I’m starting to get a weird/excited feeling about Jessa Duggar, you guys. She’s so desperate for attention and she really, really does not want to get a real job. I’m starting to get the feeling that she’d be willing to do ANYTHING to get another reality show. She would even be willing to do a reality show based on the concept of “breaking away” from the Duggar cult. My evidence? People Magazine keeps on getting leaks from an “insider” in the Duggar family and the leaks are always about how Josh has ruined everything for everyone. The leaks also mention how poor Jessa is so sad that no one is paying attention to her pregnancy.
Further evidence? Jessa has been one of the few (maybe the only?) Duggar on social media in the past two weeks. Following Josh’s Ashley Madison implosion, Jessa tweeted a link to a sermon about how adultery is terrible AND she tweeted a link to her father-in-law’s blog post about how Josh is not a “true Christian.” What else? She’s trying to promote her book and she when she was announced as the speaker at The Southern Women’s Show in Alabama (ALABAMA!!), she got a ton of online backlash because she really doesn’t have anything to offer Southern women. They would probably think she had something to offer if she wrote a book about escaping the cult, wouldn’t they? And now this… this very interesting story from People Magazine:
Shock has now turned to anger in Duggarville. As a disgraced Josh Duggar is away seeking treatment at Reformer’s Unanimous in Rockford, Illinois, a faith-based rehab center that’s reportedly helping him overcome his proclivity for infidelity and pornography, tension is brewing back at home.
When it comes to some members of wife Anna’s family, “They’re very angry,” a source close to Anna tells PEOPLE exclusively in this week’s issue. “They want her and the kids to get away from him.”
And for some, it seems Josh’s extended stint in rehab may not be enough distance between them. “They would really like him to just disappear,” says the source.
While the source says Anna’s parents, Mike and Suzette Keller, remain in Josh’s corner, he’s losing support from some of those closest to him.
Just this week his sister Jessa Seewald broke ranks, posting a link to her father-in-law’s scathing public indictment of Josh, in which he called him “wicked” and a “hypocritical Christian.”
First of all, it’s still up in the air as to whether Josh is actually in that Illinois rehab facility. I’d say there’s a 50/50 chance he’s not actually there. As for people wanting Josh to “just disappear”… part of me believes that they want to shun Josh as a way to avoid examining their own belief system and the morality they so publicly espouse. Another part wonders if Jim-Bob is going to find a way to make Josh “disappear” for the good of the family.
Photos courtesy of Duggars’ social media.
Jessa’s facial expressions are insufferable.
That’s all I’ve got. Everything else has already been said about this mess.
The raised eyebrow surprised look is totally the Duggar version of duck lips. And about as flattering.
That and the smirk. Like she is always so superciliously amused at the antics of everyone around her, because she is so above it all. (I know it’s a lot to read in a selfie, but she is SO annoying.) I get it, she wants to live on easy street on TV money. You know what sweetie? Get a real job like the rest of the world.
She has a very long, Jay Lenoish jawline. But she is cute….she should defy the family (her father and husband and maybe God) and cut her hair shorter and it wouldn’t drag her face down. Just a helpful hint Jess, cross that line, be a rebel….
VAUVERT – supercilious!!! Ten points for Gryffindor.
It’s her husband’s face that always puzzles me. Maybe he’s just a person with really red eyes, but to me he looks stoned in every. Single. Picture.
I have the same problem and am (unfortunately) never stoned. I have blue, sensitive eyes that redden when the sun hits them, if it is windy, if there is pollen in the air, if they feel like it.
I agree. I actually don’t think it’s so much the redness, but his expression.
Full disclosure, I smoke weed a couple times a day, every day.
You can recognize other people that do too. He has that look.
This one is desperate for her own t.v. show. She wants to climb back on that lucrative gravy train so bad it hurts. She’s trying to keep herself relevant with the constant selfies she’s posting online of her pregnancy belly. Without a show she’s just like every other housewife out there, nobody special, not enough money, struggling from paycheck to paycheck, whatever her husband can bring in with his 9-5.
RR, how do you think I’m able to recognize that look as well? *wink* I know a member of the brotherhood when I see one. I feel you. Along with his red eyes, he’s got that half-awake, giggly puppy look about him.
