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 acts like Honey Boo is about glorifying murders or the parents are abusing her. Guess what Adam. Not everyone is rich or highly educated. This is the reality of a lot of america so he needs to shut his elitist mouth up. People have lived like this for centuries without the western world falling apart. Doesn't make them horrible people.

I'm sorry, but what exactly is it about Honey Boo Boo that is so offensive? The fact that they don't live in a big house? The fact that they're not thin or articulate and prioritize having fun over being clean and perfect? Alana is confident, generous/charitable, and tolerant of other people who are different from her - that is a HUGE feat for an 8 year old growing up in rural Georgia.

So, no, fuck YOU, Adam, for completely missing what is so charming about Honey Boo Boo and being a steaming bag of severed dicks about an eight year old girl that has twice the integrity that you have.

All of this. There's something ridiculous about a grown man throwing a tantrum over an 8-year-old. I swear he gets worse and worse every time he opens his mouth.

right on, bb. she's a cool little kid, and adam is a douche for picking on her.

If anything in this story is a sign of the decay of Western civilization it's the adults talking about a 7 year old girl like that. Honestly, Joy Behar wtf.

To be honest, I don't think Joy is entirely WRONG (I agree with the "she'll grow up to be fat, it's in the genetics"), but just the way she said it was not in good taste. Don't know if I'd publicly say something like that, shading a child like that either.

The same can be said about your music, Adam Levine of Maroon5.

all this disgusting criticism makes me worried for alana though. i hope she's not aware of all the hurtful things GROWN ass ADULTS say about her and her family.
powerbottom 3rd-Dec-2012 05:35 pm (UTC)
Didn't he cheat on his girlfriend with another girl from VS? He has bigger fish to fry than this girl's family.

I haven't watched a single episode of this show but I feel like watching it since people bitch about it so much.
hrdtxpln 3rd-Dec-2012 05:40 pm (UTC)
He's admitted to cheating, not sure with Anne or Behati or whoever though.
kurtvonnegut 3rd-Dec-2012 05:41 pm (UTC)
i don't think he cheated, i think she dumped him? and then he spent the entire voice season being an emo douchebag and being visibly distraught over it instead of doing his job.

I could say the same about every Maroon 5 album after Songs About Jane.
