Deanna Duggar Urges Niece to Divorce Joseph After Arrests

On March 31st, Diana Dugger, sister to family patriarch Jim Bob, is telling her niece-in-law Kendra to divorce Joseph Dugger after their recent arrests.

Both got hit with four counts each of second-degree child endangerment and false imprisonment back on March 20th.

Joseph faces extra charges for lute acts on a nine-year-old girl, and he could get life in prison if convicted.

They tied the knot in 2017 and have four young kids together.

This mess echoes the family's past drama, like Josh Dugger serving over 12 years for child porn, which tank their reality shows.

Diana, long-the-stranged over extreme religious views, says Kendra deserves a fresh start and should just split.

She's heartbroken, calling Joseph once loving and kind, but now prays for victims first, urging the whole clan to repent and drop there.

Us, versus world vibe, she's been in shock for days, baffled how this hit again, and hopes he gets real rehab.

Meanwhile, Jim Bob and Michelle finally spoke out Monday, saying they're crushed, but zeroed in on supporting Kendra and the kids during the storm.

As the legal wheels turn and everyone waits on outcomes, prayers are flying for justice, healing, and whatever comes next for this tangled family.