Is this the 19 year old husband? I get them all mixed up. Does he have a real job? Are they living on the family’s property?
Yep – looks stoned.
@sochan That is because she KNOWS that people are calling her the prettiest Duggar, so she thinks she deserves all the attention the smug, thirsty, narcisstic little piece of work. Sorry for being snarky you guys. She really grates on my poor nerves. You have no compassion for my poor nerves <——please read this in Mrs. Bennet's voice.
Ha! Laughed out loud and I’m having a Very Bad Day. Thank you.
So does that make Jessa Kitty?
I think Jessa is totally Lydia, a pretty, vapid rebel. Now we just have to wait for her to scandalize the family.
Jessa is definitely Lydia. Jinger would be Kitty. Her faithful follower.
None of them are Elizabeth. They aren’t worthy of her awesomeness.
I meant Lydia, sorry. I had Mary in mind as I had to stop my kid from dominating the piano at a dinner party recently, and then defaulted to Kitty. Good thing I’m not a Duggar–if I can’t keep 5 sisters straight, imagine 19? I wonder if they ever forget their children’s names–“hey JimBob/Jessa/Jared/John, I mean you over there, J-something.”
Ha, I love the Sense and Sensibility refernce and Jessa is totally Lydia! Jim Bob may be Mrs. Bennet (the mother), not sure if he has ever used the word ‘vexed’ but he is a big drama Queen.
Hahahahaha Lk.
I think the parents should stay away too. As awful as his actions are, Josh didn’t grow up in a vacuum, and it’s a little odd that the parents are so quick to disown him.
@LK when I read your comment I had my first laugh in a totally worthless miserable day..I am going to print it and post it above my desk..Thanks
@Lk EXACTLY. You nailed it.
I hae something new to say. Pull your damn hair back if you’re wearing an apron! It means you’re mising ingredients and all that hair is likely to make it in to a few pancakes orwhatever. Apron always means tie your hair back.
The rest has all been said….
In her cult the women are obsessed with their hair. It has to be long — never short – and is always worn down in order to accentuate the “veil” effect. This is based on a Bible passage (don’t ask me which one, I just used to know some very Christian girls in high school who were like this) about hair being the glory of a woman. I’m okay with it, do what you want. But in a kitchen with an apron on? Get real.
Sochan
I get that. And i’m not demanding she tie it up. Just pull the sides away from your face. She’s worn braids to the back before.
I hate them, everything they stand for publicly and indulge in privately and I’m sure if I watched any of this woman’s interviews etc. I would change my mind, but solely from these photos I was actually thinking how strikingly pretty she is. All eyes and lips and cheekbones.
SHE LOOKS LIKE HOWDY DOODY
I’m begging you…please stop with the Duggars. STAAAAAAAHP!
Yeah, we have a real opportunity right now to consign them to obscurity. More shame me for clicking the link of course.
+1
But it’s kind of the same thing as me not shopping at Walmart: no one would notice.
Yes – STOP The DUGGAR COVERAGE please!!! Christian Famewhores.
Just like the Kardarshians and Cracken Blohan, I’m no longer going to click on Duggar crap articles.
I wish they’d all disappear – right along with Josh. And they can take that clerk in Kentucky with them.
That’s a nice kitchen. How these uneducated brats support themselves? Seems like all they do is pray and go on social media.
The tv show, selling books, public speaking and appearances. I think that her husband is working for Jim boon in towe truck driving or son other family business.
Right, but now that the TV show is done…?
There’s still a possibility that it could be revived. The family needs it to and TLC is still treading like they want it back when no one is looking.
Best way to get to these people is to cut off their money. Suddenly some people will change their beliefs if it means income. I bet they’re likely for this.
Her brothers remodeled the kitchen on Jim Bob’s dime while they were on the honeymoon.
IT SCARES ME THAT YOU KNOW THIS
Duggar madness!
I wonder whose brilliant idea it was to make Jessa the main speaker at the women’s conference. They really should be getting at that person
Child molestation, okay. Affair with a consenting women, throw him out. Priorities, people.
You know what I’m not shocked at all that Josh’s molestation was dismissed.
