The popular Duggar family from the TLC reality series, 19 Kids and Counting, has returned to the headlines, albeit for all the wrong reasons. Joseph Duggar, one of the 19 Duggar siblings, was recently arrested in Florida under lewd and lascivious charges involving a minor. On Wednesday, March 18, 2026, Joseph was arrested in Bay County, Florida, on charges of inappropriate sexual advances towards a minor during a 2020 family vacation, when the victim was allegedly only nine years old.
The news of Joseph’s arrest has spread like wildfire and has put the spotlight on his personal life, especially his wife, Kendra Renee Caldwell, and their four children, who have largely lived in the public eye for Joseph’s reality TV days. Joseph and Kendra’s joint Instagram account has a huge following of over 551K, and after his recent charges, fans are rallying in support of Kendra, warning her to cut ties with the family and move away with her kids.
