Has Jinger Vuolo Spoken With Brother Josh Duggar Recently?
Former Counting On star Jinger Vuolo is sharing whether she has spoken with her brother Josh Duggar recently. The Duggar daughter recently wrote a memoir titled Becoming Free Indeed, which follows her through her religious deconstruction. The book hit shelves on Tuesday, Jan. 31. Today, she is still a Christian but does not follow her family’s strict belief system anymore. In her book, the topic of her brother’s disgusting actions arose. So, what did she share about Josh, and does she still speak with him?
Josh was arrested on child pornography charges in the spring of 2021. He then went to trial, was convicted, and is now serving a 12-year sentence at FCI Seagoville, which is in Texas. Because he’s behind bars and many of his siblings are keeping quiet on social media, not much is known about their relationships with him these days. Now, Jinger Vuolo is sharing her experience.
Has Jinger Vuolo spoken with Josh Duggar recently?
In her new memoir, the Duggar daughter spilled some details about where she stands with Josh today. According to InTouch, she wrote, “Though I haven’t seen or spoken to Josh in nearly two years, I still pray for him. I ask God to show Josh his desperate need for repentance. I want my brother to be genuine and honest about his sin and reject the hypocrisy that has been part of his life for so long. Only Jesus can save him.”
What else has she said about Josh?
In her memoir, Jinger Vuolo shared more about her relationship with her brother and his disturbing actions. She compared his hypocritical actions to those of IBLP leader Bill Gothard, who stepped down amid harassment accusations. Jinger said that her brother “looked the part in so many ways.” She also accused Josh of “living a lie.”
She went on to reveal what she thinks Josh needs in order to change. She said, “Gothard’s rules can’t transform anyone. What Gothard and my brother Josh need is a new heart that only Jesus can give.”
It’s unclear what the future holds for Josh. He’ll be behind bars for the next decade, so it is possible that he will change. In the meantime, Jinger Vuolo will continue praying for her brother. She has also shown support for his wife Anna and their seven children during this hard time.
