Mama June Shannon Goes to Hospital for 'Severe Pain' Hours After Psychic Told Her She 'May Have a Heart Attack'
A psychic told the 45-year-old that she's "lost a lot of her health' on the July 25 episode of 'Mama June: Family Crisis' Mama June Shannon is in the hospital just shortly after a psychic warned her about future health troubles. On the July 25 episode of Mama June: Family Crisis, the 45-year-old met with a psychic with daughter Jessica Shannon and husband Justin Stroud for Jessica's bachelorette party. During the session, the psychic told June that she's "lost a lot of her health' and is carrying a lot of stress, which isn't good. The psychic added that she "may have a heart attack" because of it. Justin suggests taking June to the hospital but she refuses. But as the pain continued, she said she feels like she's "about to throw up" and a producer agrees that they should go get medical attention. 'It is way worse than it has ever been,' June said as they got in the car to go to the emergency room. Doctors later "determined that ovarian cysts are causing her severe pain" and June is now 'considering her treatment options.' Ovarian cysts are common; the Mayo Clinic states that "many women have ovarian cysts at some time," and most "present little or no discomfort and are harmless."

Mama June blindsided by Pumpkin dating her ex-husband's cousin as fans slam the romance
Mama June was left reeling over a bombshell she never saw coming — her daughter Lauryn 'Pumpkin' Efird has a new man in her life, and he just so happens to be the cousin of her ex-husband. In the latest episode of Mama June: Family Crisis, Pumpkin — who filed for divorce from Josh Efird in August 2024 after six years of marriage — dropped the shocking update over a family dinner, revealing she's now dating Josh's cousin, Darrin Kitchens. 'So, I've been, like, kinda seeing this dude,' she begins, per People. 'He's been in Josh's family for a long time…. It's his cousin.' The 28-year-old mom of four, who shares all her kids with Josh, was quick to clarify, 'They're not blood cousins.' But that didn't stop Mama June from reacting in classic June fashion, snapping, 'Why in the world? The divorce ain't even dried on the ink yet.' June admitted she needed time to 'process' the jaw-dropping reveal — but fans online didn't hold back. In the latest episode of Mama June: Family Crisis, Pumpkin — who filed for divorce from Josh Efird in August 2024 after six years of marriage — dropped the shocking update over a family dinner, revealing she's now dating Josh's cousin, Darrin Kitchens 'The fact that it was Josh's cousin is so trashy,' one critic wrote on Reddit, echoing the stunned sentiment sweeping social media. Another added, 'It's so trashy.' One fan offered a hilarious recap — and coined a new nickname in the process: 'The story we got here is she went to a funeral for Josh's family member and met his cousin then started a romantic relationship with him. Josh was replaced by his own cousin. This is why we call the new man Cusbin.' In the episode, Pumpkin stood her ground, continuing to defend her unexpected new romance despite the mounting backlash. 'But they're not blood cousins!' she told to her friend Paisley, explaining that Darrin is related to Josh's stepfather. 'I've known him for a really long time. We were friends back in school, and then, he messaged me on social media,' Lauryn dished. 'We've just kind of been talking, and it's kind of nice.' 'I've known him for a really long time. We were friends back in school, and then, he messaged me on social media,' Lauryn dished. 'We've just kind of been talking, and it's kind of nice.' Lauryn described Darrin as 'sweet' and said he 'does things for me without me having to ask.' She made a point to tell Paisley that he has 'no criminal record,' unlike her mother Mama June and her past romantic suitors. And the longtime reality star said she hadn't 'really told anybody' about her boyfriend's identity because 'it's going to be awkward for other people.' Before spilling the details of her new romance she asked that Paisley not tell anyone because she hoped to avoid 'drama.' Paisley comforted Pumpkin by saying that her situation is not 'weird,' but 'maybe just a little complicated.' She then asked Lauryn if she plans to tell her ex-husband, suggesting that she should. The mom-of-four — who shares Ella, seven, Bentley, four, and twins Sylus and Stella, three, with her ex — noted, 'I just feel like there's a lot more to discuss with him than my dating life. I don't know if we're quite there yet.'

