Josh Duggar Complains No One -- Including Dad Jim Bob -- 'Really Cares At All' About Him Behind Bars In Email

Josh Duggar Complains No One — Including Dad Jim Bob — 'Really Cares at All' About Him Behind Bars In Email

[Warning: Potentially Triggering Content]

Oh boo-hoo, Josh Duggar

While behind bars for his absolutely atrocious crimes, the disgraced Duggar brother is wallowing in his woes. In a newly surfaced email obtained by Radar Online on Thursday, Josh maintained he’s innocent of the child sexual abuse material possession he was convicted of, and whined to his wife Anna about how lonely he is.

In one snippet, Josh wrote on June 1, 2022, that he doesn’t believe his dad Jim Bob Duggar or “many others” care about him:

“i see now how no one else (pops and many others) really cares at all (if much) about me, to the point they don’t even believe in me and i think some really think i am some monster as portrayed by the government. they are buying into what they want to believe, the lies they want so they can write me off. it is heartbreaking, and it is a shame!”

Really? Seriously? Are we thinking of the same Jim Bob? The man that has gone out of his way to defend and protect Josh, even when his own daughters alleged he molested them right under his nose? Eff off!

He continued in the email:

“i wish i hadnt listened to their/his advice over yours, because you do really care and love me — they DON’T! i see it now, and i see how it is. i put way too much faith in pops opinions, now where is he? not standing by me, he is off attacking me to others and he won’t simply humble himself and see his role in all this. the controlling and manipulation, i could have just stood up to it, and i should have.”

In a continued snippet, the 38-year-old, who was arrested in April 2021, apologized to his wife, and touched on his faith:

“i am sorry for not listening to YOU! i love you and i trust you. you make good decisions and you have the best advice. before i leave this topic, i don’t think that every suggestion you made i didn’t listen, and i think we made some great decisions — together! – and i see now how those things were sooo much better than all the problems we have from the ones made not listening to you! i hope that can be home again and we can make good decisions again – together! i am praying, praying and praying constantly! LORD, continue to fight for us and give wisdom to anna. me and attorneys!”

Well, the “good decisions” would’ve been not possessing CSAM and not becoming a convicted sex offender. But it’s too little, too late for that, huh?

In another email, the date of which it was sent unclear, Josh complained that none of his family members — besides his brother Jed — have been checking in with his wife:

“Anna said (that) only one of the family members who have reached out to her to say anything since the sentencing. … A simple ‘we love you’ would be nice!”

Wow. Just wow. Audacity!

If he thought nobody cared about him then, we bet it’s even worse now that his family has to split attention with his other disgraced brother Joseph!
