Walgreens has also pulled their funding, taking to Facebook to post a message about the controversy, "In the wake of recent news, we are no longer advertising on the 19 Kids and Counting program," the comment read.

In addition to that, according to Radar Online, Payless also said that they will be cutting ties with the Duggar family, explaining in a statement, "'Payless' ads ran during this show as part of a larger buy with TLC. We are taking steps to have them removed from future episodes."
