Josh & Anna Smuggar: A Series of Unfortunate Events

[farmgal4]

Josh isn't a man that met a woman he was attracted to and had an affair. He has demonstrated that he has not been able to control his sexual impulses since he was 14, no matter how bad they were. In my opinion, there is an ick factor to this that goes way beyond a man cheating on his wife. At this point we know about child molesting, porn addiction, and adultery. That is quite a list. What is going to come out next?

"What is going to come out next?"

I don't know, but I pray to God that it involves adults only, if you know what I mean...

[frenchtoast]

Hey folks, just wanted to let you know, we added to the pinned note to please not speculate whether Josh will harm himself. It just gets into uncomfortable territory for a site about television..

 

Thanks! Carry on with the schadenfreude.

[Bossa Nova]

Maybe Josh is the father of Bristol Palin's 2nd child now on the way.

 

Seems they both share the same family values and all.

If this was true, I'd have to go back to church because it would keep the tabloids busy for the rest of our LIVES.

 

Imagine Smuggar dealing with Caribou Barbie...

Dear Mama,
Here are some thoughts I had on the statement we just issued. I left your words in those huggy marks that make an eyeball when you put them together. We can still change this thing, right?

 

Statement from Josh Duggar:
I have been the biggest stud (hypocrite) ever. While exposing (espousing) faith and family values, I have been a real Gothardite (unfaithful) to my wife. I am so bummed that I screwed up (ashamed of) the double life that I have been living and am grieved for the loss of income (pain) my sin has caused me (my wife and family), and most of all Mama and Daddy (Jesus) and the people at FRC and TLC (all those who profess faith in Him). I have brought hurt and a big drop in income (reproach) to my family, especially Jill and Jessa, who are threatening to kill me and I don't think they're kidding this time, close friends and the leghumpers (fans of our show) with my pitiful attempts to get some side action (actions).

 

The last few years, while publicly lying to (stating I was fighting against immorality in) our country I was hiding the many ways I got my rocks off (my own personal failures).

As I am learning the hard way, I should listen to Mama and Daddy or at least do more drywall (we have the freedom to choose our actions, but we do not get to choose our consequences). I deeply regret all the fun I will now miss (hurt I have caused to so many) by being so fucking stupid (such a bad example).

 

I humbly ask please put Mama and Daddy and my pissed off sisters back on TV so they’ll get off my ass (for your forgiveness). Please don’t make it worse with (pray for my precious wife) Anna since she’s already sleeping with a kitchen knife (and our family during this time).
Josh Duggar
Dear Josh, Take your medication and go back to bed. Daddy and I will handle this. Mama
PS: Jana will  be over soon with your dinner

I wonder how many version apologies Anna is getting right now.  It was Satan, Anna.  OK no it wasn't Satan, it was an online porn addiction.  OK well it was more than that it was unfaithfulness, yes an affair.

 

How many Josh?

Before it's over, TLC and the show will be blamed.

OMG, this is the best thing EVER! Bravo! xoxoxoxoxo

[Darknight]

I bet poor Anna is being bombarded with everyone around her saying that this just God's way of testing her faith. I am sure that even THINKING of leaving will be considered some level of failure on HER part. I hope her renegade sister can get some time alone with her.

If Anna got an std would they still be saying that?

[randomania]

The statement got edited again: no more porn addiction, straight-out saying he was "unfaithful":

 

These people really do not understand how the Internet works.

[HundFan]

Thanks farmgal4. It really was my pleasure!

[Happyfatchick]

I called it earlier, King of FAP!

Next, stop saying that...I don't know what it means!!!

[HundFan]

HFC, it means self-pleasuring by a man.

[Oldernowiser]

Well, see, I thought it meant free access porn.

I'm an idiot.

[Missy Vixen]

Well, see, I thought it meant free access porn.

No, you're not.

 

I think we're all getting an education about lots of things before this is over. ;-)

[Defrauder]

JB is very sharp about how the family assets are invested. What assets are actually in Josh and Anna's name? The house they're renovating now, I think. JB can quickly close the purse strings and hurt Anna financially (as she waits for court process for support).

Perhaps although I think a good lawyer can determine where Josh stored any of his 6 figure income from his independent job in DC while he was married.  Also if Anna left Josh for this the Duggars would look even worse if Josh didn't support his children.  I hope finances (or the threat of financial poverty) doesn't keep her tied to this adulterer. 

