‘Honey Boo Boo’ Producer Authentic Entertainment Names Michael Bouson Chief Operating Officer

Authentic Entertainment CEO and co-founder Lauren Lexton announced a new executive structure for the documentary and unscripted production company on Tuesday.

As part of the realignment, Michael Bouson, who previously served as Executive in Charge of Production and SVP of Production and Operations has been promoted to Chief Operating Officer.

“This team is the reason that Authentic is one of the top production companies in the industry,” Lexton said in a statement. “I couldn’t be happier to have them lead the way with me into the future. We’ve always prided ourselves on the fact that we recognize great talent; those who work behind the scenes to create some of the most creative content out there, and those in front of the camera who bare their souls for the world to see. It’s that talent that’s always made us truly Authentic.”
