TLC Airs '19 Kids And Counting' Marathon Amid Child Molestation Allegations

TLC Airs '19 Kids And Counting' Marathon Amid Child Molestation Scandal

UPDATE: TLC declined to comment to The Huffington Post on the "19 Kids and Counting" marathon that aired on May 21, nor would they comment on whether they plan to cancel the series.

EARLIER: On Thursday, "19 Kids and Counting" star Josh Duggar apologized after allegations of child molestation surfaced, and resigned from his position as executive director of the conservative and anti-gay group Family Research Council Action.

That night, TLC -- who has aired the Duggar family's reality series since 2008 -- was running a "19 Kids and Counting" marathon:

The tone deaf move did not go unnoticed:

Real classy @TLC, airing a 19 Kids and Counting marathon tonight. Nice work.
