Massive Scandals That Rocked Hallmark Channel

It's no wonder that Hallmark is the channel marketed toward wholesomeness. Prior to its official launch in 2001, the network was owned and operated by a number of faith-based companies. Today, although its programming isn't specifically religious, the Hallmark Channel is known for its feel-good family films that mostly take place around Christmas. It's become the go-to network for suburban moms in need of a winter wonderland escape. But not everything is as squeaky-clean as it might seem on the surface. From dramatic lawsuits to the fight for diversity, these are the massive scandals that rocked Hallmark Channel hard, really hard.
