Former Counting On star Joy-Anna Forsyth may be taking after her daddy, Jim Bob Duggar. The Duggar daughter shared a new video that might give some insight into how she’s living her life and what she thinks of the way she was raised. So, what has Joy-Anna done now, and what does her father, Jim Bob have to do with it?

As the Duggar kids have grown up, gotten married, and started their own families, they have chosen how to live their lives. Growing up, the Duggar children had to follow strict, conservative guidelines. The girls had to wear skirts or dresses that didn’t show too much skin. They also followed many other rules and were homeschooled by their mother, Michelle Duggar.

Though some of the kids have chosen to live their lives differently, many of them are still following their parents’ rules long after moving out. Joy-Anna Forsyth seems to be taking after her father, Jim Bob, and here’s how.

Joy-Anna Forsyth takes after her father, Jim Bob Duggar, with her latest move.

In a new YouTube video this weekend, Joy-Anna Forsyth shared a very private moment with fans. The Duggar daughter revealed that her son, Gideon, 3, now needs therapy.

In the description of her video, she writes, “Austin & I felt like Gideon was falling a little behind in some areas of communication and comprehension so we took him to Regional Therapy Service Rogers to get a screening test to see where he was at.”

In the video, Joy-Anna Forsyth documented her son Gideon’s screening. Based on the title of her video, “He needs therapy,” it’s easy for fans to assume that something serious might be going on with the little boy.

Joy-Anna has decided to film a major part of her son’s life and share it on YouTube. This is similar to how she was raised on her family’s TLC shows, 19 Kids & Counting and Counting On. 

Jim Bob Duggar allowed TLC to film his large family, including some of their most intimate and important moments. Now, Joy-Anna appears to be doing the same with her kids. She’s now being accused of exploiting her son. Blogger Katie Joy Paulson of Without a Crystal Ball is now begging Joy-Anna to “break the cycle” of filming children and profiting off of their stories.

  1. I can’t stand that these people use their kids to make a living.
    They need to get a real job.
    I have never let my kids watch the show “Ryan” either. Because his parents are exploiting him and always have.
    Do not depend on your children to support the way of life you think you need.

  2. These people are just sad.What’ s more is that they are really dull. Golly grief, Michelle was seen wearing pants of all things! Just go away already and get some education and then a job like the rest of us!
