Not All In The Family

SOLVED!

[Blind Gossip] This family has earned a living off of having their drama play out on TV.

While they present a unified front for the TV audience, that is not the way things are playing out in private!

When one of their family members got into trouble, all in the family pretended to rally around and support that person.

Behind the scenes, however, it was a completely different story!

While some family members want to see his name cleared, not all of them feel that way.

[Sister 1] and [Sister 2] will never say this in public, but they believe that Brother 1 is evil. They do everything they can to avoid him in real life. This has been going on for a long time. If he is at a relative’s house, they refuse to go over there.

They do not like him and they do not support him. They are completely repulsed by him and they never want to see him again. They both hope he goes to prison for a long time.

So all that family unity you saw on TV?

Fake.

But it was the only way to stay on the air.

Is there a lawyer in the family who could help either side get what they want?

Family: The Duggars

Sister 1 and Sister 2: Jinger and Jill

The Duggar family has starred in two TV reality shows, 19 Kids and Counting and Counting On.

Back in June, your friends at Blind Gossip told you that two of the Duggar daughters had splintered off from the rest of the family.

They believe that their brother Josh was a horrific predator and they refuse to play along with the rest of their family in supporting Josh.

Now comes public confirmation that Jinger Duggar Vuolo and Jill Duggar Dillard are no longer aligned with their family!

From People:

Duggars Splinter amid Josh’s Legal Drama

The Duggar family’s insular world, meticulously cultivated and controlled by patriarch Jim Bob, appears to be splintering.

After oldest son Josh Duggar’s arrest in April on charges of receiving and possessing child p*rnography, TLC cut all ties with the Duggars and pulled the plug on Counting On — fracturing the unity of the once tight-knit family and leaving their future uncertain.

“They aren’t as close as they once were because of all of Josh’s legal drama,” a family source tells PEOPLE in this week’s issue. “It’s creating a lot of stress on them — although the majority of the family is acting like nothing has happened.”

The family makes its living by being a family. That facade of unity is what made them money and gave them two television shows.

Jim Bob Duggar, 56, his wife Michelle, 54, and their 19 kids — the stars of two wildly popular reality shows about their deeply conservative Christian family — have weathered crises before.

But what’s unfolding now is different than the 2015 scandal that forced the network to cancel the family’s first show, 19 Kids and Counting, after a 2006 police investigation surfaced revealing that Josh had been accused of m*lesting five underage girls (including at least two of his sisters) in 2002 and 2003 when he was 14.

After the initial scandal was revealed, the entire family – including the sisters who were victims – came out and supported Josh.

Ugh. That had to have been an awful experience for them.

First they were victimized by their brother.

Then came the part where they had to publicly forgive him and defend him in order to make the family look unified.

We can’t even imagine the terrible pressure these young women felt to have to pretend that everything was fine.

Three months later, a massive data hack revealed that Josh was a dues-paying member of Ashley Madison, a cheating website, and he soon confessed to being unfaithful to his wife Anna Duggar and having an addiction to p*rnography.

Yes, despite the public humiliation and the gaslighting of his sisters and the ruination of his family, Josh was still engaging in the same horrific behavior.

His wife, Anna, stood by him and, even worse, continued to have children with her cheating and child p*rn-loving husband.

After some time in a faith-based rehabilitation center in Illinois, he returned to his family.

By October 2016, Jinger (Duggar) Vuolo along with her new husband Jeremy Vuolo, began to put distance between herself and her family by moving to Laredo, Texas, then to Los Angeles.

The following year, older sister Jill (Duggar) Dillard — married to recent law school grad Derick Dillard — quit Counting On and said she had learned that Jim Bob was earning $25,000 to $45,000 an episode for the family’s participation while she’d never received any compensation.

The 30-year-old mom of two, who hasn’t seen her parents in more than two years, told PEOPLE last year that she’s at peace with lifestyle choices that would have been unthinkable years ago.

“We wanted more control of our own lives,” Jill said.

The moving and the money were the public excuses Jinger and Jill made to separate from their family.

The private reason is that they both believe that Josh is evil. They want him to go to prison. They do not want to be anywhere near him or be close to anyone who supports him. Thus Jill’s admission that she hasn’t even seen her parents in two years.

Note that Jill’s husband, Derick Dillard, is an attorney. Derick has been very vocal lately about the pressure that the Duggar parents – particularly Jim Bob Duggar – put on the victims to simply forgive and forget and keep filming.

Derick Dillard has said that Jim Bob, “will attack the victims if they threaten his show.”

Of course it would be better if Jinger and Jill spoke for themselves. For now, it appears that Derick is speaking for them.

Josh Duggar will be going to trial soon.

With his trial date just three months away, [Josh] is feeling confident he won’t be charged, according to the family source: “He really thinks he’s going to get out of it.”

And Jim Bob and Michelle “are very much standing by their son,” says the source.

“Jim Bob always wants to sweep things under the rug,” the family source shares. “He’s never going to talk about the scandal because it’s bad for business.”

While their family and faith may tell them to forgive, Jinger and Jill will no longer pretend that everything is fine and that they support their brother.

We wish all of Josh Duggar’s victims well in their recovery.

