Viewers’ outrage as Mama June’s best friend Big Sexy shows off a SWASTIKA tattoo on new show Not to Hot
The premiere of Honey Boo Boo mum's makeover show revealed a character had a VERY offensive inking
EAGLE-EYED viewers of Mama June's new makeover show Not to Hot were left sickened when they noticed one member of the cast showing off a SWASTIKA tattoo.
Michael Mclarty - also known as Big Sexy - gave a glimpse of his unsettling body art as he leaned back to listen to the 37-year-old open up about her new found desire to lose weight on a "revenge diet".
As he commented that he prefers to exercise at home like curly-haired male aerobics teacher Richard Simmons, viewers noticed that he had a Swastika - the symbol of Hitler's Nazi party - on his lower arm.
Closer inspection reveals 'SS' above the Swastika, which looks like the logo of Hitler's Schutzstaffel paramilitary police, who brought terror to Jews an other minorities during his 1934-1945 reign.
Even more disturbingly, when the image is moved around, it appears that the Swastika and SS make up a larger tattoo - that of a DOG.
The SS are inked between the eyebrows of the dog - which appears to be a ferocious Pitbull-type breed - and the Swastika is the ID tag on its collar.
While there is nothing to suggest that Mike is affiliated with or a member of the group, the dog's head bears a striking resemblance to the logo of the Keystone State Skins, one of the US' most active White Supremacist organisations.
Viewers last night hit out channel WeTV for allowing Mike to feature on the show.
One fumed: "@WEtv this dude has a swastika tattooed on his arm and y'all are a ok with blasting it on tv? #mamajune #FromNotToHot."
Another added: "This needs to go viral. @WEtv is paying a nazi with a swastika tattoo. I was going to check this show out. Not anymore #MamaJune."
A similar comment came from this sickened viewer, who said: "Am I the only one that noticed Big Mike's Swastika and SS lightning bolts tattoo??? #MamaJune #WeTv."
She said: “I don’t want Sugar back, but I want him to see how hot I can be. And also show him that I’m not gonna sulk and think about him. I’m better than him.”
Mama June has undergone weight loss surgery to help her shed the pounds, and she is to unveil her new look on WE TV’s new reality series Mama June: From Not To Hot.
She had a gastric sleeve – a less complicated version of a gastric band – fitted and has now shrunk to a US size four – a UK size eight.
After losing the weight, she later underwent further surgeries to remove excess skin and a boob job, according to People.com.
