  • Josh Duggar: Parents Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar Allude to “Sexual Sins” in Birthday Message to Disgraced “19 Kids and Counting” Star

    Josh Duggar turned 28 on Thursday, and parents Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar posted a birthday message to the disgraced 19 Kids and Counting star. The message alluded to the “sexual sins” he committed that led to the cancellation of the family’s reality show and nearly cost him his marriage.

    Taking to social media, the Duggar parents posted their wishes to Josh Duggar on their Facebook page.

    Today is our son Josh’s birthday. The heartache of the past year cannot surpass the joy 28 years ago on this day when we…

    Posted by Duggar Family Official on Thursday, March 3, 2016

    It was back in August when Josh Duggar checked into a Christian rehab facility in Illinois–Reformers Unanimous–where he remains today. While there, the eldest of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar’s 19 children is receiving therapy for his sexual sins. Just before entering the facility, Josh Duggar was outed in the Ashley Madison cheater’s website hack. He then admitted to cheating on wife Anna Duggar, and to having a penchant for pornography.

    Months earlier it was determined Josh Duggar had sexually molested several underage girls while he was a teenager. Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar no doubt played a big role in sweeping those incidents under the rug. Jill Duggar Dillard and Jessa Duggar Seewald–two of Josh’s sisters–acknowledged they were molested by their brother.

    It’s uncertain what–if anything–Josh Duggar did on Thursday to celebrate his 28th birthday, but there are many people who believe he should stay right where he is and never re-enter society.

    Even though Josh Duggar cost the family their 19 Kids and Counting reality show, TLC has announced an upcoming season of a new Duggar reality show. Jill and Jessa: Counting On stars Jill and Jessa Duggar, along with siblings Jinger, Joy Anna, and Jana Duggar, and sister-in-law Anna Duggar. Josh Duggar and his parents are conspicuously absent from the new show.

    Does it surprise you that Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar wish Josh Duggar a happy birthday on social media, rather than privately noting their son’s big day? It’s no doubt part of their belief in forgiveness, no matter the severity of the crime.

  • Josh Duggar Won’t Appear in New Episodes of TLC’s “Jill and Jessa: Counting On”

    Josh Duggar will be conspicuously absent from new episodes of TLC’s Jill and Jessa: Counting On, when it returns on March 15. Even though Josh’s wife, Anna Duggar, will join Jill Duggar Dillard, Jessa Duggar Seewald, and John David, Josiah, Joseph, Joy Anna, Jinger, and Jana Duggar in the new episodes the network has ordered, Josh Duggar will only be alluded to in comments about how much the Duggar family suffered in 2015.

    The Duggar family starred in TLC’s hit show 19 Kids and Counting for several years before the media caught wind last spring about Josh Duggar having sexually molested five underage girls when he was a teenager. Two of those girls were sisters Jill and Jessa Duggar. Although it has never been confirmed, it is expected that Jana and Jinger Duggar were victimized by Josh Duggar, too. The fifth victim was a non-family member.

    Because of the Josh Duggar molestations, as well as Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar’s alleged attempts to keep the incidents swept under the proverbial rug, TLC cancelled 19 Kids and Counting.

    This past summer, Josh Duggar was outed in the Ashley Madison cheater’s website hack, after which he admitted he cheated on wife Anna Duggar with a former porn star. He also admitted to having an addiction to pornography.

    While it didn’t seem likely after that news hit the media, TLC wanted Jill Duggar Dillard and Jessa Duggar Seewald back. They drew the most fans during the last year or two that 19 Kids and Counting aired. The network created Jill and Jessa: Counting On, originally airing three special episodes in December. Now it seems Jill and Jessa: Counting On is coming back, with several new episodes on tap.

    The show will pick up approximately three months after Jessa Duggar and husband Ben Seewald welcomed baby boy Spurgeon into their world. It will also chronicle some of Jill Duggar and hubby Derick Dillard’s time in El Salvador as Christian missionaries, along with their little boy, Israel.

    It’s interesting to note, that in addition to Josh Duggar’s absence, fans aren’t likely to see Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar on Jill and Jessa: Counting On. Even some of the family’s fans can’t condone their actions, or lack thereof.

    Will you be tuning in to see Jill Duggar Dillard, Jessa Duggar Seewald, Anna Duggar, and more of the former 19 Kids and Counting family when Jill and Jessa: Counting On returns to TLC?

  • Jessa Duggar Seewald Speed-Walked Through Much of Her Labor, Highlighted on “Jill & Jessa: Counting On”

    Jessa Duggar Seewald and her labor and delivery are highlighted in Sunday’s upcoming episode of Jill & Jessa: Counting On. The former 19 Kids and Counting star used a rather unique method to kick her labor into high gear. Once it was determined Jessa Duggar was in labor, the 23-year-old speed-walked to keep labor active and urge their baby along.

    Entertainment Tonight reports the method involved many of Jessa’s family members, too.

    “If you’re going to try to have a baby, just do it,” Jessa says in a preview clip of Sunday’s show that was provided to ET. “I mean, don’t mosey on down the trail at a snail’s pace! Power walk it. Walk the baby out!”

    Surrounded by some of her family members, Jessa Duggar Seewald power-walked–and then she power-walked some more. When she finally returned home, it was time to deliver her baby boy.

