Report: TLC cancels 'Honey Boo Boo' because mom dated child molester (VIDEO)

LOS ANGELES (CNN) -- TLC's "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" is ending its run.

On Friday, TMZ reported that the network has canceled the series in light of claims that the program's newly separated matriarch, June "Mama June" Shannon, is dating Mark Anthony McDaniel, a man who served 10 years in prison after being convicted of aggravated child molestation in 2004 and who is a registered sex offender.

Shannon said the reports that she's dating McDaniel are "totally untrue" but confirmed that "as of right now, there will be no more production of the show."

Speculation that "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" was headed for cancellation began Thursday, when some outlets reported that the show's future was in jeopardy because of Shannon's alleged relationship with McDaniel.

In a statement, TLC said that it was "very concerned about this new information" and was "reassessing the future of the series."

As rumors about her romantic life flew, Shannon tried to clear them up with a post on the personal Facebook page of daughter Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson.