It’s sad but apparently if the molester is close enough in age to the victim there’s a lot of wiggle room for how people judge it. In Josh’s case it doesn’t help that even among staunch conservatives his upbringing was severe and restrictive so some part of them admits that maybe a horny sexually confused 14 yr old got desperate and touched the only things he had available (I do not agree with this).
But Josh is a child no more. Ashley Maddison is adult Josh all day and it calls into question everything he’s claimed and fought for and that they’ve (and this is most important) PUBLICLY supported him and his family for. Now it’s an issue because eithers he’s just a sick bad seed or their whole system doesn’t work.
So guess which one they’d rather be true for their sake? Ding ding sing! Josh is just sick and front hugs are a-okay!
Kaiser, no, she doesn’t want to break away from the Dugger cult at least as far as her belief system, maybe for a show distance herself. She loves her family.
I’ve read her twitter blogs and she is as fundamentalist as you get in her beliefs, disturbingly so. Because she’s feisty I had the opinion of her that maybe she was more open-minded. Wow, is she not. She wants her followers to know they should be very afraid of God and his wrath and they aren’t Christians if they they think he’s not judging. She is adamant that we should fear God and too many don’t. She’s militant in her fundamentalist views.
She is hungry for fame to continue, though. I agree. How else is her 20-year-old husband going to support the army of kids they want to have? And she loves the adoration of her fans.
I have to agree with Jayna. Her husband and his parents are just as involved in a similar cult-like religion as the Duggars are, so breaking away from her family and falling in with her husband’s religion more closely wouldn’t mean much changes for her! Also, she and Ben are extremely religiously opinionated and are constantly quoting scripture and she is always posting and tweeting her views like the Holocaust was like abortion and brought on by the Evolutionists. She’s just not as well liked as some of the others by the public, and if her and Ben want a show, they better have more going on than just her having a baby.
It’s possible she could. She could act that way for a show or create great enough distance it’s almost the same in some eyes she’s breaking off. If the allure of a show and that money stream since it’s their only income means they need to act a certain they will. It’s a matter of survival.
Why is she wearing an apron with her name on it? In case she forgets? That’s weird
Well, it’s not as though they value intellect or education. I am just surprised it’s not spelled out phonetically.
All the Duggar kids wear clothes with their names so Squirrel doesn’t have to learn them
Good one.
LOL!!!
Eh, as a newlywed, you get excited about your new name. Probably a wedding gift.
Also I imagine with a billion siblings growing up and always in thrift clothes, personally monogrammed things with your name on it were rare, if not non-existent, so it’s probably a minor luxury.
This family is annoying AF, but that stuff I can kind of get.
When I was young, my mother sewed some devastatingly trendy tracksuits with neon patches and each of our initials on it. As the youngest, I wore mine, then my sister’s, then my brother’s.
There’s so much to go at them on. This is reaching.
That said I was gifted an apron with my family nickname. And FMORC has an apron that reads “KISS FMORC” friends gave him while at University.
It’s also far from uncommon with newlyweds. smh
Of course they’re angry, he made their lucrative contracts disappear.
No, GopherBJ and Squirrel made this mess. They have no one to blame but themselves They had no business going on TV and marketing themselves as America’s Most Christian Family TM when they knew full well what Josh did as a teenager. And when they knew they had done everything in their power to protect him from real consequences as well as actual mental health treatment. AND when they knew they had done nothing to meaningfully help his victims and instead almost certainly blamed them for causing Josh to “stumble.”
Then rather than admit they were wrong and actually demonstrate some degree of insight, atonement, and repentance they went on national TV and blamed everyone EXCEPT themselves and their messed up “religious” teachings for InTouch Weekly’s outing of their sordid past. And when the Ashley Madison hackers released the user data, again they seemingly attempted to manipulate the public by issuing multiple “statements.” Again it was all porn’s fault. Or stress. Or something. No atonement. No genuine and heartfelt examination of how Josh’s actions have impacted and will continue to affect innocent people such as his wife and children.
GopherBJ and Squirrel made one hell of a bed for themselves. Now they must lie in it.
At this very moment Josh is stuffing singles down a strippers g-string.
I think Jessa is angry that her sister got a ton of attention during her pregnancy and she’s getting none. Maybe she’s having a flashback to her childhood, being overlooked and craving for a little one on one attention.
