Jana Duggar to Find Love in New Reality Series?

Earlier this week, we learned that the Duggar family will be returning to television  in a full-time capacity beginning on March 15. The news that Jill and Jessa: Counting On has been picked up by TLC for a full season served as a mild disappointment for some fans who had hoped there was truth behind the rumors of a reality show focusing on Jana Duggar’s love life . Jana has evolved into something of a fan favorite over the years, and with her younger sisters getting married and starting families, many Duggar devotees would love to see her find the right man and leave the compound behind. Now, it seems that those viewers may get their wish, as the first trailer for Counting On contains a very brief cameo from Jana that some fans are interpreting as a hint that she’ll find love in the show’s first season.  It may just be wishful thinking on the fans’ part, or a clever way the network’s clever way of hooking viewers, but whatever the case, Jana is very happy about something in the preview.  The portion of the extended preview that’s piqued the interest of many viewers features a shot of Jana smiling and saying, “I totally didn’t see this coming.” Is she talking about meeting the right man? Only time will tell, but for now, it looks like Jana boosters have something to be excited about.

Danica Dillon to Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar: You Created That SEX MONSTER JOSH!

Danica Dillon, the porn star suing Josh Duggar, says Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar are to blame for creating a sexual deviant monster. Josh’s downfall from the golden child – the first of Michelle and Jim Bob’s 19 Kids & Counting – to a pariah has been swift and dramatic. Molesting underage girls including his sisters, cheating on his wife, being addicted to porn, and being sued for giving a porn star PTSD? Quite the resume he compiled last year. To hear Danica Dillon tell it, this all comes from how he was raised and Michelle and Jim Bob are at fault for letting him off the hook. Oh yes. To her, the issue is upbringing. “Josh got away with molesting five girls without really getting the help he needed because of his parents’ cover-up,” she says. “He has obviously gotten so used to people protecting him and lying for him that he feels he should be able to get away with [anything].” By insisting on dealing with things “in house” and failing to get him the counseling he obviously needed, Danica says it’s all their fault . She even takes it a step further. Theorizing that if Duggar had received treatment from professionals and stuck with it, she would not have been assaulted, as she alleges. View Slideshow: Danica Dillon: Josh Duggar Plaything Revealed! Jim Bob and Michelle [Duggar] created a monster. If Josh had received [help then], maybe his attack on me never would have happened.” For what it’s worth, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar’s marriage is in crisis , reportedly, over Josh, his bizarre behavior and the epic fallout. Danica is currently suing Josh for $500,000, claiming that Duggar has caused her myriad difficulties, ranging from PTSD to lost wages. Moreover, Dillon wants to have details on Josh’s sexual history publicized by getting a subpoena from psychologists, among others. Might such material corroborate her claims of Duggar’s disgusting sexual antics that were recently revealed in court documents?  Josh’s parents, alleges Danica, “made sure that no one would ever see [the reports of Josh’s past behavior from therapists].” “People will see the pain these young girls suffered at Josh’s hands,” Danica says, if the full details of Josh’s past are revealed. It should be noted that Josh insists he never even met her  despite her repeated claims, and statements that observers saw the couple.  Some reports have hinted at a settlement on the horizon, but so far, the respective legal teams have traded barbs with no end in sight.

Jill Duggar: Using Birth Control For a Surprising Reason?

If you were a fan of 19 Kids and Counting , you know that the use contraception is highly discouraged in the Duggar family. After all, raising a massive brood is Michelle and Jim Bob’s claim to fame, and as adherents of the Quiverfull movement, they’ve taught their children that God wants them to bring as many offspring into the world as possible.  Now, however, Jill Duggar may be breaking with tradition (and violating her parents’ beliefs) by both using birth control herself – and encouraging others to do the same. As you may know, Jill and her husband Derick are currently doing missionary work in El Salvador. Like many Central American nations, El Salvador is currently under threat from the mosquito-borne Zika virus, which is known to cause microcephaly and other serious birth defects when pregnant women are infected. The CDC has advised against pregnant women traveling to that part of the world, and the government of El Salvador has cautioned residents that they must “avoid getting pregnant between this year and next” or risk birth defects, and even infant death. As the Duggar Family News Facebook page pointed out earlier today, that could cause a major conflict of interest for Jill and Derick: View Slideshow: Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard Photos “El Salvador is now advising women to avoid getting pregnant until 2018,” reads a status update posted by DFN. “Will Jill follow that advice? Birth control and any type of family planning is evil according to the Duggars. It’s interfering with God’s will … Will Jill advise women in El Salvador of childbearing years to use birth control? “I can’t imagine she would. Jill ignoring or denying the crisis could be a death sentence for a fetus or a lifelong disability. “Jill and Derick will have to adapt to a harsh new reality or suffer the consequences. We all will if this virus keeps on spreading.” Jill and Derick’s time in El Salvador has already been fraught with controversy. The couple was accused of stealing donations from fans after collecting money for a missionary trip, departing, and then being photographed in their Arkansas hometown just days later. The couple apologized, returned an undisclosed amount in donations, and headed back to El Salvador for what they described as a “much longer stay.” Obviously, after that debacle, Jill and Derick are probably not eager to cut their trip short a second time – which means they might currently be grappling with a very tough decision.

