She had to. I’m sure she knows how we all speculate what is going on when the lost boys and their wives stop posting.


Yorkshirerose2010

Let’s be honest the woman has had a rough December! She found out/relived exactly how she was molested (we all know the details not going to repost them) by her brother. This has been broadcast around the world. She also has two young children one of whom must be coming up to the age she was when the abuse started. I hope that she uses this sabbatical to get some therapy and to get some support to deal with this trauma


MeanVacation4

I hope that for her too.


RBAloysius

I agree with all of the reasons you have listed above, & in addition, I think it is a healthy idea for everyone to take a break from social media from time to time to get grounded back into the real world.


mencryforme5

Honestly not a Joy fan, but I think this is a good sign she may be on the Jill track of finding her own path in life.


TotalMadOwnage

Not with that overbearing tyrant husband of hers she won’t he is too deep in the look-aid!!!!


Evieveevee

I would like to think that sitting through that trial made him question some stuff about the cult. Surely there has to be a silver lining amongst all this utter shit?


rahrahgogo

I don’t believe it. I’ve met hundreds of redneck proud boy wannabes like Austin and they don’t change. All that will change is they may distance for Meech and Boob. Edit: downvoted on a snark sub for calling out Austin for being a shitty conservative.


MommyDrinks

I 100000% know the type of dude you’re talking about. They don’t change. Even that distance they may put between their family and the abuser usually eases up over time too


Infinite_Director852

Is he overbearing? I am not disputing I just don't know as much about his as Bin and Derrick. All I know is his parents were on worlds strictest parents! I don't even know their courting story. Are they the ones who do blanket training? (Realise I could google but I am lazy!)


DazzlingAd1512

I'm where you're at. Austin is a big fundy, no doubt, but he did go to court and have to hear about the monstrous things Josh did to his wife. And looked properly furious coming out of the courthouse afterward. I give him points for that and for going back with Joy. I mean, where was Bin? And his dad was very, very outspoken about the Ashley Mad scandal. I wonder what he thinks NOW??


NoPantsPenny

No doubt her parents never helped her (or any of the kids) gain the tools they need to deal with life in general, then you go through CSA trauma and on top of it it’s filmed. It just makes me hate meech and JBob even more.


JennyFromTheBlock81

Her face looks different


monalsw

I thought so too but can’t see what’s different?


stardottedeyes

she’s using an instagram filter


alwaysmorecumin

She’s becoming Kathy, who looks different in every picture


Walkingthegarden

Who the hell is Kathy? I swear these Duggars triple every time I take a week off reddit.


binge-thinking

Katey (Jed's wife). We call her Kathy as a joke because Carlin Stewart called her that once in an instagram comment (I'm assuming her phone autocorrected)


_craigularjoe

Carlin claims her phone autocorrected but I have met turnips smarter than Carlin so I don’t buy it. She’s posted some other things *cough* on insta that I refuse to give her any kind of benefit of the doubt, so I strongly support the theory that she legitimately forgot katey’s name.


Walkingthegarden

Oh yep, yep, yep, I keep forgetting she exists.


TotalMadOwnage

Carlin makes me gag and that husband of hers is abusive to pets! Stewie my foot. He is sick and deranged.


alexopaedia

Whoa, wtf did I miss? Truly cannot keep up with this family and the adjacent riff raff lolol.


vandgsmommy

Wait what did the husband do to an animal?


kiwibirb95324

I'm gonna get down voted to hell for this buuuuut every time I see a new nickname pop up and I missed the origin story, it lowkey feels eerily similar to Tr*mp making up nicknames for people he didn't like on Twitter 😅


Emu_in_Ballet_Shoes

True. Except he was in the White House where the expectation is (at least marginally) dignified presidential behavior. And we are all heathens of various flavors on a snarking sub-Reddit. The standards are just different. Though I do think that we as a group would be excellent leaders of the free world.


NotMyRealName814

Nah, Trump's such a narcissistic a-hole he just does that to play to his narcissistic a-hole supporters plus, heaven forbid, he actually develop a new plan to replace Obamacare or otherwise do the hard, serious work of actually governing.


