The Duggar family has been in the headlines again following the arrests of Joseph and Kendra Duggar. Michelle Duggar, the mother of 19 children, had a heated encounter with a paparazzi, sparking speculation that she was also arrested. However, the truth is that she was not.
The video of the incident, which was recorded and released on social media, shows Michelle Duggar angrily talking to the paparazzi, who was seated in a car. She could be heard yelling at the paparazzi, saying "I’m protecting children, what are you doing?" The paparazzi asked if she would be willing to do an interview, to which Michelle responded, "You may not. You cannot be here!"
The argument escalated as Michelle tried to remove the paparazzi, claiming it was private property. It is unclear where exactly the video was recorded. The incident occurred while Michelle was at the jail in Arkansas to pay her daughter Kendra's bond and secure her release.
Kendra was booked along with Joseph on four counts of child endangerment in Arkansas. Joseph was arrested for molesting a 9-year-old girl in Florida in 2022. The girl, now 14, testified to the police, which led to Joseph's arrest. He admitted to the charges in a phone call with the victim's father.
Amy Duggar King, the cousin of Joseph Duggar, released a statement saying that the world changed after the arrests and that she would not treat the charges as small. She added that her prayers shift to the children.
