Caleb Williams: Jana Duggar’s Alleged Ex Responds to Sexual Assault Allegations

On Tuesday, we reported on news that Jana Duggar’s longtime friend Caleb Williams has been accused of sexual assault . Earlier this year, there were rumors that Jana and Caleb were dating , but neither party ever confirmed those reports. A source close to the Duggar family exclusively informed The Hollywood Gossip that Caleb had been arrested for having sex with an underage girl. “Caleb has been arrested for Criminal Sex with a minor [in] Logan County Illinois,” the insider wrote in an email to THG. “Duggar family better check their little ones! This is a dangerous fella. Williams are trying their best to cover it up.” The tipster went on to inform us that Caleb’s brother was recently arrested for child abuse. And apparently, the well-heeled Williams family has been working hard to ensure that both men avoid prison sentences: “Both boys were avoiding arrest warrants by changing address and hiding in their homes when paper were trying to be served,” says the source. Obviously, that didn’t work. For many, the situation brings to mind the infamous Josh Duggar sex scandals of 2015, during which, it was revealed that Jana’s older brother had molested five young girls. (It is not currently known if Jana was one of his victims.) One important difference, however, is that Caleb might not find it quite so easy to avoid jail. According to Radar Online, Caleb has a court date coming up in January, and prosecutors aren’t taking any chances. Williams was indicted on two counts of aggravated criminal sexual assault in November. He is currently on probation and is not permitted to leave the state of Illinois or have contact with anyone under the age of 18. According to court documents obtained by Radar, Caleb stands accused of “placing his finger and his penis inside of a minor who was between the ages of 13 to 17.” The crimes allegedly occurred “on or between May 29, 2015 through August 1, 2016,” and “on or between August 1, 2016 through May 31, 2018.” Caleb spent one night in jail when he was first arrested, but he was reportedly bailed out by his mother. We’ll have further updates on this developing story as more information becomes available. View Slideshow: Jana Duggar: 13 Reasons Why … is She Still Single?

Jinger Duggar Shares Sweetest Pic of Bundled Baby Felicity

While Jinger Duggar and Jeremy Vuolo don’t want trolls trash-talking their daughter , they’re happy to share her sweet pics with real fans. The latest photo is precious beyond belief — and also just a genuinely great picture. Felicity is only five months old, but she’s already the most meme-worthy of all of the Duggar grandchildren. There are two layers to the photo that we’re about to show you. As of Wednesday, December 19, baby Felicity is five months old. Her parents shared a precious photo of her all bundled up and laying on her back in the leafy grass. Felicity is wearing a very soft-looking pastel pink outfit with a cute bow and with darling little ears on the hood. The photo is captioned “contemplative.” Take a look: She! Looks! So! Adorable! As we mentioned, there are two angles to this photo. The most obvious one is that Felicity is just as cute as a button. The other is that, simply because of her facial expression and the way that her hands are posed, she looks like she’s scheming. This goes beyond contemplative — she looks like she’s hatching a thought and is filled with glee. There are only a handful of babies who have what it takes to achieve internet fame on their own merit. But we think that baby Felicity is worthy of being a meme. The wee baby Felicity is always stylish. Though some fans have responded negatively to the very fashionable bows on her head and to the mittens she sometimes wears, she looks great. The Duggar family as a whole and especially its women are not really given the opportunity to explore fashion and personal styles like normal girls. That changed for Jinger after she married Jeremy, who believes that salvation through Christianity doesn’t require that women wear dresses. So little Felicity will have opportunities that her mother never had while growing up. And, quite frankly, a lot of fans think that her cuteness, relative fame, and pleasant disposition would make her a perfect model for baby clothes. Jinger has recently written on Instagram about the joys of motherhood. “Motherhood is a gift,” Jinger gushed on the ‘gram. “It’s a gift not to be taken for granted,” Jinger says. “And it’s a gift that ought not be despised.” True. If you don’t want to be a mom, that’s fine. If you do become a parent, you should love your kids. It’s the least you can do for the little ones you brought into the world. (Jinger may have had a more political, less positive meaning behind her post, but let’s give her the benefit of the doubt, okay?) Jinger’s post about motherhood continued. “It’s a unique gift,” Jinger wrote. “That allows me to demonstrate toward my daughter the love that God has graciously demonstrated toward me.” Jinger added: “It’s a profound gift that reveals the heart of God in a way I had never imagined.” When you’re a parent, you are your baby’s whole world. “It’s a weighty gift,” Jinger continued. “That places upon my shoulders the nurture of this tiny soul.” “Motherhood is a gift for which I thank God every day,” Jinger concluded.

