The post Jill & Jessa Duggar Describe Devastating ‘Stress’ From Josh Molestation Scandal In Newly Released Legal Docs appeared first on Perez Hilton.
In recent weeks, present and former Duggar fans have been looking upon once-overlooked moments in the family history in a new light.
From seeing the way that the Duggar daughters’ upbringing impacted them for life to foreboding scenes with the Duggar parents, there’s a lot to digest.
One of the latest points of interest is an old clip of Jill Duggar with her husband, Derick Dillard.
Fans find Derick’s rant off-putting, and think that Jill was weirded out … but what they’re seeing may just be the result of a lifetime of conditioning.
In this throwback clip, which is under discussion by social media users, Jill and Derick were at a restaurant.
For whatever reason, Derick decided to wax philosophical about what it means to be married.
“Marriage is like lifelong learning,” he announced, comparing the relationship to scholastic pursuits.
Already married and already parents, Derick continued the analogy.
“So right now I have my high school diploma in Jill Dillard,” he characterized.
“But I want to study you more,” Derick continued, “and get my Bachelor’s and Master’s.”
“Eventually I’d like a PhD in Jill Dillard,” Derick went on.
“So,” he continued, “I can think what you’re thinking before you even think it.”
That’s a goofy analogy, and the last line could be a little off-putting even if it was well-intentioned.
What really struck people who are revisiting the clip is Jill’s demeanor during it.
Jill seems to smile awkwardly while Derick is speaking.
Some fans think that she may have been as uncomfortable listening to her husband speak as they were.
Discussions took place in Reddit comments as people mused over Jill’s thoughts at the time.
One wrote: “I can just hear Jill internal dialogue, ‘Okay smile and pretend he’s being sweet and amusing even though he’s making zero sense.'”
“I’m not sure I want my husband to think what I’m thinking before I think it,” another commented. “Seems like that could be a major problem.”
It is certainly possible that Jill, despite not having any work experience due to the cult’s beliefs, was doing the wifely version of a “customer service face.”
Countless cashiers and waiters have had to stand and smile and listen while customers spout absolute nonsense at them.
We don’t mean toxic customers yelling — well, not only that. Sometimes a person will stop by a deli counter and spend 20 minutes talking about being guided by angels.
As we said, Jill has not had those exact experiences.
From birth, she was groomed to be a wife and a mother and a Christian, nothing more.
But hearing someone ramble nonsense in your face may be a universal experience. Even — perhaps especially — for cultists.
One cannot help but wonder if the apparent discomfort that viewers are perceiving is due to projection, however.
Jill’s expression could be explained by the cult’s teachings, demanding that women radiantly smile at and adore their husbands in visible ways at all times.
Instead of simply listening to Derick, Jill may have felt that she had to overact herself paying rapt attention to his every word. She may have missed the mark a little, though.

Very recently, Derick Dillard and Jill Duggar sold their home, leaving behind the house that they bought in 2019.
Though the timing aligns closely with Josh’s sentencing hearing, the reason for the move more mundane — it’s for Derick’s new job.
Now, Derick has been sworn in as an attorney, and the Dillards have their new home.
Jill is showing off the upgrades that they have made to their new house.
“Today was a great day!” Derick wrote on Instagram last week.
“I was sworn in as a licensed attorney in the state of Arkansas,” he announced.
Derick gave a special shout-out to “my lovely bride, @jillmdillard who has been there for me through it all. I am eternally grateful.”
This week, Jill gave her fans and followers a virtual tour of their home, including some upgrades.
Obviously, it was part of some sort of deal that likely got her a discount for the work done on the home.
While some of these before-and-after photos look like a sad, monochromatic downgrade to our eyes, presumably it was what Jill and Derick wanted.
“We are so excited to show y’all a sneak peek of our new house!!” Jill wrote.
“We knew we wanted to make a few changes to the new place to update it + add some personal touches,” she explained.
“So,” Jill continued, “we scouted around and found someone to help us!”
It is of course a relief to hear that a pregnant Jill was not repainting or replacing cabinets in a new house or breathing in paint fumes.
Instead, they found a company “to turn our kitchen (+ a couple bedrooms) into a dream!!”
Of course, Jill gave the company and its employees rave reviews after they helped move a fridge, matched paint colors to trim, and painted an extra wall.
It is a little heartbreaking to see the vibrantly painted walls — one a breathtaking cobalt, another a bold aubergine — turned the private residence equivalent of “landlord white.”
Similarly, the countertops look newer but not necessarily better. A fine installation, but a less bold choice and with less character than the cabinetry that it replaced.
But, as we said, this must have been what Jill and Derick wanted. It’s their house, after all.
As for more details, the new family home is 2,450 square feet and located in Siloam Springs, Arkansas.
The house has four bedrooms and three bathrooms, which is pretty much exactly what you want if you’re about to welcome a third child.
Despite its decent size, they purchased the home for $385,000 — a testament to how varied the real estate market can be by location.
Derick’s new job is at the Adair County Clerk’s office. That’s a good stepping stone for a potentially lengthy law career.
Technically, that is located on the Arkansas-Oklahoma state line, but his commute will “only” be about 40 minutes — shaving off a cool half hour from his current distance.
Meanwhile, they will still be 45 minutes away from Jim Bob and Michelle, unfortunately.
When Josh Duggar was convicted on child pornography charges back in December of 2021, he was immediately cuffed and taken to a county jailhouse in Fayetteville, Arkansas, where he has remained ever since.
For safety reasons, the disgraced former re…
