'They are going to get their show canceled'
A user took to a Reddit thread, recalling how Pumpkin has been bashing 'Mama June' on her live streams, claiming the content to be "fake." The user titled the thread, "Pumpkin exposes the show is fake." To this, a user commented, "They are so dumb, they are going to get their show canceled with their big dumb mouths. Have fun working minimum wage the rest of your lives once this trashy a** show gets canceled." Another made a bet, "I would bet they are getting paid the bare minimum for the show. Reality shows don’t pay a lot in general unless you are a Kardashian or the original Jersey shore people or Teen Mom."
"They sure aren't getting Bravo money," a user speculated. Another wrote, "TLC is notorious for not paying well. Amy and Tammy have said that they really don't make much. I'm guessing WeTV pays even less." "The way she’s being so open and trashing the show in a way by calling some of the stuff fake makes me think she knows or knows something is up with the show. Possible cancellation?" commented a user.