Maybe she should schedule a 15 minute meeting with Anna’s mom to discuss her feelings.
HAHAHA!
I think she may be regretting the marriage and baby choice. I think she married Ben and got immediately knocked up because it seemed like a “sure thing” as far as fame, TV, etc goes. Then her brother messed everything up and she’s stuck with those choices. Now she’s flailing about trying to rescue her chances at fame. IMO her motivation wasn’t godly or about faith etc., it was a calculated decision to help her achieve her goals.
So, yes I think she’s likely to break away from the cult….if she can see it being a lucrative enough deal for her personally.
I don’t think she regrets the marriage because it gave her freedom (not the same freedom as normal Americans, but way more than her non married sisters) but she definitley regrets getting preg so fast if there’s no $$$ benefit to it.
Jessa is all up in her feelings because Jill’s birth of child was televised and Josh’s shenanigans knocked her chance to show herself birthing her kid right off the table,….her chances, not the baby. Like someone said above, she and her in-laws forgave Josh for diddling her and her sisters, but just can’t take the fact he banged a woman outside of marriage. The Duggars can throw rocks at Josh but they’re getting more attention now then they ever did before….much to our regret.
God would REALLY gain some street cred if he would send a flood, some fire and a few million locusts to the Duggar address…just saying…
I think he just did, And I’m an Atheist Heathen Pagan.
Heyo!
Why should she have to get a job? If her husband is providing for the family and she wants to be a stay-at-home mom, more power to her.
Agreed
Right,,,,why would she have to get a “real” job if her husband was able to support their family. Granted driving a tow truck for daddy is not going to fill the coffers like a reality show but he may be able to parlay his experience in fame whoring into something else.
Is he the guy who was in college for accounting and quit halfway through to live in the guest house? Because Jim-Bob said he would employ him?
Of course that’s what they want him to do. It’d be a heck of a lot easier to just bury their head in the sand than to actually confront the real issues that caused all of this – their warped views and teachings, which they have passed down to their children.
I wish Josh would go away and take Squirrel, GopherBJ and all their rodent spawn
And never come back. That must be part of the deal!!!
Except the gay kid. I have hope for him.
Can you or someone explain these nicknames? I missed something.
I’m going to start calling reality television media-sponsored welfare. These types are always railing about people being on welfare but when their paycheck flies away suddenly they’re ready to do any and everything to get it back.
Media-sponsored welfare.
I just don’t give anyone from this family credit for thinking they’ll escape. They’re not the ones. Someone somewhere though…acting quiet and going along with the program while tormented and seeking escape is setting up their ducks to gtfo of this Pleasantville Nightmare.
Godspeed to that person.
That’s what I hate! They were so vocal about people who have to rely on welfare, while the whole family got free medical (from JB’s ONE stint as some kind of politician), they don’t pay taxes (house is a church, donchaknow), and they completely relied on reality show proceeds to support their cult/harem while claiming it was all from ‘frugal shopping’ and a couple rental houses. Now they’re claiming they’re broke because of “Josh’s scandals” while flying their Duggar Private Plane to IL for double-fake-rehab. These people are truly despicable.
Oh, I’m sure they really are angry with him. For causing them to lose everything they had, of course. I mean, this is the Duggars we’re talking about. There’s no way they’re mad about what he did to those girls, right?
these people and their twisted religion!!! by shunning Josh, nevermind everything else, they are showing that they are in fact Pharisees. not christian at all.
Well, Jim Bob and Michelle better brace themselves; now that the kids are moving on to the adulthood, the shits will keep hitting the fan over and over again.
19 times at minimum 😉
Hah, amen to that!
And just a couple of months ago, she was sitting in a kitchen with her sister, basically defending his behavior as no big deal.
She just looks so smug and full of herself. Maybe that’s not accurate, because I don’t watch the show or follow her. But that is the impression I have of her. Thirsty and smug.
I thing the smug is genetic. I used to call the pedo, “Smuggar Duggar”. I think this one is going to be gifted that name now.
She really is impressed with herself, isn’t she?
Impressed with herself for accomplishing exactly nothing with her life except marrying a man-child and getting knocked up promptly. Except now that no one is paying attention to her and people are actively questioning why she should EVER be given a platform to speak anywhere, she is feeling horribly sorry for herself. Wah.
