Derick Dillard

These days, it seems that no matter what Derick Dillard does, he stirs up controversy.

We don't mean to say that Derick is treated unfairly by fans.

Back in November of 2017, Derick Dillard was fired by TLC after directing a transphobic tirade at fellow network star Jazz Jennings.

It's the sort of thing people get fired for, so Derick took his lumps like a man, confessed to wrongdoing, and moved on.

If you're a fan of the Duggar family, then you're no doubt familiar with the controversy surrounding Derick Dillard.

If you somehow missed the uproar or simply forgot how awful Derick is, here's a brief refresher:

We don't need to tell you there are many strange things about life in the Duggar family.

Most of these eccentricities are the result of the family's strict fundamentalist belief system.

After Derick Dillard's latest controversy, fans are encouraging former Counting On star Jill Duggar to dump Derick.

It looks like she's still standing by her man. This time, she's backing up his homophobic Twitter rant. At least, that's what it looks like she's saying.

Jill Duggar is generally not one to make waves.

The second-eldest daughter of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, Jill has spent the majority of her life meeting the demands of her ludicrously strict upbringing.

It often seems that not a day goes by without some sort of Jill Duggar parenting controversy.

More often than not, mountains are made from molehills, and Jill is criticized or praised for behavior that's not all that different from what most moms do on a daily basis. 

There was a time when Jill Duggar was one of the few members of her family was thought to be mostly immune to criticism.

Those were simpler times. Different times.

As much as they'd like us to think otherwise, the Duggars are human beings who are vulnerable to all of the same temptations and negative emotions as the rest of us.

Of course, while you might deal with familial conflicts by getting drunk at Thanksgiving and finally telling Aunt Carol what you really think of her candied yams, the Duggars take a much, much more passive-aggressive approach to hashing out their differences.

Derick Dillard is just a truly awful, no-good person.

You know it, we know it, everyone who has had the terrible misfortune to check out his Twitter account knows it.
