Derick Dillard: TLC FORCES Josh Duggar's Victims to Appear on Counting On!

Last week, Derick Dillard revealed that divisions within the Duggar clan are deeper than fans had previously thought.

Over the weekend, he went nuclear in his ongoing war against the network that made his in-laws famous.

It remains unclear how Jim Bob Duggar and TLC will respond to this assault from Jill's husband.

But no matter what happens, you can rest assured that things will never be the same from this point forward.

And based on his latest remarks, it seems Derick is perfectly okay with that fact.

Take a look at the latest development in this increasingly bizarre feud:

It all started just after Christmas, when Derick candidly answered some fan questions about how he and Jill had spent their holidays.
3. Opting Out

To the surprise of many, Jill and Derick did not participate in the annual holiday festivities at the Duggar compound in Tontitown.

Derick confirmed their absence by revealing on Instagram that he, Jill, and the kids stayed home and broke bread with some "international friends," whatever that means.

Asked if Jill ever stops by her parents' crib, Derick vaguely responded that he and his wife are "not on 19 Kids and Counting anymore."
6. Nice Try

This, of course, is a total non-answer, as 19 Kids and Counting isn't even a show anymore. The Duggars currently star on a spinoff entitled Counting On.
7. No Argument Here
No Argument Here
Derick acknowledged this difference but claimed that it's a mere formality. He insists that Counting On is just a re-titled version of 19 Kids ... and he has a point.
8. Bad Blood

It makes sense, of course, that Derick would feel some antipathy toward the Counting On execs.
9. Rightfully Kicked to the Curb

After all, it's been over two years since he was fired from the show for making bigoted comments on social media.
10. Reason To Be Hopeful?
Reason To Be Hopeful?
But some fans think it's high time Derick was given a second chance. After all, Jill recently reappeared on the show in the episode in which Jessa Duggar gave birth to daughter Ivy.

And let's not forget that there was a time when Jim Bob and Michelle's involvement in Counting On was described by the network as "limited." These days, they're the stars of the show.
12. Fair Point
Fair Point
“JB and Michelle [Duggar] have worked their way back on, so Jill and [her] fam should be able to also," one fan wrote on Derick's page this week.
13. The Mad Ranter

"Yes, [JB and Michelle did] because it’s their show," Derick replied. "We’ve only made guest appearances over the years for [a] wedding, birth, etc. We’ve never had any contact with TLC, hence not knowing there was a contract. Nobody from TLC has even mentioned to us what they would prefer that we say or not say."
14. Dropping Hints

“There are just more things we are aware of now. The truth will always set you free," Derick replied at the time, suggesting that he would soon reveal more on the topic.
15. About Time
About Time
Now, Derick is finally ready to speak his truth. And he's addressing a matter that the Duggars have been carefully avoiding for the better part of a decade.
16. A Future Without Josh
A Future Without Josh
As you probably recall, 19 Kids was canceled as a result of the Josh Duggar sex scandals. It later returned with a different title and one less cast member. Josh was fired from the show and has not appeared on camera since.
17. Shady Tactics?
Shady Tactics?
Derick explained that when the show returned, several family members -- including Josh's victims -- were made to feel that they had no choice but to participate.
18. A Very Serious Accusation
A Very Serious Accusation
“We were pressured to think that we were required to and that we would get sued if we didn’t,” Derick claimed. “It’s not going to look good for TLC when it’s exposed that they pressured an abuse victim to continue filming when we tried to quit, just so they could continue with Jill and Jessa: Counting On after 19 [Kids and Counting.]“
19. A Shocking Scandal
A Shocking Scandal
Jill Dillard, of course, was one of the four Duggar sisters who was molested by Josh while she was still a child.
20. Nefarious Practices
Nefarious Practices
The spinoff was originally titled Jill & Jessa: Counting On, and Derick is now suggesting that that was a tactic used by TLC in order to assure Josh's most high-profile victims that they would be in charge of the show.
