TLC canceled reality series "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" on Friday, a day after news of June "Mama June" Shannon's relationship with a man who was convicted of molesting a young relative of the star surfaced.

On Friday, TLC issued a statement to TheWrap: "TLC has cancelled the series 'Here Comes Honey Boo Boo' and ended all activities around the series, effective immediately. Supporting the health and welfare of these remarkable children is our only priority. TLC is faithfully committed to the children's ongoing comfort and well-being."

The network had previously planned a fifth season of the reality show to premiere in January 2015.

Shannon is allegedly carrying on a relationship with Mark McDaniel, a 53-year-old who served 10 years in prison for molesting an eight-year-old relative of Shannon's. The abuse of the child included forced oral sex. McDaniel was released in March and he's now a registered sex offender in Georgia.

The reality star was reportedly dating McDaniel at the time of abuse and currently remains in contact with the victim -- who would be at least 18 years old now.

Previously, Shannon was in a relationship with Mike "Sugar Bear" Thompson, Alanna "Honey Boo Boo" Shannon's father. They finally married after nine years together in September 2013, which aired on the TLC show. A year later, the couple announced their separation.

"Here Comes Honey Boo Boo," a spinoff of TLC's child pageant series "Toddlers and Tiaras," had been under fire from those who opposed child beauty pageants and the show's portrayal of Southern life, since it premiered in August 2012.

"Honey Boo Boo" had been a consistent ratings winner for TLC. Its premiere episode earned a 1.6 rating in the advertiser-coveted 18-49 demographic, attracting 2.2 million viewers. The Aug. 29, 2012 episode, which aired during the Republican National Convention, made news when it attracted nearly three million viewers and earned a 1.3 rating among the advertiser demo, beating Fox News convention coverage's 1.2 rating and NBC's convention coverage rating of a 1.1.

SHOCKER

[Billup]

Uhhhhh how could anyone not see this happening. Matter of fact, I thought Mama June would have been the child molester.

[2011CrazE89]

Show lasted two years too long.

[Lups]

A good friend showed me a clip of this before we moved here. Scariest thing I've ever seen.

[m3ray]

I mean who else would be willing to smash Mama June BUT a molestor who's been locked away for 10 years.

[F1Venom]

They all look like a bunch of inbred hillbillies so this doesn't surprise me.

[TXSTYLE]

That show was a "guilty pleasure" of ours. Funny (yet gross) shit!

[Lups]

Lol tests showed my first born was ready to go to school two years ahead of her time, and I didn't let her go since childhood is secret in my books. Then there are parents who are willing to make money out of theirs, and it's not that I think myself as the ultimate best parent in the world, I just think Any kid should be allowed to be a kid. I didn't get to be one long enough, but mine sure as hell will have the chance of growing up in peace.

I'm actually proud of this... Not the best grammar but I can relate to the underlying message.

If that's the scariest thing you've ever seen, you have to get out more Lups.

Not much scares me, but greed and kids as the means to get money is to me scary. The person using them is the one who is supposed to keep them safe, so I would say that's much worse than anything else.

I can see how foriengners would find it scary. A family of obese fatties, who attack each other with bad jokes and flatulence. You could see how people would tune in to the next episode just to make sure Mama didn't eat one of the kids. Scary indeed.

[Lups]

Haha, its just me hating people exploiting kids.

I've seen enough crazy shit for few life times, that's not it. Still kids being used is a huge red flag for me, and the minute long clip was more than enough.

I was waiting for the train wreck, I figure it would be the train that ran through their back yard would hit the house.

Leave is to JackAss to make a movie (Bad Grampa) who dress up a boy to look like the honey boo boo and fake a kid beauty queen. Actually the boy look better.

That Duck show got cancelled and came right back, so don't hold your breath yet.

Cy busts me up!!! I tried to buy a DC B-day card this weekend, luckily the wife over-ruled me on that one.

[TXSTYLE]

But all I want to know is... Who would smash?

[grimlock]

^Smash? I would Mol....

and I'm banned

Would we have to meet the whole family, or is this like a dine and dash type situation?

Would she talk at all?

Would she call you after?

These are imperative to give a honest answer.

No the dad got punted from the show and they all threaten to walk then the red neck crowd weight in. Who would have thought the red-neck crowd has more power then the gay contingency.

Remember TLC is doing it for the kids and nothing trumps save the kids. Not like they are attempting to make sure the nut case does not come in contact with the kids.
