In 2021, they appeared on The Masked Singer, which Shannon said marked their first project together since she got sober.

However, the mother-daughter pair hit a rough patch last year when Thompson accused Shannon of stealing $35,000 from her Coogan account, a trust where parents of child stars are legally required to deposit a percentage of their earnings.
“Alana is the reason you’re Mama June. Give her her money back and be a decent human being,” Efird implored in an episode of Mama June: Family Crisis.
After her graduation from Wilkinson County High School in McIntyre, Georgia, Thompson began studying at Regis University in Denver, Colorado, where she is pursuing a degree in neonatal nursing.
“I’m just looking forward to helping people,” the 19-year-old told People magazine. “I really want to be a neonatal nurse, so I want to work with little babies. I don’t want to have no babies though. That’s my motto.”

Alana has been open about her relationship with Dralin Carswell, whom she began dating in 2021 when she was 16 and he was 21.
Addressing the commentary surrounding her boyfriend, particularly the age gap between them, she said, “In our relationship, the two most things that everybody is always talking about is our age gap and definitely because he’s Black and I’m White and we’re an interracial couple.”
