Josh Duggar's Ashley Madison scandal has created a lot of turbulence for the family. Amidst the reports, the reality star's sisters, Jill Dillard and Jessa Seewald, have broken their silence for the first time weeks after their brother admitted into his porn addiction that led to cheating to his wife, Anna.
In the Duggar's website, which Jill and her husband Derek Dillard set up to share news about their Central American missionary work, the 24-year-old sister of Josh addressed the scandal involving her brother. Jill began by saying that their family is going through a rough time with Josh's Ashley Madison account confirmation, Daily Mail reports.
"August has been a busy month for us and as so many of you know it has ended on a sad note for my extended family,' Jill wrote. 'Please do pray for our family. We are so thankful for God's grace during difficult days.'
On the other hand, Jessa who's married to Ben Seewald and currently expecting their first child addressed the issue concerning her brother in her Facebook page. Jessa posted a sermon of Pastor John Piper "The Passions That Prevent Adultery," in video. She also wrote a biblical message alongside the three-minute video, E! News reports.
Jessa's father-in-law, Michael Seewald attacked the former "19 Kids and Counting" star in a blog "Grief, Shame, And Taking The Lord's Name in Vain. The Duggars sisters have opened up in TLC's one-hour documentary on child sexual abuse "Breaking the Silence" on their brother's child molestation and scandal. It premieres on Sunday night, Entertainment Online reports.
"I feel like this should be a discussion that people are having, even regularly," Jess said.
"It was amazing to understand that there are so many people that deal with the exact same thing in their own families, so just being educated in very good," Jill claims.
Their interview comes on the heels when Josh's Ashley Madison account was revealed. Jill and Jessa are among the five girls whom Josh molested during his teenage years. A family babysitter is also one of the victims.
