Jim Bob & Michelle Duggar Are Back, First Post Since Sentencing
Former TLC stars Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar are finally back with their first post since Josh’s sentencing. The couple made a rare and surprising social media post this past weekend for the first time in months. Scroll down to see what they shared.
At the time of Josh’s arrest, in the spring of 2021, many members of the family chose to stop posting on social media. This is because they often received criticism, regardless of the posts they shared. Instead, they just decided to lay low and attempted to stay out of the public eye. Some of Jim Bob and Michelle’s 19 kids have slowly returned to social media, but overall, many of them seem to be keeping quiet or only sharing infrequent updates.
On May 25, 2022, Josh received his 151-month sentence. Since then, the Duggar family’s Instagram page has been quiet. Their last post was shared on May 7 after Jedidiah and Katey Duggar welcomed their first child, Truett, to the world.

Now, the Duggar matriarch and patriarch have returned to social media. They took to Instagram with a rare update. Rather than posting on their Instagram feed, the couple shared a post on their Instagram Stories. These posts are only visible for 24 hours. After one day, they are removed and cannot be found unless someone takes a screenshot.
In their Instagram Stories post, Jim Bob and Michelle shared a link to their son James Duggar’s newest YouTube video, which features some of the highlights from the family’s Christmas gathering. They wrote, “Good job on the video, James!” They also added a clapping emoji to show that they are proud of his hard work on the video.

It’s unclear if and when Jim Bob and Michelle will make another return to social media. They seem to be enjoying their lives in privacy these days, especially after receiving so many negative comments after Josh’s arrest and trial.
