It looks like no matter what the Duggars do these days, they simply can't win over their critics. Sisters Jill and Jessa Duggar are being criticized for their campaign to help bring awareness about sexual abuse, as many people are calling them hypocrites for only speaking up about it after their brother Josh Duggar's scandal was revealed earlier this summer.

Jessa Duggar & Ben Seewald Called 'Hypocrites' For Wanting To Be On Television Again

According to Us Weekly on Monday, critics can't help but give Jill and Jessa the side eye for only speaking up about the issue after their family kept Josh's sexual abuse scandal well hidden for well over a decade. The scandalized reality television star confessed to sexually molesting Jill and Jessa along with two other sisters and a babysitter when he was a teenager back in 2002 and 2003. Now, the sisters are opening up about educating the public on the matter in "Breaking The Silence," a TLC documentary that aired this past weekend.

"I feel like this should be a discussion that people are having, even regularly," Jessa said during the program. "I think that it shouldn't be a taboo subject and that we should be bringing awareness to child sexual abuse and talking about it."

Her sister Jill added: "It was amazing to understand that there are so many people that deal with the exact same thing in their own families, so just being educated is very good."

Unfortunately though, it doesn't sound like their fans are convinced. Many commentators lashed out at the Duggars for being "hypocrites" about the matter.

Some comments included, "Jill and Jessa need help themselves, they are the last people who should be giving advice or raising awareness about childhood sexual abuse," along with, "You should have "raised awareness" shortly after the abuse occurred. And Josh should have been in a treatment center that specializes in this back then, too. This family is sick, fame-hungry hypocrites that give Christianity a terrible name."

So far the Duggar family has not responded to the backlash.
