Adam Levine: "Honey Boo Boo Is the Decay of Western Civilization"
Adam Levine:
December 3, 2012

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."

I've never watched the show but l saw her on Better Connecticut or something like that and honestly the kid is a brat and she is so friggen annoying. She's a fatty and obviously has no discipline. I'm with Adam... Not a fan at all. As for his f bombing, that's just Adam and l believe in freedom of speech... Jmo

Looks like someone didn't do their own fact checking. Go back in the feed and you will see a troll mocking Obama..Just added an opinion to counter. That,And to AssUme I'm a Democrat just proves NADA. I'm an Independant,fool. Also next time I see an old man on 20/20 sitting on his porch, next to his American flag claiming to be a true Republican and he don't need no dang government help! He and his kin are doin' just fine on their foodstamps! I will take into consideration your low blood sugar rant. BTW, we had a 4% unemployment rate under Clinton and a Surplus. The next prez swandered it away on two wars. So,yeah,I research a lot. Still doesn't change the exploitation of a minor child..

@Tigerluv...You need to check your facts. Almost all of the trashy, classless, exploitive and lazy people belong to the Democratic Party. You people are entitled, spoiled, uneducated, and destructive. Every problem in our country can be directly traced back to the actions of YOUR party. And before you disagree, research it. Oh, and P.S how exactly did you see this story and decide that it is an appropriate impetus for a political argument? Wow.

I think the show is definitely ignorance but the way Adam talked about it was also him showing his ignorance. There is a way to discuss something without all the f words. What has the world come too....reality TV.

I do agree. I watched it once an i instantly felt that my education level dropped after watching it. I don't think its funny or entertaining. But i can say this that family knows how to make money off a 7yr old an everyone watching the show is just as guilty!

I agree with him. It's okay to trash the Smiths for allowing their daughter to think for herself just to get a simple haircut. But it's not okay to speak against a mother that exploits her kid like a performing monkey? Not to mention giving her drinks that amp her out like a speed freak. There's no jealousy involved when she grows up with Mt. Dew mouth,looking and talking like a meth head. Wow,the redneck Republican't must be so proud..
