The Duggars Return to TV With ‘Jill & Jessa: Counting On’
The Duggars have returned to TV with the show "Jill & Jessa: Counting On."
Sisters Jill (Duggar) Dillard and Jessa (Duggar) Seewald made their debut on the new TLC program on Sunday night, according to Entertainment Weekly.
"You always think in the beginning of the year what the year will hold and it hasn't been what we thought," Jill said.
The first scenes of the show reveal Jill and Jessa taking care of their families.
Some of the topics mentioned during the show include Jill and husband Derick's move to South America and Jessa and Ben's preparation for their baby. Later on the sisters begin to discuss their brother Josh and the multiple scandals surrounding him. News came out back in May that as a teenager he had molested five underage girls, two of which were his sisters Jill and Jessa.
"We had moved on from there," Jill says of the news being released years after the family had come to terms with it. "To be thrown under the bus was really really hard." As one of the victims she says, "You don't want that rubbed in your face all the time, for everyone else to see . . . That wasn't right whoever released that. It shouldn't have happened."
Jessa also added how there was a period of time where their whole family was hesitant to trust Josh, however, after they sought counseling things improved within their family.
In talking about Josh's second scandal, which was his pornography addiction and affair, she became emotional during the interview.
"Knowing now what Joshua was hiding . . . it wasn't right for him to let us speak our words without having the full knowledge of what he was hiding," Jill said.
Jessa added, "We were devastated. Over the years Josh had worked really hard to repair our trust in him."
Later in the show some of the other siblings in the family speak out about Josh's scandals as well.
"Jill & Jessa: Counting On" airs on Sundays at 8 p.m. ET on TLC.
