A 2022 report from Radar states Discovery released a statement regarding the allegations and said: “We’ve been made aware of this issue. Josh will not appear in future episodes of this series.”

Harris served nine months in prison. As part of his sentencing, he reportedly took part in a psychosexual exam.
