Where Is Josh Duggar? '19 Kids And Counting’ Star ‘Missing’ From Christian Rehab, Source Says
Former “19 Kids and Counting” star Josh Duggar went into a Christian rehab after he was exposed for cheating on wife Anna in the Ashley Madison hack, but now his whereabouts might be unknown, Radar Online reported Tuesday. Duggar reportedly entered the Reformers Unanimous treatment center, in Rockford, Illinois, which his parents publicly have supported, to treat his admitted porn addiction, but the eldest Duggar sibling has not shown up to church services and meetings mandated by the program.
Duggar, 27, reportedly skipped services Sunday. “Josh definitely wasn’t there,” an anonymous source said. “It was very strange.” The self-described hypocrite also did not attend a Bible studies meeting at North Love Baptist Church, which is linked with Reformers Unanimous, Radar Online said.
It’s unclear whether Duggar entered treatment at Reformers Unanimous, because his family did not say where he enrolled, but at Reformers Unanimous attending services is a key part of treatment, the facility's website states.
The disgraced father of four, who was previously involved in a sex scandal for fondling his younger sisters, entered rehab Aug. 25. “Yesterday Josh checked himself into a long-term treatment center,” his mother, Michelle, wrote on the family blog. “For him it will be a long journey toward wholeness and recovery. We pray that in this he comes to complete repentance and sincere change.”
One of Duggar’s sisters, Jessa Seewald, shared a sermon about adultery on her Facebook page Monday. Seewald, 22, did not add her own opinion but shared a brief summary of the 3-minute, 40-second sermon given by the Rev. John Piper on his Desiring God website. “When the Bible calls us to live like Christ, it doesn’t merely give us a set of commands,” part of the description said. “It presents us with something compelling and captivating that changes our minds, and then our hearts.”
The Duggars have not commented about the former TLC reality star allegedly missing mandatory services and sessions.
