Over the years — and especially when the Duggar family made headlines for Josh Duggar’s crimes — many anonymous friends-of-the-family have popped up online. These insiders often share secrets that fans wouldn’t otherwise know, such as the fact that Michelle’s baby-soft voice was seemingly largely for show or that Josh knew more about computers than he let on during his trial.
Fortunately for fans (and critics) of the Duggars, the big reveals haven’t stopped since the family’s reality series ended. Instead, former friends of the Duggars continue to share their stories online, revealing everything from hand-me-down computers with illicit material to the girls’ odd behavior around Josh to anecdotes about their daily lives.
The Duggars’ Hand-Me-Down Computers Contained Illicit Material
A Duggar insider claims their family inherited devices with deleted files
One Reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything) on the r/DuggarsSnark subreddit started off with a bang in 2022. A person (verified by the moderators) revealed that their family inherited hand-me-down computers from the Duggar family that contained “deleted porn files.”
In addition to that fascinating detail, the Redditor elaborated about their experiences growing up as part of the Duggars’ religion (Institute of Basic Life Principles, or IBLP) and spending time in their home.
Fans Found Josh And Anna Duggar’s Resurfaced Honeymoon Photos, Noticed Something Cringe
Josh and Anna Duggar’s honeymoon photos were picked apart by fans and critics after they resurfaced online.
Interestingly, the computer incident didn’t change the Redditor’s family’s relationship with the Duggars; it was pointed out that the family explained away the inappropriate material by saying they must have gotten a virus.
To fans of the Duggars today, that may sound like wishful thinking, especially as Josh Duggar has been convicted of possessing inappropriate material of children, which was stored on a computer used by him with software he is known to have spoken to people about.
However, the insider couldn’t prove that the material was intentionally downloaded, or by whom.
The Insider Claims All The Duggar Girls Shied Away From Josh
The girls interacted differently with John-David, for example, according to the insider
The exact timeline of the anonymous Redditor’s time with the Duggars wasn’t made clear, but they did suggest they spent a lot of time at the Duggar family compound when they were around ten years old.
The Redditor, who was later revealed to be male (thanks to a joke about his crush on Jessa back in the day), explained that his parents were close with the Duggars and often used the family as babysitters and even relied on Jim Bob for spiritual and parenting guidance. While spending time at the Duggars’ home, the insider picked up on some interesting habits in the family.
While another insider revealed that Josh and John-David (the next oldest Duggar son) once had a physical brawl, Redditor “BowmanFedosky” indicated that the girls acted differently around Josh versus their other brothers.
Josh Duggar’s Fellow Inmate Claims Josh Is A “Regular, Nice” Guy Behind Bars
Josh Duggar is a celebrity in prison, with fellow inmates calling him a “nice” guy, but critics are not impressed with that report.
They noted that “none of the girls were very open or talkative around Josh,” which they later realized could have been a sign of Josh’s misdeeds.
Further, the Redditor noted, “There was a large difference between how they acted with him and how they acted with John David. I regularly saw them laughing and joking and talking with John David but did not see this a lot with Josh.”
It’s also said that Jana was “goofy” and fun-loving, which many viewers of the Duggars’ shows suspect has since, unfortunately, changed.
Insiders Discovered What Life Was Really Like for The Duggar Kids
A handful of anecdotes revealed more about the Duggar kids’ upbringing
The anonymous Redditor shared various stories about the Duggars that not only gave insight into what was revealed later, but also hinted at the various Duggar kids’ personalities.
For example, the insider claimed that one time, he saw Jessa Duggar purposely sit on a pee-soaked couch so that she could change her outfit, because the kids could only change clothes if they got dirty.
A Canceled Season Of 19 Kids And Counting May Have Aired Dirty Duggar Laundry
The canceled season of 19 Kids and Counting promised to give insight into crucial moments in the Duggars’ lives, but then it never aired.
Other tidbits reinforce what many Duggar critics already pointed out about Michelle and Jim Bob — the fact that they didn’t do the lion’s share of childcare due to their buddy system. The insider related an occasion when a younger child approached Michelle, and instead of caring for the child, she asked where their buddy was.
Much of what the insider shared only reinforced what fans and critics thought about the Duggar family, but every detail that comes out only adds to concerns that the Duggar kids were not in a safe home environment, though the danger was removed for most of the younger kids.
