Counting On’s Joseph Duggar admitted to sexually abusing a child and is now in police custody. Duggar’s arrest appears to have taken his sisters by surprise, leaving Duggar fans feeling sympathy for them, and some not so much. Read on to see what people are saying.
Some fans of Counting On social media talked about how Joseph was still very close to his family before his crime became public.

All of the Duggars were posting as usual up until yesterday’s sex crimes arrest of Joseph.

Fans Concerned Jinger & Jeremy Podcast Will End
Duggar fans have shared their thoughts on Jinger and Jeremy’s podcast after this major humiliating news about her brother. Comments have also been brutal on Jinger’s social media, with fights breaking out on her posts. It is likely Jinger’s podcast will carry on just like it did when her brother Josh was arrested for his disturbing actions.
- One person said, “Praying for you during this time. I know that your wounds are once again open, and your home is rattled..praying for all those that are victims to all cases” then other fans attacked the commenter for saying anything about this scandal.
- “pray for the victim actually”
- “how many more I wonder”
- “she could actually get her daughter’s forensically tested this time”
- “why would you post this! It’s about dishwashing. Stay in your lane about something you know nothing about.”
- “what? am I not allowed to pray for her and her family?”
- “since when does it need to be commented about under someone’s post that you’re praying for someone in their family ? Please.”
Jessa Getting Bullied On Her Social Media For Joseph’s Actions
Comments on Jessa Duggar Seewald’s Instagram account were pretty harsh. Blaming her family instead of her brother for his disgusting actions.
One comment said: “Families of pedos shouldn’t be on television’ also saying Jessa should stop breeding, and continued saying “two people cannot raise 19 with good values” continuing, “Jessa let the children socialize…send them to school and ditch modesty rules for the girls and let them have careers.”
Jill Duggar’s Nasty Comments on Grief Post About Deceased Daughter
Social media has exploded over this new Duggar scandal. Jill Duggar, who was a victim herself of molestation by her brother Josh, is also getting attacked on social media. Jill’s post caption: “This week is her week…when we delivered our baby girl into the arms of Jesus two years ago. Isla Marie Dillard, March 19th, 2024. ?
She shares her daddy’s birth month (only 10 days after him) and the time stamped their birth certificates is the same too, 1:40pm. ?”
Cold-Hearted Fan Goes After Jill
The thread started with a harsh question to Jill: “Are you proud of your family? ?” comments flooded in to defend Jill after such a cold-hearted question on her deceased baby post. Comments followed:
“Considering she wrote a book outing them no she probably isn’t in some ways but I’m sure she loves many of them. This is not the place or the time”
“Really? Under a post of her remembering the daughter she lost? Wtf is wrong with you? Pick another one at least.”
“to write this to a mother who is grieving her daughter and was a victim herself…you are SICK!”
“This is horrible for you again jill. I wonder was it kendras younger sister. Praying for you all ?”

Joseph Duggar is still awaiting extradition to Florida, where the crime took place. Some steps need to be taken in a case like this one, where the suspect was arrested in a different state than the crime they are accused of. Florida would need to obtain a governor’s warrant to get him extradited to Florida. Until then, Joseph is sitting in an Arkansas jail.
