Honey Boo Boo's Income on 'DWTS: Juniors' Is Revealed & the Criticism Is Truly Disturbing
Ever since news surfaced Honey Boo Boo is participating on Dancing With the Stars: Junior, several people (and that's putting it nicely) have had a lot to say about the 12-year-old reality star putting on her dancing shoes. And sadly, it doesn't appear to be letting up. The world now knows how much Honey Boo Boo can make on DWTS: Juniors, and judging by all the criticism, it's safe to say folks aren't happy for her ... at all.
Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson is gearing up to hit the ballroom and compete for a mirrorball trophy.
Joining Honey Boo Boo on the dance floor is Miles Brown from the hit ABC show black-ish.
She could earn up to $130,000, assuming she makes it to the finale.
TMZ, which reports it has a copy of her contract, states Honey Boo Boo got $50,000 for signing on the dotted line to participate in DWTS: Juniors. The child star can earn $5,000 (per episode) for participating in the second and third episodes, $7,500 (per episode) for episodes four and five, $10,000 (per episode) for episodes six and seven, a cool $15,000 for the eighth episode, and $20,000 for the finale.
And could face a $1 million penalty for spilling any deets about the show.
The Blast alleges Honey Boo Boo will be on the hook for "liquidated damages in the amount of $1,000,000" for disclosing any info deemed confidential about the show.
Welp, critics are having a field day with this new revelation, poking fun at Honey Boo Boo's weight.
These comments are pretty horrible.
Or making some other cruel joke.
Sadly, this isn't the first time people made fun of Honey Boo Boo's weight.
Folks really don't think Honey Boo Boo is cut out to compete in a dancing competition.
These she's "too fat" sentiments really need to stop.
And they really need to go somewhere and be quiet.
It's pretty appalling how quickly people are to bully a 12-year-old because of her weight. We really need to do better.
