After admitting to sexually molesting five girls, including her sisters, and having an Ashley Madison account, can Josh Duggar save his marriage with Anna Duggar?
According to a report from Hollywood Life, Anna, 27, has been thinking of ending their marriage, and Josh is not happy about it.
A source from the news outlet said that "when Josh heard that Anna was contemplating divorce, he flipped out." The insider added, "Since Anna moved out of her home with Josh, they don't speak on a regular basis."
Enstars reports that Anna has been distancing herself from the Duggars and their controversies by moving out of the family's home in Arkansas and staying at her parent's home in Florida with their four children.
"She's still living with her mom. It's been stressful and continues to be a heavy load, but she's staying strong for her kids with the help of her mom," said the source, per Hollywood Life.
Inquistr adds that Josh is going through a treatment program for his sex and porn addiction at a Reformers Unanimous facility in Rockford, Illinois. The facility uses "Bible study and labor" to change the bad habits of their "students." The news outlet reveals that communication between the couple has been hard, but even though Josh is away from Anna, “he’s been begging her not to leave him. He says he’s determined to change, by the grace of God, and [he’s] working hard to get to that place," the insider disclosed to Hollywood Life.
Despite Josh's pleads, Anna is staying strong for the kids. Some of Anna's siblings want their sister to leave the reality star for good. Daniel Keller, Anna's brother, is pioneering a "divorce intervention" to convince her sister to leave Josh.
It was a rough year for Josh and the whole Duggar family. Apart from admitting to sexually molesting his sisters and other girls during his teenage years, when the Ashley Madison scandal exploded, Josh's name was dragged again for public scrutiny when it was revealed that he had two accounts for the infidelity website and spent almost a thousand dollars for the services, per the data obtained by Gawker.
However, Josh's scandals did not end there. Hollywood Life also revealed that Josh had a secret Facebook account, where he was friends with strippers and models. One stripper, Danica Dillon, admitted to allegedly having sex with Josh while a second woman claimed that she had a "rough" sexual encounter with the “19 Kids and Counting” star.
In September, Josh released an apology statement on the Duggar's website, saying, "I have been the biggest hypocrite ever. I have secretly over the last several years been viewing pornography on the internet and this became a secret addiction.”
