Mama June Says She Never Saw Her Kids As Paycheck Despite Daughter's Claim

Mama June says she never saw her kids as just a means to make money ... this despite her daughter Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson claiming her love was all about cash in the upcoming "I Was Honey Boo Boo" Lifetime biopic. At one point, she says "I wanted Mama, but her love was only transactional." MJ even flips the script on Honey Boo Boo -- claiming she felt like an ATM for a long time ... both at home and in her romantic and professional relationships. She also says she's "cut off a lot of people throughout the years" because they saw her as their personal wallet. Mama June tells TMZ she's worked hard on herself over the last several years, including addressing her cocaine addiction.
