The recent legal troubles surrounding former reality TV stars Joseph and Kendra Duggar are taking a severe physical and emotional toll on the couple.
Newly uncovered audio from jailhouse phone calls reveals a highly distressed Kendra confiding in her husband about her deteriorating state following their shocking arrests in March. During the emotional conversations, Kendra admitted that the mounting anxiety of the situation has left her practically unable to consume food or even stand on her own two feet.
The recorded calls took place on March 21—just one day after Kendra herself was taken into custody—and continued on March 26 while Joseph remained locked up in an Arkansas county jail.
Kendra is heard explaining to her husband that she can barely eat or walk due to the overwhelming stress of their ongoing legal woes.
Beyond the extreme physical toll the ordeal is taking on Kendra, the couple's jailhouse conversations also highlighted their growing financial anxieties. As the Duggars attempt to navigate the heavy fallout from their time behind bars, the leaked audio makes it abundantly clear that the crisis is stretching the family to their absolute limits.
