Joseph Duggar’s alleged victim refuses to live in fear and is keeping a brave face amid the attention surrounding the case.

“It took a lot for her to come forward, but she is not scared,” a source exclusively shared with Us Weekly. “She is strong. She doesn’t want to hide.”

Last month, Us confirmed that Duggar, 31, was arrested in Arkansas amid accusations of sexual abuse from a girl, now 14, who was 9 years old at the time of the alleged incident.

Duggar 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, according to a press release from the Bay County Sheriff’s Office.

Multiple members of the Duggar family have reacted to Joseph Duggar’s arrest on child molestation charges. Joseph, who rose to fame alongside his family on the reality series 19 Kids and Counting, was taken into custody after being accused of molesting a 9-year-old girl while on a family vacation in Panama City Beach, Florida, in […]

The former 19 Kids and Counting star has pleaded not guilty to all charges, and his lawyers deny the allegations.

While the identity of the alleged victim has yet to be revealed, a source told Us that the accuser is close to the family of Joseph’s wife, Kendra Duggar.

“[Kendra’s parents] Christina and Paul Caldwell are not hiding the fact that Joseph’s victim is [close to the Caldwell family],” the insider shared. “Christina has told other members of their church, but she is not sure she wants to talk about it so publicly. That is what she is struggling with, but she is not hiding it.”

As for why the alleged victim waited to come forward and report the crime, the source said that she may have taken time to process what transpired.

“When [the alleged sexual assault] happened, Joseph was on vacation with Kendra and her family,” the insider claimed. “No other Duggar [family members] were there. … As years passed, [the alleged victim] understood more and got the courage to tell her family. Just like the police report says, when she told her family, they acted on it.”

Us has reached out to the Caldwells and attorneys for Kendra and Joseph Duggar for comment.

Al Sauline, who is serving as one of Joseph’s lawyers, told Us in a statement, “Mr. Duggar maintains the same presumption of innocence as any individual as guaranteed under our United States Constitution. It remains our number one goal to ensure Mr. Duggar is treated fairly, notwithstanding his celebrity status.”

As the investigation continues, both Kendra, 27, and Joseph’s parents have spoken out about the case that has made nationwide headlines.

Less than two weeks after Joseph was initially arrested, Jim Bob Duggar and Michelle Duggar broke their silence regarding their son’s legal woes.

“Jim Bob and Michelle are heartbroken over this entire situation,” a spokesperson for the Duggar family told Us in a statement. “Right now, they are focused on loving their family and helping Kendra and her children during this difficult time. They are praying for the victim. They ask for privacy and appreciate the kind words and prayers offered by so many.”

On April 15, Kendra’s family spoke out for the first time on social media and said they were “ troubled and heartbroken over the alleged actions committed by our son-in-law.”

“We are devastated for the young girl, a child who was courageous in every way to share her truth. We stand by her, both in support and prayer, and forever will,” the statement read via Instagram. “Our love for this child remains at the forefront of our family’s priorities and minds.

While promoting season 2 of “Beef,” Oscar Isaac answered questions about “The Hunt For Ben Solo.” The scrapped “Star Wars” movie was a passion project spearheaded by his “Star Wars” co-star, Adam Driver, and director Steven Soderbergh. Unfortunately, Driver’s character appeared to pass away at the end of 2019’s “The Rise of Skywalker,” and even though the pitch was approved by Lucasfilm, Disney execs shut down the project after they didn’t understand how Ben Solo could come back to life.

Why Was ‘The Hunt For Ben Solo’ Scrapped?

In October 2025, Adam Driver told the Associated Press that he “always was interested” in doing another “Star Wars” film. After discussing his idea with Kathleen Kennedy, he and Soderbergh got to work on a script that was written by Scott Z. Burns.

The script was seemingly well-received by Kennedy, Lucasfilm vice president Cary Beck, and Lucasfilm chief creative officer Dave Filoni. The “Marriage Story” actor called it “one of the coolest (expletive) scripts I had ever been a part of.”

“We presented the script to Lucasfilm. They loved the idea. They totally understood our angle and why we were doing it,” Driver said. “We took it to Bob Iger and Alan Bergman, and they said no. They didn’t see how Ben Solo was alive. And that was that.”

