Kendra Duggar Accused of Being “Brainwashed” as She Backs In-Laws Amid Abuse Scandal

Kendra Duggar is reportedly still firmly with her husband’s family, even after her husband was arrested for lewd and lascivious behavior towards a minor. Mind you, this is a man and woman who share four young children together.

At present, Joseph has pled not guilty to all four counts of child molestation, and is already lawyering up for the upcoming court battle.

Kendra Duggar’s Parents React To Her and Her Husband’s Arrests

Shortly after Joseph, 31, was arrested, Kendra was also arrested and taken into custody. She was released shortly after being charged with four counts of child endangerment and false imprisonment. Kendra was released after posting a $1,470 bond, while Joseph, on his part, posted a $600,000 bond to be released.

After nearly a month of silence, Kendra Duggar’s parents, Paul and Christina Caldwell, finally spoke up in a statement released on Instagram.

“Our family is both troubled and heartbroken over the alleged actions committed by our son-in-law,” the statement said in part. “We are devastated for the young girl, a child who was courageous in every way to share her truth. We stand by her, both in support and prayer, and forever will.”

“We also recognize how traumatic this incident has been for our grandchildren as well and continue to pray for their strength. Our love for them, and our daughter Kendra, remains,” the Caldwells added.

Despite the Caldwells’ message of support for their daughter, Kendra is reportedly playing for the Duggars.

“I don’t know if it’s fear or naivete, but Kendra has totally sided with the Duggars and not her family,” a source spilled in a chat with Us Weekly on Monday, Apr. 20. “She is brainwashed.”

Per the insider, the Duggars are treating the Caldwells’ in a most deplorable manner.

They revealed that “not many people are there to help” Kendra’s immediate family, including the Caldwells, with the Duggars refusing to step “up at all.”

“I can’t believe how [the Duggars] have treated [the Caldwells],” the source said. “They want them out. They had the lights and electricity cut off from the house they are in. It’s awful. They are trying to get out.”

The Caldwells are currently running a GoFundMe aimed at raising funds for housing.
