Back in December of 2017, Derick Dillard was fired from Counting On in response to his bigotry and general douchiness on social media.
In the months since, Derick and Jill have made it quite easy for fans to keep up with their marriage through social media updates and blog posts.
These days, it can be difficult to tell what exactly is going on in the marriage of Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard.
Rumors of the Dillards getting divorced seem to surface at the rate of about one per week, but because the couple is no longer on reality TV, it's hard to gauge the veracity of those claims.
It's not uncommon to find a pair of high heels in most women's closets, but for the Duggar family it's quite unexpected.
Jill Duggar has recently shared a daring new Instagram post convincing us all that she is just a normal female who loves a good pair of shoes.
Derick Dillard has a reputation for saying truly hateful and idiotic things on social media.
The most famous example, of course, is Derick's transphobic tirade against fellow TLC star Jazz Jennings,
Despite -- or perhaps because of -- the fact that she and her husband no longer appear on Counting On, fan interest in the life of Jill Duggar has reached an all-time high in recent months.
As you may recall, Jill's husband, Derick Dillard, got fired from the show after he launched a transphobic tirade at fellow TLC star Jazz Jennings.
Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard may not appear on our TV screens anymore, but fans who follow the couple on social media know that the Dillards still aren't shy about sharing every aspect of their personal lives with the world.
Case in point, this pic of the two on one of their frequent date nights:
It's been over a year since Derick Dillard was fired from Counting On after launching a bigoted social media tirade against fellow TLC star Jazz Jennings.
Shortly after Derick was let go, his wife, Jill Duggar, quit the show as a gesture of solidarity.
Earlier today, we explored the question of why Jill Duggar is hated by so many Counting On viewers.
Now, it's time to answer the much simpler question of why Duggar fans are so often critical of Derick Dillard.
At first glance, Jill Duggar appears to be about as completely innocent and innocuous as any human being can be.
Jill is a young mother of two with a husband in law school.
For months now, we've been hearing rumors that Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard are headed for divorce.
It may sound like an inherently ridiculous notion.
Look, nobody likes Derick Dillard, right?
Well, like we're sure Jill thinks he's OK, and he has family and friends and all that.
Does anyone actually like Derick Dillard?
They don't, right?
Though there have been times when Derick Dillard says something decent, he is once again coming under fire for a tweet of his.
Fans are absolutely outraged after he shared what appeared to be heartfelt story about the steps he took to lose weight when he needed to.
Derick Dillard has already made it clear.
He doesn't like gay men or gay women or transgender individuals or really anyone with a set of beliefs different than his.
Prior to marriage, members of the Duggar family are forbidden to engage in any sort of physical contact with members of the opposite sex.
But after they tie the knot -- something strange happens.
For years now, fans have been speculating on the possibility of Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard getting divorced.
It sounds crazy -- after all, the Duggars very strongly disapprove of divorce -- but then again the family has never had to deal with an in-law like Derick before.
We've all seen Jill Duggar defy Jim Bob's strict rules, but she's still a hardcore fundamentalist deep down ... right?
Maybe not.
It's sort of surprising that Jill Duggar ever posts anything on Instagram anymore.
After all, mom-shaming Jill is the internet's favorite pastime these days, and it must get exhausting to be constantly criticized for every decision she makes regarding her kids.
For many people, one of the most infuriating things about the Duggar clan is their inability to practice what they preach.
They claim devotion to the teachings of Jesus, and yet they dedicate their days to amassing wealth.
We've known for some time now that Derick Dillard is not Jim Bob Duggar's favorite son-in-law.
In fact, it's been said that Jim Bob flat-out doesn't like Derick -- and frankly, it's not hard to see why.
