Michelle Duggar responded to 19 Kids & Counting's cancellation Thursday.

The 48-year-old reality star issued a statement on her family's website after TLC confirmed the series will be canceled. The network announced the news earlier in the day, nearly two months after it was revealed Duggar's eldest son, Josh Duggar, molested five girls as a teenager.

Josh Duggar admitted to the abuse after a police report surfaced in May, and subsequently resigned from his position at the Family Research Council. Sisters Jill Duggar and Jessa Duggar were among the victims, and defended their brother amid the public outcry.

19 Kids & Counting premiered in 2008, and followed Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar and their 19 children. The family will partner with TLC and victims' rights groups RAINN and Darkness to Light on a one-hour documentary about abuse to air later this summer.

Josh Duggar married wife Anna Duggar in 2008, and the couple welcomed their first child, daughter Mackynzie, in 2009. Sons Michael and Marcus followed in 2011 and 2013, and Anna Duggar is currently past due with her fourth child.
