Josh Duggar Analyzed By Dr. Phil As New Dark Secrets Emerge: What Anna Knew Before Marrying Into Duggar Family [Video]


Josh Duggar is getting analyzed by Dr. Phil McGraw. And while the TV psychologist hasn’t exactly put Josh on his famous couch and interviewed him, as he did other semi-celebrities, Dr. Phil feels that he’s learned enough about Duggar to provide some intriguing insights, reported the Wrap.

“I just don’t believe that the full truth has come out yet,” said Dr. Phil during an appearance on The View talk show.

The TV psychologist reflected on what’s known of Josh’s dark past. That includes Duggar’s confession that when he was a teenager, he molested girls, including some of his sisters. More recently, the infidelity website, Ashley Madison, hacking revelations included the discovery that Josh had been unfaithful to his wife, Anna.

And Dr. Phil predicted that there’s more to come.

“You know what I’m really concerned about with regard to that… We have not seen the bottom of that yet. My dad used to say that for every rat you see, there’s 50 you don’t.”

For Josh’s wife, Anna, and the Duggar family, the fallout has been intense, but McGraw urges that an attempt is made to reveal the entire truth.

“To assume that everything you see is everything there is, would really be naive,” insisted Dr. Phil. “I just don’t believe that the whole truth has come out yet.”

But did Anna know the truth before she married Josh? That’s the question many are asking, and an insider has revealed that prior to their marriage she only was aware of part of Duggar’s dark past, reported People.

When Josh and Anna first encountered each other, it was in 2006 at a Christian conference. Both the Duggars and Anna’s family have the same fundamentalist Christian faith, and thus, parents on both sides were happy to see the two court.

But as for that police report that detailed the facts in Josh’s molestation of five underage girls, an insider has revealed that not all information was known even by Anna.

“We all knew that something had happened, but it definitely wasn’t portrayed in its entirety,” said the source. “Anna did know, but it was kind of something that was swept under the rug, and nobody made a big deal out of it.”

As for Anna’s parents, they knew as much as their daughter did, according to the insider.

Anna’s Parents Knew — And Agreed To The Marriage

“They still gave their blessing… there was always something a bit odd about Josh,” added the source.

But Josh’s most recent confessions about a pornography addiction and cheating has hurt his entire family, said an insider close to the 19 Kids And Counting clan.

“It’s hurting everyone involved,” declared that source. “Everyone feels betrayed.”

Josh’s confession about pornography was one of the new dark secrets that shocked the entire family.

As the Inquisitr reported, the Duggar matriarch and patriarch Michelle and Jim Bob were described as stunned when they found out.

“This wasn’t something they ever imagined was possible,” said a source. “They so strictly limit their exposure to these sorts of outside influences – from websites to even the sort of television they watch, if they turn on the TV at all – that they were absolutely baffled by how this could have been possible.”

Josh’s original statement on the family website, which was subsequently edited, revealed the details.

“I have been the biggest hypocrite ever. While espousing faith and family values, I have secretly over the last several years been viewing pornography on the internet and this became a secret addiction and I became unfaithful to my wife.”

Duggar Family Rules Preclude Even Kissing Before Marriage

Duggar was raised according to strict guidelines regarding sexuality. That meant he could not even kiss Anna prior to their wedding day. Thus, Josh’s admission that he had become addicted to pornography contradicted all those family rules and religious beliefs.

But an insider says even cheating and pornography addictions won’t cancel out Anna’s belief that she should stay in her marriage.

“She is fully and permanently committed to her marriage and her children,” declared that source. “Divorce is not even something that will be discussed.”