Oscar Isaac Reveals What He Knew Of ‘The Hunt For Ben Solo’

While promoting season 2 of “Beef,” Isaac appeared as a guest on Josh Horowitz’s “Happy, Sad, Confused” podcast. While most of the interview addressed his role in the hit Netflix series, he was also asked a few questions about his “Star Wars” character: Resistance pilot and leader Poe Dameron.

While Isaac hinted that he was “maybe” open to reprising his role in a future movie, he revealed that he did not know anything about “The Hunt For Ben Solo” when the ill-fated script was brought up in conversation.

“No, I didn’t read it,” Isaac said. “I had nothing to do with it.”

Oscar Isaac Addresses The ‘Somehow, Palpatine Returned’ Line

Many fans thought it was odd that Bob Iger would turn down “The Hunt For Ben Solo” when numerous characters have been brought back from the dead before. Darth Maul, who was cut in half during “The Phantom Menace,” reappeared in several animated shows before getting his own animated series, “Maul – Shadow Lord,” which has received rave reviews.

Even in 2019’s “The Rise of Skywalker,” Emperor Palpatine was brought back from the dead in order to serve as the film’s primary antagonist. Isaac delivered the line “Somehow, Palpatine returned” himself, which has been widely mocked across social media in the years following the film’s release.

When asked about that line, Isaac revealed that it was a late addition to the movie that was only added during reshoots. “Those were reshoots. We had to do reshoots. Those are those surgical strikes where you come in, and they are scrambling, trying to get everything going,” he said. “And I think that was a new addition at the end.” He also admitted he had no idea the line would become meme-worthy.

Isaac Reflects On The ‘Excitement’ Of Filming ‘Star Wars’

The sequel trilogy kicked off with 2015’s “The Force Awakens,” which hit theaters over ten years ago. Isaac said that his “favorite experience of doing the first one was wild” and recalled “so much excitement” on set because “everything was new.”

He talked about “becoming close with” director J.J. Abrams and meeting his costars, Daisy Ridley and John Boyega. He also mentioned that he enjoyed “reuniting” with Adam Driver, as they had previously appeared in “Inside Llewyn Davis” together. “That was such an exciting moment,” Isaac recalled.

Oscar Isaac Had Nothing But Positive Things To Say About Rian Johnson

“The Force Awakens” was followed by 2017’s “The Last Jedi,” which proved to be the most divisive film in the sequel trilogy. While some fans loved the movie’s bold new direction, others felt that the story strayed too far from what Abrams had set up in “The Force Awakens.”

In response to the backlash, Isaac admitted that he grew up “with fans and geeks,” so he knew “how much ownership people feel over them.” But he admitted that he “loved” the experience of filming “The Last Jedi” with director Rian Johnson and getting the opportunity to meet him.

“He’s so laid back, so funny, and trying to make it his own. I loved Benicio being in it, too, stuttering,” Isaac said. “I really loved it, it was such an amazing experience.”

It remains to be seen if Isaac will ever reprise his role as Poe Dameron, but fans have speculated that he might make an appearance in Ryan Gosling‘s “Star Wars: Starfighter,” which hits theaters in May 2027. The first “Star Wars” movie to hit theaters since “The Rise of Skywalker” will be “The Mandalorian & Grogu,” which is scheduled for release on May 22, 2026.

Bold and the Beautiful has Miss Dylan (Sydney Bullock) freaked out by a phone call she gets this week while she’s at work. Somebody’s using a voice modulator to disguise who they are.

And basically, just as this whole mess with Ivy Forrester (Ashleigh Brewer), Will Spencer (Crew Morrow), and Electra Forrester (Laneya Grace) wraps up, something new happens to Dylan.

Right as we head into sweeps, we’re going to talk about who could be tormenting Dylan because this definitely sounds like big trouble heading her way. Possibly some sort of danger.

Dylan Gets a Creepy Phone Call on Bold and the Beautiful

All right. So, this week we’re going to see Dylan alone in the design office and she gets a phone call. So, she’s up at Forrester Creations, middle of her workday, and the person on the other end of the call has their voice distorted. Sounds like a guy, sounds creepy, but it could be a woman with a voice modulator that works like that.

