Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard: Slammed By Fans For Putting Israel, Unborn Child in Danger!

Pregnant Jill Duggar and husband Derick Dillard recently announced that they are returning to Central America for missionary work.


For a whole host of reasons, fans are worried about this.



While Jill Duggar’s return to Central America is part of her ongoing mission to serve God and the less fortunate, plenty of critics are wondering:


Is she putting her unborn child’s life in danger for it?!


Derick and Jill are already the parents of one child, Israel, who turns two in April, and his baby brother is scheduled to arrive this summer.


The Duggars’ propensity for procreating hard was a topic of concern for many fans throughout her time in Zika virus-stricken El Salvador.


Jill wasn’t even pregnant then, but the mere fact that she could be – the Duggars obviously don’t use birth control – made this an issue.


Now she is pregnant, though, and headed back.



The duo returned from El Salvador in August after a year, and earlier this year, we learned Jill and Derick are having a second son.


That made her decision a bit puzzling to many.


“We are planning to go back very soon,” Jill Duggar, who is due in July, said, adding that “we will come back for the birth of the baby.”


Quickly, many fans bashed the reality stars for putting their little boy and their future son in danger, however noble the couple’s intentions.


One follower asked: “What is wrong with Jill?”


“She nearly died in childbirth last time,” noted another. “I know that we are to trust the Lord but He gave us a brain with common sense.”


Valid points and questions, both.



Another fan asked: “What about the Zika virus? Why would they bother returning for just a couple of months, especially with Jill pregnant?”


The risk of Zika, lack of adequate prenatal care (especially with a high-risk VBAC delivery), and even flying in her third trimester are concerns.


“Why don’t they just wait another 6 months for the baby to be born and Jill to have time to recover after the delivery?” said yet another fan.


“Jill and Derick think about your children’s safety first!”


“And Derick is sick without a diagnosis… I feel he should get that under control before he returns to a country without good health care.”


Derick Dillard’s health problems are widely documented at this point, and could further complicate the situation if he’s not in top condition.



Last year, El Salvador advised women there not get pregnant until 2018 due to the mosquito-borne virus linked to brain damage in babies.


Health aside, their safety issues don’t end there.


“Every week, it seems like there would be different instances,” Jill recalled of the sometimes dangerous conditions they would encounter. 


Derick lamented the kidnapping, rape and murder in El Salvador that are just part of life there, which is sad on so many different levels.


Her sister Jessa Duggar added that the violence is no joke: “I know whenever we’ve been down there, we hear gunshots all the time.”


“It’s really intense down there, and I can’t imagine being home with a little one and hoping that your husband makes it back every night.”



What do you think? Are they making a mistake?


Sound off in the comments below and tell us what you think of Jill and Derick’s decision to return to Central America given their situation.

Adrienne Bailon and Israel Houghton: We"re Waiting Until Marriage! To Bone!

Adrienne Bailon is getting set to exchange more than just vows with Israel Houghton.


She is also getting set to exchange bodily fluids for the first time.


For the first time with Houghton, that is.



The former singer and current talk show host was recently asked by People Magazine about a bridal shower thrown in her honor, with the publication inquiring:


Were any dirty games played at the event?


“I cannot even say what the games were! Just kidding,” Bailon responded, added by way of explanation:


“They were kind of risqué. We are saving ourselves for marriage so [Jeannie Mai] let the games be a little more risqué leading up to things.”


Wait, what?


We think the lede was buried on that one.



The party was hosted by West Hollywood eatery Fig & Olive and it feature a Paris theme. The City of Love, right? Makes perfect sense.


But, hold on. Back up, please!


Bailon is not having sex with her fiancee until they are Husband and Wife?!?


The ex-Cheetah Girl didn’t elaborate on the reason why, but we’ll go ahead and make one up ourselves.


Might she still be burned by her most famous relationship?


Remember, Bailon didn’t just date Rob Kardashian for a number of years. She claims she was also cheated on by Rob Kardashian.


She said back in September that Kardashian is a “great guy,” but…


“I will say this, I think anybody who’s been in a relationship where they were cheated on or hurt, it affects you… It affected me so much that I made it a conscious decision to not do that to the next person.”


She added:


“He was 21 years old at the time. We were super young… This is old news. With that being said, being cheated on will make you question yourself.”



