Anna Cardwell, the sister of reality TV star Honey Boo Boo and co-star of “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo,” has passed away at the age of 29. Cardwell had been battling adrenal cancer since her diagnosis in January 2023. In an Instagram post, Honey Boo Boo (Alana Thompson) shared the news, expressing that Anna was in pain the previous night but is now at peace.
The family gained fame on the child beauty pageant show “Toddlers & Tiaras” before starring in their own series, “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo.” Cardwell’s cancer journey, marked by her resilience, has been challenging for the family. Despite the difficult circumstances, Honey Boo Boo expressed gratitude for Anna’s fighting spirit and pledged to ensure her legacy lives on. Anna Cardwell’s passing follows a 10-month battle with cancer, and her family, including mother June Shannon, commemorated her strength in their social media posts.
The Thompson family had faced earlier controversies, and their reality show was canceled amid reports of a relationship between Honey Boo Boo’s mother and a registered sex offender. The family continued to appear on various reality TV shows, including “Mama June: From Not to Hot,” documenting June Shannon’s weight loss journey.