So, the mystery person sounds ominous, and they tell Dylan they have unfinished business, and she looks completely freaked out by this phone call. So the big question is who is stalking Dylan? Is it somebody who is currently on the character canvas or is it possibly a ghost from her recent past or her far past?

B&B Shocker: Could It Be Luna Nozawa?

Somebody if it’s more recent like Luna Nozawa who a lot of B&B viewers really don’t think is dead. And yes, I know that Brad Bell said she really is. I don’t believe him as far as I could toss him. And I guarantee I couldn’t toss him more than about six inches. So, we’ll see. Yeah, Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) shot her and Luna was presumed dead back then.

And then her grandma, Li Finnegan (Naomi Matsuda), faked her death, snuck her out of the hospital. So, Luna came back from the dead once already. And of course, she can come back again because it’s a soap. And she’s the first person that we thought of because it would make perfect sense for Dylan to be tormented by Luna because she ran her over and supposedly killed her.

Bold and the Beautiful: Luna Still Alive?

I’ll say this, I thought her death was dodgy at the time because Dylan had no reason to be on that side of the town and she didn’t hate Luna like many others did and Dylan’s a sweetie with a soft spot for people. And there’s the fact we never saw Luna being zipped into a body bag or anything like that.

So, I could see her coming back from the not so dead and manipulating Dylan, you know, chewing her out for running her over and leaving her for dead. There’s a chance there was some sort of fake out. If so, I don’t feel like Dylan was involved, but yeah, I could see Luna terrorizing Dylan, wanting to punish her for leaving her for dead, even if it was just an accident on Bold and the Beautiful.

You know, we’ll see. Since the person’s using a voice modifier, I tend to think Dylan wasn’t expecting this call. So, if it is Luna, I think that’ll be a big blindside. It’d be wild if she’d been spying also and knows that Dylan was living at Will’s beach house because that would be another reason for Luna to torment Dylan from beyond the grave because Luna was obsessed with Will. Thought that he belonged to her. So, of course, Luna could go after Dylan for moving in on Luna’s man Will because that’s the way her twisted mind sees him.

Could It Be Sheila Carter on B&B?

If it’s not Luna, it could still be somebody adjacent to her, like her psycho grandma Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown). And now that she’s been dumped by Deacon Sharpe (Sean Kanan) and he ran off with Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig), we could see Sheila acting out in other ways. And she might want Dylan to pay for running over Luna.

She may think it’s overdue. Sheila claims to have changed and evolved, and it seemed like she was going to gracefully walk away from the wreckage of her marriage, but then Sheila was lurking and spying on Deacon and Taylor and had this wicked smile on her face.

So, I don’t think she’s necessarily all there. And we know the old Sheila would have tried to kill Taylor immediately. But just because Sheila is not homicidal yet or is reigning it in doesn’t mean that she’s not going to bide her time, you know, wait to see if Taylor and Deacon even last. And in the meantime, Sheila may focus on a new project, scaring Dylan, terrifying her to get payback because Luna was one of the few people that Sheila had in her life.

Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers: Sheila Has No One

There was Deacon and there was a casual low-key friendship with Li. And now Sheila’s lost both Luna and Deacon. And it’s not like she and Li were exactly bowling buddies. So Sheila might be lashing out at Dylan because she took Luna from her. But if it is Sheila, I don’t think she’s going to hurt Dylan.

She may just mess with her. I could totally see Sheila doing that, you know, just as a psychological relief so she doesn’t go axe murder Taylor, you know. Or maybe Sheila wants Dylan to tell her about Luna’s last moments, how the wreck happened. Did she die in pain? Stuff like that. You know, just because Sheila is in a weird place.

Other Possibilities on Bold

Another possibility is Remy Pryce (Christian Weissmann). He’s just come back and he is staying since actor Christian Weissmann is on contract now. So, he might be terrorizing Dylan because she ran over Luna. If you recall, Remy and Luna had a friendship. Plus, we know that Remy has a tie to another character, somebody who’s kind of dodgy.

So, we could find out Luna’s alive and has been hiding with Remy because, you know, they’ve got this twisted connection with Remy and Deacon split up. I mean, obviously Remy’s got time on his hands and some secret. And the secret might tie back to Dylan, but have nothing to do with Luna. I mean, heck, they could make Remy her brother. You know, he could be Dylan’s brother if we’re just looking at possible connections.

