After Duggar molestation revelations, TLC formally cancels reality series 19 Kids and Counting
Nearly two months after 27-year-old reality star Josh Duggar admitted to molesting young girls — including several of his own sisters — when he was a teenager, TLC has formally canceled its Duggar-centric reality series 19 Kids and Counting.
19 Kids and Counting has been off the air since May, when the network pulled reruns as the Duggar family confirmed reports of Josh Duggar's prior sexual abuse. "Twelve years ago, as a young teenager, I acted inexcusably for which I am extremely sorry and deeply regret," said Josh Duggar in a statement at the time.
