NextImg:Mama June defends posting NSFW content amid daughter Anna’s cancer battle

“Mama June” Shannon won’t switch up her social media persona amid her daughter Anna “Chickadee” Cardwell’s cancer battle.

After the reality star posted a NSFW video of herself lifting up her skirt to show her “gobbler” to her husband, Justin Stroud, she clapped back at an Instagram troll who told her to “worry about” and “fight with” her 28-year-old child.

“well let me school you just a little bit,” Shannon, 44, wrote. “We speak almost on a daily basis.

“Life doesn’t stop even though some days it feels like I’m living in a dream with all this,” she continued. “it’s a daily struggle for me [mentally] and [emotionally] to deal with and sometime [sic] to get through the day.”

The “Mama June: From Not to Hot” alum added, “At the end of [the day], there is nothing we can change about the situation. I needed a break from reality for a minute even though it’s in the front of my mind every second of every single day so me posting on social media doesn’t mean I don’t care or ain’t there for her during this.”

She concluded by telling the hater to “walk a day in [her] shoes,” writing, “You or anyone [don’t] have any idea what I deal with and struggle with.”

News broke in March that Cardwell had been diagnosed with stage 4 adrenal carcinoma.

“I’m bluntly honest about people with this: We don’t know what the life expectancy is,” Shannon exclusively told Page Six two months later.

After explaining that Cardwell was on her third round of chemo, she added, “If it’s not helping, then we go back to the drawing board, and we don’t know what the next step is.”

Shannon gave an update last month after Cardwell’s fourth round of the treatment, saying the cancer is terminal.

“We don’t know what to expect because the cancer is very aggressive, and it grew from nothing to something huge on the left side of her body really fast,” she explained to “Entertainment Tonight” in July.

Shannon noted at the time that Cardwell feels “pretty good,” although chemo “does wear her body down sometimes.”

The “Toddlers & Tiaras” alum, who is also the mother of daughters Jessica “Chubbs” Shannon, 26, Lauryn “Pumpkin” Efird, 23, and Alanna “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson, 17, is moving back to Georgia and “definitely leaving Alabama” to support Cardwell.
