Hulu Drops 19 Kids and Counting Amidst Duggar Scandal
Subscribers now see a 404 page where the show used to be
It's another rough day for the Duggars.
Ever since the 2006 police report came to light that showed Josh Duggar molested his sisters, the family has been under fire from... well, just about everyone. TLC has pulled 19 Kids and Countingfrom their lineup, though it hasn't been canceled yet.
Previously, Hulu subscribers could watch full episodes of the reality show, which has been on the air since 2008. But on Thursday, Hulu subscribers could no longer access the show on the site: It takes you to a 404 error page.
Is a 19 Kids and Counting spinoff in the works?
Hulu didn't release a press statement or publicly comment about dropping the Duggars, but USA Today reports the streaming video service had received lots of messages asking them to stop hosting the show.As of Thursday afternoon, messages were stacking up on Hulu's Facebook page applauding their decision.
Thank you for doing the right thing and dumping 19kids.... wish TLC would get the message already.

Thank you Hulu for doing the right thing and ending the streaming of 19 Kids and Counting. No one needs to support child abusers.

Hulu isn't the only big company taking a stand against the Duggars. Advertisers have been dropping like flies in the last week.
And the bad news kept coming for the Evangelical clan: Their pal Rick Santorum told ABC News on Thursday Morning that he was "sickened" by the molestation allegations.
"I was sickened by it. I was just sickened by it," Santorum said. "I pray for those girls in particular. ... To have gone through that is ... just hard to think about."
Santorum was just one of the many, many conservative presidential contenders Josh Duggar has been photographed with over the years. At least they've still got Mike Huckabee!
Do you think Hulu made the right call pulling the show?