[CofCinci]

Perhaps Josh will now have the freedom to be the real Josh, his true authentic self. Come Fall, he could be guest hosting stripper competitions with Danny Bonnaduce and Slash. Maybe Farrah from Teen Mom can introduce Josh to her genital mold tech and we'll be able to buy Josh Duggar Dildos by Christmas (just what grandma wants).

[barbedwire]

Yes!  He would look like such a dick if he was not supporting his 4 kids.  Oh please Anna get a lawyer!  Then the age old question of whether the adult kids get their own paycheck from TLC and whether that is handed over to JimBoob or not may be answered.  She would be so much better off in Florida right now.

[mythoughtis]

I really don't care that Josh was on dating sites.  Anna may care, if she didn't agree to it in the first place.  Her parents may care because it's not what they wanted in a husband for their daughter.  Jim Bob and Michelle care because their money grubbing reality tv days are over.   I just think it is amazing to me that Josh fell into the same trap a lot of other fundie men fall into:

 

They really really are not attracted to women who wear frumpy clothes because they are cheap and because that is what everyone else in their church thinks they should wear.  They really would like to see a little leg, and cleavage on their wives, and some lingerie too.   They really would like to see R rated movies, and TV shows where dating and s*x are considered normal.  They really would like to talk to their wives without 19 kids whining and fussing and reading Barney every night.  None of those wishes are abnormal.... except in their odd little fundie world. So then they are stuck with accountability partners and courtships and 5000 other things to pretend that men aren't men.   This is what happens.   Just once I would like a couple to stand  up to their parents and say - this is silly.... God doesn't care about any of this.   I want them to say we will do x and x to help others because we are paying forward God's grace.... but these rules won't get me into heaven so we will decide what we consider ok - not you.

In May when the scandal broke I had a feeling there was more to the story, as terrible as everything was I didn't buy that they laid it all out there at that point, there seemed like there was still more hidden.

Then the Ashley Madison hack broke I was thinking "I wonder what celebrity is gonna be outed in this". When I first heard it was none other than josh I was skeptical, he was one of the last bigger sex scandals so I thought it was just too easy to link his name to this, I didn't actually believe it until people reported it.

I'm going to preface this with I'm not saying ANY of this is actually good, it's just my effort to try to see the slightly brighter side, but I will say I'm glad if he was going to continue his sexual obsession, I'm am glad it was consenting adults vs defenseless children.

What I don't understand is that some woman out there had sex with him. Just gross.

[IndianPaintbrush]

It's rather ironic that Gothardites place such an emphasis on chaperones and not being alone with someone of the opposite sex before marriage.  I'd say Josh is in need of a chaperone more than anyone else. 

[toodles]

Still, why would they care about what the public thinks about them unless they want to maintain their fanbase?

I don't get this either.  Apologizing to fans.  Really?  You don't have a show anymore.  Maybe he forgot.

[FakeJoshDuggar]

So the new statement says flat out that Josh was unfaithful to Anna. With all of the revisions, I assume shit is getting very real at their house today.

Edited August 20, 2015 by FakeJoshDuggar

[Julia]

Same old same old. Josh issues a statement written by a PR team (and live-edited on an ongoing basis, no less!) yet again without standing up like a real man to face cameras and take questions. Same as his mea minima culpa re the molestations. Boob and MEchelle really don't trust that boy to untangle his own knots, do they? Josh is still shaking and hiding in the folds of MEchelle's denim skirt, waiting for someone else to mop up the puddle he just made on the floor. 

 

Yes, Josh has got a really big problem. His parents have known this ever since he was a teen but haven't wanted to admit it and risk not being considered the Parents of the Millenium. Well, their denial came back to bite them in the ass big time. Will the Duggars bite the bullet now and try to get him some real help, or will they just tell him to pray even harder? 

 

This is the part where I kind of pity Josh, although I find that easier in the abstract. Because instead of giving him the attention he apparently desperately needed as a teenager (other than a very occasional slap on the wrist), his parents essentially set him loose on his sisters and rewarded him for not getting caught. And his behavior got more and more extreme, and the more extreme his behavior got, the more his parents talked real loud in public about what a good boy he was and forced his sisters to go along. And hey, they may have had something different to say in private, but if you don't say it in public, it doesn't exist, right? And until it all fell down, he wafted all the way into an executive suite in DC on the rising methane from his decaying soul and the wind Jim Bob and Michelle blew up his ass. 

 

With sane parents he might have had the chance to be a garden-variety asshole frat boy whose wife is off somewhere having an affair of her own, and a lot of heartache could have been avoided.

Sadder than sad. His wife, four babes. A very damaged Josh.

