Anna Duggar’s Well Wishes on ‘Counting On’ Ignites Backlash

Counting On alum Anna Duggar has returned to social media after a lengthy hiatus. The 36-year-old had largely stayed offline following her husband Josh Duggar’s arrest in April 2021. Fans had hoped Anna would see the seriousness of her husband’s actions, but her recent online activity suggests her focus is elsewhere.

Anna has refrained from sharing updates about her family, particularly her seven children with Josh. Nonetheless, she makes occasional appearances at Keller family events, including her grandfather’s funeral last November, where attendees noted how much her children had grown. At these gatherings, she often appears to be in good spirits, smiling for the cameras.

Interestingly, Anna has stayed absent from any vlogs produced by the Duggar family. This absence has led to speculations that she remains estranged from some family members, particularly those who supported Josh’s punishment. It has been reported that Anna still views Josh as innocent and remains upset with family members who think otherwise.

Her return to social media, however, was not as warmly received as she might have hoped. Anna recently reposted a tweet from Elon Musk, in which he endorsed former President Donald Trump for the upcoming presidential elections. The tweet mentioned an incident where Trump was shot at a rally in Pennsylvania, resulting in injuries and the death of the attendee.

This post sparked a wave of backlash on Reddit. Commenters pointed out Anna’s quickness to share Musk’s posts while remaining silent about her own family. Some speculated that Anna might have a personal admiration for Musk, with one Redditor sarcastically suggesting that they both share a “breeding fetish,” referring to the large number of children both have.

Comments ranged from criticizing her for her admiration of Musk to questions about her continued support for her “pedophile husband.” The criticism was sharp and varied, with some calling her “disgusting” and others defending her by noting that “at least she has a husband.”

The question of whether Anna will leave Josh continues to be a topic of speculation among fans. Some find it telling that she did not visit Josh on his birthday last March. Others argue that divorce is unlikely due to their religious beliefs.

Josh Duggar is currently serving a 12.5-year prison sentence, with his latest appeal recently rejected, making it highly unlikely that his conviction will be overturned. This has not deterred Anna, who appears to remain supportive of him despite the severity of his crimes.
