Former ‘Here Comes Honey Boo Boo’ Star Chickadee Is Having a Rough 2017


It looks like 2017 isn’t Anna “Chicakdee” Cardwell‘s year.

Not only is the former Here Comes Honey Boo Boo star is still estranged from her mother, Mama June Shannon — but she’s also still estranged from her husband, Michael Cardwell after their split back in April.

The 22-year-old took to Instagram to share a selfie showing off her latest hair color, but she got extremely candid with her followers in the caption.

“My life has been having a lot of downs,” the mom-of-two wrote. “It’s about time I need to get some ups.”

Fans left messages of encouragement in the comments section, and one fan wrote, “Everything will fall in place…the ‘downs’ don’t last forever.”

Earlier this spring, she moved out of the home she shared with Michael in Alabama back to McIntyre, GA with her former stepfather Mike “Sugar Bear” Thompson and his new wife Jennifer Lamb and according to Radar Online, her separation from Michael is only temporary.

“It’s just a lot on both of us and [we] have a lot to think about. But this is only temporary right now. I love him and always will no matter where this goes,” she allegedly wrote on her personal Facebook page at the time.

But even though Anna is living a lot closer to her mother and her younger sisters Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson, Lauryn “Pumpkin” Shannon, and Jessica “Chubbs” Shannon, it doesn’t seem like she’s spent time with any of her estranged family members in the past two months.
