Fans are aware that Counting On was the sequel of 19 Kids And Counting. Back in 2015, TLC dragged down 19 Kids And Counting because of Josh Duggar’s news of molesting five minor females. And once again, the show got canceled for almost the same reason, in fact, the bigger reason. And with this, the Duggar family is losing out “$850K a year.” Well, that’s a considerable amount that the Duggar clan is missing. Scroll on to know the details.
Counting On: The Duggars Are Losing $850K A Year
The Duggar family has been caught up in the most vicious scandal. Josh Duggar went behind bars in April for a child abuse case. Well, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar knew what their son was capable of. However, they never thought that their show would be affected by any of Josh Duggar’s doings. Jim and Michelle believed that the show would not be canceled despite seeing all the negative waves. Surprisingly, TLC decided to go down with Counting On once and for all. And as per fans, that’s the most positive decision TLC took. Meanwhile, the Duggars are still in shock with the cancelation news.
Also, in order to cover up their son’s sin, Jim and Michelle released a confrontation on their official site speaking of how grateful they are towards TLC. However, they didn’t mention the relation of the show’s cancelation with Josh’s child abuse case. Duggars thought that Counting On would continue to go on because Josh Duggar was not featured on the show. But surprisingly, TLC went off the line and decided to go against the Duggar family. As per The Sun‘s report, the Duggar family is losing out $850k a year with the show’s cancelation. The numbers might have shocked you. But that’s what reality is.
Counting On: Jim Bob Faces The Huge Loss Amidst Cancellation
Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar are the ones suffering the great loss with the cancelation of the show. As per the reports, each family was roughly paid an amount of “$80K for each chunk of filming.” And, the average sum total of the family becomes $850K a series. Well, that was a huge amount. The insider added, “I think a lot of people will be shocked to learn they were earning that much, and it all went to Jim Bob…”
This is known to all Counting On fans that the entire amount was handed to Jim Bob. He then distributed the income to each member of the family. What Jim Bob got and what he paid to each had a huge gap in between. There were often arguments about payments. Many Duggar members even raised their voices against Jim Bob. Well, the same process of payment continued till the show was on TLC.
Jim Bob and Michelle are the ones who will bear the great loss amidst the cancelation of the show. The insider reported that some Duggar members are glad that the show has been pulled down by the platform. As per the insider, “Some family members are glad TLC pulled the plug so they can go off on their own and manage their own money.” However, Jim Bob is pissed at this because he has just lost a huge income source. Let us wait to see whether they will ever get a chance to have another source of income or not.
