The 33-year-old reality star-turned-convicted sex offender’s spawns were spotted in a family video that Jana Duggar shared on her Instagram from the holidays.
Fans quickly pointed out Josh and Anna’s oldest daughter Mackynzie and their youngest, Madyson, at the camera. They also recognized Meredith Duggar, 6-year-old; some thought Meredith was her cousin Bella.
Although Anna was not caught on tape, she would most definitely not leave her 7 children on Christmas with her husband — especially since she isn’t allowed to make conjugal visits.
Josh’s children looked happy and healthy as they opened their presents without their dad. They were so focused on unwrapping their presents that they didn’t seem to notice him.
Jana was careful to show the family’s holiday, and even paired the footage with Daniela André’s Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas. The lyric is particularly striking: “From now our troubles will be miles apart.”
His family seemed to have a happy Christmas, but Josh’s was a sad one. Duggar is currently being held in isolation at the Washington County Detention Center, Arkansas.
Reports claim that he was “left out jail’s Christmas celebrations” and stayed in one cell throughout the day.
Josh was served all the prison food including turkey and gravy and candied carrots. He also had mashed potatoes and a roll with butter. For dessert, he had a spice cake.
Josh, despite being an ex-TLC celebrity, didn’t receive the special treatment. An insider said to The Sun that people in isolation don’t get to eat together. They are served in isolation, but get the same food as everyone else.
Radar reported that Josh was found guilty of one count each of receiving and possessing content depicting child sexual abuse on December 9.
He could spend up to 40 years behind bars. His sentence will be delivered next year.
