Jill Duggar-Jessa Duggar Feud Over? 19 Kids & Counting Star Now Follows Sister, Husband

Jill Dillard finally began following her sister Jessa Duggar on Twitter this weekend, sparking speculation that the siblings’ purported feud may be over at last. The pregnant Jill, who is expecting her first child with husband Derick Dillard, is also following Jessa’s husband, Ben Seewald. Both Duggars wed this year. Yes, the alleged Jill and Jessa Duggar feud was attributed in part, or entirely, to the fact that the social media savvy ladies were not following one another. There are many theories posited for why the seemingly close siblings would be at odds, but supposedly, Jessa resents that Jill is her parents’ favorite . One family source recently dished that Jessa is tired of hearing “Jill, Jill, Jill.” If that’s true, we can’t even imagine what Jana Duggar must be thinking. The fact that Jessa was dating now-husband Ben months before Jill started dating Derick Dillard, yet Jill beat her to the altar, also burned her a bit. “Jessa is envious that Jill was the first Duggar daughter to get married,” the source adds. “All the attention surrounding Jill was really getting under Jessa’s skin.” 9 Things BANNED in the Duggar Family 1. Dates Without Chaperones The Duggar parents often accompany their children on dates in order to maintain their “accountability” and “keep things from going in the wrong direction,” per Jim Bob. The girls are fine with this, as being alone with men puts them in grave “moral danger.” When the parents aren’t available, their older siblings will often tag along, making every date a group date and a family affair. Various celebrity gossip sources have also said Jessa is jealous that Jill got pregnant so quickly and has been working hard to conceive by Christmas herself. We’re sure Ben does not have a huge problem helping in that sense. Either it’s all water under the bridge now, though, or there was never any bridge needed to get over this gap, because there is no sign of any issues on Twitter. Or real life. Instead, they’re just gushing over their men. “Tomorrow marks 7 weeks of marriage to this amazing man!” Jessa Duggar wrote on yesterday. “So excited to be sharing our first Christmas.” Jessa has said that things aren’t always perfect at home. “People always ask us ‘Do you have any problems? Do you all ever fight? Are you normal?’ Yes, we are.” As with most fights, though, people get over them, especially around the holidays. For the Duggar sisters, the holiday thaw (if that) has come just in time. 13 Biggest Duggar Family Scandals 1. Jessa Gets Strapped Jessa Duggar and her then-boyfriend Ben Seewald began courting controversy almost from the moment they started dating, posing for photos like this one – a picture that now seems tame considering what they’ve been stirring up more recently. As always, you can watch 19 Kids and Counting online to see if you can pick up on any signs of the supposed tension lingering between the newlyweds.

Jill Duggar vs. Jessa Duggar: Feud Revealed on Twitter?!

You might think that Jill and Jessa Duggar would be as close as two sisters can be. After all, they’re only a year apart in age, they’re both newly married,  Jill just got pregnant , and Jessa is sure to make her own announcement any day. And yet, a close inspection of Jill and Jessa’s Twitter pages reveals that there might be some bad blood between the two newlyweds. While Jessa follows Jill and her new husband Derick Dillard on the site, Jill does not follow Jessa or her hubby Ben Seewald. That may seem like a pretty minor offense, but it’s worth noting that Jill follows just about everyone else who has ties to her family. Some have pointed out that in the book Growing Up Duggar: It’s All About Relationships,  Jessa’s siblings briefly acknowledge her role as the most difficult of the sisters. In one somewhat humorous passage, Jana Duggar opens up about being repeatedly kicked by Jessa and responding by giving her a jewelry box as a gift. (The incident pretty much sums up Jana’s role in the Duggar family .) Could it be that Jessa was such a relentless bully as a kid that Jill is still unable to get over it? Maybe. But maybe Jill just totally spaced on following her sister on Twitter. We may never know for sure, but one thing is for certain – if the rumors about Jana and Tim Tebow are true, Jill and Jessa are both gonna hate her. Dude is the Holy Grail of fundamentalist, V-card-carrying beaus. Watch 19 Kids and Counting online to see if you can detect any negativity between Jill and Jessa. 13 Biggest Duggar Family Scandals 1.

Michelle Duggar Launches Counter-Petition: SAVE 19 Kids & Counting From Anti-Marriage Foes!!

With critics calling for TLC to cancel her reality show, Michelle Duggar has launched a counter-petition to save 19 Kids and Counting from cancelation. A Change (dot) org petition to cancel 19 Kids and Counting was actually started earlier this year, after Michelle made controversial headlines politically. She allegedly recorded a robo-call allegedly asking Fayetteville, Ark. residents to vote to repeal a law that prevents discrimination. Yes, that prevents it. The law in question condemns property and business owners to oust or fire people based on gender identity. In other words, transgender Americans. Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar then sparked an even bigger public controversy this month when they invited fans to share kissing photos on Facebook . After they reportedly took down submissions from gay couples, they faced backlash online, and the aforementioned petition began to widely circulate. Both incidents are rooted in the family’s support for “traditional” marriage, and form the crux of the rebuttal petition Michelle is promoting to save the show. “The Duggar Family is under attack from anti-marriage advocates for standing for traditional marriage,” the Ipetitions (dot) com note posted by Michelle reads. “We commend The Duggar Family for their brave stand in defending marriage as ordained by God between one man and one woman,” the petition goes on. “No individual’s sexual behavior and chosen lifestyle has the right to redefine marriage. Sign our petition today to let TLC know that you support the Duggars.” 13 Biggest Duggar Family Scandals 1. Jessa Gets Strapped Jessa Duggar and her then-boyfriend Ben Seewald began courting controversy almost from the moment they started dating, posing for photos like this one – a picture that now seems tame considering what they’ve been stirring up more recently. As of this posting, it has about 6,000 signatures. The petition to make TLC axe the series now has 130,000, although it has been online since August 20. The scandal is not the first surrounding the Arkansas family, and it almost certainly won’t be the last. The question is whether or not the network will cave. The couple did not address the Facebook controversy specifically, but recently put out a statement saying they will always stand for truth and values . Don’t expect them to back down, in other words. Your move, TLC …
