Many fans of the Duggar family would say that Jill Duggar’s husband Derick Dillard would be the most controversial Duggar family member, and I would have to agree with them. For example, Dillard was actually fired from the family’s Reality Television Series “Counting On” after he made rather transphobic remarks towards Jazz Jennings. The reason TLC gave for kicking him off the show was that they didn’t want his controversial views to be associated with their network. Well, now Dillard is speaking out to say that his transphobic attack wasn’t aimed at Jazz Jennings.
What did Derick Dillard have to say about his transphobic attack?
What happened here was a Duggar family fan asked Dillard online why he attacked Jazz Jennings by saying “Jazz did nothing to him to deserve the trash talking she received. So try again. Judge others as he does & you’ll be judged the same." Dillard responded to the Duggar fan by saying: “None of anything I said was directed at Jazz.”
None of anything I said was directed at Jazz.

Dillard writing this has confused many Duggar family followers, as his attack was of course aimed at Jennings. To prove this, here is an excerpt from his Twitter rant about Jennings: “What an oxymoron... a ‘reality’ show which follows a non-reality.” Dillard then continued the controversial rant by saying: “’Transgender’ is a myth.
Gender is not fluid; it's ordained by God.”
The tweet was, of course, aimed at Jennings as she has her own reality television series on the TLC network called “I Am Jazz” which documents her transitioning to a different gender. I have put the whole tweet below so you can see with your own eyes what this Duggar family member said about Jennings.

What are the rest of the Duggar family up to now?
The new year has only just begun, and Jinger Duggar just revealed that she is expecting her first child with her husband, Jeremy Vuolo.
It is worth mentioning that Jinger is not the only Duggar family member that is expecting, as her sister Joy-Anna and her sister-in-law Kendra are also expecting as well. In case you forgot, Kendra is part of the Duggar family because she got married to Joesph Duggar, who was recently slammed online for the way he treats his wife. His treatment of Kendra has been criticized because a few fans believe Joesph hardly lets her speak. If you want to keep up with this family, you can watch their TLC reality television series “Counting On” and you can also follow them on their social media profiles as well.
