Jessa Duggar Distancing Herself From Josh Following Second Sex Scandal
If 19 siblings at home won't make you want to leave the house, perhaps, an embattled brother who publicly admitted of molesting girls will?
Jessa Duggar, 22, recently attended the "Southern Women's Show" in Orlando, Fla., wherein she will have to face the media for a Q&A portion. According to ET Online, the interview is supposed to be subtle and should not include any questions regarding her older brother and the current situation he's in right now. However, a media personnel was able to smoothly deliver the question without much warning.
Newlyweds Jessa and Ben Seewald were supposed to answer any questions — possibly already screened — pertaining to their new life as a married couple, but one photographer managed to ask, "Just wanted to know how the family is coping with the latest scandal involving your brother?"
Jessa chose not to answer the question, but calmly smiled as her way of dismissing it. Jessa made headlines when she publicly defended her brother against the allegations thrown at him. However, when the second sex scandal surfaced, it was the last straw for Jessa. She had enough and decided to not comment about it.
In June, Jessa's FOX News interview with Megyn Kelly revealed how much she wanted to defend her brother, saying, as quoted by ET Online, "I do want to speak up in his defense against people who are calling him a child molester, or a pedophile or a rapist, people are saying. That is so overboard and a lie really. I mean people will get mad at me for saying that but I'm like I can say this. I was one of the victims."
A few weeks ago, Jessa already distanced herself from her brother and looked past the issues, concentrating rather on her upcoming TLC special with her husband along with the pending birth of their first child.
"19 Kids and Counting," the program where Jessa's family was first known, was cancelled after Josh's scandal. Jessa has now moved on with her own reality show. "We're going to be doing some filming preparing to welcome this little one into our lives. It's gonna be great."
A report from Radar Online reveals that Jessa will definitely practice a different parenting style and vows not to have 19 kids. She's even considered adopting a child after their first biological child is born. Jessa fervently defended her brother amidst the scandal despite being one of the victims, but after his brother admitted to more scandals, she tried to dismiss it by focusing on motherhood.
