In April 2015, Lauryn Shannon (then 15 years old) came out as bisexual during an exclusive interview with Inside Edition. "I'm attracted to females, and I'm attracted to males," Lauryn revealed in the sit-down tell-all. "You cannot hide who you truly are."
However, her bisexuality wasn't the only bombshell Lauryn dropped in the interview. She also revealed a pretty major detail about her mother "Mama" June Shannon's sexuality. With her mom sitting next to her, Lauryn exclaimed to the camera, "She's gay, too. June is gay, too!" However, June was quick to correct her daughter, piping in to say, "No — bisexual."
While the interview with Inside Edition was originally intended to center only on Lauryn's big news, the focus quickly shifted to June — whom the turn of events has understandably taken by surprise. Still, the Here Comes Honey Boo Boo matriarch was open to discussing the revelation. When asked about how the majorly conservative community of her Hampton, Ga. hometown would respond to her admission, June didn't appear particularly concerned. "I look at it this way: Haters are gonna hate," the reality star said.