Though I am a liberal, full-service acceptor/tolerant (and anathema to the Duggars) I will hold Anna and Josh -- and their four innocents -- in my heart and care.

Good luck, guys. Xox

[Churchhoney]

does Josh honestly think he has such a following that he needs to apologize to them?

 

Yes.

Anna is entitled to child support and alimony if she divorces.  She's not chained to this rotten egg.

 

The sad thing about that is that he gets less employable by the minute. She'd better move fast while there's still a little cash left.

[Oldernowiser]

"And until it all fell down, he wafted all the way into an executive suite in DC on the rising methane from his decaying soul and the wind Jim Bob and Michelle blew up his ass. "

Damn. That's POETRY. Who knew it could be created out of this festering mess?

Congratulations!

I just came from reading a lengthy Facebook post/replies from a guy (never heard of him) who wrote that he defended Josh over the molestation but now that the new scandal has arrived he feels he was wrong. A lot of fundie defenders in the comments but there are definitely a number who feel that molestation was bad, but forgiveable, yet porn and adultery is just going way too far. First I'm disturbed that this seems to be how they prioritize these sins (but it seems to be that they are upset over the fact that he hasn't repented from the molestation after all) but it was interesting to note the number of Christians speaking out against Josh. Definitely detected a turning tide...

I also noticed a large number of comments (a few on this board as well) regarding Josh's "sex addiction" and need for rehab. I'm a recovering alcoholic myself so I have no question that many people suffer from this, I'm just not sure that's a cut and dried diagnosis. No snark - wondering what's the basis for this conclusion from so many people. Isn't it possible he's "just" an adulterous scumbag who jerks off to porn?

I believe that guy is crapbag extraordinaire Matt Walsh.

[JenCarroll]

Let's see. Version 2 removed the reference to Satan. Version 3 has removed the reference to his "actions" when he was 14-15 years old, and the porn addiction. Is that right? That's where we are now? It just keeps getting less and less specific. I wonder what the final version will say.

"At some point in my life I may have made mistakes. Oops."

Edited August 20, 2015 by JenCarroll

[Defrauder]

He's smarter than most people according to himself.  I'm sure that's  what  he was thinking lying to Anna for years.

Edited August 20, 2015 by Defrauder

[Kiss my mutt]

Any attorneys on the board who would represent Anna pro bono???

I've been waiting for the other shoe to drop since the molestation scandal came out but I imagine there are a closet full of shoes to be dropped any minute.

I don't have to agree with Anna's beliefs to feel for her. I can't imagine having this scandal break, giving birth and having three kids at home and then during recovery having to deal with this bullshit. But as awful as it is for her, maybe this will be the "best" thing for her IF she has a real come to Jesus moment and gets the hell out of there.

Though Smugs doesn't have a job maybe, hopefully, they have invested some of their earnings from the show and she can get a settlement plus maintenance and child support. I have a sliver of hope this could happen.

I'm pretty interested in how the other duggar kids will deal with having such a fuck up for a brother.

[Wellfleet]

Well, now I just have one question left. For those of us who felt, after the molestation scandal, that there still might be organizations willing to employ Josh, albeit behind-the-scenes, in a political capacity... what do we think now? I cannot imagine any group willing to work with him now. He better get used to life gassing up Daddy's trucks and John-David's plane. Maybe someday being allowed to assisting Ben with lavatory duties. That's his future now.

[JenCarroll]

He's smarter than most people according to himself.  I'm sure that what was he was thinking lying to Anna for years.

Yeah, he's also more pure than most people, according to the same source. What would you have to do to be considered less pure than Josh Duggar?

I just love how all of the different versions are made public first.  He's so smart.

May it be so.

[CofCinci]

What I don't understand is that some woman out there had sex with him. Just gross.

I speculate that any sexual partners he had in DC were older, established women.  DC is a very competitive region for hot, younger women.  Why fuck Josh Duggar when you can be the sugar baby of a General, head of the CIA, Congressmen or influential lobbyists?

Political organizations consider him untouchable.

[DorthyJaneway]

What's really sad is that I think if Anna did divorce Josh they(the church/cult) would turn their backs on her in an instant. Whereas the church/cult would back up Josh no matter what shit he pulled. Men are considered the better more superior sex and in the end the man will be the one they stand up for. Also I would not be surprised if for some odd reason if she does divorce Josh that they(the Duggars/Josh) don't attempt to seek custody of the children. Not that they would have a leg to stand on but they are the kind of people I could see pulling this type of move. 

[EarlGreyTea]

Anna stood there in that Father's Day video and thanked Jim Bob for raising such an awesome husband. OMG.

