Duggar Family News: Duggar Sisters File Case Against Publication that Ruined '19 Kids and Counting'
The Duggar sisters have filed a case against the publication that supposedly ended their short-lived fame on TLC's reality series "19 Kids and Counting."
Reports say the Duggar sisters, Jill, Jessa, Jinger, and Joy-Anna, have filed a lawsuit against Bauer Media, as well as its associate companies. But they did not stop there. The siblings also filed a case against Springdale, Arkansas, and Washington County. They have also filed lawsuits against former Springdale Police Chief Kathy O'Kelley, Washington County Sheriff's Major Rick Hoyt, and Springdale City Attorney Ernest Cate.
The publication's revelation on their identities in their feature on the scandalous behavior of their then teenage brother Josh Duggar has reportedly displeased the sisters. They argue that since the issue happened while they were in their teens, the news outlet should have refrained from disclosing their identities. To add, the publication's portrayal of them as victims did not sit well with the sisters.

On a different note, Joy-Anna Duggar has reportedly been wed to her fiancé of two months, Austin Forsyth. As previously reported, the pair was expected to tie the knot in October, but recent Duggar activity has led many to believe that ceremony has been held in secret.