The self-righteousness of the super-religious, who just know they have God all figured out and the rest of us are going to hell.
Kim Davis, the county clerk and 3-time divorcee who is refusing to issue marriage licenses to same sex couples in KY – same thing. God told her what to do.
AGREED
PLUS……..SHE LOOKS LIKE HD
Buffalo Bob: Say kids, what time is it?
Kids: It’s Howdy Doody Time!
It’s Howdy Doody Time.
It’s Howdy Doody Time.
I wish it were possible to carpetbomb these people with critical thinking skills.
I wish there was a “like” button.
The cult did this to Josh. Who knows who this guy could have turned out to be if he was allowed to go to school with his peers instead of sitting at home being a babysitter for his baby-making-machine parents. I truly doubt that Josh is the only kid in that family who has issues. It is just a matter of time.
Thank you for not posting a photo of the pedo. Seriously. I have a visceral reaction to his smarmy mug.
This may be off topic, but I thought fundies like this were very anti-vanity? But in every picture I see of this girl she has her hair done, makeup on, perfectly sculpted eyebrows and is mugging it up for attention. I grew up in a church where women weren’t allowed to wear makeup or even color their hair, so I’m just wondering where they draw the line. You can get a perm & your eyebrows waxed, but you shouldn’t wear your hair too short or wear pants? So confused…
Gothard teaches that women should be pleasing to the eye. Especially they need to have long wavy hair and sparkling eyes.
It’s some complicated, impossible gray area – bce girls can’t sexually entice men in any way (hence the frumpy wardrobes and no dancing etc) they can do other things to appear attractive to men and land a mate.
Something like that I think.
They are “anti-vanity” in a sense that they want you to think they look like that naturally-god graced them with natural beauty when in reality they curl their hair and wear make up.
I wonder if Jim-Bob will send Josh on a mission to Antarctica — he can start the first ever penguin-centered ministry.
What did penguins ever do to deserve that?!?
I fear for the penguins – they can’t run that fast…
“But the penguins tempted me with their slow running!”
Hopefully he can get up close and personal with a couple of hungry leopard seals
Umm… Are we forgetting about that scene in Happy Feet with the Penguins being extremely suggestive?
Maybe Gopher will make the chinless wonder disappear. Like disappear 6 ft under their backyard. Hey no one ever said people didn’t kill under then name of religion. At this point, Chinless is ruining the family brand.
Man! How heartbreaking to shun your child. Even if the child is the worst person on Gods earth, a parent’s love should be unconditional. (Please note: I’m just saying love them; I’m not advocating allowing your son to continue to molest his sisters and such.) If these zealots truly believe they are unconditionally loved and forgiven by God, then I hope at least they do not shun their own blood because he is a hypocrite. And I’m no Duggar apologist, but Josh is definetly a product of that environment and a of a lack of therapy and probably also a product of molestation himself. Jim Bob and Michelle should look into removing that log from their own eye before they cast their son away.
I have a feeling she may still get a TLC one-off birth special, because TLC seems f*ing clueless about how the general public really feels about this family. If she got a special, I doubt very many people would watch it – but I wonder if she would still consider that a victory?
Juuust wanted to say I love your name. I watched Face/off for the first time the other day and I don’t even know how to describe how awesome/bonkers it was.
well we all wish the duggars would disappear……for good …why are they famous again???? for pumping out babies to the point where the mom near died?? for having questionable beliefs?? For not allowing the women to have a purpose other than as brood mares??? Ugh
Thanks! That’s interesting, I haven’t seen Face/Off, I should check it out. I’m a big astronomy/mythology geek, so I chose that name based on the twin stars.
Of course they’re upset about adultery but molesting his siblings was A-ok. Jim Bob is just mad he got caught and now they don’t have their precious reality show anymore.
Also, is anyone else but me irrationally irritated at the picture of her in the kitchen wearing the Mrs. Seewald apron?
Yep! It’s because she has NO identity now as “Jessa”. She is Mrs.Seewald, a mere slave to her husbands whims, because he is “The Man” and she must submit to him. She has no “self” anymore. (she never really did, but..)
What you said x 1000
Disappear? How about just “STFU”?
