Josh Duggar‘s molestation and cheating scandals are still costing TLC.
The “19 Kids and Counting” spinoff “Jill & Jessa: Counting On” angered four advertisers after the Season 2 premiere aired on Aug. 23, InTouch Weekly reports.
Gerber Life, Trivago, Thumbtack.com and Hotwire all expressed unpleasant surprise at their ads running during the show.
“Hotwire’s ads appear on many cable networks including AMC, Bravo, HGTV, TNT, TBS, USA as well as TLC Network. While we are able to select which cable networks air our ads, we do not select the specific shows,” a rep for Hotwire said. “After further consideration we have decided to remove this network from our plan.”
Gerber Life announced in a statement, “The Gerber Life ad was inadvertently shown during the premiere of ‘Counting On.’ We have been assured that Gerber Life ads will no longer be shown during this program.”
Trivago and Thumbtack.com both noted that their ad purchases were not for particular time slots or programs on the network.
In May 2015, it was revealed that Josh was accused of molesting five minors when he was 15 years old, including his own sisters. Months later, he entered rehab for sex addiction after the Ashley Madison hack revealed that he had cheated on his wife, Anna.
