Josh Duggar: Photo of Kids Sparks Surprising Controversy
In the weeks to come Josh Duggar and his wife Anna will welcome their fifth child.
The happy news has been tainted by controversy, of course, thanks to the highly-publicized Josh Duggar sex scandals that continue to provoke shock and outrage, two years after coming to light.
But the latest controversy, while pertaining to Josh’s children, has nothing to do with the sex crimes that nearly brought down his family’s reality TV empire.
In photos posted to Facebook over the weekend, Josh and Anna’s sons, Marcus and Michael, are seen engaging in some brotherly bonding.
A caption presumably written by Michelle Duggar explains:
“Marcus has been learning to ride his bike and sweet Michael was so happy to help! Way to go, Marcus!”
Doesn’t seem like the sort of thing that anyone could get outraged over, but fans are up in arms over the pics for a surprisng reason.
As you can see, Michael is not wearing a helmet in the photos.
While such safety precautions are certainly a good idea, especially for children who are just learning to ride, in the case of the Duggar, such oversights provoke not gentle admonishments, but seething vitriol:
“Seriously?? No helmets?! Yes it’s cute that big brother is helping but let’s teach safety and avoid serious injuries let alone something worse,” wrote one fan.
“I can tell you a helmet saved my life so get those kids helmets!” echoed another commenter.
Of course, the Duggars have almost as many cultishly loyal fans as they have critics.
As a result, there were those who came to the family’s defense, as well:
“What did we all do BEFORE the paranoid ‘helicopter parents/ started imposing the safety helmets, elbow/knee pads, mouthpieces, and goggles?” commented one such follower, adding:
“EXACTLY what these two happy adorable little boys are doing in the pics…We had a BLAST while learning how to ride our bicycle!!! …and we survived it.”
Of course, helmet’s aren’t really what’s at issue here.
Anything Josh-related is sure to provoke some sort of argument in the comments section, a reality to which the Duggars will simply have to grow accustomed.

Love & Hip Hop Atlanta Reunion Recap: All Will Be Revealed?
Last night on the Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta reunion, did the truth finally come out regarding the baby growing inside Jasmine Washington?
On a related note, did Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta Season 6 Episode 18 mark the turning point for the embattled Rasheeda and Kirk Frost?
When the episode got underway, everyone aside from Joseline made their way to the stage. Joseline previously blasted the show, fueling rumors that she was on the outs with producers.
Nina asked Tommie about her legal drama with Joseline was part of the reason Joseline was not there, but Tommie was very coy on the matter.
Tommie says “No, because I didn’t do anything wrong.”
“Tommie I know you can’t be in front of Joseline physically, but what would you say to her if you could?” said Nina.
“I would want to know why she wants me off the street?” Tommy replies.
Nina wanted to know if Stevie was in the loop about where Tommie was staying. Despite his attempt to deny it, he was left embarrassed when Tommie claimed that he exposed himself to her.
Yes, it’s all class with the Atlanta crew … not.
Nina then wanted to know that truth about how Tommie felt about Treasure during the big blowout at the spa.
“I thought she was going to apologize and she didn’t,” Tommie fired back in her defense, but it did not seem like anyone was actually buying what she was selling.
Treasure went off on a rampage because she felt like everyone took Tommie’s side, so Nina tried to say they only wanted her to get her side across.
“I just don’t like her. Tommie came at me sideways, and I had to check her.”
Um, alright then.
Nina then addressed the fact that Jessica Dime and Lovely Mimi were going at it during filming, yet seemed to be friendly on the stage.
“You were at Joseline’s video shoot, and you seemed to have a problem with Mimi then, but today you guys seem ok. What’s the deal?”
Jessica says “I don’t have a problem with anybody until this girl came out of her mouth funny at me.”
If you watch Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta online, you will know that Jessica had a string of feuds throughout the season, so it was a given that Nina would want to find out about all of them.
Then, Karlie opened up about her ditching Ceasar because, well, Tommie wanted him. Tommie then threatened her, but it was diffused quickly.
Something tells us if Tommie is genuinely out of the show, ratings are going to crash. She’s glued to all of the plots.
After that, we moved on to Kirk’s baby drama, and he claimed that he boned Jasmine one time and used protection. Rasheeda was having none of it and said that nothing added up about his story.
Rasheeda broke down on stage when she tried to speak her mind.
“This breaks my heart. Not only did you hurt me, but you broke me. You have children. Your children look at you like a super hero. You didn’t think about our family.”
Kirk replies, “I love Rasheeda, and I just got myself into a mess and don’t know how to get myself out. I never meant to hurt her or my family.”
Apparently, Rasheeda got to keep all of the drama starters out of the reunion and had the best reasons for it.
“They don’t deserve to be here. She didn’t want to talk to me about the situation. She went to production with the situation, and they don’t deserve to be here.”
When Kirk was quizzed about taking a DNA test, he said, “I am not taking a test in front of cameras and letting them use a baby to allow three people to get a come up.”
Okay, so it seems like Kirk could very well be the father.
The episode concluded with Stevie and Joseline bickering backstage. Yes, she appeared.
What do you think of all the developments?
