Pumpkin explained of her decision to meet her troubled mother: “I am going to call Mama and set up a meeting just me and her. Maybe that will make her realize what this situation has caused everybody.
"If she agrees to meet with me, I want to sit with her and offer her one more f**king chance to give her the help she needs. She’s going to look at me in my face and listen to what I have to say or that’s it, I’m done. I literally will never have contact with her ever again.”
The pair arranged to meet but when the production team picked up Mama June for the reunion, fans were shocked by her appearance, as she looked disheveled missing teeth and hair.
A crew member asked June where her “bling” was, as she’s known for wearing jewelry.
Mama June reportedly pawned a diamond ring for $1,500 last year.

Mama June said: “Back when s**t was like, hard, yeah we went and had it pawned and stuff. I coulda sell everything too, my bracelets, and all of that s*** that means something.”
When she arrived to the office to meet Pumpkin,
She told him: “I’m doing fine, why wouldn’t I be? I’ve been a lot better than I have been. Doin’ what I need to do. My anxiety has been up a little bit. Having to take Xanax from time to time. But outside of that, I haven’t took anything.
“The only thing that I took last night was Fioricet. But I take 'em because it’s migraine headaches. And I’ve had a migraine headache ‘cause I was so upset, just to be able to kinda ease my, ease it down.”
She insisted she wasn’t on any other drugs and that it’s been “a couple months” since she used.
