Mama June boots Crazy Tony

Eccentric 'cousin' clipped from 'Honey Boo Boo' after drunken gorilla stunt

Chances are, if your nickname is "Crazy" Tony Lindsey, you're either part of a mob family or an extended member of TLC's Shannon/Thompson clan. In Lindsey's case, it's the latter, although he won't be appearing on "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" any time soon, thanks to a slight legal snafu in late November. 

Bing: "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" | Mama June

As you may recall, Honey Boo Boo Child's (née Alana Thompson) "cousin" Tony -- Lindsey isn't actually blood-related -- was busted after drunkenly jumping in front of moving cars while outfitted in a gorilla suit, one of them being a police vehicle. This has not apparently sat well with Mama June, who's doing her best to raise and broadcast a respectable Southern family and tells TMZ that Tony is no longer welcome on set.
 
 
"We love him as a friend, but that was a crazy story," she says, adding, "Not trying to be mean, but we want to keep it family oriented." 

For his part, Lindsey responded to TMZ by saying, "TV's changed that family." Well, yeah, it's made them rich, and they don't want you screwing that up, ya big ape.

"Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" airs Sundays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on TLC.

You call farting, belching, noise picking, and all the other stuff they do on that show she has the gall to say that is family oriented.  Give me a break that is plum gross.  If all of Georgia think they are terrible then I guess America should take a look.

Boo ho, Boo ho to Honey (bitter not sweet) Boo Boo the whole show should be booted for the promotion of unhealthy lifestyle she lives.  She is an obese little brat. She needs to get on a Nuturisystems diet.

 

If a parent would do what her parents are doing to her, the Child Protective Team of the State should of seen and removed the child from the household due to the fact the parents are neglecting their daughters health needs.  She is on the fast track to becoming morbidly obese.

Everyone always forgets that the persons who make the decision for this show are folks with MBA degrees in journalism and communications.  The persons who are Accountant for TLC can demostrate on a regular basis that these types of shows generate serious revenues.  TLC is owned by STock holders who do not complain when they see the value of their stock going up or if they get quarterly dividends

 

many times we complain against the characters ON THE SHOW, when in fact there are many persons who are sitting in corner offices who are laughing all the way to the bank regardless of any damage or humiliation or stereotype they are promoting

 

generally as long as it can generate money, it will continue.  Sad to say, as a culture we like this stuff, we support this stuff. in TV only eyeballs count. The type of show really don't matter if the accountant can't show big numbers

 

it is really a statement about our society

 

sad but true

I agree that this stupid show should be banned from TV altogether!  This poor girl, Honey Boo Boo, will have her 15 mins. of fame and then fade into obscurity and no one will remember her.  Then in her teen years, she'll turn to drugs and alcohol and enter rehab.  And who knows if she'll ever be able to lead a normal life after this show.  Don't the parents understand how they are damaging this poor girl in the long run?

Like many others, I cannot even stomach the previews for this show.  I cannot believe TLC even agreed to run this trash.   Please TLC, open your eyes and read the comments.  This show needs to go, quickly..............!!!!!

Why in hell are these morons on TV in the first place. This little girl is the biggest brat ever and her mother has to be related to a Yorkshire pig.

the entire show should be banned from television altogether!!!!  this show is the perfect example of what it is to be the lowest class there possibly is.  the child is rude, vulgar, and disrespectful.....the parents are worse.  and this is what we call "entertainment"?  there is poverty, disease, and countless other things that need this country's attention but yet people waste their time making this ridiculous family famous.  how pitiful!

I saw one commercial for this, and I knew it was garbage. That is what 99% of TV is now. The only thing I watch is the evening news and weather. I had satellite and it was nothing but garbage one channel after another, so I canceled it. I don't even turn on the tv until news time, then turn it off immediately after the news. I can't understand how anyone could think the garbage on tv is worth wasting the time to turn on the TV.

What  a disapointment thought Honey Boo Boo got Booted what a waste of air time but then again when you see who 54% of the nation voted for what do you expect.

When I saw "Honey Boo Boo ban" I thought TLC had come to their senses.  I have never watched the show but the commercials alone make me  think this has to be some of the worst dreck ever.  When television was in its early stages some show were considered "bubblegum for the eyes" I wonder what they would think of this white trash garbage.  Thank God for PBS, there is still some class on TV.

"raise and broadcast a respectable Southern family.." Really ? Seriously ? This unrelated uncle is a drunk, but one related uncle is gay, has HIV and was recently married to his boyfriend....and she is worried about broadcasting a respectable Southern family ??? Guess a real respectable Southern family would be too boring to put on TV.

It used to be that being good looking got you on TV, and people hollered about that ("The Simple Life," "Kardashians"). Now you can be ugly and fat and get on TV, and yet, people are screaming about THAT!  I actually think it's a step UP that you no longer have to have a Golden Ratio face to get on TV. Why isn't anyone screaming about all the MAJOR headlines over the past few days about Kim Kartrashian's (or KardASSians's) baby? And what about all the publicity about the "royal" baby? A baby is a baby is a baby. But dumb people eat this garbage up.

I do think this show - Honey Boo Boo, is a bit "crazy".  Be aware, there are many people who watch this show.  They run it multiple times a week.  Personally, I would rather watch the antics of this family's life, then all the bad language, violence, immorality, cheating, stealing, lying, poor ethics, drugs, crime, and many other negative displays shown on TV, today.  I am sure if any one of us would put our families on display for the whole country to see, we would all have plenty to be ashamed of.  We need to all look in the mirror before criticizing others. We, also, need to remember this is made for TV, so it is dramatized, for effect.  Besides, we are all jealous because this family is getting "rich".
