Because Alana, at age 15, allegedly went to live with boyfriend Dralin Carswell, who would have been at least 19 at the time, if not older.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlana left [Josh\u2019s] house when she was 15 years old!\u201d Justin ranted. \u201cShe lived by herself with Dralin and [his friend] Draco from 15 til now!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With June in apparent agreement, Justin continued, as if lecturing Josh: \u201cSo you didn\u2019t have her this whole time to where it made your whole life fall apart!

Extreme poverty is essentially a generational curse, and not one that money cures overnight.)<\/p>\n<p>Even Lauryn, who some would argue has led a somewhat normal life (relative to her older sisters), became a mom in her late teens. Many of us breathed a sigh of relief when Alana turned 20 without first becoming a parent.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Alana &quot;Honey Boo Boo&quot; Thompson Reveals Her Breaking Point with Mama June &amp; Life After Child Stardom\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bExOXJNI5x8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p>So, whose fault is it that a 15-year-old allegedly lived with her adult boyfriend (which is illegal in Georgia, by the way) in secret?<\/p>\n<p>Lauryn had custody, but that\u2019s complex. Alana and Lauryn are sisters, and while Lauryn had a legal responsibility, we\u2019re talking about siblings who were only about 5 years apart. Siblings who also had zero \u201cnormal\u201d role models for behavior or age milestones while growing up.<\/p>\n<p>Why did Lauryn have custody? Because June was busy getting high with her now ex, Geno Doak, spending 7 figures and losing everything that she\u2019d built for herself in the process.<\/p>\n<p>To be clear, this is also on Dralin, albeit to a limited degree. 19 can feel very close to 15 at the time, but Alana is not the first minor girl whom he is accused of pursuing.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe it\u2019s moot. Alana is an adult now. She is on track to have a much better life than her mother or siblings ever had. Hopefully she\u2019ll exercise better judgment if she ever has kids one day.<\/p>\n<p>Or maybe she\u2019ll deny this whole thing. Justin and June are not exactly reliable source of, well, anything.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async defer src=\"https:\/\/platform.instagram.com\/en_US\/embeds.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehollywoodgossip.com\/2026\/05\/alana-thompson-lived-with-adult-boyfriend-dralin-at-15\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reading Time: 3 minutes Unfortunately, nothing in this messy family\u2019s chaotic story is surprising.
