"I want to know how the f--k you act a color?" Honey Boo Boo went on. "Like, oh you wake up one day and be like, 'Hm, let's see: I'm gonna be purple.' Ho, you can't act a color! You can be a color, but you can't act a color."

The post comes as the former "Toddlers and Tiaras" star continues to appear on "Mama June: From Not to Hot" on WE tv, where she's dealing with even more drama in her life.

On a recent episode, Honey Boo Boo, whose real name is Alana Thompson, ran away from Mama June's house to her father, Sugar Bear's, house because she felt lonely at home.

Mama June has yet to comment on her daughter's latest controversy.