Poppy Tormenting Dylan on Bold and the Beautiful?

The fourth person to think about is Luna’s crazy mom, Poppy Nozawa (Romy Park), who may, which would be weird, but she may want revenge on Dylan for running over her daughter. This one to me feels like a long shot because Poppy was a terrible mom. Her poor choices made Luna’s life miserable and I think made her into the psycho she was.

Plus, when Li told Poppy at the hospital that Luna died, she was happy. And if you recall, Poppy was then upset when she found out Luna actually survived. And Poppy said she wish she was dead. But maybe she finally regrets Luna dying and is acting out. Or could be Li, who actually did care about Luna.

B&B Twist: Could It Be Ivy?

So, the last person to consider who might target Dylan has nothing to do with Luna. But this is somebody who I think would love to torment Dylan and blame things on her, and that’s Ivy. She’s exposed this week for manipulating Electra and destroying her relationship with Will. And remember, Ivy pushed Dylan to pursue Will so he wouldn’t get back with Electra.

So, it could be that Ivy has some sort of dirt or some sort of leverage she could use to try and get Dylan to sabotage Will and Electra because Ivy’s going to be kicked out of Electra’s life, I think, very soon. And then Ivy’s not going to have any influence over her niece Electra. But if there’s something that Ivy has found out about Dylan, she could use against her, that’s plausible. And Ivy might be pretending that it’s not her because Dylan might run and tattle if she knew who it was.

So, we’re going to find out pretty soon who is hassling Miss Dylan and why. I don’t think it’s RJ Forrester (Brayan Nicoletti) or any of the Forresters. I can’t imagine it’s any of the Spencers or Electra or Will or Daphne Rose (Murielle Hilaire) or Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor). But one last thing, it could be some bizarre blast from Dylan’s past that we know nothing about and that all unfolds in sweeps. With May sweeps kicking off this Thursday, we’re going to see things heat up from there.

Taylor Sheridan‘s days at Paramount are numbered, with a new partnership with NBCUniversal lined up. But the television mogul isn’t taking it easy and resting on his laurels. His latest series for the studio has emerged as a major hit, tying a bow on his decade-long association with Paramount. It had already been renewed for a second season before premiering this year, and it was recently announced that the series will return for a third season as well. This may be the final season of television that Sheridan creates for Paramount during this stint, with many of his older hits either having ended already or nearing their final seasons.

Sheridan’s relationship with Paramount began with the neo-Western Yellowstone, which became one of the biggest pandemic-era hits in the United States. The show ended its five-season run in 2024, after a behind-the-scenes dispute between Sheridan and star Kevin Costner. Two spin-offs — 1883 and 1923 — have also been aired, with a third one lined up: Dutton Ranch premiering next month. Sheridan’s run continued with Mayor of Kingstown, which will return for a fifth and final season; Tulsa King, which is set to return for a fourth season and a spin-off; Lioness, which is expecting a third season; and Landman, which has been renewed for a third season as well.

Taylor Sheridan Will Move to NBCUniversal in 2029

Sheridan’s latest series is The Madison, which was initially touted as a Yellowstone spin-off but was later revealed to be a standalone series. Starring Michelle Pfeiffer and Kurt Russell, the six-episode series ended its first season in March, having received mostly positive reviews and pushed Sheridan towards uncharted waters in the world of streaming. The show holds a 63% score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, where the critics’ consensus reads, “The Madison may not be an all-inclusive stay, but it offers a top-tier Michelle Pfeiffer, beautiful East Coast locations, and an expansion of the Taylor Sheridan universe, which is satisfying enough.”

According to FlixPatrol, The Madison has now spent more than 30 days on the Paramount+ streaming charts, joining Sheridan’s previous titles as a bona fide hit. Sheridan, who received an Oscar nomination for writing Hell or High Water, is eying a return to films with next year’s F.A.S.T. and the recently announced Call of Duty adaptation, set for release in 2028.

West Wilson is speaking out about his controversial relationship with Summer House costar Amanda Batula after receiving backlash from fans and costars.

