Even the Duggar family was not able to escape an April Fools prank. A publication recently mocked the religious traditions of the celebrity family as newly pronounced couple Joseph Duggar and Kendra Caldwell are allegedly expecting a baby. Fans who were not able to finish the whole article were fast to judge the young couple while those who found out that it was for April Fools expressed their disgust over the joke.
April Fools took the fans of Duggar family in a craze when The Hollywood Reporter wrote a long exposé on Joseph Duggar and Kendra Caldwell's sin. Joseph allegedly took to their family blog site to confess about his grave sin where he supposedly wrote: "I have sinned...I mean, I have really sinned like crazy, y'all." The publication even added: "There were nights that Kendra and I sinned like four or five times in just a couple hours."
Just with these opening statements of Joseph Duggar in his supposed confession, fans might have already felt like the 22-year-old lad purposely had a premarital activity to disrespect his family's rules. As TLC viewers already know, the Duggar family rose to fame for their religious standards, practices, and rules which had gained them 19 kids. However, the testimony of the Duggars was somehow stained when the eldest son, Josh, admitted to multiple child molestation and cheating scandals.
Josh Duggar's infamy was even mocked on the report where his brother Joseph allegedly compared fornication to the former's acts. Joseph Duggar supposedly wrote that he thinks it is not at all as bad as what his older brother did. Then at the end of the report, it was noted that the news was for April Fools.
The fans of the TLC stars though seemed to be more angry than happy about the joke. A lot of fans condemned the prank on Joseph Duggar and Kendra Caldwell. Most commented that the Duggar family will not have laughed off the report as sin is not tolerated in their household. Some of their followers were actually worried about another bad rumor ruining the family as fans know very well how the Duggars suffered from Josh's mistakes which even caused them their reality series "19 Kids and Counting."
Joseph and Kendra announced their courtship earlier last month after two more Duggar children were rumored to be in a relationship with the Caldwell siblings. The two did not reveal when their romance exactly was begun but fans are expecting that they will follow the footsteps of the other Duggar children who took their courtship into engagement and marriage. The two are reportedly in an honest relationship and are not planning to break any of the courtship rules of the Duggar family.
