Josh Duggar on Child Molestation Report: ‘I Acted Inexcusably’; TLC Pulls Show

Reality TV star Josh Duggar issued an apology Thursday after reports surfaced that he allegedly molested girls as a teenager, saying: “I acted inexcusably.”

Duggar, 27, is the oldest of the children who appear on TLC’s hit show “19 Kids and Counting.” The Duggars are known for being devout Christians who don’t believe in practicing birth control and whose children follow strict courtship rules.

TLC pulled all episodes of the show currently set to air, according to Shannon Llanes, a spokeswoman for the network.

The network had already replaced several scheduled repeats of “19 Kids and Counting” with “The Little People.”

“Twelve years ago, as a young teenager I acted inexcusably for which I am extremely sorry and deeply regret. I hurt others, including my family and close friends,” Josh Duggar said in a post on Facebook. (Read more from “Josh Duggar on Child Molestation Report: ‘I Acted Inexcusably'” HERE)
