Reality television star Lauryn Shannon is earning up to $15,000 a day on OnlyFans with promotional help from her family, she told TMZ.
The 26-year-old influencer, best known as Pumpkin from TLC show Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, revealed that her mother June Shannon and younger sister Alana Thompson actively market her adult subscription page on social media.
Shannon cleared $10,000 on her first day on the platform after joining in early March, and claimed in late April that her total earnings had surpassed $500,000. She added that OnlyFans brought in close to six figures during a single two-week period.
Family support and social media promotion
"My family is super supportive," Shannon told TMZ. "I know that my mama's main goal is to make sure that obviously I make the amount of money that I need to make on exactly what I'm selling."
She explained that June Shannon, known publicly as Mama June, promotes the OnlyFans page whenever she goes live on Instagram.
Her younger sister Alana Thompson, 20, better known as Honey Boo Boo, offers similar assistance during her own live streams.
"She's on live and she's telling people, 'Pumpkin's got a deal going on, half-off subscriptions this week.' So my family, [I'm] super grateful for how involved they are," Shannon said.
Adult film production and subscriber chats
Shannon produces explicit videos alongside her current boyfriend, Darrin Kitchens. The couple currently offers several sex tapes on her OnlyFans profile, priced at around $100 each.
The content creator told TMZ she has girl-on-girl material planned for the future and is open to filming a threesome with Kitchens. Kitchens has since updated his Instagram username to "@pumpkinspimp69".
Speaking on the GWF podcast in April, Shannon admitted she originally wanted to join OnlyFans during the Covid pandemic, but her then-husband Josh Efird strongly opposed the idea. "I just wanna make money, you know what I mean?" she recalled thinking at the time.
On the podcast, Shannon also disclosed that she frequently messages married men on OnlyFans who report being unhappy with their wives. "People judge me for that but at the end, I'm still giving back to my fans," she said.
Strip club performances
Beyond her digital adult work, Shannon has expanded her career into live adult entertainment by dancing at strip clubs nationwide.
She recently completed a performance at Diamonds & Lace in Chattanooga, Tennessee, where audience members threw cash as she twerked wearing a pleated skirt and lace bra. Shannon shared that she earns thousands of dollars per appearance prior to collecting tips.
Marital split and family drama
Shannon filed for divorce from Josh Efird in August 2024 after six years of marriage, with the split finalized one month later in September. The former couple share four children together, and Shannon serves as the legal guardian of her younger sister Alana.
Following the divorce, Shannon began dating Kitchens, who is the non-blood cousin of her ex-husband. The relationship was revealed during a family dinner broadcast on their reality television series Mama June: Family Crisis.
"So, I've been, like, kinda seeing this dude," Shannon said during the episode. "He's been in Josh's family for a long time.... It's his cousin." She emphasized, "They're not blood cousins!" and described Kitchens as "sweet", adding that he "does things for me without me having to ask."
Efird has also moved on, entering a relationship with Breanna Godwin. The couple welcomed a daughter named Sadie in May of last year. The personal developments were documented throughout the eighth season of Mama June: Family Crisis, which concluded its run in May.
Alana Thompson nursing studies
While her family navigates relationship changes and adult media ventures, 20-year-old Alana Thompson remains focused on her higher education.
Thompson is enrolled in a college program in Denver, Colorado, studying to become a pediatric intensive care unit nurse. She is scheduled to graduate next year.
