June Shannon has broken her silence on her daughter Lauryn "Pumpkin" Efird's decision to pursue a career in sex work and become an OnlyFans creator.
Speaking to TMZ, June said she supports the mom of four's choice to film hardcore pornography following her 2024 divorce from Josh Efird.
June warned that "all money ain't good money," but said she hopes her daughter is making "more than $10,000" selling explicit content online.
She expressed concerns that Efird's four children "could eventually come across their mom's content when they're older."
Daily Mail has contacted Efird and June for comment.
Filming content with Darrin Kitchens
Efird, 26, is currently filming raunchy content with her new boyfriend Darrin Kitchens, who is her ex-husband's cousin.
In an interview with the GWF podcast in April, Efird said she wanted to start an OnlyFans account during the Covid pandemic, but Josh was against it.
"I just wanna make money, you know what I mean?" she said.
Following her divorce in 2024, she started a relationship with Kitchens and the pair began filming sex tapes, which sell for around $100 each on her OnlyFans page.
The reality star told TMZ she has "girl-on-girl" content planned and may film a threesome with Kitchens.
She told the podcast she sometimes chats on the platform with married men who are 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 appearances and earnings
Efird has also started performing at strip clubs across the country.
She recently twerked in a skimpy pleated and lace bra at Diamonds & Lace in Chattanooga, Tennessee, where patrons threw money at her.
She told TMZ her OnlyFans account earned her close to six figures in just two weeks.
She has admitted to earning thousands of dollars for her strip club gigs, before tips.
Efird filed for divorce in August 2024 after six years of marriage, and it was finalized a month later.
She and Josh have four children together, and Efird is the legal guardian of her younger sister Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson.
Reality show family drama
During an episode of Mama June: Family Crisis last year, Efird told her family at a dinner that she had moved on with Kitchens.
"So, I've been, like, kinda seeing this dude," she said. "He's been in Josh's family for a long time... It's his cousin."
She quickly clarified that they are related through Josh's stepfather and are not blood cousins.
June was stunned by the news.
"Why in the world? The divorce ain't even dried on the ink yet!" June said.
Efird defended the romance to her friend Paisley.
"But they're not blood cousins!" she said. "I've known him for a really long time. We were friends back in school, and then, he messaged me on social media. We've just kind of been talking, and it's kind of nice."
She described Kitchens as "sweet" and said he "does things for me without me having to ask."
Kitchens has since changed his Instagram username to @pumpkinspimp69.
New relationships and education
Josh Efird has started a relationship with Breanna Godwin. The pair welcomed a daughter named Sadie in May of last year.
The family drama played out on the eighth season of the Mama June reality show, which wrapped in May.
Meanwhile, 20-year-old Thompson has been focused on her education.
She is studying in Denver to become a pediatric intensive care unit nurse and is due to graduate college next year.