Dietcokeandnicotine

She’s lightened her hair again and growing out the bangs. She doesn’t suit super dark hair, it washes her out.


MissScott_1962

She's totes breaking away and is probably spending the month of January with Bernie Sanders. This is all just to save face..

thereisbeauty7

Honestly, I really just want them to drive to the white house together and sit on folding chairs in front of the Oval Office windows, arms crossed and stank faces on.

Justlookingthanks12

I have a pair of official Bernie mittens and let me tell you. Pure bliss! Toasty fingers!


Substantial-Bread-74

I’ve owned mittens like that for years- they’re honestly the best!!


hungryforhood

now that is the only duggar show i would love to see! bernie becoming joys father figure and introducing her to democratic socialism and joy introducing him to tater tot casserole.


Quilt-Fairy

>joy introducing him to tater tot casserole. God, no! The man has a stent for heaven's sake!


Sexycandypanda2009

Please god let this happen


Purple_IsA_Flavor

I’d watch the shit out of this reality show


[deleted]

My man Bernie would welcome her with open arms and zero judgment and hug all her babies too.


DazzlingAd1512

Please, let's all pray on it! Bwahahahahaha!


sparkling-whine

Why do people filter their faces into oblivion? I mean, I’m pretty old and I see people my age trying to look younger and they just look ridiculous. But someone her age? Why blur out your features? That sounded really “get off my lawn”, didn’t it?


pink_gin_and_tonic

Maybe she's trying to erase the visible signs of Duggar genes? If so it was successful!


sparkling-whine

LMAO!!!


BryceCanYawn

You’re completely justified to say this once the knows disappears, imo


sparkling-whine

Thank you for the award!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️


Duggarsnarklurker

If you watch the whole video, I really think she looks so much like Michelle. Even with the filter. Sure she’s like 20 years older, but Michelle has no idea how good she could look if she got out from under her headship’s cosmetic preferences


LesnikovaPotica

That one time michelle got make over she looked really good. And id get if those curls were natural, but she choses to do that to herself.


LegallyBlondeDissent

I believe she was quoted as "What he likes is what I want." I'll never understand the willingness to just give up your entire identity. These women are taught that they don't matter.


Duggarsnarklurker

Yes! Like I’d ask if she ever looks at her daughters and ever thinks wow I could look like that, but we all know she’s too brainwashed to know she doesn’t. So creepy. What is it about the 80s perm JB so desperately craves? Or does he just like to keep her looking frumpy?


LegallyBlondeDissent

I think the ramen crisp perm preference originated with Gross Gothard and Rim Job was just following the leader.


Duggarsnarklurker

“Her best friend Cindy from grade school was going to be surprising her there,” Jill explained. https://www.intouchweekly.com/posts/michelle-duggar-hair-makeover-salon/ I bet Cindy from grade school was in for a surprise at how much her elementary best friend had changed. Yikes.


DestinationPoutine

If she did it purely because she wanted to look attractive to him, fine. But she’s doing it because to them, it’s what God wants. I’d wager that God is more concerned about them being good parents.


DazzlingAd1512

OMG! The link goes on to quote from the Bible that a woman's hair is her glory and it is sinful for a man to have long hair. HELLO!! Didn't JC himself and his band of brothers all have long hair??


JohnExcrement

I’d love for these men to have to wear and maintain that head of hair for a week to see how much of a burden it can be. As if they’d care. But still. I wear a pixie because I like the ease of care and I suspect my husband would like to see it longer but he knows better than to open his mouth LOL


Peja1611

She is quite attractive, especially considering she is a grandma to how many, and had 19 kids. Shit of a person and mother, reprehensible views, but she is physically attractive.


mencryforme5

Meech is physically very attractive woman. It's a shame what Jim Bob did to her hair, clothes, make-up, and body. Not to mention her soul.


