Don't call Alana Thompson "Honey Boo Boo"

Teen Vogue

The former Here Comes Honey Boo Boo star, who turns 16 later this month, says she avoids the name that made her famous on TLC's Toddlers & Tiaras and her own reality show. “My mama did not name me Honey Boo Boo. My name is Alana,” she tells Teen Vogue, adding that she won't stand for people calling her Honey Boo, especially potential friends. “To be honest, I do not have many friends. At all,” Thompson says, remarking that her only friend is probably her boyfriend. “Because I feel like folks are so much like, 'Oh, my God, I'm friends with Honey Boo Boo,'” she adds. “I don't trust nobody really, so I don't have friends.”