Lauryn 'Pumpkin' Shannon Prepares to Drop Bombshell That Her New Boyfriend Is Ex-Husband Josh's Cousin: 'Gonna Be Awkward'
Lauryn "Pumpkin" Shannon revealed details about her secret new romance on Mama June: Family Crisis While in conversation with her friend and colleague Paisley, Lauryn revealed that she was dating Darin — a man who happens to be the cousin of her now-ex-husband, Josh Efrid "But they're not blood cousins!" Lauryn said Mama June: Family Crisis. Lauryn "Pumpkin" Shannon has some big news that she's been hiding from her family — and former husband Josh Efrid. On this week's episode of Mama June: Family Crisis, airing on Friday, July 11, Lauryn opened up about her new relationship for the first time to her friend and colleague Paisley. But before doing so, Lauryn asked that Paisley not "tell nobody" what was going on because she doesn't want "drama." "I've known him for a really long time. We were friends back in school, and then, he messaged me on social media," Lauryn, 25, began. "We've just kind of been talking, and it's kind of nice." Noting that the mystery man is "sweet" and "does things for me without me having to ask," Lauryn also said the duo will also "go places" and she'll "do things I've never really done before." She then revealed that "his name is Darin," adding that he has "no" criminal record, which is something she later told the cameras she's "learned the hard way" from her mom June Shannon's dating past. "The only reason I haven't really told anybody is just because it's, like, a little... It's not awkward for me. I just think it's going to be awkward for other people," Lauryn continued. "Why?" asked Paisley and Lauryn responded, "Um, because ... Darin and Josh, they're cousins." "But they're not blood cousins!" added Lauryn, who explained that Darin "is related to Josh's stepfather, which Josh's stepdad is like a father to him, but there's no blood running." As Lauryn asked if it was "weird," Paisley suggested it's "maybe just a little complicated." Paisley then asked if she planned to "tell Josh," which Lauryn was against at the time. The PEOPLE Puzzler crossword is here! How quickly can you solve it? Play now! "I just feel like there's a lot more to discuss with him than my dating life," Lauryn said. "I don't know if we're quite there yet. I mean, do you think I should?" "For sure," Paisley concluded. The next day, Lauryn arrived at the warehouse and informed Paisley about her "cool" romance-filled evening. "It's fun. I think that we have a good time together, and we laugh, but I don't want to rush into anything because I feel like I did that with Josh," the mother of four shared. Given that she has "been tied down for 10 years," Lauryn said she was only interested in having "fun." She also explained how they've made their blossoming relationship work in secret thus far. "Honestly, though, we go out to eat and go out of town to eat, or get it to go and eat back at the house or whatever," she revealed to which Paisley responded, "Well, it is a small town." "That's what I'm saying, everybody be talking. I hate it. Everybody's in your business," Lauryn added. "I can't keep it on the down-low forever. What am I gonna do? Just never go out to eat, never go out on a date?" Because of this, Lauryn believed she had allowed "other people control my life" since she was unable to be forthcoming about her new relationship. Paisley pointed out that it will be "worse" if Josh found out about the new romance from "somebody else before he finds out from you," leading Lauryn to add: "What do I even say, Paisley?" "Me and Josh are going to make the divorce final," Lauryn said while getting ready to head out to do just that. "I am ready to be free from my marriage. For me, that like being able to do what I want to do, going and hanging out with my friends. Like, I am okay. So, let's just hope that we can be done with this part." Sitting in his car outside the lawyer's office, Josh called this the "hardest day of my life." "Leaving something I thought I'd have for the rest of my life is not the best feeling in the world," he continued. "These times have been super tough on me, and I'm sure it's vice versa in some weird way for her too, but I really don't want to go in here and sign these papers, if we're being honest." Josh was then shown waiting on the steps for Lauryn. As she approached, he asked if she was "sure" she wanted to end their marriage for good. To that, she said, "Yeah, you know, I think it's probably what's best." The pair entered their lawyer's office together to sign the paperwork for their divorce. It was a quick process, which was completed with a stamp from a notary. But before they left, their lawyer had asked Lauryn if she wanted her "maiden name back" or if she wanted to "keep it Efrid." "Um, I'll probably take my name back," Lauryn said after a brief pause, leaving Josh to have an adverse reaction. The former couple exited the office together. On their way out, Lauryn asked if Josh was "good" and if he needed to "talk about anything." In response, Josh said: "You know, I really don't think I have anything else to talk about today, Ms. Shannon." is now available in the Apple App Store!
