Was Frances McDormand's Character (June) A Prostitute?

Was her husband/boyfriend her pimp?

I saw this on commercial TV and it was heavily edited.

I know, huh?

From the first scene they show her, with all the guys coming and going, it does seem like a brothel with a corrupt cop visiting, and I was stumped about that, then it turns out that it is their Mom's place.

Did anyone else think this was odd? Was it intentionally misleading?
