"Honey Boo Boo&amp;#039;s mother &amp;#039;Mama&amp;#039; June Shannon has banned family friend &amp;#039;Crazy&amp;#039; Tony Lindsey from appearing on their TLC reality series due to his recent arrest. Lindsey was part of a group of men who were arrested in December 2012 for a prank in which they donned a gorilla costume and ran into oncoming traffic.   (Pictured above: &amp;#039;Crazy&amp;#039; Tony Lindsey, Alana &amp;#039;Honey Boo Boo&amp;#039; Thompson) The incident apparently led Shannon to re-evaluate her family&amp;#039;s relationship with Lindsey and she has now told TMZ that the man will make no further appearances on Here Comes Honey Boo Boo. &amp;quot;We love him as a friend... but that was a crazy story,&amp;quot; Shannon told the website. &amp;quot;Not trying to be mean, but we want to keep it family oriented.&amp;quot; Lindsey was reached for comment about his banning from Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, but only said: &amp;quot;TV&amp;#039;s changed that family.&amp;quot; Here Comes Honey Boo Boo has been a breakout hit for TLC, having attracted several high-profile fans. Miley Cyrus, Rosie O&amp;#039;Donnell and Ellen DeGeneres have all declared themselves to be regular viewers of the reality series. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
