Jessa Duggar accused of ‘deleting’ Instagram comments revealing newborn daughter’s name to keep YouTube views up
JESSA Duggar has been slammed by fans for deleting their comments leaking her newborn daughter's name in order to get more YouTube views.
The Counting On star welcomed her fourth child on Sunday alongside her husband Ben Seewald.
Jessa, 28, faced backlash after a fan noticed she was deleting Instagram comments that revealed her daughter's name.
The accusation came after the reality star uploaded a YouTube video teasing the name announcement, so some believe she was "desperate" for video views.
One follower screen-recorded the TV personality as she quickly deleted comments from her profile and shared the video to Reddit.
"Jesse deleting aaallllllll the comments with baby Seaworlds name. Someone is hungry for YouTube money!" they captioned the post, which showed over a hundred comments disappearing within the blink of an eye.
"Omg isn’t she tired and sore and like, feeding a baby? Who even has the time?" a user ranted.
"She's desperate for the views to get more Youtube money!" another explained, adding: "Hopefully she keeps that money for she and Ben and Jboob doesn't try to take a cut."
"She must be desperate. That's ridiculous and boob living it up," a third reasoned.
Others further added to the speculation by mentioning Instagram's censoring feature.
"There's actually a feature, you just use the censor setting where you censor certain words like swear words so she prob just inputted "fern" and bots just do it for her," they explained.
BABY NUMBER FOUR
Jessa and her husband Ben Seewald, 26, welcomed their fourth child on Sunday.
The couple announced their baby's gender and name through a two-series YouTube compilation as they documented the birth.
The pair revealed their daughter Fern Elliana Seewald after the young mom fought through more than 12 hours of painful contractions.
Doctors had to administer two epidurals as the first failed, helping the baby arrive at a healthy eight and a half pounds and 21 inches.
Jessa's mom Michelle Duggar was in the delivery room to assist with the childbirth.
Nurses asked the family matriarch if she would like to cut the umbilical cord, to which she replied: "I would love to."
Later, Ben Facetimed their other three children, Spurgeon, five, Henry, four, and daughter Ivy, one, so they could meet their tiny sibling.
RAINBOW BABY
In February, Jessa and Ben revealed the exciting news that they were expecting, after a devastating miscarriage last year.
Their decision to deliver baby Fern at the hospital deviates from the family's strict Christian beliefs, but due to previous health complications, they decided on a more modern route.
"Ben and I talked this over a lot and we decided we are going to do a hospital birth this time," she explained in a previous YouTube video.

"So that'll be different. I've had three great home births, no complications with the birth itself, but I have had postpartum hemorrhage two times, with my first and my third.
"For that reason, we are choosing to do hospital birth so we won't have to deal with the transport if I end up needing Pitocin."
