'She did it for fame': Mama June's estranged daughter Anna 'Chickadee' Cardwell says the reality icon lost weight only to get another TV show
'Mama June' Shannon has lost over 200 pounds since undergoing weight loss surgery last year
And now, her estranged daughter Anna 'Chickadee' Cardwell is accusing the 37-year-old reality star of only getting surgery to garner more fame.
The 22-year-old former Here Comes Honey Boo Boo told E! News: 'I think she did it just to be more famous. I don't think she did it just for her because she never mentioned anything ever before about getting plastic surgery.'

The mother-of-two theorized that her mother's manager encouraged her to do the surgery for Mama June: From Not To Hot, because the manager had previously offered the same opportunity to Chickadee.
Anna went on to say that the manager tempted her by telling her it would 'get her out there' and give her another opportunity for fame after she left the TLC reality show.
'I think Mama did get herself out there to get another show. That's my opinion on that,' the former reality star divulged. 'I don't think she did it or anything for herself. If she would have done it for herself, she would have tried to lose the weight a long time ago.'

Caldwell confessed that she would want her own reality show, but would not go as far as getting plastic surgery to land one.
'Everybody wants me to get my own show anyways regardless of getting anything done. I doubt it's going to happen, but it would be nice.'
Despite her distant relationship with her family, Anna admits she misses being on the show.
'I miss being on film, miss being on TV. I miss it for the money and I miss it for, you know, getting out there - for people just to see my story and stuff like that,' she said.
Anna - who was raised by her grandmother for most of her life - and Mama June's relationship is on the rocks largely due to money.

The doting mom said that Mama June owes both her and her daughter Kaitlyn 'half a million dollars' for filming the reality show, which was cancelled in 2014.
Speaking of her relationship with her mother and sisters, Anna revealed: 'None of them have called me, texted me or anything like that. I can give two craps about them. They don't give two craps about me, so why give two craps about them?
'I mean, yeah, I care about them, they are my sisters...I may not love them like I am supposed to, but I mean, hell, they don't love me or care about me like they are supposed to.'
