As Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar prepare to address allegations that their oldest son molested girls; critics question the impact of the upcoming interview on the family’s public future.
TLC, which is owned by Discovery Communications, pulled all episodes of “19 Kids and Counting” last month after reports surfaced that Josh Duggar molested underage girls when he was a teenager.
He has never been arrested or charged for his actions.
Experts expect the interview with Fox News host Megyn Kelly could offer TLC the chance to gauge viewer interest for future programming with the family.
Since the revelations, many advertisers, including food company General Mills Inc and retailer Walgreen Co, pulled out of the network’s top rated show.