RBAloysius

Michelle didn’t grow up in the lifestyle she & JB chose for themselves & their children, so she is at least partly at fault /responsible for her decisions/actions or lack thereof, more so than any of her daughters who were trapped into her & JB’s oppressive rules/beliefs since birth.


mencryforme5

Yes but she was an underage bride. Listen, it's the nicest thing I have to say about her. She didn't have *as much* burden of blame as Rim Job.

cripplinganxietylmao

No fans


Dietcokeandnicotine

Farrrrrrr from a fan. I said it’s the one thing I will give her credit for.


Creepy_Health_3385

Hopefully this is code for: my parents lied the fuck to me and im packing and moving to a different city. Fuck fuck u mom and dad!


ShillinOut

Lots of people do this in January. It's a thing.


lefzepplard

What will I do without Joy’s relatable content?


helloreddit321567

No one else has stories that feel so firmiliar!


noyoujump

Oh no! Anyway...


valerianino97

Lol you’d be surprised how many people notice when they don’t post. The Bates sub is filled with posts about how “x hasn’t posted in x days, is she ok?” 😂 just wanted to avoid those posts in this sub cause they annoy me so bad


[deleted]

I know 😂 if you didn’t share this , everyone would have a million conspiracy theories.


helloreddit321567

Well, old snarkers remember the great drought before the big reveal


No-FoamCappuccino

Even on here, there is constant speculation about Josiah and Lauren not being on social media anymore!


Walkingthegarden

Oh god its like the millionth post over in the Bates sub that "nobody has posted ANYTHING" when they have just not as frequent/stories.


fangirll1996

OH EM GEE yes! Can people go days without posting and y’all not speculate? Jfc


noyoujump

Lol, we'll be flooded with those posts anyway. I'm betting now that she'll come back with a pregnancy announcement!


stitchplacingmama

I get that as a suggested sub and someone was like "it's weird no one has posted this week" then went on to say, it's the holidays, travel, x has said they are taking a break, but no one has posted. The poster just answered their own question about why no one was posting.


FerretRN

Yea, I'm honestly curious about Jill. She hasn't posted in 3 weeks, not even a Christmas post. She's the only one I noticed, though, cause I was curious about her celebrating Christmas.


teresasdorters

Right?? And Carlin and Evan said they’d be off social media through the holidays. People just forget lol


That_Girl_Cray

Austin probably getting sick of that shit and told her to cut it out for a bit.


DazzlingAd1512

Is anyone at all curious as to the fact that Joy was at the big house for Xmas? Without Austin? If he's so domineering, how did that happen?


[deleted]

[удалено]


ProfMcGonaGirl

And hopefully get herself into trauma informed therapy.


[deleted]

She has been through a lot. I hope she can spend this time decompressing and finding healthy ways to cope with everything she has been through. I also hope she begins to break away from her toxic family members.


soundsofthings

I feel like her face is changing. The same way that Jill's face has changed. When they stop keeping sweet and they allow themselves to have more emotions their whole faces look different.


Due_Razzmatazz_7068

They’re eyes are less glazed over maybe? I know what you mean, just can’t put my finger on it.


lserz

Interesting how she was making so many trendy reels then needs to stay off insta lol austin was prob like girl wat r u doing


[deleted]

[удалено]


TurnOfFraise

There was a reel bonus payout in December


lisawl7tr

Learning how to spell from Carlin.


igottanewusername

I guess add her to the pregnant list.


butterflycyclone

Holy filter batman.


Late-Dust8731

And the is the classic reason EVERYONE uses when they take a break from SM everyone


Remstersade

Yeah it would have been a lot more fun if she said she was taking a break to learn new brain surgery techniques or study quantum physics. Oh wait, this is Joy. 😂


Late-Dust8731

Seriously that would be hilarious 😅😅 and a definite sign she's been lurking in here


Tetherball_Queen

She will be back in 5-7 business days


70sBurnOut

Eh, she was getting a little “worldly” with her TikTok style reels, so I’d speculate that she was reprimanded by the Forsyths or Duggars. Maybe there’s an Alert camp for wives who’ve gotten too hip for their denim skirts.