So, who knows, right?


Maybe Bailon felt burned and maybe now she decided to go in the opposite direction.


Maybe now she decided to just take sex out of the equation, so that she and Houghton could focus on other things, unrelated to one another’s body.


Or maybe each has found God and/or religion.


It’s unclear.


But this isn’t the first time a celebrity has waited until marriage before getting it on with his or her significant other.

Derick Dillard SLAMMED For Controversial Photo of Baby Israel

These days, it seems hardly a week goes by without the Duggar family being embroiled in some sort of controversy.


Often, the complaints from fans and detractors are legitimate (We won’t even bother to rehash the many ugly chapters of the Josh Duggar sex scandals.), but sometimes they’re classic cases of manufactured Internet outrage.



The latest kerfuffle – having to do with the above photo of baby Israel that was posted by Derick Dillard last night – seems to be somewhere in between, but leans closer to the latter category.


In anticipation of the Oklahoma State University football season (It’s still July, Der! Chill!) Dillard posted the above photo with a caption reading:


“Pistols firing! Only 45 days til some OSU cowboy football starts! Go Pokes!”


Fans saw two causes for complaint, both of which smacked of serious nit-picking.



For one, there was baby Izzy’s hand gesture and Derick’s caption, which some believed to be insensitive in the wake of recent gun violence.


Far be it for us to defend anyone in the Duggar clan (even if they happen to be a Dillard), but Pistol Pete has been the OSU mascot for decades, and it’s not like Derick put an actual gun in the kid’s hand.


The other complaint is almost as baffling, as several fans took issue with the placement of the straps on Israel’s car seat:


“Good god someone please adjust that child’s chest clip. That’s horrific,” wrote one follower, instigating a tense debate about the importance of car seat safety.


The whole thing was reminiscent of the time Jinger Duggar was criticized for failing to properly secure Josh and Anna’s 4-year-old son.


Thankfully, in both cases, someone pointed out that there was no indication that the car was actually in motion at the time the photo was taken.

Jill Duggar on Baby Israel: The Kid"s Got an Attitude!

Jill Duggar has long been viewed as one of the more quiet, serious-minded Duggar siblings.


She was the first Duggar daughter to get married and start a family, and she’s spent much of the past year performing missionary work in El Salvador with her husband and 1-year-old son, Israel.


Everything seems to be going exactly according to plan – but if anyone knows that life is full of unexpected challenges, it’s Jill.


The 24-year-old has had to make a lot of adjustments in recent months, what with becoming a mom, moving to a new country, and coping with the fallout from the Josh Duggar sex scandals, but we rarely hear her complain.


So perhaps it’s not surprising when Jill feels the need to issue the mildest gripe about her rapidly-changing life:


“He has started developing a little more of an attitude recently to try to tell us when he doesn’t like certain things,” Jill recently Us Weekly when asked about her son.


Then, as if trying to dial back her comments, she added, “For the most part, as long as he is entertained, he stays happy…He has a very sweet personality.”



If you’re thinking that it’s a bit early for Jill to be complaining about her son’s “attitude,” you’re absolutely right.


Israel just turned one earlier this month, and we don’t know how much time you’ve spent with infants, but they’re generally not the most even-keeled lot.


Don’t get us wrong, Jill seems to be enjoying motherhood, and we’re sure her love for her son runs deep, but it was a bit of an odd comment to make in a public forum, and Jill seemed to realize it, as she compensated by heaping on the praise:


“He has such a cute big smile with slight dimples (from Daddy!) and big baby teeth. He melts our hearts,” she told the tabloid.


“It’s hard to tell who he will be most like as a kid, but as far as a baby, I’d say he is a lot like both of us, since from what I hear we were both pretty good babies.”


Yes, yes…an entire family of good babies, that’s it. All is well in Duggar Land!


We can’t help but wonder if a change came over Jill’s face as she switched back into PR mode.

Jill Duggar Criticized For Sharing Photo of Bruised Baby Israel

Despite their best efforts, it seems there’s nothing the Duggar family can do to avoid controversy as one year gives way to the next.



Obviously, the Josh Duggar sex scandals are still fresh in the minds of many former fans, but lately Jill Duggar and her husband, Derick Dillard, have surprisingly been drawing almost as much criticism.


