Josh Duggar has received the support of his parents and his wife following his admission to molesting underage girls when he was a teen.
But not everyone is so willing to forgive and forget.

Talk show host Montel Williams took to Twitter when he heard the news to vent his frustration and disgust with the reality star.
BREAKING: Josh Duggar, a world class bigot, admits sexually abusing young girls – has consistently stated that LGBT folks r danger to kids

Gosh, yet another anti-gay alleged “Christian” defender turns out to be a garden variety scumbag. https://t.co/C4gWWE0YnA

Sorry, Josh Duggar is a bigot, slimebag. Whole family is, and FRC is a scam. Yup, Gay people are the danger to kids? NOPE, JOSH DUGGAR IS

The TV personality’s choice words about the 19 Kids and Counting star seemed to generate some interests from journalists regarding interviews, but Montel quickly shut that down:
Reporters: I have no interest in going on TV to talk about Duggar. I did what I did because it was right thing to do. Not about publicity.
— Montel Williams (@Montel_Williams) May 22, 2015
If you haven’t had me on to talk about #FreeAmirNow why on earth would u think I’d talk to you about Duggar? ├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥ Montel Williams (@Montel_Williams) May 22, 2015
But Montel wants to make it very clear that he’s not reacting to Josh’s admission just for the sake of reacting to the acts.
Instead, his motivation was actually to call out the fact that the oldest Duggar child claims that the LGBT community is dangerous for kids, in light of his confession about his own lude acts.
But he couldn’t explain everything he wanted in 140 characters at a time, so he also utilized Facebook to explain everything he thinks and feels about the issue, writing:
“Those of you on Twitter know where I stand on 19 Kids and Counting star Josh Duggar. Josh chose his path – he chose to work for a bigot – Tony Perkins and his organization. He chose to make bigoted comments about├óΓé¼┬¬#├óΓé¼┼╜lgbt├óΓé¼┬¼ individuals being dangers to kids – he chose to do ALL OF THOSE THINGS while hiding the fact his father had essentially covered up Josh having, by his own admission, molested his sisters as a teenager. So yes, that renders him a bigot, and yes, it is appropriate to call him a hypocrite, and yes, a scumbag. Turns out the “danger” to kids is Duggar himself.
Thing is this tends to happen with those who are extreme in their anti-gay bigotry – they all end up learning why it’s a bad idea to throw stones from a glass house.
That he did this while preaching about Christian values makes me wonder if he has read the Gospel. If he did, he has a reading comprehension problem.”
What do U think about Montel’s reaction? Was it too harsh or right on the money? SOUND OFF in the comments!
