Duggar Family ‘Pretending Like Everything Is Fine’ Amid Josh’s Arrest
As we’ve reported, the Duggar family spent Labor Day at a farm, and many of the kids and grandchildren were able to attend. They shared several photos from the fun day, revealing who was able to be there and who wasn’t.
Of course, most Duggar fans know about Josh’s arrest, and that explains why he was missing from the outing. He was arrested for the possession of child pornography. He’s currently awaiting his trial on November 30, but in the meantime, he must abide by a set of conditions. One of the rules is that he cannot be around children that aren’t his own. So, he was naturally excluded from the event where many of his nieces, nephews, and siblings were.
While some fans are happy to see the Duggar family’s latest photos, others are upset that the family seems to be living their lives normally despite Josh’s arrest.
Duggar family slammed for ignoring their bigger issues.
On social media, Jim Bob and Michelle are getting some backlash for posting normal photos and enjoying regular family outings during this time. Josh’s alleged crimes are serious, and fans and critics feel that the family isn’t reacting appropriately.
A source recently spoke to People, revealing that, “They aren’t as close as they once were because of all of Josh’s legal drama. It’s creating a lot of stress on them — although the majority of the family is acting like nothing has happened.”
The source also revealed that Jim Bob and Michelle are siding with their son. Apparently, Jim Bob wants to sweep this under the rug.
Jim Bob and Michelle’s page has the comments limited, which helps to reduce some of the negative comments the family could receive. Some fans are defending the family, asking if they should just be hiding out at home this whole time. We’ll have to see what happens with Josh’s trial and how it affects the rest of the family in November.
So, do you think the Duggar family should be acting differently following Josh’s arrest? What do you think might be happening next with Josh’s case? Let us know in the comments below.
