June Shannon attempted to move on from her boyfriend Geno Doak, after leaving him during the season premiere of Mama June: Road to Redemption.

The episode began with June detailing the reasons for why she ended up leaving Geno - who she introduced to viewers as her boyfriend in Season 2 of Mama June: From Not to Hot - in the middle of the night.

'You know, I should've left Geno a long time ago. He got domestic violence charges. I shouldn't have dropped those, but I was scared like a lot of women are,' she explained to producers.

June then expressed that she was afraid for her life when they were arrested following a domestic dispute in 2019.

'That day, he drunk, smoked cocaine. He smoked crack. He shot up cocaine and just, he snapped. And that time, he started pulling my hair. He said I was a b****. And I was screaming the whole time, help me. He's gonna kill me.' 

'And five cops came up behind us. So we got arrested. I think it was by the grace of God because he could have killed me,' she stated.

However, she decided to drop the domestic violence charged against Geno: 'I wanted that morning to go in there and tell the D.A. that I wanted to keep the domestic violence charges. But I knew that if I had to go fight a case, I couldn't have done it because I was scared for my life.'

June then explained that she told the grand jury that the couple were 'working' on their relationship and going to counseling, which she told her producer 'was all lies.'

She revealed how Geno made her believe that she was 'the problem' and that she felt 'emotionally beat down.'

'In a domestic violence situation, he ain't got to put his f***** hands on you. He really don't. But the mentalist and the emotional state they can put you in, is the worst f***** abuse than somebody putting their damn hands on me.'

The mom-of-four explained that she had stayed for so long due to 'love, stupidity, thinking it's gonna change' and that her and Geno had a 'codependent relationship.'

'It's really hard to kind of... to get away from that because any codependency on somebody is worse than a drug addiction. It's easier for somebody on the outside to say "Just leave" like the kids were. It's easy to make that judgment because I would tell other people that,' she explained.

June then revealed that her sobriety was her priority: 'My sobriety is number one, and I don't wanna get back in that mindset. And I see myself slipping back into that if I stayed in the situation.'

It was then revealed that she had not officially broken up with Geno, but was intending to do it at his court appearance.

'It's gonna be super hard to break it off with Geno. I honestly don't know what's gonna happen when I see him. But when you love somebody and you care about somebody and they've got that much f***** control over you, you know within your heart, you know within your gut that you need to get the f***** away, or you're gonna end up dead.'  

Elsewhere in the show, June's daughter Lauryn Efrid (aka Pumpkin), 22, who had just given birth to her son Bentley, was upset that her mother had not come to see her son, like she had with her daughter Ella, four.

'With Ella, mom made sure she was a part of Ella's life 24/7. But Bentley hasn't even met Gigi because she's up and missing again. God knows what June and Geno are doin',' she stated.

Alana Thompson (aka Honey Boo Boo), 16, who has been staying with Pumpkin and her husband Josh in their new home, along with her sister Jessica Shannon (aka Chubbs), 25, also expressed her disappointment with their mother. 

'I've spent so many years worrying about Mama and where she is and what she's doin' that I'm kind of just over it now. Like, I've realized that Mama's gonna do what Mama wants to do, when she wants to do it, and how she wants to do it,' she expressed. 

When Pumpkin finally got a hold of June on the phone, she admonished her for not having a plan about what she would do next.

'Just call me back when you make a damn decision on what the hell you're gonna do with your life. Because I got kids who actually need me. I'm not really sure if you know what that feels like,' she said. 

'Yes, I do know what that feels like. You ain't gotta be so rude about it,' June replied.
