Mama June's Daughter Pumpkin's Expo Booth Canceled Over Strip Club Link

Mama June's daughter Pumpkin (real name Lauryn Efird) had her booth at Fanboy Expo canceled because the space was purchased by a strip club — not because of her OnlyFans account. Organizers clarified the situation after online speculation that adult content led to the cancellation.

David Heynen, promoter of the Knoxville, Tennessee event, told TMZ that Fanboy Expo has been a family-friendly convention since 2012. He said vendors are strictly prohibited from promoting or selling adult industry products or services, which was the basis for the cancellation.

The booth was registered under the name "Knoxville Bistro," but organizers received a complaint after a local gentlemen's club promoted Pumpkin's appearance at the expo on social media. It turned out the booth had been paid for by the club, though this was not disclosed initially.

"This vendor did not purchase under the name of the gentlemen's club," Heynen explained. "Additionally, we do not want the event to have any association with an adult industry business." He emphasized the cancellation was about the club, not about Lauryn personally.

Pumpkin recently launched an OnlyFans account, charging subscribers $23.39 per month for solo content. Her boyfriend, Darrin Kitchens, has publicly supported the move, calling it an extra income stream and saying he'll back her "always in whatever she does."

The incident sparked debate among fans of the reality show, where Mama June's family is known for controversial stories. Some expressed disappointment with the organizers, while others defended them, noting the importance of adhering to event rules.
