Josh Duggar and his wife, Anna, have just celebrated their ninth wedding anniversary, but that doesn't mean fans are rushing to congratulate the pair. News broke two years ago that Josh Duggar had molested four of his sisters and one unnamed girl in a released police report, which was released by "In Touch Weekly." After the shocking news hit the media, fans disengaged from "19 Kids and Counting" and it was quickly pulled off the air. Since then, Josh has mostly kept a low-profile and hasn't made too many appearances on "Counting On," the spin-off series that follows some of the older Duggar children as they make their way into adulthood.
However, it has been made abundantly clear that Josh isn't being accepted by the fans and that they don't want to see him on social media or on their television.
Rebuilding Josh's image?
Josh and Anna recently welcomed their fifth child after Josh had an extensive stay in a "Christian rehab" facility, which was criticized for not actually having hired any trained psychologists or therapists. The family posted photos of the pair and congratulations, but many fans of the series were not having it. After expressing serious displeasure, they were taken off the "top spot" from the cover photo and Kendra Caldwell and Joseph Duggar, who recently got married, replaced them. Some fans think they are attempting to rebuild Josh's image by slowly re-introducing him to fans and congratulating him on milestones in his life, but it is clear that many will never forgive him for his past indiscretions.
It is unclear where Josh stands in terms of his relationship with his sisters, however, the girls are all very close to Anna Duggar, as she lived with the family for some time after the scandal.
Fans not happy over anniversary congratulations
The Duggar official Facebook page congratulated Josh and Anna for being married nine years ago today, but fans were less than pleased to see him back on their timelines.
Many have expressed concern that Anna Duggar is in a relationship with Josh against her will, and that she would most likely divorce him after the molestation and cheating scandals if she were living in a more secular environment.
"I live [sic] the Duggar family’s and the shows but it disgusts me to even hear anything about Josh .. to me Anna is staying against her will .. she’s staying because of his and her family’s ..so sad," a fan expressed.
Suffice to say, Josh is one of the least favorite Duggar children.
