Jana Duggar

There was a time when it seemed like the strangest thing about the Duggar family was how insanely huge it is.

When Jim Bob, Michelle, and brood were first introduced to American viewers, they were a family of 16 struggling to make ends meet.

Counting On is unique among reality shows, in that while most stars and producers work together to dig deep in search of interpersonal drama that might lead to compelling television, the Duggars and their TLC bosses have decided to leave certain secrets buried.

It's not uncommon that the family is embroiled in some sort of high-stakes tabloid drama in real life, while on TV, they seem to be troubled by nothing more consequential than an especially competitive scavenger hunt.

Last week, in an exclusive interview with The Hollywood Gossip, a former employee of the Duggar family confirmed what some fans had long suspected about Jana Duggar's personal life.

The source told us that Jana is in love with Laura DeMasie, her longtime best friend, and was heartbroken by last year's news that Laura would be moving to Atlanta to pursue a career opportunity.

When Jana Duggar joined Instagram last year, the move took many fans by surprise.

You see, according to the strict Duggar courtship rules, social media is reserved for those who have already entered serious romantic relationships.

Jana Duggar is always under a lot of pressure from her family, specifically from her family's restrictive lifestyle.

Now, her own followers are adding to that tension ... and accusing the 30-year-old of defrauding them. Huh?

Back in January, Jana Duggar turned 30.

And we probably don't need to tell you she's the first of her siblings to hit the big 3-0 without getting married and popping out some kids first.

Fans are still debating whether the Duggars followed social distancing guidelines on Easter Sunday.

But no one is questioning that Jana looked absolutely drop-dead gorgeous in her Easter outfit.

All over the world, families are sheltering in place and limiting contact with the outside world for fear of contracting the coronavirus.

Those with young children or elderly parents to care for have been especially cautious for fear of spreading the potentially deadly virus to their more vulnerable loved ones.

If you feel like there's nothing but soul-crushing negativity in the news these days, you're certainly not alone.

The entire world is in a panic over the coronavirus pandemic, and all the while other, more common types of calamities, such as natural disasters, continue to assail unsuspecting victims.

For Jana Duggar, the jig may be up.

While her family is out there trying to bring a suffering nation together, this single 30-year old may be holed up inside her parents' home, doing all she can to tear her loved ones apart.

The Duggars are a polarizing family.

This may be the most understated sentence ever written on this celebrity gossip website.

If you're a Duggar fan, you've probably heard the rumor by now:

People in the know are convinced that Jana Duggar is courting Lawson Bates.

It's a rumor that's been with us for years and simply refuses to die.

No, we're not talking about reports that Jill Duggar is begging to get back on TV because her family is broke.

Throughout her family's time in the spotlight, fans have been almost creepily fixated on the fact that Jana Duggar is still single.

Of course, you can't really blame Duggar obsessives for fixating on Jana's lack of a love life.

Is this it? Could it really be happening?!

Might we finally be on the verge of the moment that Duggar fans have been eagerly awaiting for an entire freakin' decade?!

Even when Jana Duggar almost breaks Jim Bob's rules, she can never quite step over the line. Why? Because he controls her entire life.

That's unlikely to change. According to a compelling new fan theory, it's Jim Bob's fault, not Jana's choice, that she remains unmarried at 30.

While Jana Duggar has worn pants before, her outfits still must confirm to Jim Bob's sexist rules. After all, she is not yet married.

But when Jana went to Las Vegas, her outfit was so strange that it has Duggar fans scratching their heads. WTF are we seeing?

Certain things simply don't go together.

Like, peanut butter and mayonnaise, for instance. Or perhaps The Bachelor and true love.

We poke a lot of fun at the Duggars and the frequency of their bizarre scandals.

But the fact is, there's nothing funny about some of the crimes that the family has been tied to over the years.

Jana Duggar has her own personal Instagram account...

... and this has gotten her in some trouble with fans and/or with members of her own family, considering such self-promotion goes against those infamously strict Duggar rules.