    Jessa Duggar Seewald and hubby Ben Seewald welcomed Spurgeon Elliot Seewald on November 5–one day after Jessa’s birthday, and four days after her November 1 due date. Spurgeon weighed in at an impressive nine pounds, 11 ounces, and he measured 21 1/4 inches in length. As fans will see on Jill & Jessa: Counting On, Jessa Duggar was transported to the hospital by ambulance following Spurgeon’s birth. Mom Michelle Duggar called 911, and told the dispatcher Jessa was bleeding excessively after delivering her baby.

    Have you been following Jill and Jessa Duggar in Jill & Jessa: Counting On? The show is rumored to be TLC’s way of bringing the Duggar family–recently shamed by eldest son Josh Duggar–back to viewers without featuring the man who caused the cancellation of 19 Kids and Counting. Josh Duggar sexually molested five underage girls when he was a teenager. Jill and Jessa Duggar admitted to being–and sisters Jinger and Jana Duggar were purportedly among–his victims. This summer, following the cancellation of 19 Kids and Counting, Josh Duggar was outed during the Ashley Madison website hack. It was determined he had two accounts on the cheater’s website. He then admitted to wife Anna Duggar he had cheated on her. He also admitted to an addiction to pornography. A porn star has filed a lawsuit against Josh Duggar, claiming he was violent during sex.

    Fans can see Jessa Duggar Seewald’s labor and birth story–and her penchant for power-walking–on Sunday night’s episode of Jill & Jessa: Counting On. It airs on TLC at 9 p.m. ET.

  • Tim Tebow: Did Olivia Culpo Dump Former NfL Star Because He Wouldn’t Engage in Premarital Sex?

    Tim Tebow: Did Olivia Culpo Dump Former NfL Star Because He Wouldn’t Engage in Premarital Sex?

    Tim Tebow is a devout Christian, and part of engaging in a devout Christian lifestyle involves a vow of chastity prior to marriage. Now sources are claiming Olivia Culpo dumped Tim Tebow because he wouldn’t engage in premarital sex.

    According to the New York Daily News, “He was really into her. He was sending her love letters and cute notes and professing his love for her…She had to break up with him because she just couldn’t handle it. He still hits her up, but she just can’t deal with the sex thing. He’s pretty adamant about it.”

    A source tells E! News, however, that the split had nothing to do with Tim Tebow’s vow of chastity. They also report that the split was a mutual and amicable one.

    Tim Tebow isn’t the only person from the NFL world to abstain from sex before marriage. Russell Wilson and singer Ciara Harris won’t be having sexual relations until they get married either.

    “We’re not going to be perfect, by any means. But He’s anointed both of us and He’s calling for us to do something special,” Wilson said in a recent interview.

    Like Tim Tebow, Russell Wilson has suffered much ridicule for his devout lifestyle.

    Tim Tebow was allegedly seeing former 19 Kids and Counting star Jana Duggar prior to dating Olivia Culpo, but that was never confirmed. He certainly wouldn’t have run into abstinence being a problem with Jana Duggar.

    While it remains uncertain whether Olivia Culpo and Tim Tebow were even exclusively dating or if they split up because of his no premarital sex beliefs, the two are reportedly on good terms.

    Since neither side is talking, this may be all fans ever get to know.

  • Josh Duggar: Disgraced “19 Kids and Counting” Star Wants to Renew His and Anna Duggar’s Wedding Vows

    Josh Duggar, the disgraced former 19 Kids and Counting star, claims he wants to renew the wedding vows he and wife Anna Duggar took several years back. Following two sex scandals in a very short period of time, it seems Josh Duggar is trying everything he can to save his marriage.

    “[Josh] wants to a have an elaborate ceremony as soon as he gets out of rehab,” a source close to the Duggar family tells HollywoodLife.com. When Josh completes his rehab program for those with “sexual sins,” he wants to “make it a really special occasion for Anna.”

    There’s been no word on how Anna Duggar feels about all this. It’s been painful and exhausting for Anna, who was pregnant with their fourth child when Josh Duggar cheated on her with a porn star. Anna learned at about the same time that Josh had two accounts on the cheater’s website Ashley Madison. Josh Duggar also admitted to a pornography addiction.

    Since Josh Duggar has been at the faith based Reformers Unanimous, Anna Duggar has been a single mom. She spent some time in Florida with her parents. When back in Arkansas she has had some help from mother-in-law Michelle Duggar and sister-in-law Jessa Duggar Seewald.

    Josh Duggar first came under fire–as did parents Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, for the way they handled the situation–when he admitted to having sexually molested five underage girls. Four of those girls were his sisters. Jill Duggar Dillard and Jessa Duggar Seewald admit they were victimized by Josh Duggar. Due to their ages, it is expected that Jana Duggar and Jinger Duggar are the other two siblings sexually molested by Josh Duggar.

    Do you expect Anna Duggar will go along with Josh Duggar’s supposed plan to renew their wedding vows?

    Could you renew wedding vows if your spouse cheated with a porn star?

  • Jessa Seewald: The Countdown to Baby “Quincy” is On as Former “19 Kids and Counting” Star Prepares to Give Birth

    Jessa Seewald is counting down the last few days until she and hubby Ben Seewald welcome baby “Quincy” into their lives. That isn’t the baby’s actual name, however. The former 19 Kids and Counting couple jokingly referred to their unborn baby as “Q” for a while. From that it evolved into Quincy.”