Jessie James Decker: So … This Is My Breast Pump

She gave birth to her second child, Eric Decker II in September 2015, and country singer Jessie James Decker wants women everywhere to know that “bouncing back” from pregnancy is hard for celebrities as well. Last month, Decker spoke up about the controversy surrounding her Instagrams, in which the 27-year-old shows off a thin frame just a month after giving birth. In fact, Decker has shared her baby weight loss journey with fans, offering up tips and updates on how much she’s lost. Decker recently went on F ox News to address the controversy regarding her rapid weight loss, and admitted that she was wearing Spanx on air to hide allegedly wobbly bits. “I wanted women to see what my body looked like under the flattering clothes,” she said. “Your body takes a beating and I wanted women to see what I was really like. “I didn’t want to make women feel bad,” Decker said in defense of her Instagrams.  “We’re all in this together.  It’s hard being a mom, and we need to support each other instead of bash[ing] each other.” Another Instagram featured a makeup-free Decker with only a sports bra on,  showing off her c-section scar from having Eric Jr. “I appreciate all of the sweet comments about how tiny I look after baby! But I don’t want to mislead any mommy’s who just had babies and are stressing!’ Decker wrote. “My tummy is still swollen and you can see my c-section scar and pooch! I had another due to my 9lb baby and petite frame. So no rushing and no stressing about losing weight! Wanted to make sure y’all saw what my tummy looks like under the tank top and blazer…I do wear a belly waist train thingy a few hours here n there which helps c section mamas and swelling to go down. “I am so glad we all can support each other. Being a mommy is so rewarding but hard work so we need to stick together and help each other out. “I’m not perfect but I do my best. That’s what it’s all about. So never be hard on yourself.” View Slideshow: Jessie James Decker: 13 Photos of Country’s Hottest Star!

Danica Dillon to Josh Duggar: I’ve Got PICS From Our Sex Romp!

Yesterday, Josh Duggar claimed he has proof absolving him of wrongdoing in the $500,000 lawsuit brought against him by a porn star. But Danica Dillon is firing right back, claiming she’s got photos to prove her claims – that they met for sex and that Duggar was abusive. U.S. District Court documents filed by the troubled father of four’s lawyer confirm that Dillon’s attorney has offered to provide this evidence. The contents of the photographs are unclear, though it’s interesting that Josh also claims to possess images that he says prove his case. Duggar hasn’t provided those, instead offering Uber and flight receipts proving (allegedly) he was not in Pennsylvania at the time. Many took that as a sign that Duggar is winning the legal battle , which has been tied up in court throughout the past couple of weeks. Dillon is showing no indication of backing off soon, however. Danica alleges that Josh choked her and called her demeaning names, giving her PTSD, during two rough, paid sex sessions last spring. She alleged that they had met at a Pennsylvania strip club in March, and sources say Dillon is subpoenaing the strip club in question. Along with various eyewitness accounts, “her team is confident they can get people to back up her story,” a case insider told Radar .  Sooner or later she’s going to put up or shit up, so to speak. Back on January 19, a judge ordered Dillon to provide medical and business records as proof of any physical and emotional damages. It’s unclear if she has complied with that specific request. Bottom line: The quest to prove or disprove that Danica and Josh had sex continues, with no end in sight and lawyers getting richer. View Slideshow: Danica Dillon: Josh Duggar Plaything Revealed!

