The scandal Josh Duggar, 27, brought to his family can be the reason for the family to lose their TLC show, "19 Kids and Counting."
Initially the family was one against the controversy. Josh reportedly abused five women, four of them were his sisters. When Jessa and Jill Duggar, two of Josh's victims were interviewed by Fox News, they revealed that they have already forgiven Josh and have moved on.
Many criticized the family for standing by Josh, despite his misbehavior. However, according to Jessa and Jill, he is already a changed man, adding that the incident happened several years ago.
Unfortunately, that seems not to be the case anymore. In a report from OK!, "the disgraced star has fallen out of the good graces of his family."
In a report from ENSTARS, everyone was not happy at how Josh's molestation scandal may trigger the family to lose their show. "19 Kids and Counting" is the "longest running and highest-rated program" in TLC, but the network suspended the show immediately, pulling all the episodes that were currently aired when the molestation scandal broke, Mail Online reports.
The said show is the major source of income of the family and it funded their trips, groceries, clothes and even wedding gowns, OK! reports. It will definitely be a big loss to the family if the show will never return on air.
Unfortunately, there is a big chance that it might never be seen again. Several fans and viewers do not find the family reliable at all, especially that the show is about them.
One critic is obviously not willing to see the show anymore, commenting: "Either way TLC is condoning this behavior by not canceling the show. This channel is banned from my house. I'm trying to look up all their sponsors to write to them."
Josh is now on his own and can no longer expect any help from his family. Last week, Josh and his family moved back to Arkansas. He was spotted preparing all their things and placing them in two moving trucks without any other Duggar in the area to extend help.
In 2013, when Josh, his wife, Anna, and their three children moved to Maryland from Arkansas, the entire Duggar family helped them, OK! noted.
A source told OK! that Josh's wife will be delivering their fourth child in less than a month and the family is in dire need of help, especially now that Josh has already resigned from his job and is currently unemployed.
However, no one is willing to support Josh this time. The source told OK!, "But the family abandoned them, all saying they were 'too busy.'"
