Fans of Mama June: Road to Redemption saw Jessica break down as she opened up about her feelings. They said they felt sad for her and that she deserved a hug.

What happened in the latest episode of Mama June: Road to Redemption?

Jessica started off by revealing that her mother barely ever listened to what she had to say. She then added that with June, no one knew if she was lying or telling the truth and also noted that she learned about June for the first time before she went to college.

The Mama June: Road to Redemption star shared that she learned to put her boundaries up with her mother after the situation with her car. June pawned Jessica's car and since she failed to pay it back, her vehicle was repossessed. Continuing, she shared that she wasn't aware of Geno and June's addiction until it happened.

The Mama June: Road to Redemption star added that she felt it was weird when June bought her 24-year-old alleged boyfriend a car and also paid for his house for a year. Further, Jessica said that she and her mother's alleged boyfriend were the same age and questioned why June didn't help her own daughter out.

Opening up about how June's behavior affected her life, Jessica said that it doesn't bother her anymore. During her confessional, she said:

"For the first part of my life, I lived with Doe Doe. I mean, I didn't know what Mama was up to. I just learned to grow up on my own and Mama wasn't around the and she's barely around now."

Jessica then broke down after she opened up about how Josh and Pumpkin had been helping her out. She said that they do a lot and stated:

"I'm grown, I mean they could've told me, you know, 'Jessica you're old enough like, you need to do your own thing. And they could have just, not basically not been around like Mama has."

Dr. Ish told the Mama June: Road to Redemption star that Pumpkin and Josh did so much for her because they loved her. He added that she was worthy of love and that it mattered. He added that if June had been the mother she wanted, Jessica wouldn't have been the woman she needed to be right now.

The episode was filled with emotions and fan reactions show just how much Jessica's story affected them.
