Duggar Family News: Josh Duggar excluded on Jinger's wedding television special; Eldest son's scandal hinders Joy-Anna courtship?

Duggar family's eldest son, Josh Duggar, is close to impossible from making his way again to the reality television limelight. Just recently, it has been reported that his younger sister, Jinger Duggar, decided not to include him on his recent wedding television special.

It can be recalled that Jinger married long-time boyfriend, Jeremy Vuolo, last month and on the event, the young couple's close family and friends were there, including Josh. A lot of fans thought that he was not in the ceremony but it has been reported that he was actually there, just making sure that the camera does not capture his face.

According to a report from Raw Story, it was Jinger and the whole family's intention not to include Josh in the wedding special. Fans have been speculating that it was also the TLC network's decision to exclude his appearance to avoid any controversies that could only boil down to his molestation scandal a year ago.

Daily Mail had reported that Josh was seated on the opposite side of the pew where the family was positioned. When it was time for Jinger to walk down the aisle, Josh can be seen holding his son Marcus in front of him, using him as a shield to avoid the camera. It was also reported that the camera was immediately cut away when anyone was walking by him.

Meanwhile, the eldest Duggar son's scandal last year could also take a toll on the young Joy-Anna Duggar's courtship, as per Inquisitr. It can be recalled that the 19-year old had announced during the second season finale of Counting On, that she has been courting longtime family friend, 22-year old Austin Forsyth, who was also her date at Jinger's wedding.

The source reported that even though Forsyth's family had welcomed Joy-Anna gracefully, her brother's molestation scandal could ruin their relationship before it even starts.

On August this year, it has been reported by People that 20-year old Josiah Duggar and Marjorie Jackson have ended their courtship two months after the published police reports about Josh's scandal have appeared. Fans feared that Joy-Anna could suffer the same fate as Josiah.
