Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard Make the Cut for the Worst Celebrity Couples of 2017

While it’s hard to get much lower than being fired from your own reality TV show, it seems that Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard are actually ending 2017 on an even lower note. The couple hasn’t had the best year, and it seems to be capped off with being titled one of the Worst Celebrity Couples of 2017, reports Inquisitr.

Of the Duggar couples, it’s likely that Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard are the least liked, which is evident based on their Instagram comments. The parents of two are constantly criticized for their parenting skills. What’s more, Derick has a tendency to share his very conservative beliefs on Twitter.

Dillard tweeted some horrible remarks to TLC star Jazz Jennings. This lead to the network deciding to sever ties with Dillard, firing him from Counting On. While there hasn’t been any word about whether or not Jill Duggar will be appearing on the show, it’s clear that the family will be taking a big hit not having their show to rely on for income.

Many fans have voiced their concerns about what Dillard’s Twitter rants and skewed opinions may have cost his wife.

Speaking of income, another reason why the Duggar-Dillard couple finds themselves on the Worst Celebrity Couples of 2017 list could be that many believe that the two were scamming fans. Dillard set up a Go Fund Me account to raise money. Though there is no proof, many think that Dillard was using the money frivolously.

The couple’s downfall in popularity started shortly after their second son, Samuel, in the summer. Given the constant criticism and negative headlines, it was unlikely the pair could make a positive comeback. With the title of one of the worst couples, it is almost impossible. Hopefully, they will just have to make something work for them in the future.

However, despite the negative press surrounding the couple, they seem to be looking forward to 2018. They continue to be active on social media and seem to be happy raising their boys in their own unique way. Perhaps Derick’s missionary work will work out and they can try to make a name for themselves away from television. At this point, it’s probably for the best that they move out of the limelight.
