Duggar No More! 10 Ways Jessa Is Distancing Herself From Her Disgraced Brother Josh & Famous Family: Moving Plans, Online Jabs
Sept. 28 2015, Updated 6:37 p.m. ET
After Josh Duggar's second sex scandal shocked fans, Jessa Duggar Seewald wants nothing to do with her disgraced big brother— or the family name!RadarOnline.com can reveal the 10 ways the expectant 22-year-old is distancing herself from the former 19 Kids And Counting clan.
While attending the Southern Woman's Show in Orlando, Florida, on September 26, Jessa said she is going to do parenting differently than her super Christian parents, Jim Bob and Michelle. First, she's not going to name her kids with the same first letter. "We thought to ourselves, if we do that, we'll kind of limit our name selection," her husband Ben, 20, explained, according to Entertainment Tonight. "We thought maybe we'll keep our options open."
And she certainly won't be having a brood of 19! When a fan asked if she wanted as many kids as her mother, she reportedly answered "No!"
Unlike her parents and adult siblings, Jessa is looking to adopt a child after welcoming their first biological baby in November. "We're looking into that and trying to see what the process is, what the requirements are," Jessa allegedly said.

According to Entertainment Tonight, fans were not allowed to utter Josh's name during the event with Jessa and Ben.

For the first time, Jessa publicly slammed Josh by promoting her father-in-law Michael Seewald's takedown
of the shamed father of four, which referred to him as "evil."
In another instance, her silence spoke volumes. During an appearance at a Christian event in Charlotte, North Carolina, on August 29, Jessa refused to discuss Josh.
After news broke that Josh was accused of molesting five young girls, Jessa came forward as one of the victims— but defended his actions. Now, following his confession to cheating and a porn addiction, Jessa has been brushing off the horrific stories with baby bump photos and updates.

See ya! The mom-to-be has said she's also willing to leave her family's native Arkansas if her husband's seminary job offers an exciting opportunity.
In the biggest diss to her family yet, Jessa and Jill will have their own spinoff show on the Christian clan's former network, TLC. (The show was canceled after Josh's humiliating behavior went public.) Josh, of course, won't be making a cameo.
