This isn't the first time Joseph and Kendra have been criticized lately. In August, the couple faced backlash after they posted a photo of the family enjoying a day on the lake. Concerned fans called them out on the Instagram post (via Pop Culture) for not putting a life jacket on their 9-month-old daughter, Addison. A few weeks ago, The Hollywood Gossip reported that Kendra was blasted after a photo of her was posted on a friend's Instagram page in which Kendra was wearing a face mask under her nose.
Other members of the Duggar family have also come under fire for their behavior during the pandemic. Several members of the family have been spotted not practicing social distancing or wearing masks, which led to rumors back in April that the family patriarch, Jim Bob Duggar, thinks the pandemic is a hoax (via The Hollywood Gossip). Just last week, the Daily Mail reported that Joy-Anna Duggar was lambasted for bringing her newborn daughter to church, posing for family photos outside.
