KEY POINTS

  • Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson announced that she's suing Boston Market
  • The reality star alleged that the restaurant chain "burned" her and her family for $8,500
  • She encouraged her fans to call out the company on TikTok

Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson broke her silence on her family's canceled meet-and-greet tour.

The "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" alum, 17, took to Instagram this weekend to share with her fans the reason why they will no longer move forward with their scheduled fan event in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, later this month.

Honey Boo Boo shared a photo of her family, sans Mama June Shannon, from their Hollywood trip in July and accompanied it with a lengthy message explaining why they have decided to sue Boston Market, the restaurant chain providing them with venues for their meet and greets.

"As you all know, we did a meet and greet at Boston Market in Atlanta, and the owner ... burned me, my family and my manager after we brought over 200 people to Boston Market," she alleged.

The TV personality went on to claim, "Unfollow them and don't support them, they screw kids over. We have retained an attorney, and he has ignored the attorney, so now we're suing. #BostonMarketRIPSOffKids."

Thompson also encouraged her fans and followers to call out the company on its TikTok.

"@bostonmarket turned OFF their comments to ignore they owe us money. Unfollow their TikTok and comment [there] — they can't turn those off. #justiceforbooboo," she wrote.

Boston Market has not issued a statement in response to Thompson's allegations as of this writing.

Fans quickly reacted in disbelief to Thompson's shocking post. Many couldn't believe what had happened, and they voiced their support for the former "Toddlers & Tiaras" star.

"Oh wow!!!! That's horrible! And I was going to eat there finally because [you] had been advertising ... now I won't," one wrote.

"No more Boston Market for me! I'm sorry that they did your family wrong! Hopefully, karma gets them," another added.

When one fan brought up their next meet and greet in Fort Lauderdale, also scheduled to take place at a local Boston Market branch, Honey Boo Boo confirmed that they canceled the event due to the incident.

"Oh man! Sorry to hear! I was looking forward to seeing you in Ft. Lauderdale," the fan commented.

"Had to cancel because they won't pay," Mama June's youngest daughter responded.

Before breaking her silence, some fans speculated that the reality TV stars decided to cancel the Florida stop on their summer tour because of Thompson's planned weight loss surgery.

As previously reported, Thompson and her manager, Gina Rodriguez, confirmed that the teen would be heading to Queens, New York, in late August for the medical procedure. There hasn't been any update regarding the operation since.
