Duggar Family News Update: TLC May Be Pressured By Public’s Outrage After Showing Jill And Jessa: Counting On Spinoff
TLC, the TV network of the long-standing show 19 Kids And Counting and the recent Jill and Jessa: Counting On was under attack by a barrage of noise after airing the first few episodes of the Duggar family spinoff a year after the shocking Josh Duggar molestation and cheating scandal.
It can be remembered last week that the network had an ample share of loses when more than ten advertisers withdrew their support for the network when their ads were aired during the showing of the Jill and Jessa spinoff without their permission.
Media reps of companies like Wrigley, Cici's Pizza, The UPS Store, and Verizon Wireless released a statement saying showing their ads during the program is an error which they never planned.
This week, a source cited that lots of viewers were enraged for the network's tolerance of Josh Duggar's molestation acts when he was still a kid saying the TV network is "enabling child abuse" and further having overlooked on his cheating acts towards his wife Anna.
"Critics are disgusted that the bible-thumping Duggars hold themselves out as pious Christians advocating family values when Josh molested his own sisters and cheated on his wife with porn stars and prostitutes," the source said.
The cancellation of the spinoffs would mean a big loss for the family as it is said to cost around $25,000 to $45,000 per episode.
This sad financial state and the downhill turn of the Duggar family's careers came amidst new pregnancy rumors aimed at Jill Duggar and Derick Dilliard.
In one snap in Instagram, Jill's lose clothing became the subject of discussion when netizens noticed what seems like a baby bump.
"Is it me or does Jill look pregnant again? Are they trying to hide their pregnancy?" one follower said.
The comments went on with one netizen saying, "Yes I believe she is pregnant too it looks like it. I mean it looks like her shirt is sticking out where its cut off at."
Meanwhile, no pregnancy rumors were aimed at Jessa Seewald this week. However, one photo showing baby Spurgeon placed in a car seat triggers an uproar with concerned fans being worried about the baby who was just actually chilling while playing with a toy giraffe.
