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.
