The friendship between Bringing Up Bates star Carlin Bates Stewart and Counting On star Joy-Anna Duggar Forsyth continues to grow. The girlfriends celebrated the Independence Day “the right way,” according to a series of video clips shared on their Instagram Story. Pregnant Joy-Anna Duggar Forsyth and her friend Carlin Bates had their arms tightly wrapped around the waists of their husbands as they went 4-wheeling together.

Fans took issue with pregnant Joy-Anna Duggar Forsyth 4-wheeling.

Joy-Anna and her husband Austin Forsyth are currently pregnant with a rainbow baby. For those unfamiliar with the term, it means they miscarried during their previous pregnancy. Some Counting On fans and critics felt 4-wheeling while pregnant was an unnecessary risk for someone who had previously experienced a devastating miscarriage.

Joy-Anna Duggar Forsyth 4-wheeling was far from the only issue fans and critics had. Where was her helmet? If she was going to take the risk of 4-wheeling while pregnant… Couldn’t she at least wear protection?

In a Duggar Facebook Group, critics discussed the fact that she was sporting backless sandals. After all, it isn’t particularly safe to ride a 4-wheeler with shoes that slip on and off your feet. Here’s what else critics had to say about 4-wheeling while pregnant:

  • “Yeahhh I don’t think doctors would advise a pregnant lady to do that.”
  • “Not because of a previous miscarriage but because of the risk of accident.”
  • “Is she wearing a skirt?”
  • “I’m now remembering the Duggars don’t have common sense.”

Some insisted it was ‘typical redneck behavior.’

Even in a critic-heavy conversation, not everyone wanted to bash Joy-Anna Forsyth for her decision to 4-wheel. Some insisted it was “typical redneck behavior” and a “common place in the south.”

Some noted they did not have an issue with the activity. They did not like that she wasn’t wearing a helmet. And, they wish she had chosen a more appropriate ensemble. On a caption attached to the video, the Bringing Up Bates couple were careful to clarify they were riding slow. So, perhaps Joy-Anna wasn’t in that much danger.

Here’s what some had to say in defense of her July 4th festivities:

  • “I’m not defending this at all because I can see the danger. But I’m from the south and this behavior is pretty commonplace. They probably didn’t think twice about it. I’ve witnessed a similar scenario.”
  • “She doesn’t legally have to wear a helmet..This is pretty normal red neck behavior and if the flip flop fits…”
  • “As long as they’re driving slow just cruising I don’t see a problem with it. I’m sure if Joy didn’t want to go she would’ve stayed behind.”

Unfortunately for Joy-Anna Duggar Forsyth, even the support seemed a bit backhanded. The real question is… What do you think about pregnant Joy-Anna Duggar Forsyth 4-wheeling with no helmet?
