The couple were reportedly still deeply affected by the actions of their son and they were distancing themselves from the situation quite actively for some time. They were among the family members who didn’t want to stay in the media spotlight during the scandal, instead opting to preserve their privacy as much as possible.
On the other hand, not all family members acted the same way – some seemed to enjoy having the spotlight shining on them due to the scandal, even if it was in a severely negative light.
There were even some attempts by family members to draw additional attention on the scandal, and there was a lot of discussion about the way people were acting during the incident and how the whole family had some issues to deal with.
Lately, the situation has been dying down, but not before it caused significant damage to both the immediate as well as the extended family of Josh Duggar. In the long run, we don’t doubt that everyone will be able to get through the issues and overcome the negativity, but for now, all family members must be careful and avoid drawing even more negative attention to the whole situation as much as they can manage to. Which, as we’ve seen recently, might not be a straightforward concept for some of them.