    Duggars
    One sis is Jill, for sure
    The other sister….not sure.
    Torn between Jinger, Jana or Joy-Ann. Leaning towards Joy

  2. taupeantlers says

    I’ve never seen the show, so I don’t know or care which of his sisters this is, but I’m glad to read this. I hope he serves time and is prohibited for life from being around his own children without supervision. He clearly has something very, very wrong with him.

    Bill Cosby and his real family, The Cosby Show some agree on Cosby the other half did not agree on Cosby.

    Family: The Duggars
    Brother: Josh
    Sister 1: Jill
    Sister 2; Jinger or Jessa

    I don’t really watch much reality TV

    Least favorite: Kardasians

    It’s nice to know that some of the sisters in the Duggar family not only trust themselves enough to recognize they want nothing to do with the monster that is their brother, they’re strong enough to have set healthy boundaries. If they chose to publicly share how they feel and what they’re doing to separate themselves, I think they’d be lauded for their honesty and people wouldn’t just support them, they’d rally.

    • Acheronbeach says

      This. Jill’s husband Derick openly criticized her parents, saying Jill was abused. Jing’s husband posted “great day” when the show got canceled and then deleted it.

      I wonder if Joy avoids him as well. She and Austin seem to have avoided the cameras lately and she was dealt the worst hand in this situation.

  10. Lurky Lou says

    Ohh this is the Duggars, with Josh Duggar being Brother #1.

    Sister #1: Jill (Duggar) Dillard
    Sister #2: Jinger (Duggar) Vuolo

    I think it’s these two as they seem to be the most removed from the family.

  11. toronto says

    Duggars

    The sisters are Jinger and Jill Duggar, who both seem to be over that family’s shenanigans.

    Nothing beats the early Kardashian era (2007-2012). They were so real and pretty funny. Now they’re just very obviously disingenuous.

  13. Ramblingrose says

    This is obviously the Duggar family and the errant son is the repulsive Josh. My guess is that the sisters who don’t support him are Jill and Jinger. I would hope that they ALL want him locked up but who knows.

  14. blubelle says

    This sounds like that awful Duggar family with all the J names. Glad to hear they won’t be on TV anymore, although I’ve never seen a single episode… yuk!

  16. SueSue says

    Oh goodness, this has to be the Duggars, Creepiest Family of the Year, every year.

  17. Meanderer95 says

    Josh Duggar is disgusting. Sisters are Jessa and Jill. And no one in that family is a lawyer; none of them went to college. A few married college graduates though.

    • Acheronbeach says

      To think that Josh said he wanted to be a lawyer during the first special – after he been caught molesting five little girls. Barf.

  18. gailpow says

    Duggar family! Dysfunctional personified! The sisters are Jill and Jessa, who were both molested by brother Josh, when they were children. Glad their reality show was cancelled.

    • wfreshie says

      josh actually molested 4 of his sisters age ranging from oldest was 11 to the youngest being 5

  22. SayItAintSo says

    Duggar’s

    Jill Dillard married to Derick
    Jinger V

    It’s sad the parents are funding the brother, they need to stop enabling him. They are hurting him, not helping.

    They didn’t help their daughters who were victims

    • Acheronbeach says

      Nope. Jessa fully drinks the kool aid. When Josh was charged with possessing CP, she vaguely defended him, basically equating it to adult *, even as the prosecutor said it was some of the worst he’d seen in his entire career.

  27. gingerbread says

    Family: The Duggars- Josh Duggar
    Sister 1: Jill Dillard. She’s pretty much cut ties with her entire family.
    Sister 2: ? I’m not sure. Maybe Jinger? She and her family have moved to California.

  29. badgerette85 says

    This obviously is the Dugards.
    Op- don’t watch much reality, except HGTV which is staged too.

  31. amagod121 says

    That Dugger brother who got in trouble for his “love” of siblings.

    Unknown as to which sisters disapprove BUT I hold them responsible for playing along as supporting him on TV. Very, very wrong to do.

  34. WheresBeet says

    The poor sisters abused by the Duggar child molester. Its so sad. Question: was he born that way or was he abused himself, and who did it?

  35. ILUVCA4evr says

    The Duggar’s of course.

    ‘Sexpest Josh’ is the evil one

    Sister 1 is Jill Duggar Dillard (now ‘the outcast’)
    Sister 2 is Jana Duggar

    I thought maybe Jessa also, except she seems to love the limelight too much and always seems to be nearby when Sexpest Josh is around.

    Least Fave Family to watch? On tv, the Kardash/Jenners, in print it would be the Duke/Dss of Dread, formerly known as Sussex family.

  36. winterrogue says

    This has got to be about Josh Duggar (he was caught with child pornography and had also molested several family members as well as have an account at Ashley Maddison dating/hook up sight)
    I imagine his sister Jill and Jessa are the 2 sisters that want nothing to do with him which I’m not surprised about.. I am however surprised the rest of his family is more forgiving … I mean he is really sick and definitely evil.

  40. Chloe74 says

    This has to be those wacko Duggars. I’m glad the show is canceled, is was a circus to begin with. They single handedly contributed to global overpopulation.

  46. AnnieBaby says

    Family: The Duggars

    The sisters who hate Josh are probably Jill and Jinger. Joy prob avoids him too. Jills husband is a lawyer so hopefully he helps the girls sue Jim Bob and TLC for profiting off of their pain for all these years
