Hulu appears to have removed "19 Kids and Counting" following star Josh Duggar's admission that he acted "inexcusably" as a teenager in response to reports that he molested underage girls, including some of his sisters.

Episodes were available on Wednesday, and while they will appear when searched for, users of the streaming service will be greeted with a "404" error message when they try to watch them.

Hulu did not immediately respond to TheWrap's request for comment.

The move is just one development in a continuing fallout. Several companies, including General Mills and Walgreens, have removed their advertising from the show in response to the scandal.

The reality series has also been pulled from TLC's schedule.

In a statement on Friday, the network said that it is "deeply saddened and troubled by this heartbreaking situation, and our thoughts and prayers are with the family and victims at this difficult time."