    November 1st is Jessa Duggar Seewald’s due date, and that is also the day she and Ben will celebrate their one-year wedding anniversary. Just three days after that, Jessa Duggar turns 23. The Duggar family will soon have lots to celebrate.

    That’s no doubt a welcome change, as the Duggars have endured months of turmoil. Their 19 Kids and Counting show was cancelled by TLC after the media learned eldest son Josh Duggar had sexually molested five underage girls when he was a teen. Four of the girls he molested are Duggar siblings. Jill Duggar Dillard and Jessa Seewald admit they are among his victims. Due to their ages, it is expected that Jana Duggar and Jinger Duggar were sexually molested by Josh Duggar, too. One unrelated girl–a babysitter in the 19 Kids and Counting household–was also victimized.

    Not long after 19 Kids and Counting was cancelled, Josh Duggar drove a nail in his coffin yet again, with the discovery of his two Ashley Madison accounts. He was outed when the cheater’s website was hacked this summer. Shortly thereafter he admitted to having cheated on wife Anna Duggar, and to having an addiction to pornography.

    With Josh Duggar tucked away in rehab (for his sexual sins) and Anna Duggar staying with her parents in Florida, things are relatively peaceful for the Duggar clan right now. TLC cameras have returned–to the home of Ben and Jessa Seewald–to film three upcoming specials. Jill & Jessa: Counting On will concentrate on the two Duggar sisters and their families. Their cameras were rolling last weekend for Jessa Seewald’s baby shower. Rumor has it the show could become a 19 Kids and Counting spinoff if all goes well with these three specials. The new show has likely provided some much-needed joy for the Duggar family.

    Jessa Seewald only has six days to go until her baby is due. Since Jill Duggar Dillard just returned to Central America to serve as a missionary, it doesn’t seem she will be home for the baby’s arrival. Some had wondered if she might deliver Jessa Seewald’s baby, since she is a midwife, but certainly other plans are in place.

    Are you excited to learn what Ben and Jessa Seewald name their baby, and whether they have a boy or a girl?

  • Josh Duggar: Sisters Break Down Over His Sex Scandals in New Show Promo

    Josh Duggar is still the source of much anguish in the former 19 Kids and Counting family. In a promo for an upcoming three-part TLC special featuring sisters Jill Duggar Dillard and Jessa Duggar Seewald, some of that pain is very plain to see.

    Jill & Jessa: Counting On is set to air in December, and depending on ratings, could in fact become a 19 Kids and Counting spinoff. In the promo clip, Jill and Jessa break down in tears, and while they don’t refer to Josh Duggar by name, it’s clear he is the source of their pain.

    Josh Duggar sexually molested five underage girls when he was a teen. Two of those girls are his sisters, Jill and Jessa. Given their ages at the time, most suspect Jana Duggar and Jinger Duggar were molested at the hands of Josh Duggar, too, as well as a non-related young woman.

    Josh Duggar’s actions–as well as the way 19 Kids and Counting parents Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar handled the situation–are the reason TLC cancelled the family’s reality show.

    Yet another sex scandal rocked the Duggar family this summer. Josh Duggar was outed following the hacking of the cheater’s website, Ashley Madison. It was determined that Josh Duggar had two accounts. He admitted shortly thereafter–and likely only because he’d been caught–to having an addiction to pornography and to cheating on wife Anna Duggar.

    Anna Duggar has since packed up the couple’s four children–the youngest of whom she was pregnant with when Josh cheated on her–and moved to Florida where she is staying with her parents. Some sources say she is considering divorcing Josh Duggar.

    Meanwhile, Josh Duggar is in Illinois, at a faith based rehab called Reformers Unanimous, where he is getting help for his “sexual sins.”

    Do you think too much water has flowed underneath that proverbial Duggar bridge for TLC to create a 19 Kids and Counting spinoff from Jill & Jessa: Counting On? Or does the Duggar family have plenty of support despite Josh Duggar’s actions–enough support to provide plenty of viewers for a new Duggar TV show?

  • Olivia Culpo and Tim Tebow? Are They Dating?

    Olivia Culpo and Tim Tebow are reportedly dating, and have been for about a month. A new report links the former Miss Universe, who split from Nick Jonas this summer, with the devout Christian football star. Olivia Culpo and Nick Jonas were together for two years.

    “Tim and Olivia are dating but trying to keep out of the public eye as much as they can,” a source says. “Olivia had a hard time after the break up with Nick Jonas but took time for herself and focused on work and is in a great place now.”

    “She is very open to getting to know Tim and exploring the chance of something more with him,” the source adds. “She is really attracted to Tim’s personality. They are having a great time with each other and are looking to spend more time once the football season slows down. Olivia is excited whats developing as they get to know each other more.”

    Tim Tebow is said to be “enjoying getting to know” Olivia Culpo.

    “It’s really easy for him to talk to her,” the source told E! News. “He thinks she is beyond beautiful as well. Things are new for them and exciting—it’s only been about a month.”

    What’s your take on this dating rumor? Tim Tebow is dashingly handsome, but has made it abundantly clear in the past that his faith rules his life. He doesn’t believe in things like sex before marriage.

    Of course it wasn’t so long ago that the Jonas Brothers–including Olivia Culpo’s ex–claimed to have similar beliefs.

    Tim Tebow was once rumored to have been dating former 19 Kids and Counting star Jana Duggar, but that was never confirmed.

