Oh, never mind that Josh Duggar molestation scandal! While network TLC may have temporarily pulled their terrible fake-Christian reality show 19 Kids and Counting off the air, they still haven't cancelled it completely—even though their biggest advertisers (including Walgreens and Payless) are dropping like flies. And even worse? TLC is now reportedly planning a spin-off show! From Us magazine:

...cast members Jessa Duggar and her husband Ben Seewald, as well as Jill Duggar and her husband Derick Dillard, are in talks for their own TLC spinoff.

"[TLC has] invested a lot of time in developing these story lines and the last thing they want to do is to throw it all away,” a source tells Us of the controversial Christian family’s show, adding that Josh, however, will not be a part of any filming.

For those who are too revolted by the show to watch it, Jill and Derick are best known as the married couple who never even hugged or kissed before their wedding.

In other Duggar news, remember papa Jim Bob Duggar saying he had informed a state trooper about Josh molesting those girls, and both agreed not to press charges but to simply "scare him straight"? The state trooper—who's currently in jail serving time for child pornography (!!!!)—is denying parts of Jim Bob's story. From USA Today:

[Ex-state trooper Joseph Hutchens] maintains that Jim Bob and Josh Duggar told him Josh had inappropriately touched one girl through her clothing while she slept. They said "it only happened one time," the former state trooper told In Touch.

Hutchens told In Touch that the Duggars' original account of the incident played a part in his decision not to report the alleged abuse.

"I did what I thought was right and obviously it wasn't," he told In Touch. "If I had to do it over again, I would have told him immediately I am going to call the hotline and contacted the trooper that worked those cases and have a full report made. I thought I could handle it myself.

"I have lost a lot of sleep over it. I am a Christian myself and I worry that something else may have happened," he says. "I would be responsible for it, in my opinion, by not reporting it. The young girl should have been my first priority."

YEEEEEEEEEESH. This story is far from over.
