On tonight's WeTV finale of Mama June: Road to Redemption, June, 41, beamed as she walked out of the courthouse and delivered the good news to daughters Alana Thompson and Lauryn Shannon.

The matriarch explained: “The judge wasn’t taking no s**t.

"But I’m not going to jail! I told y’all Mama June was not going to jail!"

She then explained: "When you turn your life around, people see that and want to be positivity and give you another chance.

"June ain’t going to the slammer! I am still getting punished though.

"I got 100 hours of community service,” she said to her daughters who laughed at the though of her mom’s community service. 

Her boyfriend, Geno’s case is still not settled as he has prior charges so there’s still a chance he can go to jail at a future hearing.

June has agreed to a list of provisions, including random drug screens and random searches of her car, home and possessions,  reported.

The star cannot use alcohol or drugs or visit places where they are used and sold, such as restaurants or bars.

The reality star must also remain employed, go to counselling, complete 100 hours of community service and be under court supervision for a year.

If June complies with the provisions, all charges against her will be dismissed.

If she doesn’t, then the case will go to trial.

Back in March 2019, June was arrested on drug possession charges, including possession of a controlled substance and drug paraphernalia charges in Alabama.

She was arrested with her boyfriend Geno Doak, who was charged with third-degree domestic violence, possession of a controlled substance, and possession of drug paraphernalia.

The couple each allegedly had crack cocaine and a crack pipe on them.

June and Geno were arrested at a gas station after someone called the police to report a domestic incident between the two.

She estimated that she has spent $900,000 in a year on drugs.

They both entered rehab on the season four finale of reality TV show, Mama June: From Not to Hot.
