focusing entirely on her relationship with Doak, June has sounded more open of late to reconnecting with her kids.

If they're up for it, that is.

On this episode, Shannon agreed to follow Pumpkin's list of things she had to do to stay in contact with her family.

First, she would have to get a phone.

Second, she would have to also take a drug test every week to prove she's clean and sober.

Third, Pumpkin wanted her mom to go to an in-patient rehab facility... and Shannon agreed to everything except for going this rule.

Instead, she agreed to do an out-patient rehab program to keep her "freedom" intact, a compromise to which child and parent agreed, as Lauryn even drove her mother to her first treatment on air.
