TLC Pulls '19 Kids and Counting' in Wake of Josh Duggar Molestation Admission

TLC has pulled 19 Kids and Counting from its schedule in the wake of star Josh Duggar's admission that he molested several underage girls 12 years ago, including his sisters.

TLC refused to comment on the incident Thursday, but the network sparked outrage later that evening when it ran a 19 Kids and Counting marathon. As of early Friday, the show had been scheduled to air on the morning of May 27, but it has since been taken off the schedule.

some sponsors have already started to cancel their ad buys. That's ultimately what it will come down to, a financial decision, then TLC will cancel the show.