The Duggars: Do Jim Bob & Michelle’s Kids Have Any Friends?

For the most part, growing up with 18 siblings sounds like a nightmare. The lack of bathroom access alone would be reason enough to run away from home. But we suppose there are some upsides, too — like the fact that you really never have to worry about companionship. After all, with that many siblings, you're sure to get along with at least one of them, right? Of course, the problem with raising and homeschooling an army of kids in a rural environment is that they don't have much incentive or opportunity to branch out and form relationships outside the family. Which may be why fans are convinced the Duggar kids never bothered to make any friends. Take a look: 1. So Many Duggars The Duggars are a sizable clan, and they’ve been growing at an astonishing rate in recent years, as Jim Bob and Michelle’s kids are marrying and starting families of their own. 2. Sisters/BFFs Several members of the Duggar clan paired off in childhood with siblings who remain their best friends in adulthood. 3. Jill and Jessa Forever Jill and Jessa Duggar, for example, have been close friends for their entire lives. 4. Better Than Besties Jill and Jessa have a bond that goes beyond friendship, and it was only strengthened when they both faced the challenges of new motherhood together. 5. And They’re Not the Only Ones … There are other pairs of close Duggar friends, including twins Jana and John David, who are said to enjoy such a close bond that they can communicate without speaking. 6. Not the Same But some fans have argued that sibling relationships don’t fill the same needs as friendships, and the Duggars’ isolation has had a profound effect on their social development.

Amy Duggar Loves Talking About Her Sex Life Publicly. We’re Guessing Jim Bob Isn’t Thrilled

Long before Jinger Duggar began wearing pants in direct violation of her family’s bonkers dress code, there was another female threat to Jim Bob’s patriarchal reign. Amy Duggar has been the family’s resident rebel for years, and we assume the only reason she hasn’t been shipped off to a mysterious facility for reprogramming is because she’s JB’s cousin and not his daughter. Amy married Dillon King back in 2015, and since then, the couple has rebelled against Duggar orthodoxy in two big ways: For one thing, they have yet to procreate. (Duggar women typically get pregnant on their honeymoons.) On top of that, Dillon and Amy aren’t shy when it comes to talking about their sex life. There have been reports that Amy has held off on having children because she isn’t sure she wants to stay with Dillon. Others have claimed that the couple has been unable to conceive. But Amy says neither one of those explanations is accurate. Instead, it seems that despite the Duggar ban on birth control, she and Dillon have been getting in plenty of precautionary “practice.” “Oh, all the time,” Amy told People magazine when about the amount of sex she and Dillon have. “All the time. You can’t hide that. You can’t hide that.” “The kids are coming,” Dillon added. “We’ve been practicing.” And much to the likely chagrin of Jim Bob, Amy and Dillon didn’t stop talking about their bedroom shenanigans there. Dillon went on to say that he and Amy like to “keep it fresh, keep it wild” in the bedroom and are both fans of literally keeping things hot via  “firelight, candle, one of those big massage bed things. The whole shebang.” “He does like candlelight,” said Amy. “I have a built-in masseuse as a husband. He’s incredible.” Last year, Amy and Dillon appeared on Marriage Bootcamp , and Splitsville seemed to be in their future. Needless to say, their relationship is on the mend these days. “I think for me, especially after the Bootcamp and all that kind of stuff, for me it’s like, two people are going to grow at different rates, right? So, you’re never going to be at the same place at the same time,” Dillon says of the experience. “So the little arguments that might come up throughout the way, you’re going to have those. That’s going to happen,” he added. “So if something does, it’s not like it’s the end of the world, we’re not compatible.” “That’s exactly right,” Amy echoed. “For me, whenever we would, we still argue of course. Whenever we argue, I would be like, I would freak out. He’d be like, ‘Babe, this is life. This is normal. I’m here, and I’m not leaving.’ And he gave reassurance.” View Slideshow: Amy Duggar Swimsuit Photos: Girl Gone (Sort of) WILD!

