Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson's biopic reveals her struggles with fame, emotional neglect and her mother's drug addiction.

"Mama told me over and over again how important I was to her, and I loved being her little moneymaker. It made me feel special. This was our thing, and I finally gave her something no one else could." Stephanie Giang-Paunon is an Entertainment Writer for Fox News Digital.
