‘Counting On’ Jim Bob Duggar Faces A Cash Crisis?

Counting On and 19 Kids and Counting alum Jim Bob Duggar lost income from TLC thanks to Josh Duggar. And, it happened twice. The first time, it happened when the news arrived that he had molested some of his sisters.

The second time came after Josh was arrested and found guilty of possessing child pornography. Now, insiders suggest that the family is feeling the pinch and a crash crisis looms.

Jim Bob Duggar Paid Josh Duggar’s Legal Fees?

Josh took his case to trial and that’s not cheap when it comes to financing a legal team. Subsequent appeals also cost a lot of money. TLC fans can only presume that his dad helped to fork out that funding for his oldest son. 

Jim Bob Duggar isn’t likely to land any new reality TV shows. After all, even if he did, who would watch it? Many people seem to have lost interest in watching the girls fall pregnant and have more babies. And, hardly anyone is rooting to see more of the patriarch on a Counting On sort of show. 

Counting On Family Is Facing A Cash Crisis?

TLC fans are aware that the Duggar family is involved in flipping homes and renovations. In fact, there is good money to be made. But the family is very close-knit. If, for example, Jason Duggar loses the lawsuit for allegedly contracting for work fraudulently, who will pay for those lawyers and potentially, a bad outcome?

According to a source who spoke with InTouch Weekly, there is some sort of cash crisis looming for the family. The outlet reported that Jim Bob Duggar’s family is not in a good place financially. They cited their informant as saying:

Their savings aren’t limitless and not much is coming in. And there’s little hope of any of them ever getting another reality show.

TLC Fans React To The News

When InTouch Weekly shared the news on Instagram, Counting On fans took to the comments to discuss the new information. Here are some of their comments:

• I am sure they are doing okay still don’t they have cell towers are their land that they rent out?
• Oh freaking boohoo
• I guess the whole buy used and save the difference thing didn’t really work out for them that well after all.
• Time for michelle to be putting in some applications.
• Yet on his show he lectured so much about financial responsibility and always stretching a dollar so you have money….Hmm…
