Here Comes Honey Boo Boo‘s Mama June Shannon has called for 19 Kids and Counting to be cancelled following Josh Duggar‘s admission of sexual abuse.
TLC axed Honey Boo Boo in October after Shannon was seen with convicted child molester Mark McDaniel, and Shannon wants 19 Kids to follow suit.
19 Kids and Counting – TLC Pulls Series, Issues Statement
Shannon tells TMZ that the network should in no way continue airing the show:
June says she never molested anyone and McDaniel wasn’t ever on her show, yet Josh Duggar is a central figure on the TLC show and admitted to molesting some of his sisters, who are also on the show. What’s more, she believes Jim Bob and Michelle covered up their son’s misdeeds.
And June adds, “I read that the Duggar family said, this happening with their son brought them closer to God and each other. So they’re saying it’s ok to have family touch time? Hell no.”
Brenda C. says
I was truely shocked and till am. Yes, Josh was a minor and I believe Jim Bob tryed to save his son the best way he new how. Sometimes we don’t know what to do and we
‘re in shock ourselfs and we don’t always make good decisions for all involved. I do feel just terrible for the girls. Some how you feel less than a person for what has happened. Hopefully they all will heal. You forgive a person but that does not mean you will trust them or agree with everything they do. You are more aware and will watch that person at all cost. As for cancelling the show I don’t think the whole family should be punished. Josh is not ahead of the show just part of it and he should be addressed whether he should be on the show and how much.
