With the dust from the Duggar family scandal finally settled, it seems like the controversy involving Josh Duggar has cost them more than just no longer being the top reality show on TLC.

According to Life and Style, aside from the $45,000 per episode deal they have with the network, other appearances for the family have also stopped. Branding Expert and Strategic Vision CEO, David Johnson, was quick to point out the following,

"With the show, royalties, sponsorships and speaking engagements ending, the Duggars could be losing $25 million or more a year. Josh is so radioactive right now, no one's going to touch him."

Since the suspension of the popular show, some of the Duggars have decided to distance themselves and slowly move on with their lives. Jill Duggar has moved to South America with husband, Derick Dillard and son, Israel. The family is there for missionary work.

While Jessa Duggar is expecting her first child with Ben Seewald on November. Jessa has been very active on social media to update her fans and to occasionally post pictures of her, as well as her baby bump. However, IBTimes has reported that the reality star is not planning on revealing the gender of their baby just yet.

Meanwhile, Josh Duggar has just announced the birth of their fourth child, Meredith Grace.

Furthermore, cousin Amy Duggar has also shared some good news through her social media sites and revealed that she is now engaged.

The family has been under fire since Josh Duggar was involved in a controversy. And now that the show is cancelled, news reports say that TLC is going to produce a documentary on the subject and has even elicited the help of Josh's sisters, Jill and Jessa Duggar, both of whom were reported to be involved with the issue.
