I've never watched an episode and don't "know" that family (just what I read here) but this sudden 180 from her screams "honor they husband" to me. Possibly her dh is "honoring thy father" first and she's following suit. Just my take from a total outsider. Maybe she truly believes that, I hope she does, but it's the sudden change of heart that has me wondering.

I read the blog and the comments and it does seem like the Seewalds are now going to distance themselves from Josh for good. Why though now Sept 1st when this happened over two weeks ago?
Seems almost like they know something is about to blow even bigger? |

I am no Duggar fan but I didn't know the Seewald name from Adam prior to one marrying a Duggar. To me it seems the dad is trying to use the Duggar name to get noticed in fundy circles. First by defending them when that was the in vogue thing to do and now by calling them out when they are at their lowest. He seems slimy to me. Climbing to the top on their backs any way he can. Ick!

I more bothered by the fact that the Seewald family seems more upset over his cheating on his wife than molesting his sisters.

I would have more respect for her if she stayed silent. I would tell my brother he's a dog to his face, but not on social media.

I don't know about child porn. I may be wrong. Like others have said, his crimes against his sisters seemed to stem more from convenience. But again, I might be wrong because nothing with this guy seems predictable.
I would like to think if it was child poem Anna would have announced her intent to leave him by now. Like, Jared Fogle's wife. The 14 year old case of a teenager violating his sisters, having been dealt with, no matter how questionable would be murkier in fundy minds then say for instance finding current child porn on his computer. Every fundy I know would certainly expect her to leave him in that situation.
I am sure more, lots more is fixing to come out, though.

I thought I read somewhere there was allegations that he did have sex with a stripper in Arkansas.
I also wonder if Jessa is finally finding anger for what happened to her. Seeing her brother is still a giant douchebag. It might have been cathartic to let the world know she believes he's a jerk.

I pray it's not child porn. For Anna and his kids. If it does come out as child porn or even more molestation and she doesn't leave him then someone needs to take those poor children far, far away.
If it is child porn then he needs to go to prison.

It might have a taken a while for things to sink in and come to terms with them.
This is SO not how they were raised, it is difficult for her to comprehend, much less realize your brother is deeply involved in them.

It may also be a good opportunity for her to be able to speak her real mind and not feel like she HAS to agree and side with her parents. |

I imagine that none of the Duggar kids would DARE to disagree with their slimebag father. But Jessa is married now, and isn't under her father's thumb anymore. |

The rest of them don't stand a chance now that Jessa has betrayed the trust. Even though their religion says to obey the husband, you know Daddy Duggar thought he was going to still rule over them all. |

Is her FIL a pastor? If yes, then she was just easy prey to be brainwashed by the next cult.

I am a nit cynical. A part of me thinks she is distancing herself from him because she's pregnant and want to make money being on magazine covers. Another part believes that she is just following her father in law and doing what her husband tells her.

Another part believes that she is just following her father in law and doing what her husband tells her. I also think it's about the money. Neither she nor her husband have real jobs, they need to make sure they have a way to make money and tv shows/appearances etc are all they know. |

Not a week or less total turn around. I'm thinking more along the lines Her DH encouraged her to do so to give his dad's blog/ opiniin viewers. He his her headship now, you know. |

No matter what she does, it won't be the "right thing" in the eyes of all the Duggar critics. If she remains silent, she's weak. If she supports her family, she's brainwashed. If she speaks out against Josh, she's after the money. I wouldn't want to be in her shoes right now for anything in the world. It's a shame that the general public can't just accept her for who she is, understand that she's an adult making her own decisions now, and respect whatever decisions she makes without picking them apart and criticizing them ceaselessly.

lionsimba..I agree. I think she is trying to make the best decisions for her family. I think it is much easier to forgive the first time when you think you know all the information. And then when a second event occurs where more info comes out, it's harder to keep your previous stand. And you might change/make a different decision for your family. I am proud that she seems to be making decisions from her own perspective (that probably does include advice from her DH and her FIL, especially if they are the people she trusts the most right now). I don't think it is wrong to seek advice. Many on here "know exactly" what they would do, but they truly aren't in her shoes, weren't raised in the environment she was, etc. I feel for all the kids honestly, not so much the parents because I think the parents have made their own choices. But no matter what the kids do now, there will be major critics.

The rest of them don't stand a chance now that Jessa has betrayed the trust. Even though their religion says to obey the husband, you know Daddy Duggar thought he was going to still rule over them all. Ha, that's exactly what I was thinking this morning -- that Big Daddy is no doubt reeling in shock. He no doubt thought he was going to rule over his kids in his little kingdom forever and that his absolute rule and magic dick meant he could fix anything bad that happened. So it was okay to put his family on tv and set them up as examples of righteous living even with the skeleton of child molestation in the closet because he could find a way to fix it and "good folks" would believe him. As this scandal spirals in ever wider circles and possibly some of those kids start to get access to viewpoints outside the inner circle, they may have the scales lifted from their eyes and not bow down to his rule in all things. Cognitive dissonance is being served for supper. |

Is it wrong of me to hope the next scandal involves Daddy Duggar? Maybe it will knock him off that high horse he rides.

She's trying to remain relevant. Show is gone, no special delivery episode. Neither have any marketable skills and I doubt she even has her GED. Only way for her to make money is speaking engagements and trying to get her own show on television.
