Sisters Jill (Duggar) Dillard and Jessa (Duggar) Seewald have been in their embroiled in their brother Josh Duggar's web of controversies. Early this year, it was revealed that Josh sexually molested young girls during his teenage years, and two of his victims were Jill and Jessa, per a previous Parent Herald report. However, that is just the start of the whole Duggar Fiasco, because when the Ashley Madison hack scandal broke out, Josh's affairs and perversions surfaced, which resulted to the cancelation of the Duggar family's longtime reality TV show, "19 Kids and Counting."
Basing on their experiences as sisters and victims of their brother, Jill and Jessa open up in the first promo video of their new reality show on TLC called "Jill and Jessa: Counting On," ET Online reports. In the teaser, the sister broke down while retelling the hardships that the Duggar family went through in the past months without addressing or dropping Josh's scandal directly.
Jessa said, "The whole world was shocked. You have to wonder, 'How did this happen?'"
"You're angry and hurt and all those emotions all mixed together. I cry a lot of tears, I still do. I know I'm hurting," Jill shared while in tears.
But despite the controversies, Jessa is still optimistic for the future as she and husband Ben Seewald is expecting their first-born soon. She said, "Definitely with all the difficulties that my family has walked through, there's still a lot of exciting milestones ahead Ben [Seewald] and I are very excited to welcome our first little one into the world very soon."
Jill also believes that the Duggar family "will come out of this fire stronger."
"Jill and Jessa: Counting On" is a spin-off of the now defunct "19 Kids and Counting." According to the Associated Press, the show will center on Jessa and Jill's lives as they go through a new journey of motherhood.
Meanwhile, a Fashion & Style report says that Jill, who is supposed to deliver Jessa's child, has allegedly abandoned her sister two weeks before her due date on Nov. 1? The report notes that Jill and her husband Derick Dillard has now returned to Central America for their mission work after staying in the U.S. to attend the weddings of her cousins.
On Oct. 21, Derick wrote on their blog, The Dillards, that they are indeed going back to their mission work, saying, "We had a great visit recently to the States and as always it was a little hard to say goodbye! We are headed back to Central America"
