Further showing how bad things got, Mama June shared: "I went back home in July. ... My power was off, my water was off.
"But do you think I cared about that? No."
SPIRALING
She went on: "I got my production company to turn back on the power, to turn back on the water and the lights.
"I started selling s**t out of my house."
Mama June recalled trying to sell "everything," including her refrigerator, clothing, lights, paintings and more.
She said: "I just needed the money because at that time, I was totally broken."
To make matters worse, cameras were rolling and, according to Mama June, "Geno was using behind my back."
Mama June and Geno's drug use ramped up.
She reached a point, she said, where she "was spending, like, $250,000" on drugs in a matter of months.
Mama June claimed during her live that Geno was using drugs intravenously, or via needle.
She claimed that he left needles around her home, which daughter Pumpkin found.
It was at that point that she had younger sister Alana – better known as Honey Boo Boo – removed from the household.
The siblings continue to live together to this day, though they see Mama June often.
THE ARREST
Mama June and Geno were arrested in March 2019.
She had been filming Mama June: From Not to Hot at the time, and production – as well as her family members – had become aware of her addiction struggles.
They staged an intervention, which was filmed, and tried to get Mama June back on the straight and narrow.
She and Geno both entered rehab in the season four finale.
As a result of their joint arrest, Geno was sentenced to jail time.
Mama June got off without serving time and has since committed her life to helping others.
NEW BOO
After calling it quits with Geno, Mama June has moved on.
She's now in a relationship with a younger man, called Justin Stroud.
The pair packed on the PDA amid a recent trip to California.
Mama June was seen hand-feeding her beau and walking hand-in-hand with him.
The Sun previously reported that Justin has a warrant out for his arrest.
