Jill, Jessa Duggar News 2015: Josh's Sisters Refuse To Talk About His Scandals While Trying To ‘Dictate’ Their Media Interviews [VIDEO]
Apparently Jill and Jessa Duggar still think they have the same media leverage they had before the Duggar family's fall from grace. There's a new report that says the Duggar sisters refused to talk about their brother Josh Duggar's scandals in a sit-down magazine interview and that they are trying to "dictate" their own terms when it comes to what they will and won't say to the media.
According to the New York Daily News on Wednesday, Jill and Jessa struggled to control their interview with People Magazine, as they supposedly refused to talk about Josh's sexual molestation case along with the more recent Ashley Madison scandal, in which he admits to cheating on his wife Anna.
A source told the site, "They did not want to discuss the scandal, only the future of the family. They wanted to avoid it altogether, which is completely ridiculous. How can they do a cover story and not address the issue at hand?"
The insider added, "The Duggars said we would love to, however we will not address Josh's trouble. People tried to negotiate and eventually played hardball, saying we're doing the cover with or without you."
According to The Daily Mail on Friday, Jessa is also none too happy that no one has been offering her interviews to talk about her pregnancy.
The site said, "Jessa has been trying to maintain a public profile via social media and has posted regular updates of her burgeoning baby bump. She and Ben even devised a poll and asked people to vote on whether they think the couple will welcome a boy, a girl or even twins. They've also set up their own website www.theseewaldfamily.com where they post videos and share devotional messages."
Jessa is reportedly due to give birth in November. This will be her first child with her husband, Ben Seewald.