    Do you see a future for Olivia Culpo and Tim Tebow or is she simply nursing her wounds from her summer split?

  • Amy Duggar King: What Must Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar Think of Her Sexy Bikini Honeymoon Shots?

    Amy Duggar King is on her honeymoon in Mexico with new hubby Dillon King. What must her aunt and uncle, former 19 Kids and Counting stars Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar think of the sexy bikini shots the paparazzi have captured?

    Amy Duggar and Dillon King got married a week ago Sunday in Arkansas, with most of the 19 Kids and Counting family in attendance. Amy has always known of her aunt and uncle’s strict brand of patriarchal Christianity, but sees herself as a different type of Christian. While Amy Duggar firmly believes that Jesus Christ is her savior, she doesn’t adhere to the strict dress code or forbiddance of alcohol the other part of her Duggar family follows quite strictly.

    In fact, Amy has been spotted in both a very sexy bikini and enjoying alcoholic beverages while on her honeymoon.

    Amy Duggar was very open prior to her wedding about the fact that cousin Josh Duggar wouldn’t be attending her nuptials. Josh is in a faith-based rehab seeking treatment for his “sexual sins.” His wife, Anna Duggar, whom he admits to having cheated on, was at the wedding.

    What must the Duggar family think of Amy’s bikini? When the 19 Kids and Counting girls–Jill Duggar Dillard, Jessa Duggar Seewald, Jana Duggar, etc., go swimming, they wear long board shorts or swim dresses. They must look at Amy Duggar and think she’s practically naked.

  • Jana Duggar: Is Josh Duggar’s Sexual Molestation the Reason She Hasn’t Found Love?

    Jana Duggar is 25, beautiful, and single. Pictures of the former 19 Kids and Counting star are almost haunting in a way. There’s a look in Jana Duggar’s eyes that leaves one wondering if she is bearing too many burdens–or the scars of her younger life.

    On Sunday, Jana joined many of her siblings in wishing mom Michelle Duggar a happy birthday. In it, she says she wants to be just like Michelle.

    Sadly, Jana Duggar is already like her mom in some ways. She is repressed. She lives under the Christian patriarchy rule of Jim Bob Duggar. And given Jana’s age at the time the sexual molestations took place, she is likely one of brother Josh Duggar’s victims.

    Is Jana Duggar single because of what Josh Duggar did to her? If Josh never received clinical counseling for his “sexual sins,” as the Duggars refer to his past and more recent actions (his addiction to pornography, sex with a porn star, cheating on wife Anna Duggar), then Jana likely didn’t either. She may be harboring unhealthy body image issues because of being sexually molested.

    Surely Jana Duggar loves her mom and believes she wants to be just like her, but part of that longing could stem from never having seen anything else. Girls in the Duggar household don’t move out until they get married. And how do they meet a man without getting out from under the family fold?

    It was almost a year ago when Jana Duggar was dubbed “Cinderella Duggar” in the media. That moniker comes from the fact that Jana has cared for children since she was about 13 years old. Check out any and all photos of Jana Duggar that were taken in the past few years, and you’ll notice she appears tired. How can she possibly try to have a life of her own if she is tasked with caring for her siblings?

    When sister Jill Duggar Dillard and hubby Derick came home from Central America to attend Amy Duggar’s wedding, Jana Duggar cared for their son Israel. Certainly she loves her nephew, but she should be doing some things on her own to create a new life for herself.

    So nice to have our sweet Dillards home for a visit. As you can see Israel has decided he loves Aunt Jana! He even got his first piano lesson!!!

    Posted by Duggar Family Official on Friday, September 4, 2015

    Sister Jessa Duggar Seewald is expecting her first baby on November 1st. Will Jana Duggar play nursemaid to her as well?

    There is likely some very deep-seated reason that Jana Duggar hasn’t left the 19 Kids and Counting fold. Do you expect Josh Duggar’s sexual molestation played a role in her present state, or is she so firmly entrenched in her family’s Christian philosophy that she believes she can’t do anything without a husband by her side?

  • Josh Duggar: Dr. Phil McGraw Believes There’s More to Come in Disgraced Former ’19 Kids and Counting’ Star’s Sex Scandal

    Josh Duggar is reportedly receiving counseling for his “sexual sins” at a faith-based rehab center called Reformers Unanimous, located in Rockford, Illinois, in light of his most recent sex scandal. It was just a few weeks ago when the former 19 Kids and Counting star was outed during the Ashley Madison website hack. Josh admitted to having an addiction to pornography and to cheating on wife Anna Duggar following the hack attack.

    Dr. Phil McGraw joined the panel on The View on Monday. He strongly believes there’s more to come in the disgraced Duggar son’s sex scandal.

    “What I’m really concerned about with regard to that,” Dr. Phil said. “We have not seen the bottom of that yet. My dad used to say that for every rat you see, there’s 50 you don’t.”

    “To assume that everything you see is everything there is, would really be naive,” he added. “I just don’t believe that the whole truth has come out yet.”

    Dr. Phil isn’t the only one who feels this way. Just days ago a source close to the Duggar family expressed a fear that more would eventually come to light in the most recent Josh Duggar scandal.

    “It’s all so sad, and at this point, who knows what else will come to light,” the source said.