“There was no overlap. I know there’s a thousand different theories on the internet right now but that is one thing that for sure did not happen,” West, 31, said on the Monday, April 20 episode of his and Sophie Cunningham‘s “Show Me Something” podcast, referring to his past romance with fellow costar Ciara Miller and Amanda’s marriage to estranged husband Kyle Cooke. “Everyone was single.”

West added that he and Amanda, 34, later “realized things” between them were “a little bit serious.”

After the couple’s romance took the internet by storm in March, West shared that he has been keeping things low-key and has stayed off his phone. However, he has reached out to some of his Summer House costars to explain things.

“I’ve sent some texts. Haven’t gotten responses from everybody yet, which is to be expected and I get it. That’s the hardest part,” he reflected. “I think with this whole situation is my actions have hurt people I care about. But the reunion’s coming up and I can give those apologies face-to-face and also clear up all of the crazy s*** that’s been on the internet.”

Amid ongoing rumors about their relationship status, Amanda and West confirmed their romance in a March 31 statement.

“We’ve seen the growing online speculation, so while this is still very new, we wanted to provide some clarity,” the pair said in a joint statement posted via Instagram at the time. “It was never our intention to purposely hide anything. Given the complicated relationship dynamics involved and the scrutiny that comes with being on a reality show, we needed a little space to process things privately before speaking on it.”

While Amanda and West have “shown up for each other as friends over the years, through all the highs and lows,” they insisted their romance “was the last thing either of us expected,” adding that it “grew out of a genuine, longstanding friendship, which made it especially important for us to approach this with care.”

Related: West Wilson Weighed in on Kyle and Amanda’s Marriage 2 Months Before Romance

West Wilson weighed in on Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula’s marriage — and rocky relationship — two months before confirming his romance with Amanda. “They are very different people,” West, 31, exclusively told Us Weekly in January of Kyle, 43, and Amanda, 34, after the then-couple’s marriage struggles were teased in a trailer for season […]

Their statement concluded: “As our feelings evolved, we wanted to take time to understand exactly what we were feeling. We also recognize that this has had an impact beyond just us and never wanted our actions to cause any hurt or be perceived as careless. We truly appreciate the understanding and respect as we navigate this.”

Prior to Amanda and West going public with their romance, they were both in relationships with other Summer House cast members. Amanda and estranged husband Kyle, 43, announced their separation in January after four years of marriage, while West dated Amanda’s friend Ciara, 30, in 2023 and hooked up with her in recent weeks, sources exclusively told Us Weekly.

In the wake of West and Amanda’s hookup scandal, an insider told Us that Ciara was “heartbroken” by the situation, noting, “She and Amanda were very close, and she feels more betrayed than ever by both of them.”

“Ciara cut off both Amanda and West after finding out,” a second insider told Us at the time. “She’s furious at West but even more hurt by Amanda. ‘Disappointed’ doesn’t even cover it. This is so much more to Ciara than just breaking girl code.” (Ciara has since broken her silence about the scandal, telling Glamour it’s been a “major mindf***.”)

“I think she had more evidence at her disposal than I did,” he explained. “She was trying to, like, let me come to terms at my own speed. It’s just a lot to process.”

While Kyle was “still in shock” and “disbelief” over the revelation of Amanda and West’s romance, he opted to give his estranged wife “grace just because I know she — just from a mental standpoint — is fragile.”

“Right now, I’m honestly more concerned about Amanda’s mental health and I am trying to get to the bottom of it because I am worried about her,” he elaborated. “I don’t think West is in a place to offer her what she needs. I’ve been caring and providing for her for 10 years. It’s a weird position to find myself in.”

Marcus Rosner plays a pivotal role on season 4 of Sullivan’s Crossing as Maggie’s secret husband, Liam.

Season 3 of the hit series, which started streaming on Netflix in August 2025, initially hinted at Maggie’s (Morgan Kohan) ex when she mentioned Liam (Rosner) to Lola (Amalia Williamson) as a summer fling she had met before finishing medical school. After a meet-cute while on a trip abroad, Maggie and Liam fell out of touch.

Liam was brought up again when Cal (Chad Michael Murray) found letters Maggie had written to Liam explaining why their relationship couldn’t work long-term because she wanted to prioritize her career.

