‘Josh’s Integrity Is Gone. It’s Scary.’: Duggar Family Members Hope Josh Gets ‘Broken’ In Rehab

Members of the “19 Kids and Counting” clan are speaking out against Josh Duggar, and they say they’re “furious” at him.

Josh Duggar‘s choices have repeatedly spelled big trouble for the Duggar family.

His molestation of five young girls — including several of his sisters — when he was a teen, earlier this year led to the cancellation of the family’s hit reality TV series, “19 Kids and Counting.” That loss is also a huge financial loss for the Duggar family. One branding expert estimates they could be losing “$25 million or more a year” as a result. And now, Josh may be facing a lawsuit by one of his non-family victims as a result.

His work at the anti-gay hate group Family Research Council brought a tremendous amount of ill-will and scrutiny to the entire family, leading to cries of hypocrisy when it was revealed he had two paid Ashley Madison accounts.

Engaging in infidelity brought greater scrutiny, and almost immediately it was reported Josh may have had a separate Facebook account under an assumed name, with which he may have been communicating with strippers.

The Ashley Madison revelation also led to his admission of cheating and being “addicted” to pornography, and even great scrutiny, revealing he may also have had an account at another dating site, OkCupid. That account used a photograph of a relatively unknown DJ and model, who is now contemplating legal action against Duggar.

And now, of course, Josh is in rehab, although it’s Christian rehab, with “no medical staff.”

So it may come as no surprise that members of the Duggar family are furious with the elder son.

“We are all shocked and broken and furious,” one family member told Entertainment Tonight.

“Josh’s integrity is gone,” the Duggar family member continued. “It’s scary. You never know who can have a double life.”

“You really think you know someone. Josh was caught with his hand in the cookie jar and I hope he gets broken in rehab and gets the help he needs. I hope Anna finds the strength to make some changes.”

Another family member also expressed upset.

“My heart is broken over this. I hope and pray Josh gets the help he needs,” they said. “I believe he is getting that help. We had no idea about any of this.”

Of course, not everyone tied to the Duggar clan feels the need to berate him anonymously. 

Josh’s brother-in-law Daniel Keller blasted Josh’s “apology,” as Mediaite reports, “promising that he ‘won’t stop trying to get that pig out of our family.'”
