Same. I used to follow them, and was into the family and their lifestyle.
After the scandal I stopped watching.

Same here! Didn't know someone else like me out there, but I sort of faded out past 2 years.
Saw this week on YouTube that Jana got married and was really happy for her!

Wow can't believe there's others here who follow them! I just follow the snark sub on Reddit mostly lol. They always manage to find things before it's official - like Jana's wedding. So happy for her! It actually looked surprisingly classy compared to the other weddings - nice gown, venue, real food etc.

(I guess I mostly snark follow them. There's a ton about their upbringing and the Fundie religion that's pretty harmful and extremely different than how we raise our families. But it is interesting to see other large families).

Jana's marriage hits close to home for me because we are the exact same age 34.5 and I'm divorced.

I noticed she got a good quality man (same quality as her sisters got) and he was 3 years younger than her. I'm really happy she didn't settle for some much older weirdo. Hope I can be as lucky!

I've been wallowing in my senseless jealousy all morning.

Senseless because Jana's bashert is Christian, he obviously wasn't meant for me.

But it's TuBAv and I'm alone and miserable. Someone give me mosar and shake me out of this

I used to follow them like crazy! Wasn't it rumored that she was dating him years and years ago?

I do. It's a guilty pleasure at this point. My main source of info is a Youtuber who is a rabid antisemite and pro-Palestine lady so there went that! Duggarsnark reddit replaced her.

For dummies like me, what is it that you follow?
The only thing I knew is they had a huge family, Christians (?), and there was some scandal between siblings...

What am I missing??

I think that a brother molested some siblings. I don't follow them, just remember seeing on news sites.

The oldest son olested a few of his sisters and a baby sitter when he was a teenager. Then tabloids caught him on a cheating website a few years ago. And now recently he was convicted of downloading child p-o-rn.

He molested his sister when he was a teen. He had child P-rn on his computer aswell.
Horrible person.
I used to watch the show in the beginning and really liked them. Then I heard about the mother being abusive, she puts her babies on a blanket and toys around it. When they reach for the toys she hits their hands. Its sick
But they do this for "character development ". Also shes a terrible mother in general. I highly doubt any of the kids ever felt loved and cared for. They were just a number.
