Strange Things About The Duggar Daughters' Marriages

Despite Jeremy's arrest, and Austin's family ties, Jill's husband, Derick Dillard, still takes the title of the most controversial Duggar son-in-law.

The goofy, somewhat geeky Arkansas native was once widely loved by Counting On fans. He wooed Jill in a long-distance courtship all the way from Nepal, where he was doing missionary work. All of that unconditional fan love seemed to cool off, however, when Derick posted a number of hot-button comments to his Twitter page.

First, Derick took aim at Jazz Jennings, a 17-year-old transgender girl whose life was profiled on TLC's I Am Jazz. He accused Jazz's parents and TLC of taking advantage of her and refused to call her by her preferred pronoun. "Transgender' is a myth," Derick said. "Gender is not fluid; it's ordained by God."

After his statements, TLC announced it would no longer work with Derick, and Derick, in turn, announced that no one in his family would be appearing on TLC, including Jill. 

The family losing out on its reality TV show didn't quiet Derick. After a fatal school shooting in Parkland, Fla. left 17 dead, he was widely criticized for arguing that the media was using outspoken teen shooting survivors to "push liberal agendas."