 

What a total underhanded, shameless, callous snake Josh is. He let his sisters go on Fox and be interviewed, exposing their pain and crying to millions of viewers, he let JB and Michelle essentially take most of the heat by being interviewed by Megyn Kelly, he let Anna post all those nauseating photos post-scandal of them on a date night, he let Huckabee defend him and take major heat for it...knowing all the while he was still bullshitting all of them. Jesus would never, Josh! No wonder he's been losing weight. Asshole probably couldn't even sleep at night.

 

Any attorneys on the board who would represent Anna pro bono???

 

Gloria Allred or Shawn Chapman Holley representing Anna would make my year. Actually this whole scandal has made my horrible week a whole lot better, so thanks for that, Josh.

 

Finally, it's clear the Duggars finally hired a new PR person, because that was Hugh Grant levels of mea culpa. Whoever it was earned their paycheck. Would bet my life it's someone at TTH making those edits. Hey morons, the internet never forgets.

Edited August 20, 2015 by EarlGreyTea

[barbedwire]

But I don't think Anna's family (well maybe Priss if Davely said so) would turn their backs on her.

[3girlsforus]

This... and JB would grind her into the ground no matter how it would affect his grandchildren. Anna can only leave Josh if her parents support her - both emotionally and financially.

[Ilovemylabs]

"As far as Josh being unfaithful, he is a fundie and in the Bible Jesus said that if you look with lust on a woman other than your wife, it is the same as adultery (You have committed adultery in your heart). So that may be what he believes. I would be careful calling anything an affair with these two."

Two years on Ashley Madison = 99.99% chance that we aren't just talking lustful looks here.

Ashley Madison members were almost 95% men, according to reports.  He may have chatted with some of them, but otherwise?  Doesn't really matter because in his culture it's the same thing.

[JoanArc]

Ah, I KNEW the stripper rumor were true. They'll be some paternity testing going on. I'm sure Josh didn't mind being inappropriately touched over clothes in VIP Champagne room.

 

On another note, I'm waiting for the drug revelations. Even if it's just pot, I have a feelings he's done something.

 

The edits baffle me. The Duggars are true idiots.

 

Anna needs to build a fortress around her pussy. Get some trebuchets up in that shit, girl. Oh and get a divorce.

 

....Josh.

[3girlsforus]

I speculate that any sexual partners he had in DC were older, established women.  DC is a very competitive region for hot, younger women.  Why fuck Josh Duggar when you can be the sugar baby of a General, head of the CIA, Congressmen or influential lobbyists?

 

I guess this is possible but it seems more likely to me that if he had any sexual partners he paid for them. 

[Chicklet]

David Vitter is still employed after his little "indiscretion" so maybe Josh is employable in the future. And those two fundie Michigan state senators who were doing each other while lying that he was gay and blackmailed and...the list goes on, memories fade and sooner rather than later Josh will be back in business slut-shaming for Jesus.

[farmgal4]

So the new statement says flat out that Josh was unfaithful to Anna. With all of the revisions, I assume shit is getting very real at their house today.

What's up with all of the revisions? Why?

[xtwheeler]

My new theory is that the only way Josh makes any kind of living is by breaking with the family and being the one to write the tell-all book we've always wanted.

[Marigold]

Josh is going to go "away" to some Christian place...for about 4 months or so. "to get his heart right with God"

 

Anna will stay in Arkansas and look forward to a renewed and faithful husband returning to her and the kids.

 

Josh will write some book or do some press about how he changed his life around. 

 

But Michelle and Jim Bob are gonna dump him in some program. 

[galax-arena]

I believe that guy is crapbag extraordinaire Matt Walsh.

http://www.whatismattwalshwrongabouttoday.com/

[SmallTownMom]

Once again, Josh is very sorry....................AFTER he gets caught.

 

Now he will humble himself before the Lord and all will be forgiven.  Right, got it.

 

Anna, you need to get away from this sorry excuse for a husband.

 

Hope we never see them on TV again.  Bye, bye, Duggars.

[Marigold]

I think more will come out.

where there is smoke, there is fire. Ashley Madison isn't the only thing he has been doing. I bet there are strippers, prostitues, girlfriends and a whole can of worms just waiting to spill over.

 

Totally agree. What a POS to allow his parents to do that interview and his sisters...and EVERYTHING knowing that he has a closet jammed packed with skeletons. 

He is a special kind of ass. 

 

I have posted this before...i think Jim Bob and Michelle might have been pushed too far. Joshie might be out on his ass with a Biblical shunning.
