Duggar Former Neighbors Speak Out About Josh Conviction
Josh Duggar’s conviction less than a week ago has had fans, critics, Arkansas locals, and others talking. In case you missed it, the eldest Duggar son was found guilty of receiving and possessing child porn. He’s currently awaiting sentencing, which could take four months.
Despite the uncertainty of what’s next for Josh’s wife, Anna, and the exact details of his sentence, the former TLC star’s name has been in the headlines non-stop. Several of Josh’s family members have issued statements about the guilty verdict. Fans and critics have reacted to the news online. Plus, locals in Arkansas have been sharing their thoughts on the situation, revealing that they were thrilled to hear the news.
Now, another Arkansas local is getting candid about the conviction. They are pretty relieved by the verdict and have a lot to say about Josh’s conviction.
What are Josh Duggar’s former neighbors saying?
An insider spoke with InTouch Weekly and revealed their thoughts on Josh’s conviction, as someone familiar with the Duggar family. They are from Arkansas and have been exposed to the family for years.
The local says, “The talk among the majority of residents in Springdale, where the Duggars first lived, and Tontitown, where they settled and still live, is relief. Relief that this whole Josh mess is finally coming to an end due to the guilty verdict. Most people in town were horrified when Josh and the child pornography story broke. It was shocking, but because of his past issues, it wasn’t that surprising for some folks.”
They continue, mentioning how the Duggars used to be “celebrities” in their community. But over time, as word of Josh’s many scandals came out, they became “a negative stain on the community.”
The local admits that many Arkansas residents are tired of hearing about the family. Not only are their names plastered across national news headlines, but they are the talk of the town in local news, too.
Finally, the Arkansas resident says, “If you bring up the Duggar name to someone who lives here today, you’ll get a range of emotions. Mostly outrage and disgust for what Josh has done. There are still people in town who support the family, they don’t blame them for Josh’s actions. But there are plenty more who just want them to go away. No one here wants to talk about them anymore, especially Josh.”