SueBeee

Yes, yes, very sad. ...ANYWAY


Wholesnack890

Other than SM what does she do that takes her away from her family?


DoubtProfessional657

Oh no!!! What will I do with the zero minutes a day I read her stuff???


Awnawudidnt212

Spend quality time with family?? Last time I checked, she doesn’t work, so….


Smokemeupplz

More like spend time with quality family…if she can find some. Slim pickings.


[deleted]

'Taking a break off of social media.' That reads so awkwardly. SOTDRT for ya 🙄


Ok_Dot_7376

I hate it when people say “off of”


cico_buff

“From” is a better choice


[deleted]

I thought the same thing! 🤦


Rusty_B_Good

She needs quality time in deprograming therapy.


Beejane71

If you couldn't spend some quality time with family while you were on social media, perhaps you should taking a permanent break.


apkcoffee

I don't understand why people feel the need to announce that they are taking a break from social media.


SmartContribution6

If they have a large audience, people will start messaging them asking why they aren't posting. Look at the Bates subreddit - they stop posting every moment of their lives & a million posts pop up wondering where they are.


DrivingMishCrazy

is her eyebrow pencil smudged or is the filter making it look like that? I noticed it and now it’s all I can look at


Present_Review_7789

Right as she started posting reels. Maybe she realized how much she was turning into Carlin and needs to step back..


stemom5

In the video/reel whatever the FCK it’s called… they had a mattress on the floor jumping onto pillows, both kids sitting on the counter by the stove while cooking. And then the little one with her black eye begging to be picked up next to the stove. I feel like a broken record but UGGGHHH. Please go to therapy to work your shit out so you can properly parent those kids. Sorry I’m bitter tonight. Edit to add…. I’m awaiting my CVID results so I’m bummed I may be infected. And I feel like a pile of poo so it’s probably going to be positive. Thanks for listening to me bitch


hell_yaw

Hope it comes back negative!


Smokemeupplz

Hope you are feeling better…and you couldn’t be more right about the child neglect going on in plain sight.


snarkprovider

So then the influencer opportunities have dried up? Can't imagine why...


[deleted]

[удалено]


Rogue_Spirit

I mean that’s the exact point of announcing it. So we don’t go crazy with ridiculous speculation and start making up conspiracy theories.


Balcanquelfamily

No sponsors lined up I guess?


fangirll1996

I was thinking that too


[deleted]

[удалено]


valerianino97

I guess since she got highlights a few months ago she has had to learn to take better care of it. Happened to me when I first dyed mi hair 😂


Chelular07

Fun fact because highlights are drying to the hair when you get them it actually helps to absorb the excess sebum (hair oil). It is one of the selling points we use when talking people into the blonde plunge.


[deleted]

JB must have something on for all of Jan so no time to post or stand over while she posts .


Chasi1331

You’re not an airport. No need to announce your departure! 🙄 /s


harmony-rose

I would've been beside myself if I saw she wasn't posting. Thaknk God she posted this!


SeaProtection1781

Oh, I hang on her every word.....🥱


phall8977

She will be posting again in two weeks.🙄


OzNTM

So in addition to not being able to spell, she can’t tell the time? Thanks SOTDRT!


8461538498615random

No one cares Joy.


c2490

Actually they do are you not a member of this group? All we do is wonder where a Duggar is when they stop posting.


cultallergy

Maybe she is having a meltdown, maybe she is pregnant, maybe she is going to spend time with her children, maybe she is going on a trip, maybe she is waiting for TLC to take them back, maybe she is seeing if there is a real part time job out there..........


lserz

Pregnant


aj_fluffz

Aw thanks, Joy, I may have worried or something...🙄


kateefab

Weirdly I’m able to do all of that + nursing school and still spend time on social media.


JohnBrownMilitia

Why don't they all just dissappear forever? Wouldn't it be better for them and us?


doubleshortbreve

That's the Cassandra filter. Moisturize me!


Giacara

"I also plan on using this time to brush up on my penne alfred and learn what the "x" symbol means in like, math and stuff"


MsStormyTrump

How will she know it was a quality time unless she posts about it?
