Mama June fans watched as Anna Cardwell passed away from stage 4 adrenal carcinoma. She left behind two daughters, Kaitlyn and Kylee, and no firm custody plan. This was a problem because the sisters wanted to be together, but that would end up in a legal battle. They were ultimately separated, and there has been a lot of mudslinging amongst the adults.

Now, Anna’s sister, Pumpkin Efird, is bashing Anna’s ex-husband, Michael Cardwell, for essentially holding Kylee hostage. Keep reading for all of the details.

Michael Cardwell Holding Kylee Hostage?

When Mama June and her  family were on their press tour for  Family Crisis, the topic of Kylee Cardwell came up. She is the youngest daughter of Anna Cardwell, whom she shared with her first husband, Michael. It made sense that he would get custody of her after Anna passed, given that he was her biological father. As for Anna’s eldest child, Kaitlyn, her dad was always unknown, although Michael allegedly helped raise her. He attempted to fight June for custody but lost. Despite Kaitlyn and Kylee living in two different states, the goal was to keep them close.

While doing press, it came out that Michael had blocked Kaitlyn. This was shocking, and his wife, London Cardwell, soon disputed the claim. Fans even thought that it was a Mama June fabrication. Now, Pumpkin Efird is saying her piece, and she is bashing Michael and London. She stated that no one has seen Kylee in two years and added:

• When my sister passed Michael Cardwell and London Cardwell BOTH sat in the yard at my mom’s house in Ivey and said “I promise we won’t keep Kylee from yall or Kaitlyn”.

This has allegedly all been a lie, and no matter how many times the Shannon women have attempted to reach out, nothing comes of it. However, if Michael, London, and Kylee happen to come to Georgia, they want to see Kaitlyn. Yet, they allegedly do not allow Kylee to swing by. Finally, Pumpkin noted that Anna never wanted any of this. She only wanted the girls together, and that has been made very clear by everyone, even Mama June. This was all sparked when London reposted this video, saying to pray for the family.
