The Duggars: Why Did Joy-Anna Duggar Leave Counting On

The Duggars news and updates tease that Joy-Anna Duggar and her husband, Austin Forsyth, have bowed out from Counting On. The couple will no longer be part of season 11, which was made obvious by their absence in the trailer for the upcoming season.

The Duggars rose to fame thanks to their reality TV show, 19 Kids and Counting. But as years went by, the family started to make headlines because of various scandals, including Josh Duggar’s sex abuse. Many of its family members left the show, which spawned the spinoff Counting On, over the years, starting with Josh and then followed by Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard.

Fans noticed that Joy-Anna and Austin weren’t included in the trailer for season 11, and many of them wondered if their family would still be featured on the show. The U.S. Sun reported that they have left the show, but they may still make brief appearances for family occasions. Their departure came after Derick Dillard pointed out that the Duggar children aren’t getting their fair share for their participation in the show, and he pinned it all on Jim Bob Duggar.

Viewers weren’t shocked when Jill and Derick left the show, but they were surprised when Joy-Anna and Austin left. Joy-Anna and Austin suffered a devastating loss when the former had a miscarriage back in 2020. When they left the show, they didn’t say much about their departure.

But they became more active on social media, particularly on Instagram and YouTube, giving fans a sneak peek into their new life together. The couple is keeping themselves busy and happy with flipping houses, which many people think is the reason why they left the show. It’s been revealed that Austin had been flipping houses before he married Joy-Anna. Now that they’re married, she’s helping her husband with his work.
