Duggar News

Earlier this week, a photo of Jill Duggar drinking a piña colada absolutely scandalized fans of her notoriously conservative family.

Now, for most people, it's not a big deal to like piña coladas -- or getting caught in the rain, for that matter.

Several months ago, a rumor that Josh Duggar lives in a warehouse with his wife and six kids spread like wildfire on social media.

For critics of the Duggar family, the report seemed almost too good to be true.

For several years now, Duggar fans have speculated that the relationship between Jana Duggar and Laura DeMasie is something more than a friendship.

That may sound far-fetched, given the Duggar family's strict ban on premarital sex of all kids, and homosexual sex in particular.

Take note, Derick Dillard, Jill Duggar, and everyone else who's been cast out of Jim Bob's kingdom:

It is possible to move on and even thrive without the fundamentalist fame that only Arkansas' most sanctimonious blowhard can bestow:

Last year, Jedidiah Duggar announced that he would be running for a seat in the Arkansas State House of Representatives.

In some ways, the news was not surprising.

These days, Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard keep a relatively low profile.

But that's only true in comparison to their former lives and the rest of Jill's family.

Back in February, we reported that Josh Duggar was living in a warehouse on his father's property with his wife and six children.

Now, those rumors have been inadvertently confirmed by TLC.

Derick Dillard appears to be at a crossroads in life.

The husband of Jill Duggar has made it clear for many months now that he hates father-in-law Jim Bob.

It's only been one week since Joy-Anna Duggar welcomed her second child, but the proud mother is already out and about and showing off her newest bundle of joy (no pun intended).

Of course, fans are thrilled to get their first glimpses of baby Evelyn Mae, but they're equally taken by the fact that Joy does not look like someone who just gave birth a few days ago.

Any large family has its favorites and its black sheep.

In a family the size of the Duggar clan, there are enough kids in each category that they could play an annual softball game against each other with the prize being a silent nod of approval from Jim Bob for the winning team.

When Jessa Duggar married Ben Seewald back in 2014, she was just 21 years old, and in the eyes of many fans, she seemed much younger.

It's true that Jessa had lived quite a sheltered life up to that point, but what many fans didn't realize is that Ben may have had even less real world experience.

Back in November, Josh and Anna Duggar welcomed their sixth child.

It was a joyous occasion for the couple, but not so much for the virulent Duggar critics who don't love the idea of yet another daughter being entrusted to the care of a man who has molested five young girls.

Talk about too soon!

Last week, Jeremy Vuolo made an unusually dark joke on his Instagram page.

When the feud between Derick Dillard and Jim Bob Duggar first became public knowledge, it was unclear if Jill would side with her husband or remain loyal to her father.

Now, however, it's abundantly clear that Jill Duggar is 100 percent Team Derick and no longer gives a damn what her dad thinks.

While we thankfully don't hear much from Josh Duggar these days, Anna Duggar is as active in her in-laws' media empire as ever before.

This week's episode of Counting On featured Anna and her kids at a Duggar Christmas party, and it seems the scenes prompted a renewed interest in Josh's long-suffering wife.

Believe it or not, it's been over five years since the Josh Duggar sex scandals came to light.

When the world first learned that Josh molested five young girls -- four of whom were his sisters -- it was widely assumed that the Duggars' TLC show would be canceled.

Five years ago, the Josh Duggar sex scandals nearly brought the Duggar family's media empire crashing down.

Astonishingly, the Duggars' reputation survived -- at least among diehard fans -- and it wasn't long before Jim Bob and company returned to the same network that made them famous.

If you're a longtime Duggar fan, we probably don't need to tell you about the family's complex past with Laura DeMasie.

But if you're unfamiliar with Jana Duggar's rumored girlfriend, suffice it to say this is the quintessential love/hate relationship.

She's at it again!

Jana has been breaking the Duggar dress code all summer, and now, it seems she's going out with a bang by slipping two violations into a single photo.

2019 has been described by Duggars as the year of the Great Duggar Baby Boom, a time when it seemed that not a week went by without news of a new pregnancy or birth.

It stands to reason that this year would see a drop-off in procreation, but 2020 won't come to an end wihout a couple more future fundies being added to the family's ever-growing ranks.

In recent months, Joy-Anna Duggar and husband Austin Forsyth have chosen to take a half-step away from the spotlight.

The couple still updates their massive fan base on social media, but they're not nearly as exposed as they were just last year.

For months now, we've been reporting on an anti-Jim Bob rebellion that's been going on within the Duggar family.

Some have claimed that "rebellion" is a bit of a strong word -- after all, it's not as though the insurgents are planning to kick in the door of the Duggar compound with torches and pitchforks -- but whatever you call it, the winds of change seem to be blowing hard in Jim Bob's face these days.
