It’s official. TLC and the Duggars are officially breaking family ties. The network has canceled reality show 19 Kids and Counting, nearly two months after news surfaced that oldest son Josh Duggar molested several children, including some of his sisters, when he was a teenager. “After thoughtful consideration, TLC and the Duggar family have decided to not move forward with 19 Kids and Counting. The show will no longer appear on the air,” according to a TLC statement, which adds, “Over these past weeks, TLC has consulted regularly with leading victims’ rights and advocacy organizations in the U.S., including RAINN and Darkness to Light, to discuss how to use this moment to address the issue and make a positive impact.” TLC is working with both organizations and the Duggars to raise awareness about the issue, and will air a one-hour documentary to air later this year.