Duggars Dragged For Being "Nuts" About Religion in Honduras

Earlier this week, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar touched down in Central America, eager to spread the word of Jesus around town. But while that may remain their goal, many users of the Internet have responded to Instagram photos of the couple in Honduras with a few words of their own. And most of them are pretty darn negative. “We have arrived in Central America and we are so excited about what the Lord is doing here! Thank you for all your prayers!” reads the caption to the above photo on the official Duggar Family Instagram page. Based on the image above, it looks like Jim Bob and Michelle have been joined on their trip by Jana, James, Jennifer and also a few friends. They standing in front of a sign that reads, “Bienvenidos A Honduras,” which translates to “Welcome To Honduras.” Are they really welcome in this country, however? That’s the main topic up for debate online. “Please leave the locals alone. They have their religion,” one fan wrote, afraid that the Duggars were swooping into the region and hoping to convert those who reside there. “This is just nuts,” another person hilariously added. Others, meanwhille, wondered what missionary work the Duggars could possible be doing in Honduras, which is already a predominantly Christian nation. “I don’t understand missionary work in already Christian countries. What do they do?” a user asked. And still another replied: “Try to convert people to the ‘proper’ form of Christianity. It’s crazy.” And another: “It’s that time of year again to go and try and push their religion on Catholics with a little bit of poverty tourism.” Then there’s the individual who is very concerned that the Duggars are trying to bring poor people back to the United States with them: Altogether, the Comments section alongside these Duggar photos is pretty ugly. And pretty diverse. There are anti-Donald Trump and there’s praise for Jim Bob and Michelle’s actions and there’s basically everything in between. For whatever it’s worth, this is not the first time the Duggars have traveled to Central America to spread their version of the word of Jesus. Christ. Back in the day, Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard actually lived in El Salvador with their son, Israel, to do missionary work. Also, Jinger Duggar and her now-husband Jeremy Vuolo started courting shortly after a ministry trip to Central America in 2015. This is basically a family tradition. But should it be? That’s the question. It’s also worth noting that we don’t know exactly what the Duggars are doing down there at the moment. All we know is they have, like, a million kids between them and they helped protect a child molestor in the form of Josh Duggar and maybe that should be more of a concern than a trip to Honduras. Are are just saying. View Slideshow: 19 Scandals & Counting: The Duggar Family’s Most Shameful Moments

Josiah Duggar and Lauren Swanson Refuse to Answer Pregnancy Question

We hate to break this to you, but… … Josiah Duggar and Lauren Swanson having a bit of fun at your expense. They know exactly what you are thinking, exactly what websites such as this one are writing and they don’t have any plans to address the elephant in the room. Or the alleged child in the womb, we should say, to be more specific. Indeed, every other social media user seems to be convinced that Swanson is pregnant . This has been a topic of debate ever since she married Duggar at the end of June and fans are so desperate for confirmation that they took Lauren’s recent decision to make her Pinterest page as a sure sign that she’s expecting. She must have done so because she’s making a few baby boards and isn’t prepared to share the news yet, right? Right? RIGHT?!? Probably, according the latest reports. But don’t expect either Josiah or Lauren to confirm the news any time soon. “Josiah and Lauren are having fun keeping her possible pregnancy status a secret,” a source tells Hollywood Life, making it sound as if a baby is in there, but… “They are so happy, in love and excited about this newlywed time in their life that they are keeping everything just between the two of them. “When anyone asks them directly about being pregnant, they give a vague answer with a smile.” Hey, look, we’re all about respecting privacy and few things are more special or personal than a baby on the way and… … eh, who are we kidding?!? We’re a celebrity gossip site! Give us all the scoop you’ve got, Lauren and Josiah! “Lauren and Josiah have been married five months now and it’s no secret that they’ve been trying for a baby since their wedding night so it’s very likely she’s already pregnant,” another source tells Celebrity Insider. This would certainly fit the pattern of Josiah’s family. Nearly every Duggar woman or every woman who marries into the Duggars starts trying for a baby within hours of exchanging vows. For Lauren and Josiah, this occasion took place on June 30 in Arkansas . Because the couple never revealed their wedding date ahead of time, many followers assumed Swanson was already pregnant and that this was your basic shotgun marriage. Alas, if that were the case, Lauren would be showing by now. All this time later, however, even those very close to the stars believe a bun is on Lauren’s proverbial oven. “Friends and family believe Lauren is secretly pregnant and they are all anxiously waiting for her to reveal her big news,” writes Hollywood Life, adding: “They are dedicated to their faith and believe when the time is right, they will share the wonderful news with their families first.” Of late, Swanson sparked pregnancy chatter after she wore a loose-fitting dress in a photo she shared on Instagram. She’s also been sharing a handful of images that only show her upper body, which has led to some speculate that she’s hiding her growing baby bump. And she very well may be. Good luck getting an answer to this question from either half of the couple is all. Trust us. We tried. And neither Lauren nor Josiah have uttered a word to The Hollywood Gossip about it. 🙁 View Slideshow: Josiah Duggar and Lauren Swanson Wedding Pics: See Their First Kiss… EVER!