    “The molestations were completely shocking to the extended family,” the source continued. “And it really seems like Josh preyed on the girls that were quiet–girls who he maybe didn’t think would know what he was doing was wrong.”

    Sisters Jill Duggar Dillard and Jessa Duggar Seewald admit they are Josh Duggar’s victims. Given their ages at the time of the sexual molestations, many expect Jinger and Jana Duggar were his victims, too. Josh Duggar also molested one non-family member.

    Of Josh Duggar’s latest sex scandal, the source is even more dismayed.

    “He is not the person everyone thought they knew,” the source says. “Anna didn’t check up on Josh because she trusted him. When she found out about the cheating, she just cried.”

    Do you think what Dr. Phil says is likely true? Do you believe before this is all said and done that more dirt will be uncovered on Josh Duggar?

  • Michelle Duggar Lauded On Birthday by Jessa Duggar Seewald, Jill Duggar Dillard, and More

    Michelle Duggar received several video messages on Sunday in honor of her birthday. The former 19 Kids and Counting matriarch was lauded by Jessa Duggar Seewald, Jill Duggar Dillard, Jana Duggar, and more.

    The Duggar kids shared their wishes via The Duggar Family website, a site that hasn’t been the source of much happy news in recent weeks. It is through their website that Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar recently shared word of son Josh Duggar’s second fall from grace when he was outed for having two Ashley Madison accounts. Josh subsequently admitted he has an addiction to porn and that he had cheated on his wife, Anna Duggar.

    On Sunday, however, the news was good for the Duggar family, as one by one several of her children honored her with birthday wishes.

    Jessa Duggar Seewald, who is expecting her first baby with husband Ben Seewald, shared her thoughts on Michelle Duggar’s method of raising children, saying she would use some of what she learned over the years with her own family.

    Jill Duggar Dillard and hubby Derick Dillard–along with their adorable baby boy Israel–are missionaries in Central America. Recently in Arkansas for cousin Amy Duggar’s wedding, it’s uncertain if they’re in the States or back in Central America at this moment. Nonetheless, they shared warm wishes for Michelle Duggar on Sunday, too.

    Jana Duggar–often referred to as Cinderella Duggar, because she is 25, and still lives at home by Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar’s strict rules–shared her video message with 17-year-old Joy Anna Duggar.

    “You are my hero in life,” Jana says in the clip, “and I just hope to be like you someday.”

    Even former 19 Kids and Counting patriarch Jim Bob Duggar got in on the birthday message fun. He wished his wife Michelle Duggar happy birthday by calling her a “virtuous woman” with the “sweetest spirit.”

    There was no message from Josh Duggar, of course, who is squirreled away in a faith-based rehab center, where he will received some sort of counseling for his “sexual sins.”

    Anna Duggar didn’t record a message for Michelle Duggar either.

    Do you suppose that Michelle Duggar spent any part of her birthday reflecting on the present state of her family? Or is she living in a bubble that doesn’t allow her to see beyond the walls she and Jim Bob have created for the former 19 Kids and Counting gang?

  • Anna Duggar Shares Generic Wedding Message in Amy Duggar’s ‘Guest Book,’ Questioning Marriage to Josh Duggar?

    Anna Duggar has been at the center of her husband’s recent sex scandal. After he was outed by the recent Ashley Madison cheater’s website hack, the eldest of the 19 Kids and Counting brood admitted to an addiction to pornography. He also admitted to cheating on Anna Duggar.

    Attending a wedding shortly after you learn your husband cheated on you has to be devastating. Anna Duggar signed Amy Duggar’s non-traditional guest book with a rather generic message. Given her present circumstances, it’s plain to see why.

    Instead of a traditional guest book, Amy Duggar–cousin of the 19 Kids and Counting recently disgraced Duggar family–opted for Jenga blocks instead. Jenga is a game of stackable wooden blocks. Wedding guests were each asked to sign one of the blocks with a message for the new bride and groom–Amy Duggar and Dillon King.

    “So happy for you!” Anna Duggar wrote on her Jenga block.

    That’s about as generic as one can get when addressing a newlywed couple. Yet imagine how painful it must have been for Anna Duggar to attend this wedding. Watching a bride and groom vow to love and cherish one another ’til death do them part likely resonated with Anna. She was pregnant with her fourth child when she learned Josh Duggar cheated on her.

    Fortunately for Anna Duggar, she and the rest of the Duggar clan left Amy Duggar’s wedding shortly after the reception began. Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar herded their crew out the door just before the dancing and drinking commenced.

    According to the Duggar family website, Anna Duggar is receiving counseling following the devastation she has endured. Hopefully the counseling is legitimate–unlike the counseling Josh Duggar received after molesting five underage girls as a teen. Four of those girls are his own sisters. Jill Duggar Dillard and Jessa Duggar Seewald admit they were their brother’s victims. It is expected–given their ages at the time of the molestations–that Jana Duggar and Jinger Duggar were victimized, too. Josh was sent to a Christian retreat where he was supposedly counseled on sexual issues following the molestations. Clearly that counseling didn’t work, as he made headlines again for cheating on Anna–with a porn star and stripper.

    “We will be offering our love, care and devoted support to Anna and our grandchildren as she also receives counsel and help for her own heart and future,” Michelle Duggar wrote on the blog last month. “During this time we continue to look to God—He is our rock and comfort. We ask for your continued prayers for our entire family.”

