When Toler says that Sugar Bear appears to be level-headed on TV, Alana claims that he needs “anger management.” She adds, “He puts on that face for TV to make him seem like he’s the perfect guy, but when he’s off camera and stuff, he’s really not. And Mama just got tired of it, so Mama told him, you’re going to have to start staying at hotels — you’re not staying at our house no more. And then he found Jennifer, and he didn’t come see me anymore.”

Toler wants to know how soon Sugar Bear started dating Lamb after splitting from Mama June, and Alana responds, “I think he was still talking to Jennifer when [he was with Mama June].”
