Kendra Duggar reportedly put her family’s home up for rent and sold personal items to secure funds to pay for her husband Joseph Duggar’s bond.
People reported on Friday, April 3, that Kendra, 27, listed some of the family’s property for sale and was preparing to move out of their home to transform it into a rental property after Joseph, 31, was arrested last month.
Kendra and Joseph brainstormed ways to make money during a March 25 jail phone call, according to audio obtained by People.
The outlet reported that Kendra and Joseph discussed selling personal items such as most of their trailers, their four-wheeler, a pressure washer, a waterproof tarp and a wood splitter. Kendra also reportedly moved items out of their home in preparation for transforming it into a rental in order to earn rental income from the property.
Us Weekly has reached out to a Duggar family representative for comment.
In another call that took place while Joseph was in custody at Arkansas’ Washington County Sheriff’s Office last month, Kendra asked her husband if he needed more funds after learning that phone calls from jail had a price.
“Oh, so [it] costs money for you to call me each time?” Kendra asked Joseph during a phone conversation, per audio obtained by Us Weekly. “Do you need more money?”
Joseph explained that he initially had $60 for phone and other privileges, which was determined based on the cash in his wallet when he was booked at Washington County. He added that he would only be using the funds for phone calls.
Joseph was arrested in Arkansas on March 19. He was charged with lewd and lascivious behavior involving molestation of a victim less than 12 years old and lewd and lascivious behavior conducted by a person 18 years or older after a 14-year-old girl came forward to police accusing Joseph of molesting her when she was 9 during a 2020 vacation to Panama City Beach, Florida.
Joseph was extradited to Florida earlier this week, where he pleaded not guilty. He was later released on $600,000 bail.
In addition to the molestation case, Joseph and Kendra were both charged with four counts of endangering the welfare of a minor and four counts of false imprisonment. These charges are unrelated to the molestation allegations
