Josh Duggar: Axed From Jinger"s Wedding with TLC Camera Tricks

When fans who watch Counting On online saw Jinger Duggar marry Jeremy Vuolo, they did not see persona non grata Josh Duggar.

That was by design, and for obvious reasons. But now we now know just how hard TLC tried to keep his polarizing mug off camera.

It"s not clear if there"s an official policy or not, but producers have decided that Josh cannot be featured on the Duggar family show.

He is, however, still part of a family in which weddings happen at a breakneck pace, meaning TLC must get creative to hide the child molester.

And creative they were, walking this fine line remarkably.

In the photos below, you can see how editors angled sun glare to block Josh as he stood behind Jinger Duggar as she exited the church.

The producers also appear to have shot Jinger and Jeremy"s departure multiple times, perhaps to further nix scenes that Josh sneaked in.

Inside the church, he was concealed by ducking down, holding a child in front of his face, or by positioning him behind other humans.

It"s rather extensive and hilarious. Check out the photos.

1. What a Sunny Day!

Right in that one location, where Josh Duggar happened to be standing, the glare from the late day sun was crazy! Who would’ve guessed!

2. A Break in the Glare

When Josh moved behind that post, the sun glare that had been obscuring his face mysteriously vanished as well. What timing.

3. Oh, He Moved, Reflect that Sun Back on Him!

Seriously. These producers, lighting technicians and camera guys are good.

4. The Future’s So Bright …

… but only literally for Josh Duggar, who can’t even be shown on his family’s reality show, but probably wants to wear shades anyway so he doesn’t go blind.

5. Strategic Placement

That’s Josh … or Josh’s son on the very far left. Nicely positioned to escape viewers undetected.

6. Down in Front!

Josh hid himself from this scene during Jinger’s wedding simply by ducking down in the pews.

Josh & Anna Duggar: Did They Decide to Divorce at Jinger"s Wedding?

It’s been weeks since we’ve had any update on the once-persistent Josh and Anna Duggar divorce rumors, but that doesn’t mean the troubled couple has managed to patch things up.

Back in early February, Josh and Anna responded to the rumors through a family spokesperson, who released a statement assuring fans that reports of their marriage coming to an and were “absolutely not true.”

Since issuing that denial, the couple has remained silent on the subject, despite the fact that a number of new rumors have emerged that all seem to point to an impending breakup.

The first round of reports claimed Josh and Anna were separating as a result of a damaging new lawsuit that – according to The Daily Mail magazine – threatened to reveal the couple’s “filthiest secrets.”

Considering some of the secrets we’ve already heard about Josh, outmatching them in terms of filthiness would be no mean feat.

Now, a new report from the Inquisitr suggests that Josh and Anna decided to part ways on the weekend that Jinger Duggar got married to Jeremy Vuolo.

There’s no word on what might have sparked the decision, but the wedding was one of the last times that Josh and Anna were spotted together in public.

Did Josh behave inappropriately?

Did the feeling that she was being judged by hundreds of guests lead Anna to the conclusion that it was time to cut her perverted husband loose?

The first possibility seems unlikely, as Josh successfully concealed his first round of affairs and flirtations for several years.

But there may be something to that second explanation, as Anna has admitted to struggling with how she’s perceived by family and friends since welcoming Josh back into her life.

Whatever the case, a family insider recently told Perez Hilton that 

“Anna hasn’t told Josh she wants a divorce, but a friend of hers put her in touch with a lawyer and Anna has spoken to the lawyer on the phone,” a source close to the Duggar family said, according to Perez Hilton.

The source adds that Anna is nervous about proceeding, as divorce is strictly forbidden in the Duggars’ religious community:

“She’s been putting off meeting them for some time because she was terrified of being spotted at their office, but she is now finally ready to make the move and will be visiting the attorney in the next week or so.”

Josh was the first of his siblings to get married, and now it sounds like he might be the first to endure an ugly, high-profile divorce.

Couldn’t happen to a more deserving guy!

Jessa Duggar Opens Up on "Mixed Emotions" Over Jinger"s Wedding

It’s been an eventful year in the lives of the Duggars – but we guess in a family of 21, every year is eventful.

2016 concluded with Jinger Duggar getting married, and despite the fact that there have been two births, a health scare, and about a dozen mini-scandals in the months since, Counting On producers are still painstakingly rehashing every detail of Jinger’s wedding.

Even though the focus on Jinger’s nuptials appears to have contributed to a plunge in Counting On’s ratings, it seems the show won’t be changing course any time soon.

Watch Counting On Season 2 Episode 19 Online

On last night’s episode, we finally got to see Jinger’s wedding in its entirety, and the feeling on social media was that fans found the whole thing a bit anti-climactic.

(It’s hard to blame them, considering just about every detail of the ceremony was revealed several months ago when it took place.)

