Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar came off as a pure-hearted religious family when they made their debut on TLC with 19 Kids and Counting and Counting On. But the last few years have led to various controversies in their family. That’s when viewers realized that the fundamentalist family is rather toxic. They were in the limelight again after Amazon Prime’s documentary about their evil practices in the name of religious teachings. Well, there has been yet another incident in the family after Jim Bob Duggar’s uncle passed away. So, what is it all about?

Jim Bob Duggar’s atrocious acts have raised many eyebrows. Well, he has another incident now to add to that list. As per the reports by blogger Without A Crystal Ball, his uncle Tommy is no more in this world. The Arkansas police turned up at this property to inform the family of the passing on June 25 at 8:30 am. Following this, Jim Bob Duggar proceeded to make funeral arrangements for the same. But the shocking part is that he has a sister, Deanna Duggar, and he didn’t find it necessary to inform her of the same.

The ex-TLC star’s sister found out about her uncle’s passing online. Deanna then informed the blogger that her brother, i.e., Jim Bob, didn’t inform her of the same. Soon, a discussion began on the internet. Viewers began to slam the infamous patriarch again for his insensitivity. It turns out that Jim Bob Duggar informed no one, let alone his sister. Many Counting On fans found this act to be quite fishy. They also wondered why Deanna Duggar’s husband wasn’t the one making the funeral arrangements.

Counting On: More About Jim Bob & Deanna Duggar’s Estranged Bond!

In the last few years, Jim Bob and his sister Deanna’s bond has only deteriorated. It all began when the former’s firstborn, Josh Duggar, was found guilty of possessing child porn. After a lengthy trial, the court found him guilty, and now he is serving his 12-year prison sentence. That’s when Deanna opened up about this matter and started cutting ties with the rest of the Duggars. She is the mother of Amy Duggar, who was also one of the victims when Josh Duggar molested his sisters when he was 13.

Hence, Deanna and Amy Duggar have been very public about their estrangement from the rest of the Duggars. The latter also starred in the Shiny Happy People docu-series to expose the family and their cult-like practices further. So, Counting On fans believe Jim Bob refused to involve his sister in his uncle’s funeral owing to these happenings, which must have soured their already rotten relationship even more. In any case, fans were upset and complained about how Jim Bob had stopped even lower in their eyes. How do you feel about this? Let us know your thoughts via comments.
