"Here Comes Honey Boo Boo's" Mama June has been calling for the cancellation of "19 Kids and Counting" ever since the Josh Duggar molestation scandal was publicized. Though she finally got her wish now with news of "19 Kids and Counting" cancelled, TMZ reported that Mama June thinks TLC has not done enough.

Mama June is angry. She wants TLC to just cut all its ties with the Duggars. Apparently, even though "19 Kids and Counting" had already been cancelled, the Duggars are getting a docu-special on child sexual abuse. Duggar parents Jill and Jessa will be interviewed for the one-hour documentary. TLC is producing the docu-special in conjunction with "Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network" (RAINN) and "Darkness to Light," two victim's rights groups, reported Time.

"Together, we believe we can help families that have been affected by this terrible crime and make sure that parents and others have the knowledge and tools they need to help keep kids safe," RAINN stated Thursday.

However, Mama June does not approve of simply getting "19 Kids and Counting" cancelled. She doesn't want the documentary for the Duggars.

"I feel it will be another situation for them to get paid for doing something bad," said Mama June. "Like, that kinda behavior is not okay."

"Here Comes Honey Boo Boo," the reality show where Mama June starred in last year, was cancelled by TLC following reports that Mama June dated a man who was sent to jail for eight years for child sexual abuse. One of the man's victims was Mama June's eldest daughter, according to The Inquisitr.

On Thursday, the Duggars released a lengthy statement.

"With God's grace and help, Josh, our daughters and our entire family overcame a terrible situation, found healing and a way forward. We are so pleased with the wonderful adults they have all become," the family wrote on their website, reported Us Weekly.

"It is our prayer that the painful situation our family went through many years ago can point people toward faith in God and help others who also have lived through similar dark situations to find help, hope and healing, as well," continued the statement.

"Years ago, when we were asked to film our first one hour documentary about the logistics of raising 14 children, we felt that it was an opportunity to share with the world that children are a blessing and a gift from God. . . .We appreciate the love, support, prayers and kindness extended to us by many of you," they added. "You have deeply touched our hearts and encouraged us, during this time."

The Duggar family also brought up the "upcoming special documentary" on TLC tackling the child molestation scandal their family had been involved in, reported People.

Despite "19 Kids and Counting" cancelled, the show had a good run at the height of its popularity. The show was TLC's most watched, with viewers per new episode in season 10 averaging 2.3 million. The show also reportedly scored as well in the Nielsen's Cable Top 25 in 2015, according to Zap2it's TV By the Numbers.
