Josh Duggar wants to join sisters' suit against Arkansas city, county

FAYETTEVILLE — Lawyers for reality TV personality Josh Duggar say he faced “unwarranted public scrutiny” after his sisters were revealed to have told police they’d been molested by him.

Duggar’s lawyers made the comment in a complaint in which he’s seeking to join his sisters’ breach-of-privacy lawsuit. They’re suing the city of Springdale and Washington County and publishers of InTouch Weekly, which first revealed their identities.

The siblings were among the “19 Kids and Counting” on the TLC reality show that chronicled the personal life of Arkansas parents Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar. The show was pulled from the network after reports surfaced in 2015 that Josh Duggar had molested sisters Jill Duggar Dillard, Jessa Duggar Seewald, Jinger Duggar Vuolo and Joy Duggar.

The siblings allege investigators promised them confidentiality after a tipster reported the molestation.

I imagine that they became accustomed to the positive cash flow while their show was on TV.

He admittedly sexually assaulted at least 5 girls, 4 of them his sisters and one as young as five and he's suing because a police investigation of his crimes legally obtained many years later through a Freedom of Information request was released. Causing him to lose his job as "Family Values" champ at that well known hate group Family Research Council.

A job he would have lost a few months later anyway when the Ashley Madison hacking revealed he had multiple accounts with them, and after which he admitted he had been cheating on his wife, mother of his many children.

Give me millions! I'm a totally hypocritical adulterer and serial child molester, but I should have been able to do these things in peace, for heaven's sake. And continue to pull in a large salary while working hard to eliminate rights for women and gays as an awesome and Godly Christian man!

This is way beyond grifting. It's just incredible.

And this freak family still has a TV show.
