JOSH Duggar has been slammed by Full Frontal host Samantha Bee, who hopes the disgraced TV star gets “40 years and counting” in prison.
Samantha, 52, put together a nearly seven-minute Instagram video lampooning the Duggar family.
The host opened with: “No family more exemplified traditional values than TLC’s the Duggars.
“The cartoonishly quirky Duggar family consistently brought in millions of viewers and their fame went even beyond TLC reality TV.
“They also appeared on actual shows on real networks.”
As she mentioned the “darker side of the Duggars,” a montage of news reports showed the aftermath of the Counting On alum’s trial
Josh, 34, was found guilty of possessing and receiving child pornography back in December 2020.
Samantha reacted: “What the actual f**k?” when the news reports accused the ex 19 Kids and Counting star had “molested several girls, including four of his sisters.”
She continued: “TLC didn’t officially part ways with the Duggars until last year, six years after we first learned about Josh Duggar’s abusive history.
“Duggar now faces up to 40 years in prison. Or hopefully 40 years and counting.”
The caption stated: “The Duggars used to represent wholesome family TV.
“Now, almost 20 years and a jail sentence later, it’s time we take a closer look at the Christian Patriarchy and Quiverfull movements that spawned the Duggars.”
Recently, Beverly Hills attorney Adam Michael Sacks exclusively told The Sun that he believed the father of seven might get the maximum sentence in the range.
Adam said: “The judge doesn’t have a lot of discretion because of the formula used for sentencing.
“If the judge feels like he’s worth saving, he’ll go towards the lower end of the range. If Josh has a bad attitude in court or if he is influenced by victim statements, he’ll aim for the higher range.”
The attorney continued: “For Josh, I believe he will get a higher sentence. Courts don’t want to deal with being accused of giving special treatment and just giving a slap on the wrist.
“The judge might say, ‘People looked up to you. You were on television. You should’ve been a better example for the people who watched you.”
According to the sentencing table viewed by The Sun, the son of Jim Bob, 56, and his wife, Michelle, could receive a minimum of six years in prison and a maximum of 14 years in prison depending on what exact range he falls into.
The attorney also confirmed that Josh’s two charges will run concurrently, which meant he will serve both sentences at the same time.
