He’s getting snarky. For a while now, many Counting On fans have wondered whether Jill Duggar’s husband, Derick Dillard, and her father, Jim Bob Duggar, previously had a falling out.

Jill, 28, and Derick, 30, are no longer featured on the TLC show, and there have been signs in the past that the law student didn’t agree with the way Jill’s family handles payment for appearances on the series. Then, on October 18, Derick further fueled the feud rumors in several cryptic tweets. Check them out in our gallery below.

Voice

That led someone to tweet at him on March 16, 2018, “Is Jim Bob still your voice?” Derick only just replied to that question as well on October 18 and wrote, “No, and never has been.”

Rumors

Finally, someone asked Derick on October 17, “I’ve been hearing a lot of rumors about a falling out between you and Jim Bob. I hope it’s not true! 🙁” and even tagged the official Duggar account, @duggarfam, in the tweet.

Falling Out?

Derick replied, “What have you heard?” and the fan answered, “Over the last several months there have been a lot of comments on various ‘fan sites’ that say you and Jim Bob had a falling out and that there’s a lot of tension between Jill and her father.”
