Is ‘Counting On’ Star Jinger Duggar Abused By Jeremy Vuolo? Inside The Shocking Rumors


After only one year of marriage, fans of the Duggar family fear that Jinger Duggar’s husband, Jeremy Vuolo may be physically abusive. These speculations surfaced after Vuolo posted a photo on Instagram of the pair sleeping on a plane. In the picture, it appears as if Duggar has a black eye and a fat lip. Could this snapshot indicate that Vuolo is abusive to his young wife?

Fans fear that Duggar would tolerate abusive behavior from husband because she grew up in such a conservative household. The Duggars are a highly patriarchal family, meaning that the husband has the final say and supreme power over the women and children. Christian Post reported that due to her background, Duggar might feel required to submit to her husband’s control, even when he takes his authority to a physical level.

Vuolo’s abuse could explain why Duggar decided to move away from her family’s Arkansas home with her husband. Living away from her family would make it easier for Vuolo to get away with abusive behavior and make it more difficult for the Duggars to catch on to what is happening.

None of these rumors have been confirmed. In fact, some find it difficult to believe that Vuolo would post this photo, displaying his wife’s injuries, if he were to blame. If Vuolo had beaten up his wife, would he post a picture on social media for the whole world to see?

Blasting News suggests that perhaps the apparent bruises were only smeared make-up. Despite the strongly conservative religious beliefs the Duggars hold, the girls in the family have always enjoyed wearing make-up. Smudged makeup could certainly give the appearance of a black eye and a busted lip.

A couple of days later, Duggar posted more photos to Instagram, and there was no longer evidence of an injury on her face. If the facial marks from the picture on the plane had been bruises, they probably would not have disappeared without a trace so quickly.

Fans are hopeful that these rumors are false and, Jinger Duggar and her new husband are enjoying married life and will continue to be the “rebel” couple of the Duggar family.

A new season of Counting On is rumored to premiere in 2018.