    Anna Duggar needs all the help she can get. Her generic message to Amy Duggar and Dillon King indicates she is probably shutting down emotionally, in an attempt to hide her pain.

    Anna’s brother wants her to leave Josh Duggar, but that’s unlikely because of their religious beliefs.

    Do you expect while attending Amy and Dillon’s wedding that Anna Duggar at some point questioned her marriage to Josh Duggar?

  • ’19 Kids and Counting:’ Former Stars Jessa Duggar Seewald and Jill Duggar Dillard to Raise Sexual Abuse Awareness

    19 Kids and Counting was cancelled because of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar’s eldest son Josh Duggar and his sexual molestation scandal. On Sunday, former stars Jessa Duggar Seewald and Jill Duggar Dillard–two of Josh Duggar’s sexual molestation victims–appeared on a TLC special called Breaking the Silence. While on the show, the Duggar sisters said they want to raise awareness about sexual abuse.

    Josh Duggar was a teenager when he sexually molested four members of the 19 Kids and Counting family. In addition to Jill and Jessa Duggar, it is thought that sisters Jinger and Jana Duggar were victimized as well.

    During the TLC special, Jessa Duggar addressed sexual abuse.

    “I feel like this should be a discussion that people are having, even regularly,” she said. “I think that it shouldn’t be a taboo subject and that we should be bringing awareness to child sexual abuse and talking about it.”

    Jill Duggar added, “It was amazing to understand that there are so many people that deal with the exact same thing in their own families, so just being educated is very good.”

    Former 19 Kids and Counting matriarch Michelle Duggar appeared on the TLC special with her daughters.

    “I was so glad that my girls and I were able to do this together,” she said on Sunday’s documentary. “And that we could just be a support and encouragement to each other to be able to gain more information about this important topic.”

    Sadly, the 19 Kids and Counting family has been devastated by Josh Duggar yet again. During the recent Ashley Madison website hacking it was discovered that Josh had two accounts. He later admitted to having an addiction to pornography and to having cheated on his wife Anna Duggar.

  • ’19 Kids and Counting’ Patriarch Jim Bob Duggar Has ‘Authority’ Over Michelle Duggar and Kids

    19 Kids and Counting was cancelled, but that hasn’t kept its stars–the Duggar family and many of its members–out of the media spotlight. Josh Duggar, the reason for TLC’s cancellation of the popular reality TV show, recently admitted to his involvement in a new scandal. He had two Ashley Madison accounts, is addicted to pornography, and cheated on his wife Anna Duggar.

    In a new report, revelations about 19 Kids and Counting patriarch Jim Bob Duggar will no doubt leave some wondering what really goes on behind the Duggar family doors.

    “Jim Bob’s favorite word is ‘no,’” one Duggar family source says. “He’s like a dictator. He once saw a guy kissing a girl before marriage and confronted him about it. And the guy said, ‘Jim Bob, show me that verse in the Bible that says we can’t kiss. Get out your Bible.’ And Jim Bob was like, ‘Uhhhh …’ because no one ever confronts Jim Bob. No one.”

    This concerns those closest to the Duggar family, and the biggest concern right now is for Anna Duggar. Reports have surfaced saying Anna Duggar won’t leave Josh–even after he admitted to cheating on her.

    “The scary thing is, I don’t know who is talking to Anna, outside of the people in Duggarville,” the source says.

    When Josh Duggar made his latest confession, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar issued a statement, saying they were disappointed, but praying about these latest developments.

    Some people have long believed that because the 19 Kids and Counting family lives in the south, that they belong to the Southern Baptist Church. That isn’t true. The Duggar family’s belief align with fundamental Christianity, but adhere to a Christian ideology called conservative patriarchy. This means the father/husband rules the household. It also means sexuality and sex aren’t discussed–ever.

    “They don’t talk about sex. They don’t talk about sexuality,” the Duggar family source says.

    The Duggar children–including newly married daughters Jill Duggar Dillard and Jessa Duggar Seewald–are almost completely cut off from the secular world. The family source says Jim Bob Duggar once removed batteries from his children’s toys that made music, “because he didn’t want [his kids] to dance or move their bodies that way.”

    In the 2014 book, Growing Up Duggar, four of the Duggar daughters–including Jessa Duggar and Jill Duggar–explained that the family has a code word to help the boys and men deal with lustful thoughts if an attractive woman is in their midst.

    That word is “Nike.”

    “That’s a signal to the boys, and even to Dad, that they should nonchalantly drop their eyes and look down at their shoes as we walk past her,” they wrote in the book.

    “They say it, and all the boys look straight down to the floor every time. It’s like an automatic military thing. Things like that blow my mind,” the family source says.

    Based on the things shared by this 19 Kids and Counting source, it certainly sounds like poor Anna Duggar doesn’t stand a chance. She will pray and remain secluded with her cheating husband who abused his sisters–Jill and Jessa Duggar admit they are his victims, and many expect that Jinger Duggar and Jana Duggar are the other siblings he victimized. Josh Duggar also molested one non-relative underage girl. Anna Duggar has no chance of escaping this insanity.

    Did you have any idea that Jim Bob Duggar ran the 19 Kids and Counting family in this manner? This kind of control surely contributed to the way Josh Duggar is and could manifest itself in other negative ways in more of the Duggar family members, too.

