'He's like, I want to go to get sympathy. No, I don't,' she insists, telling a producer named Moriah that she wants to continue filming the show. 'I don't want to go.'
'June nobody thinks this. None of it matters,' Moriah assures her. 'Just make sure you're okay. This is not normal for your hand to be like that. We'll get you checked out. We'll all move on.'
Mama June's daughter Lauryn 'Pumpkin' Shannon and sister Joanne 'Doe Doe' Shannon sat down with Moriah to discuss the footage after it was filmed.
Pumpkin, 19, says her social media accounts have been 'blowing up' with people asking why her mother wouldn't just go see a doctor and get help.
'I really don't know why,' she admits. 'I guess it's because, you know, she's scared of reality.'

'I've lost myself completely, and I know that,' Mama June admits. 'I've lost who I am. I've lost who I was about. I mean, I don't wanna get up out of bed. I don't wanna get my hair done. I don't wanna do my nails.
'I just can't handle life right now,' she adds. 'Because honestly I just don't want to face the world because I'm hating who I am right now.'

Inseparable: Mama June and Geno reportedly defied a judge's orders to stay away from each other and checked back into the Wind Creek Montgomery casino in Alabama this month
Geno was ordered to stay away from Mama due to his third-degree domestic violence charge stemming from their arrest in March.
However, their now-former attorney argued that Mama June wanted the court to lift the order because it was all a 'misunderstanding' and she depends on Geno because 'she is partially blind,' TMZ reported in March.
The couple reportedly checked back into their favorite casino, the Wind Creek Montgomery, in Alabama earlier this month, according to The Blast.
'The two had been staying at the casino for some time but had checked out and moved to a different spot, until coming back today,' a source said.
'They have been gambling and playing the slots all morning and talking to friends they made on the floor.'
Earlier this month, TMZ reported that their lawyer George B. Bulls II filed a request to be taken off the case after making several attempts to contact them with no avail.
He claimed their refusal to speak with them means they've 'failed to comply' with their attorney/client agreement and the judge signed off on him being removed as their lawyer.
