After a hiatus from reality TV, siblings Jill and Jessa Duggar are returning in a three-part TLC special titled "Jill and Jessa: Counting On," which will feature a look into the girls' lives after the cancellation of the Duggars' hit reality show "19 Kids and Counting." And while fans are excited about the specials, a new report claims that some members of the Duggar family aren't so thrilled with the sisters' return to television.
According to an Entertainment Tonight source, some of the Duggars feel "certain members of the family are more focused on ratings and a paycheck than actually focusing on the issues at hand." The issue in particular pertains to Josh's scandals, which prompted the cancellation of the family's show.
Back in May, it was revealed that Josh molested five young girls when he was a young teenager, and his victims include Jill and Jessa. In August, the father of four admitted to cheating on his wife, Anna, as he was revealed to have an Ashley Madison account.
The insider said that another point of contention within the family is the decision to put Anna on camera "at a time like this." Last month, TLC released a teaser clip for the specials, and Anna was seen in the trailer looking forlorn as she said, "It was heartbreaking to hear what had happened," referring to Josh's cheating scandal.
Jill and Jessa also talked about their brother's scandals, as Jill said in the trailer that she first thought of Anna when she learned about Josh's cheating.
As the special's premiere is only a few days away, the source said that "family members are disagreeing with a lot of what they are doing" and that some of the Duggars have opted out of the special.
"[Some members of the Duggar family have] chosen not to participate in the special out of respect to the serious ordeal the family has been going through in the last months," the insider said to ET.