  • Jessa Duggar Seewald, Jill Duggar Dillard to Appear in TLC Sex Abuse Special, ‘Breaking the Silence’

    Jessa Duggar Seewald and sister Jill Duggar Dillard will both appear in an upcoming TLC sex abuse special called Breaking the Silence. The network cancelled the Duggar family’s reality show, 19 Kids and Counting after the media frenzy that followed word of Josh Duggar’s sexual molestation scandal. Jessa Duggar Seewald and Jill Duggar Dillard–two admitted victims of Josh Duggar–agreed to appear in the documentary.

    TLC will air Breaking the Silence on Sunday, August 30. It will run for one hour and will be commercial free.

    “The one-hour documentary is built around the personal and emotional stories of brave survivors who have found the courage to come forward,” the network said in a statement.

    TLC President Marjorie Kaplan added that “the goal is to take what has been a difficult and painful experience, and focus that attention on the really critical issue of child protection and child sexual abuse.”

    Jessa Duggar Seewald and Jill Duggar Dillard are two of five of brother Josh Duggar’s victims. Two other Duggar sisters–purportedly Jana Duggar and Jinger Duggar–were molested, too, as was one non-relative.

    Jill and Jessa Duggar talked about their situation during a Fox interview with Megyn Kelly. They said during that interview that they only knew about Josh’s sexual molestations (inappropriate touching over clothing) because their parents explained what happened after Josh admitted to the fondling. Both girls were reportedly asleep when the molestations took place.

    “My dad explained to us, he said, ‘You know there’s a difference between forgiveness and trust. That’s not the same thing,’” Jill Duggar Dillard told Megyn Kelly. “You know, you forgive someone and then you have boundaries. Forgiveness with boundaries. Trust comes later. Josh destroyed that trust at the beginning, and so he had to rebuild that. I think when he came back, that was… the point of rebuilding.”

    Parents Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar have come under much fire for the way they handled the situation. Josh reportedly never received clinical counseling.

    The Duggar family is said to be renting a home and haven’t returned to their large Arkansas abode since word of the scandal hit the media. They were saddened at the loss of their reality show, but claim they will continue to glorify God in other ways.

    Will you be tuning in on August 30 to see Jessa Duggar Seewald and Jill Duggar Dillard on this TLC special about sexual abuse? Do you think their story will change at all since their interview with Megyn Kelly?

  • Jana Duggar, Jinger Duggar, and Mom Scheduled for First Public Appearance Since ’19 Kids and Counting’ Cancellation

    Jana Duggar and Jinger Duggar–along with their mom Michelle Duggar–are scheduled for their first public appearance since the cancellation of 19 Kids and Counting. This is Jinger and Jana Duggar’s first appearance since the Josh Duggar sexual molestation scandal hit the media back in May.

    It is expected by most–given their ages–that Jinger Duggar, who is 21, and Jana Duggar, who is 25, were among Josh Duggar’s sexual molestation victims. Sisters Jill Duggar Dillard and Jessa Duggar Seewald admitted that they had, in fact, been sexually molested by their brother, but wouldn’t have know it if Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar hadn’t explained the situation to them. They were reportedly asleep when their brother copped an inappropriate feel. Jana Duggar and Jinger Duggar have never admitted to being among Josh Duggar’s victims.

    Michelle Duggar shared a post on the family’s website that lists herself, Jana, and Jinger Duggar as speakers at an upcoming Christian event. The event is the COMMIT Mother/Daughter Conference, and is designed to encourage young women–aged 12 to 17–and their mothers to seek God above all else.

    This means Jinger and Jana Duggar will travel with Michelle to Indianapolis for a fun ladies-only getaway.

    The Duggar family blog also shared a report that confirms that it has cost Discovery Communications a great deal of money to cancel 19 Kids and Counting. Being strong Christians, however, there is no way the Duggar family would take any pleasure in that.

    Is there?

    Surely flocks of young women and their moms will travel to Indianapolis to hear what Jinger and Jana Duggar, as well as Michelle Duggar, have to say about following the Lord. That belief system is at their family’s very core.

  • Jill Duggar to Miss Birth of New ’19 Kids and Counting’ Family Member

    Jill Duggar and her husband Derick Dillard departed for a foreign country last weekend where they will serve as missionaries. That means Jill–who was in training to become a midwife-will miss out on the birth of the next member of the 19 Kids and Counting family.

    Anna Duggar, who was recently due to give birth to her fourth child with Josh Duggar, is now overdue. This means their baby could arrive any time now and Jill Duggar won’t be around to witness the birth.

    Of course it’s uncertain that Jill would have attended Anna Duggar’s labor and delivery–or even if Anna is having a midwife. Sister Jana Duggar is a midwife, so she will at the very least be around to help Anna out after the new baby arrives.

    This weekend, Anna Duggar and Jessa Duggar Seewald compared the size of their bellies in a fun picture. Jessa’s is, of course, much smaller, since her baby isn’t due until November.

    Anna and Josh Duggar are already the parents of one daughter–Mackynzie is five–and two sons. Michael Duggar is three and Marcus Duggar is two. They are expecting a girl this time around.

    Josh Duggar has been front and center in the news recently for having sexually molested five underage girls when he was a teenager. Sisters Jill Duggar Dillard and Jessa Duggar Seewald have admitted they are two of his victims. It is expected that Jana Duggar and Jinger Duggar are the other two sisters Josh molested. He also molested one non-related girl.

