Why Did Jill Duggar’s Husband Get Fired From Counting On?

The Duggars spoilers and updates tease that Jill Duggar’s husband, Derick Dillard, was let go from the show Counting On for a reason.

TLC fired Dillard from the show because of his offensive comments about the transition of Jazz Jennings.

“We want to let our viewers know that Derick Dillard has not participated in ‘Counting On’ for months, and the network has no plans to feature him in the future,” TLC said in a statement.

“We want to reiterate that Derick’s personal statements do not reflect the views of the network. TLC is proud to share the story of Jazz Jennings and her family and will continue to do so,” as per the statement.
