Anna Duggar calls 10 years with Josh Duggar a ‘wonderful adventure’ on anniversary

It has been a rough few years for former TLC reality star Josh Duggar, but his wife Anna Duggar seems to be putting a positive spin on his child molestation scandal involving his sisters, Josh's Ashley Madison account and sex addiction admission, his time in rehab, Josh losing his job with the Family Research Council (as well as TLC), and the numerous lawsuits as she sums up their decade together as a "wonderful adventure."

Derick Dillard says he and Jill were ‘volunteers’ for TLC, so which Duggars get paid and which don’t?!

Derick Dillard is claiming that he and his wife Jill Dillard "were volunteers and hadn’t been paid anything" for their appearances on 19 Kids & Counting and Counting On. As preposterous as that may sound, a source with an understanding of TLC and Discovery contracts argues that it is completely feasible that all of the payments are set up to go through family patriarch Jim Bob Duggar. That sort of arrangement could explain a lot, including The Dilllards' falling out with TLC as well as Derick and Jill continuing to ask for donations to help pay for his enrollment in a missionary program.

Derick Dillard fundraiser shut down by Pure Charity website

The day after Hurricane Harvey made landfall in Texas, Counting On star Derick Dillard launched a fundraising campaign in hopes of raising $6,500 “for various missions opportunities…including trips for Gospel-advancement and humanitarian work in Northwest Arkansas, North America, and abroad.” Within just a few days, the campaign was removed -- apparently by the hosting website due to a violation of their terms of use.