However, while the episode didn’t offer much in the way of surprises, there were still some touching moments, such as when Jessa Duggar paid tribute to her newlywed younger sister: 

Jessa began by revealing that she was “probably not the best influence” growing up (It’s anyone’s guess as to what constitutes mischief in the Duggar compound. Failure to properly memorize a psalm?), and says later in life it was Jinger who influenced her:

“But once you started to get a little bit older you encouraged me to do the right thing,” Jessa said.

“Even though you’re younger than me,” she added, “I’ve always thought of you as one of my greatest role models.”

While most of the tears were the result of profound joy, Jessa admitted to struggling with mixed emotions as a result of her sister’s plans to relocate from Arkansas to Laredo, Texas.

“I think it’s starting to sink in more and more how much we’re going to miss Jinger when she moves away,” the teary-eyed mother of two remarked at one point.

“I don’t think we fully calculated all the ramifications of how it was going to play out that you were going take her 12 hours away from us.”

For as much as she anticipated becoming a Vuolo, Jinger seemed to struggle with the reality of leaving home for the first time as well.

“Give us a couple months, and then come visit us,” Jinger told her sister, as she began to tear up herself.

Sounds like some difficult times lie ahead for the Duggars.

But on the bright side, at leas fans can finally look forward to a new storyline!

Duggar Family: Ready to Film Jinger"s Wedding?!

For obvious reasons, the Duggar family’s second TLC reality series has been surrounded by controversy.

The Duggars’ first show, 19 Kids and Counting, was canceled in response to the Josh Duggar sex scandals, and many former fans were justifiably outraged that the network was so quick to give the disgraced family a second shot.

Declining ratings and bailing advertisers have led to talk of Counting On getting canceled, but for now at least, it looks like the network that made the family famous is still all-in on the Duggars.

Insiders say the Duggars are currently filming Counting On Season 3, and as predicted, it will reportedly feature an entire episode devoted to the Jinger Duggar and Jeremy Vuolo wedding.

In fact, it will likely feature several episodes that revolve around the upcoming nuptials.

As fans of the show know, producers basically got an entire season out of Jinger and Jeremy’s courtship and engagement.

The proposal itself was teased for several weeks, and viewers got to see Jeremy pop the question only after a bizarre bait-and-switch clip show.

So you can bet the folks behind Counting On are planning to get a lot of mileage out of Jinger and Jeremy’s wedding, as well.

A leaked production schedule led to rumors that Jinger and Jeremy would get married over the weekend.

That didn’t happen, but the family was spotted filming scenes at the Oklahoma State University homecoming parade.

The show generally takes place chronologically, so we suppose it’s not surprising that the Jinger and Jeremy wedding isn’t taking place right away.

It stands to reason that producers would want to film a few episodes about the build-up to the wedding, because as so many irritated fans pointed out over the course of Season 2, they really don’t have much else to go on in terms of storylines.

Sure there’s Jessa Duggars second pregnancy, but Duggar births are like Trump scandals:

It feels like there’s one every week.

The importance of Jinger’s relationship has led to some interesting accusations, as some fans believe Jinger and Jeremy are getting married for the ratings.

We doubt that’s true, but the quickness with which they’ve rushed through the courtship process does seem to indicate they had some additional incentives.

Of course, given the fact that Duggar kids are prohibited from having any sort of premarital sexual contact, they might not need any additional incentive.

Jill Duggar: My Wedding Anniversary Was Overshadowed By Jinger"s Courtship!

If you’re a Duggar fan, you’ve no doubt heard by now that Jinger Duggar is courting Jeremy Vuolo, a professional soccer player whom she was introduced to by her older sister Jessa.

It’s exciting news for the entire Duggar clan, and not only because it means there’s a good chance that Jinger will be headed for the altar in the very near future.

Earlier today, it was reported that Jinger’s courtship may have saved the family business, as TLC reportedly renewed Jill & Jessa: Counting On shortly after network execs learned 

Good news for all 19 kids, as the many consider the reality series to be the family’s last chance at continued relevance.

Unfortunately, in a family with soooooooo many kids, attention is often spread thin, and it seems one Duggar sibling might be felling slighted as a result of all the hubbub surrounding Jinger’s new relationship.

It was two years ago Tuesday that Jessa Duggar married Derick Dillard in a massive ceremony in the family’s hometown of Tontitown, Arkansas.

Now, for the second year in a row the Dillards anniversary has been overshadowed by bigger news in Duggarland.

Last year, news of the Josh Duggar sex scandals went public just a few weeks before Jill and Derick’s one-year.

Now, Jinger has stolen their thunder by announcing her big news one day before the Dillards second anniversary.

We know this familu talks a big game about humility and all, but it’s hard to imagine that Jill is feeling even slightly peeved.

After all, Jinger and Jeremy have reportedly been courting for several weeks, and they could’ve made it public any time.

Then again, if the relationship is gonna help save Jill and Derick’s careers as reality stars, we’re sure it’s all good in the Duggar hood.

Watch Jill & Jessa: Counting On online to get caught up in time for Season 2.