Jill Duggar Criticized For Sharing Photo of Bruised Baby Israel

Despite their best efforts, it seems there’s nothing the Duggar family can do to avoid controversy this year.  Obviously, the Josh Duggar sex scandals are still fresh in the minds of many former fans, but lately Jill Duggar and her husband, Derick Dillard, have been drawing almost as much criticism. The latest dust-up concerns the above photo that was posted to the Duggar family’s official Facebook page last week. As you can see, baby Israel appears to be sporting a small bruise above his eye, and Duggar fans are pouncing on the opportunity to point out what they see as further evidence of Jill and Derick’s negligent parenting.  Obviously, kids bump and bruise themselves all the time, and this shouldn’t really be a big deal on its own, but with the response she’s been getting from her photos lately, you’d think Jill would know enough to just take a break from social media for a while.  Last month, Jill posted a photo of Israel in which he appeared to be sporting a different facial bruise.  Followers attacked her both for the injury and for the fact that he was seated in front of non-baby-proofed electrical outlet. Prior to that, Jill shared a photo that prompted Duggar fans to launch a series of bizarre conspiracy theories regarding Derick Dillard’s changing appearance . View Slideshow: Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard Photos Like we said, social media has not been Jill’s friend lately. Really the only thing Jill can do now is step away from Instagram and Facebook until this trend of criticizing her every move dies down. Is it fair? Not really, but we’re sure the Dillards are sick of the criticism, and rational discussion has no place in an Internet comment thread. Trust us, Jill. Right now, someone is posting an all-caps, 1,000-word screed about this article without having read a single word of it. We feel your pain. View Slideshow: Jill Duggar Baby Photos

Jill Duggar Comes Under Fire For Photo of Baby Israel

It’s been a tough week for Jill Duggar on social media Yesterday, a photo of her family that Jill posted to Instagram had fans wondering about Derick Dillard’s health . Today, an innocent photo of her son, Israel, has dozens castigating Jill as a negligent mother. As you can see, the controversial photo shows Israel sitting on a blanket in front of a pile of Christmas presents – and an open electrical outlet. Yes, the outlet in the pic isn’t baby-proofed with plastic plug-style covers, and many Duggar fans (and haters) have taken to calling Jill and Derick out on their IG pages. Many have also wondered about the mark on Israel’s eye, which could be a bruise or simply a shadow. Jill and Derick have yet to offer an explanation. Regardless of your feelings on whether or not little Israel is soon to zap himself into the Promised Land, the debate that’s currently raging on Derick’s IG page is highly entertaining: “Look out for that electrical outlet, neglectful parents,” wrote one follower. “People today want children to be bubble wrapped. It’s pathetic,” another countered. We’d give more examples, but the comments on the photo feature plenty of language the Duggars wouldn’t approve of, because what’s the point of expressing your views if you’re not using all-caps and F-bombs aplenty? The point is, some folks think Jill and Derick should be under investigation by CPS, while others continue to believe they can do no wrong.  Watch Jill & Jessa: Counting On  online to decide for yourself if Jill is the best or worst mother on the planet. There’s probably some middle ground in the debate, but why keep a level head when you take an EXTREME stance?  View Slideshow: Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard Photos

Jana Duggar: Fans Encourage "Cinderella" to Go to College, Start Career

If you’re familiar with the lesser-known members of the 19 Kids and Counting clan, then you probably know that Jana Duggar is a fan favorite who always seems to get a raw deal from her own family. At 25, Jana lives at home with her parents at the so-called “Duggar compound” in Arkansas, where she helps to care for her younger siblings, as well as her nieces and nephews. As her younger sisters Jill and Jessa got married, moved out, and started families of their own, rumors began to circulate that Jana is the family “Cinderella,” forced to spend the rest of her life catering to the needs of her many, many brothers and sisters. It may be that Jana has chosen to stay at home and live a chaste life of servitude, but ever since the cancelation of 19 Kids and Counting , many fans have been more vocally concerned about bright, quiet young woman. The show served as a connection to the outside world and a sort of de facto career for Jana, who is now rarely seen by the public, and presumably spends the bulk of her days completing household chores. As she’s not involved in a courtship with a Duggar-approved young man, Jana is not even allowed to create a social media page of her own. Perhaps that’s why when the Duggars posted the above photo of Jana on their Facebook page last week, their social media followers leapt at the chance to encourage the girl to break out on her own. “College would look great on her,” wrote one commenter.  “Jana is so beautiful and so ready to move out on her own and get married,” wrote another. There are several such comments on the thread, many of which have now received hundreds of likes.  Yes, it seems the Duggar faithful are certainly eager to see Jana move out and start a life of her own. And we’re sure TLC wouldn’t mind, as based on the level of fan interest, we’re sure a Jana: Counting on Herself spinoff would be a ratings bonanza. Of course, rumors of Jana breaking away from her famous family seem to circulate every few weeks. Tabloids have had Jana courting Tim Tebow and moving to New York City to start a business. Obviously, all of the reports of Jana setting out on her own have proven false, and it’s important to bear in mind that Jana has never actually expressed a desire to distance herself from her family. But especially in the wake of everything we found out about her upbringing over the past year, it sure would be satisfying to see Jana buck the tradition and live life on her terms.
