Following the premiere of the Duggars' latest television series, "Jill & Jessa: Counting On" season 1, disgraced family member Josh Duggar is reportedly planning to return under the spotlight. The reason? It's all because of money!
Josh Duggar and his conservative family have been under fire ever since the molestation, porn addiction and infidelity scandals broke out. And while he had sought treatment in a faith-based center, the 28-year-old "19 Kids and Counting" star has recently reunited with his family in Arkansas.
After exiting the rehab, Josh Duggar is now planning to tell his own version of the story. However, he would only do it if the price is right, Inquisitr revealed.
"He's considering going on a public speaking circuit," a source told Life & Style (via Hollywood Life). "He has to make money and this could be very lucrative for him. It's likely Josh will travel the world to talk at Christian fundamentalist events this year."
The insider also hinted the possibility that Josh Duggar would make an appearance in his sister's show, "Jill & Jessa: Counting On." The source further claimed that Josh's appearance will surely boost the show's ratings.
"Everyone is certain Josh will be making an appearance on 'Counting On,' he'll bring the show even more viewers," the insider added.
As Josh Duggar becomes eager to return on television so he can start earning his fortune, he is reportedly avoiding the "public's wrath." As a matter of fact, he won't leave his home even for a couples' therapy.
Fortunately, Josh and his wife Anna have found a therapist who's willing to meet them in their home. According to an insider, the couple is optimistic that the therapy will save their failing marriage.
"Josh and Anna are working on their relationship and are having the help of a couples' therapist," an insider told Hollywood Life. "[They] more than spiritual guidance if they have a shot at keeping their marriage together."
Meanwhile, a Duggar family relative has broken his silence about Josh's return from rehab. Duggar cousin Amy's husband Dillon King revealed that it would be hard for the family to trust Josh again.
"It's not ever going to be the same," Dillon explained, as per In Touch Weekly. "It's not ever going to be what it was."
And while the Duggars have publicly announced their support to Josh, a source close to the family confessed that not everyone in his family are happy for his return. In fact, some in the extended family feared to bring their children near Josh.
"There are people in the extended family who definitely won't bring their children near Josh," a Duggar family member confessed. "Who would want their kids around him after all he's done?"
So, what do you think will happen to Josh Duggar now? Do you think he is really desperate for money?
