Mama June has been forced to defend herself after being criticised for posting on social media amid her daughter's cancer diagnosis.
Anna 'Chickadee' Cardwell was diagnosed with stage 4 adrenal carcinoma back in January, with her mother recently admitting that the family have accepted "it's terminal". Since then, Mama June has taken to Instagram to share a new video with her fans.
In the clip, the 44-year-old reality star spoke about a new deal at an adult boutique. Critics took issue with the post and its X-rated content and made their thoughts known in the comments.
One person wrote: "Worry about your oldest child with cancer dude and not f***ing Instagram or TikTok all that. I know if my adult child had cancer I'd drop everything and be by her side and fighting with her not doing this c**p."

"We speak almost on a daily basis every one of my girls' name where I was that at all times honestly, this is all been hard on all of us and she knows that but if she was really bad off, I mean come on I have common sense we wouldn't be going anywhere I would be right there like we always have every time that she had a chemo treatment me and Justin stay with her for the week I mean literally we all live five minutes away from each other."
She said while she wishes this "wasn't happening to us", the family have dealt with other heartbreaking situations including her own drug addiction. She added: "Life doesn't stop even though some days it feels like I'm living in a dream with all this."

N I needed a break from reality for a minute even though it's in the front of my mind every second of every single day so me posting on social media doesn't mean I don't care or ain't there for her during this so thanks for your optimism but until you walk a day in my shoes U or anyone have any idea what I deal with and struggle with."
Other fans praised the star. One person commented: "She did a video saying that she’s with her all the time. Are you going to begrudge her a few moments of happiness? I am a grieving mom and believe me, when happy moments come I’m thankful for them. Maybe be a little less judgmental."
