'Honey Boo Boo' Pay Increase: TLC Stars Reportedly Want Big Salary Raise For Season 2

Seven-year-old pageant star Alana Thompson and her family are allegedly in talks to return for another season of the TLC reality show, but want to renegotiate, according to The Hollywood Reporter. "Honey Boo Boo" and family is reportedly asking for a pay raise, bumping up their salary to $10,000 per episode.

THR reported that the "Honey Boo Boo" stars will likely snag an $8,000-per-episode salary after negotiations with the network conclude.

The magazine previously reported that the "Honey Boo Boo" family was earning between $2,000 and $4,000 per episode, totaling $40,000 for the 10-episode season. However, June Shannon, known on the show as "Mama June," laughed at the report and made it clear to TMZ that she and her family are already making much more.
