TLC pulled the show six years ago over accusations that Josh Duggar had molested four of his sisters and a babysitter, KNWA reported. The accusations stemmed from a report from InTouch Weekly that detailed allegations that he had molested several young girls while he was a teenager. In a subsequent interview with Fox News, Josh Duggar’s parents, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, confirmed he had told them about the incidents.
In 2015, Josh Duggar publicly apologized for his pornography addiction and cheating on his wife, calling himself “the biggest hypocrite ever.”