    Do you expect Jill Duggar will be disappointed she isn’t home in Arkansas when Anna Duggar finally has her fourth baby? Or is Jill more than content to be serving as a missionary a long way from home?

  • Josh Duggar: ’19 Kids and Counting’ Family Angry With Him Upon His and Anna Duggar’s Return to Arkansas

    Josh Duggar isn’t in the good graces of the 19 Kids and Counting family right now. At least that’s what OK magazine reports. It seems as Josh and Anna Duggar are starting to unpack at their Arkansas home, the rest of the family is giving him the cold shoulder.

    Sure, they’ve all prayed for and forgiven Josh Duggar for sexually molesting five underage girls–four of whom are his sisters–but when push comes to shove he is costing them a boat load of money. He might even have cost them their most lucrative source of income–their TV show.

    “Josh is the reason the gravy train came to a screeching halt,” a source tells OK. “He’s ruined their main source of income, and they’re furious.”

    The source also said that when Anna and Josh Duggar, along with their three children, arrived back in Arkansas last week, that none of the 19 Kids and Counting family members showed up to help unload and unpack the moving trucks. Kate Gosselin’s bodyguard, Steve Neild, was hired by TLC to assist the family with keeping the paparazzi at bay.

    Anna Duggar is expecting a baby in a matter of weeks. Did Jill Duggar Dillard, Jessa Duggar Seewald, or even Jana and Jinger Duggar–all purportedly Josh Duggar’s sexual molestation victims–come to her aid?

    No.

    “Anna is due to give birth to their fourth child in less than a month, and she needed helping hands more than ever,” the source said. “But the family abandoned them, all saying they were ‘too busy.’”

    In fact, OK reports they’ve been told Jill Dillard and Jessa Seewald are angrier than the rest.

    “They were becoming the superstars of the family,” the source said. “They’re devastated–and terribly resentful of Josh.”

    Josh Duggar has no job and he supposedly has no family support.

    How will he and his family survive back home in Arkansas without one or both of these important things?

    Do you think the 19 Kids and Counting family is really ostracizing Josh Duggar, or might they simply be trying to make it look that way so that they can distance themselves from him in the public eye, and try to salvage their reality show?

  • Michelle Duggar: ’19 Kids and Counting’ Matriarch Lauded by Daughter Jana Duggar During Josh Duggar Sexual Molestation Scandal

    Michelle Duggar is the matriarch of the 19 Kids and Counting clan, and she’s been under lots of pressure since word of eldest son Josh Duggar’s sordid past made news in recent weeks. Josh Duggar sexually molested five underage girls many years ago–four of whom are his sisters.

    One of those sisters–Jana Duggar–took to social media to laud Michelle Duggar, and share some love with the mother of 19.

    It’s likely Jana knew that Michelle Duggar is in need of some extra TLC–the ‘tender loving care’ TLC–while the TLC network is deciding whether or not to cancel 19 Kids and Counting.

    Jana shared a Facebook post to sing Michelle Duggar’s praises, and to share a photo of herself with her mom.

    Love spending time with this sweet lady. So thankful to have her as a role model, a friend and a mom! Always love my time with her. Jana

    The Duggar family appears to stick together through thick and thin–and they’ve certainly been in the thick of it with Josh Duggar’s sexual molestation scandal. Not only has Josh come under fire, but Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar have been accused of not handling the situation properly, and his victims (Jill Duggar Dillard and Jessa Duggar Seewald spoke out about the situation on TV) feel revictimized by the media.

    At the center of it all is Michelle Duggar, trying desperately to hold her family–and her reality show–together with love and prayers.

    Is Jana Duggar sharing an accurate portrayal of the 19 Kids and Counting family with her Facebook post? Or is this simply what the Duggar family wants fans and the media to see? Do you think they’re really holding it together behind closed doors?

  • ’19 Kids and Counting’ Star Jana Duggar Praises Mom, Michelle Duggar, Spends Time With Younger Siblings

    The 19 Kids and Counting family has come under significant fire in recent weeks since word of Josh Duggar’s sexual molestation scandal hit the media. Despite the turmoil the Duggar family is presently facing, it seems like they are trying to present a sense of normalcy to the younger children. Jana Duggar–the eldest of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar’s daughters–is likely one of Josh Duggar’s victims. She–like sisters Jill Duggar Dillard and Jessa Duggar Seewald, who spoke out about the molestation scandal–has no doubt tried to move on from the events that took place all those years ago.

    Jana Duggar has likely found solace in keeping life as routine as possible for her younger siblings, and that recently included hosting a tea party for them.

    Michelle Duggar shared word of the 19 Kids and Counting tea party, as well as pictures of Jana Duggar, along with Johannah, Jennifer, Jordyn-Grace, and Josie Duggar enjoying their ‘high tea.’

    What fun we can have in one day! Formal high tea party and a great creature hunt (Turtles and crawdads found!). What a perfectly wonderful Saturday spent with these kiddos!

    Just a few days earlier, Jana Duggar shared warm words about her mother, the 19 Kids and Counting matriarch.

    Love spending time with this sweet lady. So thankful to have her as a role model, a friend and a mom! Always love my time with her. Jana

    Do you think life is getting back to normal for the members of the 19 Kids and Counting family? Or are the adults in the family simply trying their hardest to make things seem that way for the younger children?
