Welcome to the shit show. Things are going to get weird. It's your fave villain, Kale Lowry. And you're listening to Barely Famous. All right, this week I have such an exciting interview for you guys with Alana on Barely Famous, and you may know her as Honey Boo Boo.
Alana gained national attention at six years old through her participation in TLC's Toddlers and Tiaras, where her vibrant personality and catchphrases stood out. And one of my favorites is everybody's a little gay. Her popularity led to spinoff series Here Comes Honey Boo Boo in 2012, which showcased her family's life in rural Georgia. And I watched a little bit of this.
The show was unfortunately canceled in 2014 due to controversy surrounding her mom, Mama June. And now Alana has grown up and is trying to differentiate herself from the little girl that we all knew and love. She's currently in college and getting her degree, ready to move on from the girl you guys know. And her new biopic, I Was Honey Boo Boo, it's out now.
And we get to see Alana on her own terms in her own way. Alana's new biopic is exclusively on Lifetime, so you guys can go watch that now. And I hope that you guys love this interview as much as I love doing it. Are we rolling? Oh my God. Okay. First of all, welcome back to another episode of Barely Famous Podcast.

Are you mad at me? No, girl, no. I think it was better, honestly, like more for like awareness. I think you may have did that more for like awareness, not like to throw a punch at anybody.
No, it wasn't. It's just because... Not that I think of you as my child, but I have children that have grown up in the public eye, and so I can't put myself in that position as a mom. And so it was more for awareness than it was to throw shots.
Yeah, and I think it's great, because this happens all the time to child stars. So I think your video is great. So, I mean, that's not where I was going to start.
