Tamra Barney Not Supporting Josh Duggar Despite Earlier Comments: ‘Wrong Is Wrong’

Tamra Barney has been on The Real Housewives of Orange County for years, so she knows that the media tends to blow things out of proportions. Barney has shared many private things in the press, including her ugly divorce from Simon Barney and her losing partial custody of her daughter.

Last week, the news broke that Josh Duggar from 19 Kids and Counting had been inappropriate with his siblings years ago. Tamra Barney had a few comments about the news, saying that the story may not be as reported.

According to a new tweet, Tamra Barney is now experiencing a bit of a backlash after speaking out about the Duggar case, where Josh Duggar has revealed that he has fondled some of his siblings years ago. Tamra felt that the press may have blown up the case a bit to make it worse than what it was, but this didn’t sit well with her followers.

“I don’t know the whole story and I know the press likes to blow things up,” Tamra Barney revealed on her Facebook, adding, “My question is…did someone do this to him? Is he a victim as well? Just a thought…”

Of course, Barney did address the victims in this case, and she did express her sadness for what had happened to them. But she did point out that maybe Josh wasn’t the bad guy that the press made him out to be. And while Barney may have had some good intentions with her post, it didn’t sit well with her fans.

“Please can people stop making excuses for this families ignorance they disgust me,” one fan wrote back to Tamra, while another revealed, “He has admitted to it and the police report was made public. Not a witch hunt.”

But one fan brought up her own granddaughter. According to the Inquisitr, Tamra recently became a grandmother for the first time and she has been gushing about the little baby girl. And one of Tamra’s followers put everything in perspective when she made the comparison to baby Ava.

“Why would you have mixed emotions!!! Look at your beautiful Granddaughter!!! If this happened to her would you still feel the same!!!!” the follower wrote, which had Tamra Barney set the record straight on Twitter this morning with the statement, “I don’t think anyone is siding with the Dugger’s especially ME! Wrong is wrong no matter how you slice it.”

How do you think Tamra Barney handled the situation? Do you think she defended his actions?
