TLC Pulls the Plug on '19 Kids and Counting' in Wake of Josh Duggar Molestation Revelations

It looks like former fans and supporters of 19 Kids and Counting got their wish! MStars News has learned that the hit TLC has been cancelled in the wake of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar's eldest son, Josh Duggar's, molestation admissions.

MStars News has been all over this story from the beginning and it has truly been a wild one. We previously reported that some of Josh's victims included some of his younger sisters! Despite Anna Duggar's husband's apology, it appears that fans of the show and celebrities wanted the show dropped from the TLC network.

TV talk show host, Montel Williams had a harsh statement for the Duggar child and even called him a "bigot" and "slimebag!"

Now, The Hollywood Reporter claims that TLC released a statement Friday, which read:

"Effective immediately, TLC has pulled all episodes of 19 Kids and Counting currently from the air. We are deeply saddened and troubled by this heartbreaking situation, and our thoughts and prayers are with the family and victims at this difficult time."

The network refused to comment on the incident Thursday, but received harsh backlash when they ran a 19 Kids and Counting marathon this week. According to the TLC listings, the show was scheduled to air an episode on May 27, but that will no longer be happening.

MStars News previously reported that Josh, along with his family, made a apology Thursday after the molestation story leaked. The eldest son has also resigned from his position at the Family Research Council.

Fans weren't feeling the apology and wanted the show banned and are very pleased that the network is letting the show go.

Marty Partin Gunther "I knew!!! I Knew!!! I kept telling everyone there was something wrong with this family!!! And I will bet anything that's why the oldest Jana quit the show!! She was over the lies!!! When the father gives his daughter kissing lesson pd before they get married ewwww!!!
Bye you Freaks!!!!! Prayers your children all leave!!!"

Nancy Zell Robertson "Couldn't they send Josh & the parents away and just have 18 kids and no parents?"

Angela Wills "Thank God this show will no longer be on I find it horribly disgusting"

AnnMarie Hernley "Good...Now they just need to get rid of Kate Gosselin"

Josh and his wife, Anna are expecting baby no. 4 this summer. Here's a flashback of their gender reveal.