Jinger Duggar Gets Mom-Shamed Again: Enough With the Head Wraps!

Back in July,  Jinger Duggar welcomed her first child . And like so many of her sisters, she’s enjoyed sharing all the joys of her motherhood with her millions of social media followers. Unfortunately, as with her sisters, many of Jinger’s followers visit her page for the sole purpose of talking trash. Yes, mom-shaming the Duggars is a favorite activity of many Instagram trolls. And the folks who engage in this sort of activity really don’t need much to set them off. They can be triggered by Jessa Duggar’s messy house , Jill’s perceived shortcomings as a homeschool teacher, or even Felicity Vuolo’s head wraps. Yes, Jinger enjoys putting various forms of headgear on her child, and for reasons we can’t quite figure, a very vocal contingent of Instagram users finds this practice reprehensible. And the craziest part is, they can’t even agree on why it’s wrong. At first, Jinger was slammed for cultural appropriation . As is the case most of the time that term is used, people were angry, but they weren’t really sure why. Now that that argument has been laid to rest — probably because Jinger’s haters realized no culture can lay claim to the practice of wrapping fabric around a baby’s head — several new ones have emerged. Jinger recently posted the photo below to Instagram, setting off a whole new round of criticism: “Felicity helping Uncle Scott with interviews,” she captioned the pic. Seems innocent enough, but some fans took issue with little Lissy’s hat. A few speculated that Jinger is planning to launch a children’s fashion line, and she’s “using” Felicity to model her wares. There’s no indication that’s true, but even if it were … would that really be so bad? Others simply don’t care for Felicity’s fashion sense. “Young moms are going overboard with head wraps for their girls all the time,” wrote one. Another commented that Felicity looks like “an old lady.” Yes, the kind of people who spend their time insulting babies on the internet are firmly convinced that their voices deserve to be heard. This is some peak 2018 sh-t right here, folks.  We shudder to think what next year might bring. View Slideshow: Jinger Duggar Shares Adorable Pics of Her “Little Family,” Melts Fans’ Hearts

Josh & Anna Duggar: Expecting a Sixth Child AND Adopting a Seventh?!

Talk about aggressive expansion! Josh and Anna Duggar might be preparing to welcome two kids at once — and we’re not talking about twins! Yes, some Counting On fans are convinced that Anna is pregnant with her sixth child. And others believe that Josh and Anna are adopting a kid from Indonesia. And then there’s a third group who’s convinced that both rumors are true, and Josh and Anna are trying to get back into his parents’ good graces by giving them a run for their money in the offspring department. The jury’s still out on whether or not Anna is expecting, but the Indonesian adoption story is almost certainly BS. As far as we can tell, it’s based on nothing more than the above photo, in which a slew of Duggars is seen serving as an airport welcoming committee. Anna posted the pic and captioned it, “Late night airport run to welcome home our Indonesian sister!” To be fair, we can see how that might be a confusing caption. In the comments, many fans seemed convinced that Josh and Anna had decided to adopt an Indonesian child. “Was she adopted by your family?” one follower asked point blank. Others echoed that query, but it seems they failed to notice that Anna tagged Jenni Hartono in the post. Jenni is a grown woman and a longtime family friend of the Duggars. In fact, at one point, there were rumors that her brother, Jonathan Hartono, was courting Jana Duggar . So yeah, we strongly doubt that Josh and Anna adopted their grown-up friend. Besides, Josh is a known child molester — what adoption agency would give him a kid? Another theory that makes a bit more sense is that Jenni is in town to court one of the Duggar boys. “A potential match for someone? … Jed or Jer maybe,” wrote one commenter. We suppose it’s possible. After all, Tontitown is mighty small, and the Duggars have a lot of boys to marry off. But the most likely explanation is that Jenni is simply a family friend who’s in town for a visit. We know — disappointingly un-scandalous.