The latest dust-up concerns the above photo that was posted to the Duggar family’s official Facebook page last week.


As you can see, baby Israel David Dillard, a.k.a. Izzy, appears to be sporting a small bruise above his eye.


Duggar fans, obviously, are pouncing on the opportunity to point out what they see as further evidence of Jill and Derick’s negligent parenting. 


Obviously, kids bump and bruise themselves all the time, and this shouldn’t really be a big deal on its own.


With the response she’s been getting from her photos lately, though, you’d think Jill would know enough to just take a break from social media for a while. 


After all, it was just last month when Jill posted a photo of Israel in which he appeared to be sporting a different facial bruise. 


Followers attacked her both for the injury and for the fact that he was seated in front of non-baby-proofed electrical outlet.


Prior to that, Jill shared a photo that prompted curious, concerned fans to launch a series of bizarre conspiracy theories.


Regarding Derick Dillard’s changing appearance, Duggar Nation recoiled in horror and with a number of hypotheses.


One thing remains clear: Jill and Derick may want to put their phones down and focus on their missionary work for a bit.



Like we said, social media has not been Jill’s friend lately.


Really the only thing Jill can do now is step away from Instagram and Facebook until this trend of criticizing her every move dies down.


Is it fair? Not really, but we’re sure the Dillards are sick of the criticism, and rational discussion has no place in an Internet comment thread.


Trust us, Jill. Right now, someone is posting an all-caps, 1,000-word screed about this article without having read a single word of it. We feel your pain.

Jill Duggar Comes Under Fire For Photo of Baby Israel

It’s been a tough week for Jill Duggar on social media


Yesterday, a photo of her family that Jill posted to Instagram had fans wondering about Derick Dillard’s health. Today, an innocent photo of her son, Israel, has dozens castigating Jill as a negligent mother.



As you can see, the controversial photo shows Israel sitting on a blanket in front of a pile of Christmas presents – and an open electrical outlet.


Yes, the outlet in the pic isn’t baby-proofed with plastic plug-style covers, and many Duggar fans (and haters) have taken to calling Jill and Derick out on their IG pages.


Many have also wondered about the mark on Israel’s eye, which could be a bruise or simply a shadow. Jill and Derick have yet to offer an explanation.


Regardless of your feelings on whether or not little Israel is soon to zap himself into the Promised Land, the debate that’s currently raging on Derick’s IG page is highly entertaining:


“Look out for that electrical outlet, neglectful parents,” wrote one follower.


“People today want children to be bubble wrapped. It’s pathetic,” another countered.



We’d give more examples, but the comments on the photo feature plenty of language the Duggars wouldn’t approve of, because what’s the point of expressing your views if you’re not using all-caps and F-bombs aplenty?


The point is, some folks think Jill and Derick should be under investigation by CPS, while others continue to believe they can do no wrong. 


Watch Jill & Jessa: Counting On online to decide for yourself if Jill is the best or worst mother on the planet.


There’s probably some middle ground in the debate, but why keep a level head when you take an EXTREME stance?

Jill Duggar Shares Precious New Videos of Baby Israel

Jill Duggar has gone ahead and shown up sister Jessa Duggar.


In the most adorable of ways.



About a week after Jessa gave birth to her first child, Jill has shared two new videos of her precious little son, Israel.


In the first adorable piece of footage, which Jill posted on her family blog, her son is seen crawling on the floor, smiling and kicking his feet while he plays with a marker.


No matter what your opinion may be of this family, it cannot be denied: Israel is so gosh darn cute!


In the second video, the seven-month old attempts to climb up a chair, while his mother holds on to her little boy.



The videos come two days after a sentimental letter Jill wrote to her younger sister Jessa Duggar, following the latter welcoming son Spurgeon Elliot Seewald into the world on November 5.


“Derick, Israel and I are so excited for you and Benji!” the reality star wrote.


“I can’t believe you have a little one now! It was such a joy to get to be a part of the birth from Central America, thank you. You were a champ! I felt those contractions with you.


“I’m so excited to both be on this motherhood journey together!”


Jill and Derick are  on a long-term mission trip in Central America, where they’ve been since August.


But they’ll make their return to the small screen next month when TLC airs a three-part special tracking the lives of Jessa and Jill in the months since they were outed as child molestation victims of their brother, Josh Duggar.
