Anna “Chickadee” Cardwell, 20-year-old sister of Honey Boo Boo on TLC’s Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, opened up to E! News about being at the center of the ongoing sexual abuse scandal against Mark McDaniel, ex-boyfriend of Cardwell’s mother Mama June Shannon.

Cardwell claims to have been molested by McDaniel when she was just 8 years old.  Cardwell was candid about her alleged experience: “You’re 8-years old, you don’t know.  To me, it was kinda like, oh, get off me, it hurts. Stay off and leave me alone. And I’d just go to sleep and cry.”

Cardwell also told E! News reporter Catt Sadler about the troubled relationship with her mother: “Mama can be very selfish. She ain’t tell me she love me in a long time.”

Cardwell went onto say that Mama June has also been taking money from the trust funds ($30,000 was set aside from the show’s earnings) that were established for each of the girls.  Cardwell claims that, when she called the bank to check on her account, she was told that there was just $17.90 remaining in the account. It is suspected by Cardwell that Mama June used the funds to purchase items for McDaniel: “I have a feeling Mama used that money to buy a car or buy him what he wanted,” she told E! News.

Mama June denies these claims, saying that the money set aside for the girls is still there: “Not true,” said Mama June, “I have never bought a car for him and all her money is there, beside the money I have given her to live on.”
