It's almost two weeks have passed when the scandal of Josh Duggar hit the roof, and now Jim Bob together with his wife Michelle Duggar has been interviewed with Megyn Kelly of Fox News Channel last June 3.
When the interviewed has been aired on Wednesday evening, talks have escalated picking on the parenting skills and how the parents dealt the incident that happened when Josh was still a teenager.
Tom Kludt and Brian Stelter of CNN shared in that report the thoughts of Atty Lisa Bloom. She said, "What was just sad to me... was how willfully ignorant the Duggar parents are about child sexual abuse, they don't seem to have educated themselves then or now about the facts." In addition, their article published in the CNN website also generated comments from the readers. Josh Duggar molestation case absolutely would not gain sympathizers, not for him and not for his parents as well.
CNN said that when the Duggars granted the interview, they must have thought of their fans and the TLC Executives who fund and produce "19 Kids and Counting" reality show. It is quite obvious that their reputation is at stake including the future of their hit show, which now depends on the response of the people to their interview.
The Wrap also reported that after the Fox News Interview with Megyn Kelly was aired, there are still 9 big questions continuouly lingering. Two of those major questions are: Will "19 Kids and Counting" finally be canceled? Will TLC change its programming and vetting practices as a result of the scandal?
The wrap said that TLC has yet to withdraw the reality show of the Duggars though the Discovery Communication Channel pulled it from its program quite suddenly. Consequently, the well-liked show was also been moved from platforms like in Hulu. At present, TLC has not released an official statement on what to do with the "19 Kids and Counting". Kelly told The Wrap prior to her big interview with the Duggar couple that she doesn't know what the TLC will decide "because it's a big moneymaker for them and it's only getting more popular ... This case is more complicated than at first it appears."
The USA Today also released a timeline of Josh Duggar's sexual abuse allegation which was from InTouch. The USA Today also revealed the specific advertisers that withdraw on the show. These are Choice Hotels, Payless Shoes, and Walgreens.
In closing, though haters have feasted the scandal of Josh Duggar, there are also people who have seriously contemplated on this molestation issue. This whole fiasco that "19 Kids and Counting" Family is facing is far from over. There might be more revelations and even accusations that will arise as the day goes.
