TLC canceled their show 19 Kids and Counting after countless rumors started surfacing about the Duggar family. Even though 19 Kids and Counting is no longer on air, the Duggar couple Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar are hounded by rumors.
The latest rumors suggest that the Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar are heading for divorce. The Duggar parents had been silent for a long time, but iTech Post reported that the couple finally decided to answer all the rumors with a photo of them kissing.
Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar are married for 32 years, and they attained popularity after starring in the show 19 Kids and Counting. The Duggars remained strong even after the string of rumors started circulating about the family.
The couple took to Twitter to negate all the rumors, and they did in the best way possible. The photo shows the couple kissing while Jim holds one of the magazines that wrote about the different rumors.
The couple said that people shouldn’t believe everything that they read on tabloids. The couple announced that they have been married for 32 years and are still very much happy with each other.
It was, in fact, another tabloid that started the events that resulted in 19 Kids and Counting getting canceled. In Touch magazine reportedly got hold of Josh Duggar’s police records after he was involved in a molestation case.
When the magazine made the news public, the viewers of the show started talking about the episode and the producers of the TLC show didn’t think that the association with the Duggar family was good the network. It was after this incident that the producers backed out of 19 Kids and Counting, which resulted in the show’s cancellation.
TLC, however, went ahead to pick up the spin-off Jill & Jessa: Counting On. This series brought the Duggars back on the television screen. With Jim and Michelle Duggar back on screen, the tabloids started to target the Duggar parents once again.
The main reason for the Duggar parents heading for a divorce would be the incident that their eldest son, Josh was involved in. Josh had agreed that he had molested underage girls. This revelation supposedly also stalled his eight-year-old marriage with his wife, Anna.
Reports suggest that the Duggar family runs on the finances from the TLC shows and the impending cancellation of Jill & Jessa: Counting On might make things bad for the whole family.
These financial problems and Jim Bob’s refusal to accept the situation have resulted in a lot of bickering with his wife Michelle Duggar and lead to the decision of the divorce.
While many believe the rumors that are circulating, stating that there can’t be so much smoke without a fire, many refuse to believe whatever the press writes. The recent wedding of Jinger Duggar and Jeremy Vuolo showed the family and they looked to be getting along very well.
For those who watched 19 Kids and Counting, the marriage episode on Counting On was an exciting one. Josh Duggar has hardly been seen in Jill & Jessa: Counting On. However, since there was a marriage in the family, Josh Duggar appeared on the TLC screen with his big smile, enjoying with the family.
