Adam Levine: "Honey Boo Boo Is the Decay of Western Civilization"



Not everyone has fallen in love with 7-year-old Alana Thompson.

In the December issue of GQ, Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine profanely bashes TLC's Here Comes Honey Boo Boo. The reality series -- beloved by stars like Rosie O'Donnell, Miley Cyrus, Anderson Cooper and Tina Fey -- was a surprise hit for the network, averaging 2.3 million viewers per episode.

"Seriously, Honey Boo Boo is the decay of Western civilization. Just because so many people watch the show doesn't mean it's good," snipes Levine, who mentors aspiring singers on NBC's The Voice. "So many people witness atrocities and can't take their eyes away from them, but that doesn't mean they're good. That show is literally The. Worst. Thing. That's. Ever. Happened."

The "One More Night" singer continues, "It's complete f-cking ignorance and the most despicable way to treat your kids. F-ck those people. You can put that in the magazine: F-ck those idiots. They're just the worst. Sorry, I'm so sensitive to that -- like, I don't know, man, it's upsetting. Just to clarify, I said, 'F-ck those people!'"


Levine, 33, isn't the only star who takes issue with Thompson and her Georgia-based family. In a Sept. 5 interview with The Huffington Post, The View's Joy Behar, 69, blasted the young beauty queen. "What's little Honey Boo Boo going to grow up to be? That's what I want to know?" Behar asked. "She's going to be a fat kid; she's going to grow up to be a big fat woman. She is, I can tell. She's just a kid, but you see the genetics are right there. She's going to have large boob boobs -- Honey Boobs Boobs."

He does realize that he's Adam Levine, though, right.

from what I've seen they seem to be really good people who just happens to fit the redneck stereotype that people find so repulsive. they're a fun and loving family, so, like, fuck off Adam.
missdisco 3rd-Dec-2012 04:55 pm (UTC)
after a while, you start to think that this show, and this kid, gets way too much flak from preeening cocks on talentless shows about how she's poor and fat. Seriously, you're insulting a child there.

Like, that's the society you all created.
leprince504 3rd-Dec-2012 04:55 pm (UTC)
he's often a douche, but ia with him completely about this. and I've been saying the same thing about the Kardashians for years.
punishermax 3rd-Dec-2012 04:59 pm (UTC)
No it's not. People say this shit about every fucking show ever

THE REAL WORLD IS THE DOWNFALL OF MANKIND

JERSEY SHORE IS OUR DOWNFALL

i think america is the downfall of america
kurtvonnegut 3rd-Dec-2012 05:36 pm (UTC)
srsly

back when western civilization began people used to watch people fucking kill each other as entertainment
itscomicrelief 3rd-Dec-2012 05:15 pm (UTC)
I used be all "fuck this family" then I watched the show. She's just a super confident girl, and their family lives really modestly and you can just tell they all genuinely love each other.

I'd rather have everyone watch Honey Boo Boo than the Kardashians
sweet_honesty 4th-Dec-2012 02:51 am (UTC)
Yeah, they're the downfall...not any of the REAL problems in our culture,
orangeandblack 3rd-Dec-2012 04:55 pm (UTC)
He needs to chill out. Getting so mad at a little backwoods family with bad dietary habits is pretty batshit, bro.
harborafternoon 3rd-Dec-2012 04:56 pm (UTC)
how are they backwards tho. they seem cooler than so many other people lol
orangeandblack 3rd-Dec-2012 05:00 pm (UTC)
Backwoods, bb. Not backwards. AKA not city folk who have their city ways that so many people have come to expect.
sweet_honesty 4th-Dec-2012 02:53 am (UTC)
Not only that, he's blaming the downfalls on our society on them and not people that actually deserve that...like tea partiers,
fionaapple 3rd-Dec-2012 04:55 pm (UTC)
Shut up, Adam Levine, and go back to the Songs about Jane era. Honey Boo Boo has more class in her pinkie than he does.

you didn't lie

I don't understand why people think this is the worst show ever. have they even watched an episode?
manaconda 3rd-Dec-2012 04:56 pm (UTC)
i swear, it would literally kill adam levine if he wasn't just the worst.

he probably gets phantom pains when he starts to edge on being likable.

ugh how gross. he says that the show is ignorant, but saying "fuck those idiots" isn't? she's a 7 year old.
hotel 3rd-Dec-2012 05:05 pm (UTC)
to be fair, seems like he's talking about her family, not her.
scarletfbl 3rd-Dec-2012 05:10 pm (UTC)
Only 2 of them are adults, though.
alouds 3rd-Dec-2012 04:56 pm (UTC)
there's nothing wrong with having your kids in those pageants if they WANT to be in them cause they think dressing up is fun and meeting new friends is fun, it's the parents who force their kids into it to live some pipedream they never had is the problem when you can see their kids are miserable. if honey boo boo wants to do what shes doing leave her the fuck alone, she's just a kid. what is he so sensitive over? it's not his kid so he needs to back the fuck off. rme @ joy's fat shame as well. i think one of the best things that comes out of honey boo boo is how her and her mother really don't give a fuck about size and just go about their business and have fun.
