This rift has innocents caught within the center
On Monday, March 16, Mama June and a number of different family put Michael Cardwell and his spouse, London Smith, on blast.
In 2023, Anna Cardwell died on the age of 29. She left behind two younger daughters, Kaitlyn and Kylee. The ladies are half-sisters, with completely different fathers.
Kylee went to reside along with her father. Kaitlyn, nevertheless, went to reside with June — that means a separation from her sister. June and Michael had an entire custody battle about it.
Each Kaitlyn and Anna had thought of Michael to be Kaitlyn’s father. The courts, nevertheless, don’t see it that method.
Earlier this month, Kaitlyn — who’s now 13 — informed Leisure Tonight that’s has been over a yr since she noticed her youthful sister.
Following the interview, June strengthened her current assist for Kaitlyn.
She took to TikTok to clarify that Kaitlyn is expressing “her personal ideas” and “her personal emotions.”
(In different phrases, refuting any assumptions that Kaitlyn is simply taking part in together with a household narrative, for actuality TV drama or no matter.)
In response to June, she has repeatedly put aside variations with Michael, even when he and London moved to Alabama after they married in 2024.
“I’m not obligated to any-f–king-body however these youngsters, which is Kylee and Kaitlyn,” June asserted. “They’re my blood!”

Everybody has SO a lot to say on the subject
On Monday, March 16, Lauryn Shannon expanded upon the subject in a prolonged Fb publish.
She alleged that she and the remainder of her household have “tried every little thing” to contact Kylee, having been unable to see her in nearly two years.
She alleged that they’ve been “pushed out” by the couple, regardless of guarantees on the contrary.
“Each time they arrive to [Georgia] they anticipate Kaitlyn to have the ability to go to with them however by no means Kylee to go to with us,” Lauryn accused. “It’s on their phrases and situations.”
“ANNA DIDN’T ASK FOR THIS!!” Lauryn went on to put in writing. “SHE WANTED THE GIRLS TOGETHER ALWAYS!!!”
Alana Thompson additionally participated within the dialog, urging her fellow adults to “put their variations apart and cease letting private emotions get in the way in which of household.”
She affirmed: “Everyone knows how a lot Anna liked her ladies and the way necessary household was to her. Anybody who actually knew her is aware of she would by no means need them saved aside as a result of adults can’t recover from their issues.”
Alana emphasised: “The ladies need to have one another, they usually need to develop up understanding their household with out all this additional drama.”
She then reasoned: “On the finish of the day this isn’t about who’s proper or flawed, it’s about doing what’s finest for the youngsters. And truthfully, that ought to come earlier than pleasure, earlier than emotions, and earlier than the rest.”
This isn’t the primary time that Alana has gave the impression to be probably the most affordable and mature member of the household.
Who actually minimize off communications?
In the meantime, Michael’s mom, Tonya, has claimed that Kaitlyn and Kylee’s visits solely led to September 2024 because of Mama June allegedly not responding to her.
Clearly, it is a very completely different story than what June and her household are saying.
London, additionally, claimed that the household has stopped making an attempt to contact them — saying that Michael solely stopped messaging Kaitlyn after June stopped replying to his messages.
This feels like an absolute mess.
We don’t know who’s proper, besides that it’s clear that at the very least a few of these people are flawed. All of us want that Kylee and Kaitlyn may spend extra time collectively. They’re sisters, in spite of everything.
