Josh Duggar news: '19 Kids and Counting' alum said to be shopping around for a new reality show

(Facebook / Josh & Anna Duggar)Josh Duggar with wife Anna are working their marriage out.

The Duggars are back in the news again, with the family's social media posts and reports that Josh Duggar is set to star in a new reality show raising a lot of eyebrows.

After stirring a little controversy several weeks ago when Jim Bob and Michelle posted Josh's favorite Bible verse on their family's Facebook page, the Duggars are once again courting the public's scorn over news that Josh and his parents will be starring in a new reality show.

According to reports, the "19 Kids and Counting" alum has taken to sprucing up his image in a bid to convince other networks to give him his own reality show. The way things are, TLC is unlikely to put Josh back on air, even though the network decided to give his sisters another shot. It's been speculated that Josh and his family believe some networks might be interested in a series that would showcase how the former lobbyist is moving on and redeeming himself after admitting to molesting his sisters and being caught on the infamous Ashley Madison infidelity site.

Josh and his family might be pulling out all the stops as they try to clean up his public image, but some are saying that this is all for show and that even his wife Anna is still wary about her husband falling back into his old ways.

Viewers were shocked when Anna decided to forgive Josh and stay married to him, despite the scandals he brought to the family. The couple even recently released a statement about how they're working with "a professional marriage and family counselor to take important steps toward healing." However, some sources are saying that the young mother has also placed some rules that Josh should follow. Apparently, the disgraced reality star is no longer allowed to have a smartphone as it might tempt him back to his cheating ways. Josh can only use an old phone that doesn't allow for texts or pictures to be sent.
