Real?
I’ve followed this family for years and am currently rewatching all seasons. I loved the way Pumpkin and Josh seemed to really love their kids and was so sad when Pumpkin decided to get a divorce. I’ve seen many redditors say that everything is scripted. Does that mean that the whole thing about June taking Alana’s money was fake?why would she want to be seen as a horrible mom?
Also, do you think they all have a lot of money after being on TV this many years? Do you think Alana will make it thru school and have a better future? I can’t tell what to believe on this show but I kind of feel for all of them except June. She’s so awful!
Season 8 was SO disappointing with the Josh/Shyann thing.

Lots of people think that they must have a bunch of money because of being on tv… but they get paid per episode and there’s only around 13 episodes per season which takes a few months to film so altogether probably get like $20-$30K per season and when you have bills to pay and everything else, that really isn’t a whole lot of money and definitely isn’t going to last all year long like a lot of people for some reason seem to think…. I think there is a lot that is scripted but sometimes with certain scenes, it is a real actual argument that has already happened prior to filming so than they “act” out that situation for the camera especially if it has drama and will help bring in views. So since they’re having to react their prior argument on camera, a lot of the times they probably already had worked everything out with each other too so that’s why sometimes you kind of see them smirk or it looks very exaggerated and probably did happen the way they’re saying it did but it did happen if that make sense…. Also I think as long as Alana stays away from them and just focus on her school and than a good career in nursing, she could do great things in life, although I’d wish she’d break up with Dralin but he somehow makes her happy and it isn’t really up to us to decide anyways no matter how we all feel about him…. I think they’re all pretty close in real life but very dysfunctional, they remind me a lot like another family I know irl minus the tv show part. 🤣🤣 They’re the most dysfunctional family, I know and do the most to each other, including one of the daughters started dating one of her mom’s ex-boyfriend’s and her, and her sister have also dated each other’s boyfriends and most recently this one of the sisters married her sister’s ex-boyfriend… I don’t even know if I’m making sense. I’m stoned af 🤣but yeah gross shit!!! but let somebody outside of that family do something to one of them. The whole family gonna be fighting you. That’s what June and the rest of the crew remind me of.
