It seems that the dust has started to settle around the Duggar family, as it has almost been four months since the bombshell dropped that Josh Duggar had cheated on his wife, Anna, with a porn star. Yet, now that the family is back on TLC after their series 19 Kids and Counting was cancelled this past May, it looks like all the drama is about to be rehashed. With Jim Bob and Michelle's daughter's new special, Jill & Jessa: Counting On recently debuting, their fellow siblings have all started to weigh in on the scandal.

According to Radar Online, the family was reportedly in shock following the reveal that Josh had an addition to adult videos, and that he had cheated on his wife.

"Josh ended up confessing to us that he had gotten addicted to pornography and that he had been unfaithful to his wife," Jill revealed in the premiere episode of the three-part special, as reported by International Business TImes. "We were devastated. It seemed like it was a bad dream. How could this happen?"

Jill's younger sister Jinger, also weighed in on the family tragedy, saying, she was in disbelief when Josh's wife took her aside to tell her the news.

"I just remember she sat us down in the room...Our brother had been living a double life and he wasn't who he appeared to be," the former 19 Kids star revealed through tears. "It was things we had no clue about. 'What no, thats not true, that's not our brother! It has to be wrong!'"

Yet, it appears that 17-year-old John David had one of the most intense reactions to the news, telling his brother Josh that he was no longer viewed him as a role model, according to PEOPLE.

"It's a big weight upon me now. I know that hey, I've got a whole bunch of younger siblings looking up to me, and I've got to be an example to them. Because whatever I am, that's what they want to be," he told the cameras. "That's what it was for me and Josh. I wanted to be like him. One of the hardest things I had to tell my older brother was, 'I don't want to be like you anymore.'"
