Pregnant Jessa Duggar May Flee Duggarville As Joy-Anna Turns 18 Amid Reports That Josh Duggar Also Molested Her


The Duggar family is never dull. Whether it’s Josh Duggar’s scandals exploding yet again after new details emerge of his use of the Ashley Madison site to cheat on his wife, Anna, or Michelle Duggar preaching to new wives about how to handle their sex lives, it’s always intriguing. Now one of the 19 Kids and Counting stars, Jessa Duggar Seewald, and her husband, Ben, are on baby watch countdown as they await their first child on November 1, reported Fashion & Style.

And some reports have indicated that Jessa will follow the path of her sister Jill Duggar Dillard by exiting Duggarville after her baby is born. While continuously sharing photos of her blossoming baby bump, Jessa also shared that she and Ben may move after baby Seewald (for now named Quincy) is born.

“If Ben’s seminary that he’s looking into requires us to move, then we might eventually move,” explained Jessa.

Both she and her sister Jill have been brutally impacted by the reports that Josh Duggar molested five underage girls, including four sisters and a family babysitter. Josh subsequently confessed to having an affair and a porn addiction, as well as using the Ashley Madison site for marital affairs.

TLC has announced a series called Jill & Jessa: Counting On that features the two sisters, but the preview revealed that the 19 Kids and Counting reboot also shows the sisters talking about how the public awareness that Josh molested them has hurt.

As Jessa awaits the birth of her first baby, the Duggar family is celebrating the 18th birthday of Joy-Anna Duggar, reported Entertainment Tonight.

Turning to social media to share their birthday wishes, Michelle and Jim Bob praised their daughter for her sweet attitude.

“Happy 18th birthday Joy-Anna! You live up to your name! You bring JOY into the lives of others and your love for God and faithfulness to His word inspire us all!” posted the Duggar matriarch and patriarch. “You are a beautiful, sweet, enthusiastic encourager! We love you so much!”

But is it possible that Joy-Anna now could reveal new dark Duggar family secrets? When Josh was molesting his sisters and the babysitter, Joy-Anna was 4- to 5-years-old. Now, as she becomes an adult, will she turn on the Duggars and attack her brother just as Jessa did?

As the Inquisitr reported, the police report contains allegations that when he was 14, Josh reportedly molested a sister who was 5-years-old. The report references Jim Bob’s version of what happened.

“[Jim Bob] said that [Josh] was reading to his 5 year old sister and as she was sitting on his lap, he had touched her breasts and vaginal area… [Jim Bob] said that [redacted] then ran out of the room and called him and told him what he had done… during this time frame, his daughter had been standing in the laundry room and [Josh] had put his hand under her dress.”

Of the sisters who have self-identified as victims of Josh, Jessa has been the one thus far to turn her back on her brother, reported Us Weekly.

Jessa did so by posting a link to a blog authored by Michael Seewald, her father-in-law.

“It distresses me to say that Josh Duggar’s greatest sin is a byproduct of the sum total of his secretly sinful lifestyle,” wrote Michael in the blog post shared by Jessa. “With the name of God on his lips [Josh] lived a covert and extensive lifestyle of evil.”

In his own statement on the topic, Josh described himself as a hypocrite.

“Secretly over the last several years [I have] been viewing pornography on the internet and this became a secret addiction and I became unfaithful to my wife,” wrote Duggar in his confession.

Now, as he stays in a rehab for sex addiction treatment, Josh was not present at Joy-Anna Duggar’s birthday. But will Joy-Anna follow Jessa’s lead? What do you think? Post your comments below.
