After appearing in a promo video for the "19 Kids and Counting" spin-off, "Jill & Jessa: Counting On," Anna Duggar was reportedly forced to appear on the new reality show because of financial troubles.

Inquisitr recently reported that Josh Duggar's wife is having problems raising their four children financially since he checked himself in a rehab facility to treat his sex addiction problems.

In May, Josh confessed that he molested five young women, including four of his younger sisters, when he was still a teenager. Anna stood by her husband during that time, saying that he already apologized to his victims and confessed all his sins to God.

Then Anna became noticeably quiet when news broke out in August about Josh's secret Ashley Madison accounts as well as his trysts with several women. She dodged public attention after her husband admitted his mistakes but recently appeared in the promo teaser for "Jill & Jessa: Counting On" episode, airing on Dec. 13 on TLC.

Reports claimed that Anna reluctantly agreed to be part of the new series to earn money for supporting her young children. The 27-year-old mother of four is reportedly having a hard time with her finances now that her husband has to stay at the treatment facility for an unspecified period.

The Duggars are also facing another problem after Ashley Stamm-Northup, more popularly known as Danica Dillon in the adult film industry, sued Josh for $500,000 in damages due to the alleged physical assault that she endured when he paid her to be intimate with him.

Meanwhile, HollywoodLife reported that Anna wants to end her marriage to Josh but he still persuades her to forgive him.

A source exclusively shared with the website that Anna was deeply hurt when she found out about the infidelity, and she immediately went back to her family in Florida with her kids and contemplated filing for divorce.

Josh reportedly found out about it and reportedly immediately did everything to stop her. The source also mentioned Josh was persuading her to stay and have another baby and renew their wedding vows. However, Anna and the Duggars remain silent about the status of the couple's marriage at this point.
