’19 Kids & Counting’ News 2015: Michelle And Jim Bob Duggar Reportedly Hired A Crisis Expert To Help Save Their Show [VIDEO]
It looks as though the Duggars are doing just about anything they can to not only save face, but their reality television show as well. After Josh Duggar's decade old child molestation case surfaced in the media last month, parents Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar have been trying to save their family's reputation and their celebrity future by allegedly hiring a crisis manager.
According to In Touch Weekly on Monday, the Duggars have been very careful in selecting their words and are trying to win back their fans before TLC gives their show the axe. Josh allegedly molested his own sisters, which also include Jessa and Jill Duggar, when he was a teenager back in 2002 and 2003. The Duggars have since then been on the offense, trying to tell their side of the story during a sit-down interview with Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly last week.
A source told the site, "A plane used by the Duggars show that it flew to the location of their crisis public relations specialist prior to giving these interviews in an attempt to save their TLC show. The Duggars also met with their own PR team ahead of the interviews."
What's more, a Duggar inside supposedly said that Josh's behavior towards his victims showed "sexual compulsion, not curiosity," as he parents explained during their interview.
Dr. Paula Bruce told the site, "None of them acknowledged that this is predatory behavior. It's classic. It's got dominance and exploitation...That's a pattern of someone who is becoming more sexually compulsive and increasingly so. That's not the pattern of someone who is resolving their sexual compulsivity."
So far, the Duggar family has not responded to the criticism. Their reality show has been pulled from TLC's lineup, although the network hasn't confirmed whether or not they will be canceling the show for good.
