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.