Go Jessa Go! And take Jinger and that older one whose name I’m too fatigued to google right now (I just realized I called Jessa “Jenna” throughout this text)!
Purely superficial: I think Jessa’s looks have grown on me, strong chin and all. I think she’s pretty.
Vanity, thy name is Jessa Duggar.
God would like to have a word with you, except that, you know, you and your ilk have warped the message of Jesus. But…whatever. Right Jessa? Gotta be SEEN for it to be HOLY! Right? You can’t just live a Godly life without seeking fame for it, can you Jessa?. Think about that Jessa. You are on par with Kim Kardashian now. Look her up. You are just a fundie Kim K. Pfffft!
She always looks like a smug duck.
i was mooching around on Dlisted and almost choked on my lunch on his latest article about the Duggars – he was basically implying (aka Fan Fiction) that Joshie knocked up Bristol Palin (after meeting on Ashley Madison) and is actually hiding out in Alaska with her. Funny as hell.
As much as these people love to quite Bible verses, why do they never quote the ones on promoting ones self at the expense of innocent followers? Or the ones where it is wrong to live and long for possessions like money? Or where it is the man’s job to work hard and provide for his family? They pick and choose the verses that suit their needs. You cant tell me these people didn’t have some idea of the real Josh and kept it under wraps for the love of money and fame. They all need to go away and work and struggle like everybody else has to that doesn’t fall into a gravy train!
MyTwoCents – those verses don’t apply to them, duh. It’s a real picky and choosy kind of Christianity. I guess I’m guilty of the same, but the verses I follow are the ones that urge me to have kindness and tolerance for my fellow humans, especially those who are less fortunate than I am. My bad.
Loopholes. That’s why. They take money to further spread their teachings. And why spend that on themselves? To promote an appearance that with their teachings you too can have this. Sort of like it’s a perk of their god’s love.
I hesitate to even call them Christians. They’re not. They took a concept and butchered it to fit their contorting beliefs. And while that can be said for most religions making the same Christian based claims there’s 1 simple bit you can’t change. Be how Jesus was said to be. Be kind and accepting. Be forgiving no matter what. They judge more than they forgive. And you must do as they command to even apply for that forgiveness. It’s all BS and imo is far from Christianity.
John Oliver’s Our Lady Of Perpetual Exemption is more of a Christian base than these people display.
SO much THIS!^
There was a blind about this yesterday too, I wonder where they go when Jim Bob kicks them out of his mother’s house.
Poor Jessa. People are finally calling out her abuser for being a piece of crap, but not because of what he did to her. Of course she’s breaking ranks.
Does anyone else see this as a coy suggestion from the Duggar clan to Josh to kill himself? Because that’s what it sounds like to me.
They probably think they’d garner enough sympathy to get their show back if he offed himself.
She has the vibe – and always has – of a girl who’s very, very pretty and KNOWS IT.
With that being said, I’m all for it. I wanna see her break ranks and go rogue. I’d watch that shizz, who am I kidding, LOL.
I’m under the impression she can’t get a job. She not allowed to read books. Those are all her husbands things. That said, even if she could, she doesn’t want to work. She seems pretty entitled.
I can’t blame her for loving her looks. The way she was raised, being female means pushing out babies is the ultimate goal. Without hope of an education, pursuit of personal interests, etc her looks are all she’s had to focus on and feel good about herself.
I’d probably be obsessed with my hair and eyeliner also, if it was the only way I was allowed to express myself.
I must say….. She gives off an air of “I’m hotter and better than all you heathens! Did I mention I’m hot? I mean, oops, not hot..I mean, more beautiful and Godly so, therefore, LOOK AT ME! Put my Godly womb on TEEVEE! Forget Josh and our opressive cult, look at my gorgeous FACE! How can you all not just love me? Heathens!”
Chick really is a closet Hardashian. She wants to be famous for NOTHING.
I reeeeeally despise this so called “family”. Can you tell? Lol!
awesome.
Buffalo Bob: Say kids, what time is it?
Kids: It’s Howdy Doody Time!
It’s Howdy Doody Time.
It’s Howdy Doody Time.
I am convinced this blind item is about Jessa. “Useless” is a pretty good way to describe her and her husband.
