'19 Kids and Counting': Jessa Duggar says 'Do Not Be Overcome by Evil' in response to scandal
Jessa Duggar and Ben Seewald tied the knot last November 1 but not long after the wedding, a scandal came out about the newlyweds. It is a known fact that Jessa and Ben decided to have their first kiss private and in closed doors. However, a blogger wrote that Jessa and Ben did more than that.
The blog was named "My Life As A Stay At Home Wife and Mother!" and the blogger's name is Ashleigh. Mary B. is a Christian blogger and through her blog post, it looked like she was invited to the Seewald wedding. The blog post was titled "Weddings and Such."
In Ashleigh's blog post, she didn't mention anything about Jessa and Ben consummating, but she did say that everyone was shocked when the minister said that the couple decided to do the first kiss in private. The blog post also said that even Michelle and Jim Bob were shocked and Jim Bob wanted TLC to edit out that part. He wants to make it appear that they knew about it.
One of the commenters named Mary B. made a shocking allegation about Jessa and Ben. She said that the girls walked in on Jessa and Ben doing the deed. Ashleigh, the blog owner, affirms that she has no ill intentions about writing the blog. However, what Mary B. and other commenters had to say is outside of her control. She told Radar Online, "I will not confirm or deny because it is not my business what married couples do."
Now that the scandal is full-blown, Jessa is forced to make a reaction or comment about it. With a Christian family like the Duggars, such a scandal cannot be left ignored.
The Duggars deny the allegations, while Jessa posted her response to the scandal on her Instagram account. She posted a photo that said "Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written. Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord... Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."
People have given very different opinions about this scandal. Some say that even if Jessa and Ben did consummate, it's fine because they are already married. Some say that they could've waited for the night to be over.
