Josh Duggar Gets Bashed On Twitter After Sharing Pic Of Newborn Daughter Meredith Grace
Josh Duggar and his wife, Anna welcomed their fourth child into the world this weekend. The star of the recently canceled TLC show, 19 Kids and Counting, shared a photo of the couple’s beautiful new daughter, Meredith Grace, with his Twitter fans — one that shows him beaming with pride.
Although the reaction from many 19 Kids fans was positive, there were a number of mean tweets from those who continue bashing the reality star over the sexual molestation scandal that surfaced a few months ago.

@joshduggar @Anna_Duggar A new girl for Josh to molest. Put your night visions on Anna. How can any woman lie next to a man like that?

It’s been a tough few months for Josh Duggar since reports surfaced that he sexually molested four of his sisters and the family’s babysitter when he was a teenager. During the latter part of Anna’s pregnancy, the excitement was dulled by not only Josh’s issues, but a several other Duggar family scandals.
@VilleneuveLisa @SecretAZ12 @joshduggar @Anna_Duggar it’s disgusting. Who lets their children near a sexual predator? Who has sex w/that?

The couple announced that they were expecting baby number four back in December, months before the scandal made headlines. Just days before Anna delivered their 7 lbs., 14 oz. daughter, TLC announced that it would be permanently canceling the family’s reality show, 19 Kids and Counting, based on the sexual molestation allegations brought against Josh.
Although the family tried to keep the positive news coming, it was clear that the situation was taking its toll — Josh posted less on social media and there were rumors that his family had him under suicide watch.
@joshduggar Thoughts and prayers with you that you manage not to molest her.