The rest of the season focused on Maggie and Cal’s relationship. Despite them not being an official couple, they faced several challenges, including Cal reconnecting with his estranged father who was battling a terminal illness.

Season 4 of Sullivan’s Crossing will be picking up the pieces after Cal met Maggie’s secret husband — but who else is expected to appear?

After Maggie supported Cal through the difficult reunion, they returned to Sullivan’s Crossing, where he asked her to move in with him. They started planning their future just as the season came to an end, which is when a guest who checked in earlier that day revealed himself to be Liam. He then shocked Cal by referring to himself as Maggie’s husband.

Season 4, which premiered on The CW on Monday, April 20, will feature flashbacks that offer more insight into Liam and Maggie’s romance before she moved to Canada. Keep scrolling for everything to know about Rosner:

What Did Marcus Rosner Star in Before ‘Sullivan’s Crossing’?

Marcus Rosner’s most notable roles include UnREAL, Arrow, Supernatural and Once Upon a Time. He has also been a very consistent presence in Hallmark movies such as Autumn In the Vineyard, Love on Harbor Island, Romance to the Rescue, Flipping for Christmas, Love on the Right Course and Falling Like Snowflakes.

What Has Marcus Rosner Shared About His Personal Life?

In December 2020, Rosner announced his engagement to longtime girlfriend Alison Kroeker. They got married one year later. In January 2026, the couple welcomed their first child.

What Did the Cast Know About Liam Before His ‘Sullivan’s Crossing’ Debut?

Morgan Kohan previously teased the surprise twist, telling Swoon in July 2025, “I remember hearing a little bit [about Liam early in season 3]. I didn’t know they were married. There started to be talk when we filmed the scene with Lola and having summer flings. I knew that he was going to be coming into it, but I didn’t really know when or in what capacity. That cliffhanger was so much fun for me to read as well.”

Kohan acknowledged that Maggie’s trepidation about getting serious with Cal could have come from her past with Liam, adding, “I feel like it came up so last minute that I didn’t really have time to think about it, but I think it definitely would. It makes a lot more sense, for sure, for her to be more hesitant.”

The actress noted that she was just as in the dark about Liam’s role in season 4 as the audience.

“At the same time, I still don’t know the history, so who knows when we get to find out a bit more of that information, what he really means that he’s her husband and all that kind of stuff,” she continued. “I mean, there’s gonna have to be a few conversations had [between Maggie and Cal]. It’s going to be a trust thing to have to build up again because that is a pretty big thing to leave out.”

Could Liam Break Up Cal and Maggie on ‘Sullivan’s Crossing’?

Showrunner Roma Roth teased what the newcomer’s arrival meant for Maggie and Cal.

“There’s never a dull moment at Sullivan’s Crossing,” Roth told Collider in July 2025. “A romance drama series needs to have push and pull between your characters … we’re going to have a pretty big shoe drop at the end of the season that we’ll get to see play out in season 4.”

Roth said she wanted season 3 to reflect the theme of “second chances,” sharing, “These characters have been through a lot over two seasons. We wanted to give them an opportunity to explore love. I think that’s what we actually even called one of the scripts.”

Roth concluded: “Because we’re dealing with a lot of emotional issues we wanted to have some lightness and levity this season, by giving people a reprieve and having them have some hope and positivity in their lives. Continuing the journey from the head to the heart — with emotion and drama and a few surprises.”

How Has Marcus Rosner Transitioned From Acting?

In addition to being in front of the camera, Marcus Rosner has directed and written for projects as well.

“I’ve been fortunate to have a really privileged career both in front of the camera and as a producer, but in many ways it feels like all of that has been building toward stepping into the director’s chair,” he told The Northern Arizona Times in April 2026. “Acting is still my favorite part of the process, those moments between action and cut, but directing offers a different kind of creative fulfillment. Having that level of control keeps you engaged and creatively stimulated throughout the entire day, and that’s something I’ve found myself really craving.”

He added: “My background has been incredibly valuable in that transition. Acting gave me a deep understanding of performance, while producing taught me how films actually come together. Together, those experiences made stepping into writing and directing feel grounded and intentional. I have a clearer sense of what’s achievable, what’s interesting, and how to shape a visual and tonal language that feels specific to me.”
