Josh Duggar arrested in Arkansas - Fox News

Josh Duggar, known for appearing in "19 Kids and Counting," has been arrested in Arkansas.

The 33-year-old reality star was arrested on Thursday afternoon local time, according to an online profile from the Washington County Sheriff's Office.

His charges are currently unclear, but they are on a federal rather than local level, as the US Marshals "assisted" in the arrest -- indicating at least one other agency is involved. It's unclear what the second agency is, but the Washington County Sheriff's office told Fox News that the Duggar arrest is "not our case."

He's being held without bail.

JOSH DUGGER'S PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT RAIDED BY HOMELAND SECURITY AFTER FAMILY DENIES PREVIOUS REPORT

Back in 2019, the car dealership where Duggar worked was raided by Homeland Security in connection with an ongoing federal investigation, though it's currently unclear if the raid and his arrest are connected.

Earlier the same week, it was reported that the Duggar household was also raided, though the family denied it.

Details of the federal probe have not been publicly disclosed.

TMZ reports that he is currently involved in a legal dispute after a lawsuit was filed against him for real estate fraud.

He's also been previously accused of sexually abusing several of his sisters, as well as a fifth unrelated victim.

Elizabeth Hurley says it was a ‘nightmare’ working with Matthew Perry amid actor's addiction - Fox News

Elizabeth Hurley said it was a "nightmare" working with Matthew Perry on their 2002 film "Serving Sara," which was shot at the height of his drug addiction.  The production had to be abruptly shut down because the "Friends" star needed to enter rehab for two months.  Still, the "Royals" actress doesn’t hold it against Perry, who detailed his addiction struggles in his new memoir, "Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing."  Hurley recently told Yahoo! Entertainment it was a "little tough" during the film’s hiatus. But when he returned to filming after two months in rehab he was "fabulous."

Daisy Edgar-Jones in ‘Where the Crawdads Sing’: Film Review - Hollywood Reporter

Image
Where the Crawdads Sing is the kind of tedious moral fantasy that fuels America’s misguided idealism. It’s an attempt at a complex tale about rejection, difference and survival. But the film, like the novel it’s based on, skirts the issues — of race, gender and class — that would texture its narrative and strengthen its broad thesis, resulting in a story that says more about how whiteness operates in a society allergic to interdependence than it does about how communities fail young people. Directed by Olivia Newman ( First Match ), the film adaptation of Delia Owens’ popular and controversial novel of the same name tells the remarkable tale of a shy, reclusive girl raised in the marshes of North Carolina who finds herself embroiled in a grisly police investigation. Her name is Kya ( Daisy Edgar-Jones of Normal People , Fresh and Under the Banner of Heaven ), but to those in the neighboring town, whose residents abhor her, she is known simply as “Marsh Girl.” The account of her...
