Sarpong worked as an interviewer on Jesse Ventura's Conspiracy Theory show broadcast on TruTV.[5][6] On the first episode she made the claim that the 2004 Tsunami was not preceded by "pretremors or any warning". Journalist Peter Hadfield criticized this claim as being unsupported by seismological records and scientific papers.[7] In late 2013, Elton John performed a variation of his 1970 hit "Your Song" with the amended lyrics "You can tell everybody 'You're June Sarpong'" as an apparent reference to an in-joke between the pair from a charity event earlier that year.[8] After the "#WheresJuneSarpongGone" campaign begun by Celebrity Juice on 19 March 2015, Loose Women welcomed her to the panel as a guest panellist on 23 March.
