Alive & Well: Mike Thompson Appears After Death Hoax

Mike Thompson, widely recognized as Honey Boo Boo's father, has surfaced to refute false reports of his death circulating on social media. Contrary to the rumors of a tragic car accident, Thompson appeared in a video captured on Saturday, reassuring the public that he is "alive and well." He is currently living his life day by day in Georgia. These unsubstantiated claims had caused concern among fans and followers.

Thompson shares his daughter Alana Thompson with June "Mama June" Shannon. The couple separated in 2014, and Thompson is reportedly estranged from Alana. Earlier in 2025, Alana had reflected on a 2014 car crash involving her father, questioning if his temper played a role. She told Us Weekly that her father would sometimes let his anger issues get the best of him.

This situation follows a separate car accident Alana Thompson was involved in earlier in 2025. While pulling out of her Colorado residence, she was T-boned by another driver. Alana was unharmed, though her vehicle sustained significant damage. Her mother, Mama June, confirmed Alana was able to recover from the incident.
