The former '19 Kids and Counting' star opens up about her husband's recent scandal.
Anna Duggar is using her sister-in-laws' new TLC reality show to open up about how she's dealing with her husband Josh Duggar's infidelity scandal.
The mother-of-four appears on the upcoming series, Jill and Jessa: Counting On, and recounts for the first time what went through her mind when she learned Josh had been unfaithful in their marriage. "It's like, I'm going to wake up and everything's going to be OK," the 27-year-old says. "This can't be true."
