After weeks of intense speculation and disdain, the Duggars are finally ready.
It has been a whirlwind month for the family who just kept having children. Nineteen to be exact. Now their show 19 Kids and Counting has been pulled from all major networks, and we’ve heard of every sordid, disturbing detail of Josh Duggar’s past “mistakes”, it seems as though the Duggars are finally ready to face the music.
And in true reality TV style, all is going to be revealed through an on-air interview.
On Wednesday night, Fox News Channel’s Megyn Kelly will interview Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar about their son’s molestation allegations.
The family have released an exclusive press statement via their website to confirm the news:
Next week we will sit down with Megyn Kelly on Fox News to share our hearts with you about the pain that we walked through as a family twelve years ago, the tears we all shed and the forgiveness that was given. We appreciate the outpouring of love and prayers for our family at this time.
-Jim Bob & Michelle Duggar
No doubt the entire world will be watching with bated breath to see how Michelle and Jim Bob handle questions about the way in which they hid their son’s criminality and sent him to do some manual labour with a family friend in an effort to redeem him.
Fsns of their reality show 19 Kids and Counting, are very concerned about how Josh is coping with these mistakes from his past being brought up so long after it happened (you can read more about the bizarre justifications that fans have for Josh’s assaults here). And many viewers feel betrayed by the show (including Mia, who wrote about feeling sucked in to the Duggar circus here).
But it wasn’t until now that the Duggar’s neighbours and townsfolk in Arkansas city have spoken out about what it’s like to live so close to them.

Why wouldn't they have the interview on TV. The whole world is hammering down their door and out for blood so if I was them, I too, would do 1 interview, answer the questions and move on. The fastest, most effective way to address the issue.
I worry about Josh Duggar's children.
Well so do I! Maybe we should look a little deeper into that family. Seems as though sex was all that was important. Baby after baby being born in that house.Guess he thought it was ok. Wow it is disgusting to know that it was ok with his parents so to speak. What if someone has molested one of the daughters! Would they have excepted just prayer as punishment for the accused?
