After the 37-year-old reality star's new We TV series premiered on Friday, February 24, several viewers took to social media to question whether the "before" scenes were actually filmed after she dropped the weight.

In an exclusive clip shared by People, it's revealed that the 37-year-old has adopted a rigorous workout routine and even went under the knife to achieve results.

Whether her suspected wardrobe is to make her final weight loss appear even more drastic or is due to the need to film extra scenes, some fans are not pleased with the suspected lie and took to social media to share their disappointment.

Fans took to Twitter to post screenshots of scenes from the first episode, pointing out what looks like a prosthetic double chin peeling around Mama June’s eyes and nose. Fans were convinced that she’s wearing a fat suit because she was very stiff and did not move around much, and she especially couldn’t move her head from side to side. Many of them said the show is “fake” and “scripted.”

One viewer tweeted, "It's obviously obvious that Mama June is wearing a fat face and suit for this show's confessional." Another pointed out, "You can tell some 'before' surgery scenes were filmed after it (besides obvious weight loss) by fake neck & much blonder hair."

This tweet was only the beginning.

Mama June's new show documents her weight-loss journey and so-called "revenge diet" after her high-profile 2015 split from Mike "Sugar Bear" Thompson. In the series premiere, she was seen exercising outside in an attempt to break the plateau she hit after undergoing gastric-sleeve surgery in May 2015.

Yeah, I mean, that's for sure weird, but all I can think about is how crazy it is that she even has a show. I mean, this is the same woman who continued her relationship with the man who molested her daughter, right? Oh well, a bizarre makeover story means it was all worth it, right?!
