After living with her grandmother for several years, Anna moved back in with her mum in 2012, but their reunion didn't last. The mother-daughter duo had been estranged for six years before reuniting earlier this year.
Anna and June have had a strained relationship ever since Anna left the family home in 2003 and moved in with her grandmother. She alleged that she had been assaulted by her mother's then-boyfriend, registered sex offender Mark McDaniel.

"A week or so after it happened, I talked to Mama and she was upset, crying and saying, 'I don't believe you, I don't believe you, why would you do this to me?'" Anna told People in 2014.
Anna told her mum what McDaniel had done and said: "I can't do anything about it. You were never there to see it. You were always at work." After living with her grandmother for nine years, Anna returned to her mum's home in 2012 ahead of the premiere for Here Comes Honey Boo Boo. At the time, she explained they realised they needed to "put this behind us" and get their relationship back on track.