Rob Kardashian: I’m Broke and I Live With My Mom!

Rob Kardashian is going through some things right now, folks. Yesterday, the world learned that Rob can’t afford to pay child support to his baby mama, Blac Chyna. Normally, we’d call BS on that, but in Rob’s case, we actually believe he’s broke. Of course, it’s entirely his fault that he’s broke, and he’s been given every possible advantage in life, so he still doesn’t deserve a shred of sympathy. Anyway, Rob and Chyna are mired in an increasingly ugly court battle due to his refusal to fork over the $20,000 a month they initially agreed on. It’s a bad situation for everyone involved, but at least it’s yielding some interesting insights into Rob’s increasingly sad existence. According to his documents filed by his lawyers, Rob has “minimal cash flow and no savings.”  Of course, this is all relative, and as we learned yesterday, Rob is still pulling in $10,000 a month from royalties and endorsement deals. But that’s down from a reported $100,000 in the days before he started dating Chyna. (Rob says the relationship hurt his earning potential. We say he probably did that himself by posting revenge porn of Chyna and generally being an asshat.) You don’t have to be a mathematician to see that Rob can’t afford to shell out twice his monthly income in child support — but it’s worth noting that that appears to be his only expense. “As of January 17, 2018, I am short nearly $300,000, which my accountant projects I will need to pay for my 2017 tax liabilities,” Rob said in court documents released this week. “I no longer own a home. I now live in my mother’s home.” Woof. 300 grand in debt and living at home with his mom? Needless to say, Rob’s not exactly killing it these days — but don’t worry, he’s got a plan! And apparently, it involves having his mom buy half of his sock company. Yes, in case you somehow forgot, Rob designs socks that no one wants to buy, probably because they’re overpriced socks designed by Rob Kardashian. But the unpopularity of the Arthur George line isn’t keeping Rob from pushing forward with the venture in the hope that it will help him dig out of this financial hole. Rob told the court that he hoped the sock line would “would grow and that my earnings would increase,” but instead — shocker! — he lost money on the investment. Kris Jenner swooped in to keep the company alive, and she now “50 percent share in the company.” Cool. Now if Rob can just get Kris to pay 50 percent of his child support, he’ll be all set.

Josh Duggar Is Breaking the Law Again: Will He FINALLY Go to Jail?!

When Josh Duggar molested five young girls , he avoided arrest and prosecution with the help of his parents. In the years since the scandal came to light, many Duggar fans have hoped that the long arm of the law would eventually catch up to Josh. According to a new report from Radar Online, Josh has once again been caught breaking the law . But it doesn’t look as though he’ll be imprisoned for his most recent infractions. The site claims that Wholesale Motorcars in Washington County, Arkansas — which Josh has managed since 2015 — has been operating without a permit for the entirety of his tenure. “We have one zoning designation in the county to allow single-family residential or agricultural uses,” a planning official in Washington County told Radar. “Anything else requires a conditional use permit to request a zoning change.” Officials claim Josh just started a business on non-commercial property without notifying the proper authorities. When a local fire marshal noticed Josh’s failure to obtain the proper licensing, he reported the father of five. As we’ve reported in the past, Josh is hated in his hometown , but his father, Jim Bob Duggar, still enjoys a tremendous amount of clout. As such, Josh was given a second chance to comply with the law. “The fire marshal wasn’t going to issue any more extensions,” the planning authority told Radar. “He was requiring that Josh make a good faith attempt, or make effort, toward receiving a review and permit approval, so that’s what he did.” And so, Josh was given time to apply for the mandatory permits and make the necessary repairs — of which there were many. Reports indicate that Josh didn’t display the building’s address anywhere on its exterior (a shady detail if ever there was one)/ Also, his property had no smoke detectors and was generally in a state of disrepair. Of course, the Duggars have violated local zoning laws before, most recently when Jim Bob attempted to open a “luxury RV park” without notifying local officials. Like Josh, Jim Bob was in no way held accountable for his violations. View Slideshow: Anna Duggar: Did She Get Pregnant to Save Josh’s Career?!
