We watched them go from 16 to 19 kids (and counting!), and now it looks as though we’ll see the Duggars get booted from the network that made them famous.
Several advertisers have bailed on 19 Kids and Counting in the wake of the Josh Duggar molestation scandal, and today, the show was dealt another crushing blow when all episodes were pulled from the popular streaming TV streaming service Hulu.
A source tells TMZ that TLC execs will most likely announce that the show has been canceled entirely sometime this week.
At first, there were rumors that the network would simply fire Josh Duggar and continue producing new episodes of its most popular series.
But as new public relations nightmares seem to emerge from the situation every day (including child abuse accusations aimed at Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar), it’s reportedly become clear to the network’s top brass that canceling the series is the only way to avoid making the situation worse.
Many applauded TLC for canceling Here Comes Honey Boo Boo immediately after learning of June Shannon’s involvement with the man convicted of molesting her daughter.
Conversely, the network has been widely criticized for failing to act following the news that Josh Duggar may have molested his sisters, as well as several other young girls.
Earlier today, a source told People magazine that Michelle and Jim Bob are not concerned about the show being canceled, and are instead focusing on "their faith and each other."
