The Counting On spoilers suggests that Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar still defend Josh even to this day. They didn’t like that their scandals were coming back to light amid the premiere of Shiny Happy People: Duggar Family Secrets on Amazon Prime Video.
One fan took to Reddit to speculate why they’re in denial. The thread is titled, “I will never understand why Jim Bob and Michelle continually defend Josh.”
They still defended him after he admitted to molesting five underage girls, including two of his sisters. Jim Bob and Michelle even made his sisters defend him in an interview with Megyn Kelly. His parents still defend him to this day, even when he ended up in prison for the possession of child pornography.
Other fans took to the thread to share their thoughts. Most believe that it’s not a problem with Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar. Most parents are willing to defend their kids who happen to be predators. They will coddle and protect them.
“Families hide and protect child predators and coddle firstborn sons all the time,” one fan noted. “They see them as the family legacy (the eldest girls, not so much) and they are afraid to face the truth about their legacy being tarnished.”
The Counting On spoilers also suggests that the Duggar family is in denial over Josh’s crimes. Even his wife Anna has reportedly felt the same way and is still by her husband’s side. Fans think Josh should grow up and face his mistakes. It’s time for his family to stop protecting him.
“To stop defending Josh would be to admit their entire worldview is wrong,” another fan argued before sarcastically adding, “He is a MAN! He slipped up and like totally confessed his sin and was forgiven you guys.”
Other fans suggest that Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar still believe Josh’s sisters are to blame for what happened. It’s also likely they believe the satanic world led him there. No one will allow Josh to take accountability for his actions. The constant defending of their son hasn’t been good for his growth.
