TLC reality star Honey Boo Boo and her family were injured in a car crash Monday evening. Family patriarch Sugar Bear was turning left at an intersection when a driver — allegedly speeding in the opposite direction with his lights off — rammed into the family’s SUV.
Everyone in the vehicle was taken to the hospital: Sugar Bear suffered a contusion on his back, Mama June sprained her back and neck, Honey Boo Boo hit her head on the window and Pumpkin had severe chest bruises.
It feels weird to type a serious sentence that includes so many cartoonish names. Thankfully, they were all okay in the end, so joke-making can commence. Here’s a statement obtained by Entertainment Weekly:
“As many of you have heard we were in a car accident last night. It was really scary for us, since it was the first time any of us had ever been in a wreck. We are definitely really sore today, but our top priority is to celebrate Pumpkin’s birthday. She turned 14 today and no matter how sore we feel we are going to go out and celebrate. As always we want to thank everyone for their support and well wishes.”
Happy days are here again.

Please stop writing about these terrible people.
That .gif will now haunt my nightmares for all eternity.
So since they’re OK, we can say things like “Well, of course they’re ok, they all have built-in cushioning!” And “It was like that time I saw a truckload of bean-bag chairs spill out on the highway!” And, “Well, I guess the other driver didn’t hear them screaming HERE COMES HONEY BOO-BOO, GET OFF THE ROAD!”
Such a tragedy. Why do things like this happen to such delightful and beautiful people?
Honey boo boo family wounded in a car accident? Proof there is a just and loving God.
No, God wasn’t listening at all. I said I wanted it to be a TRAIN WRECK. Much higher fatality rate.
Damn, back to waiting for diabetes to kill off this family…
That GIF. So much for resolving to cut down on the booze.
WTF God? They live and Paul Walker dies? This is why people become Scientologists.
I’ve only caught one or two episodes of this show but honestly they seem like a loving family that found a way to make sure that their futures were secure.
I get that they aren’t classy by any stretch but I don’t understand the hate.
Nice try
As much as the show sucks, Gimpy is right about securing their future.
“The family makes about $15,000 to $20,000 per episode, and instead of squandering the money, Mama June has put it into a trust fund for her four daughters and granddaughter. The only way they can withdraw money from the accounts before they’re 21 is for schooling or medical emergencies.”
Good for her. Doesn’t change the fact she feeds her kids red bull & mtn dew at pageants.
I just can’t get over the fact that Mama June is like, 34 or something? She looks primordial.
I think if they had died, the internet would have found a way to make fun of them.
I’m with Jasper Johns on this.
