Dillard says the 'public was deceived' by the Duggar family after Josh's molestation scandal (via toofab)
When another follower said they thought TLC and the Duggar family had handled the molestation scandal"very well," Derick also hit back."How do you know how it was handled? It was not handled well," he wrote."The public was deceived. Their plan worked. And we were told to keep filming and keep our mouths shut. We called their bluff and left."
That same fan pushed back too, saying it was Derick and Jill's decision to leave and they should let the others who decided to stay on the show"be." Again, Dillard responded, saying:"How do you know they're not trying to leave? They didn't know what we knew when we knew it. As I've said before, we were told to not talk to the others about what we learned. And based on our history, I don't know what scare tactics are used on the others to keep them compliant.
"We pushed back for a long time & pretended like there was nothing wrong on the outside before we finally got to the place where we quit. Everyone has their own context, including timeline, incentives, fears/threats, information, etc. that they must operate within," he continued."So it will play out and look different as each individual behaves & responds differently within their unique context.
When another follower said it seemed like"TLC cares more about revenue than welfare, even when children are concerned," Dillard replied saying,"It would appear so." He went on to like tweets reading,"[TLC] need to cut all ties today. Like this minute" and another showing Josh's arrest report reading,"The Duggars need to be removed from @tlc now. RIGHT NOW! This is beyond disgusting."
