Anna Duggar has stuck by her husband Josh's side for over a year following the revelation that he cheated on her, molested his sisters, and kept an Ashley Madison account.

But it appears that Anna has had enough. The 28-year-old mother of four is reportedly filing for divorce from her husband of over eight years.

A recent report in In Touch said that Anna is mulling over a divorce and will soon seek the help of a divorce lawyer. "She will see a lawyer in the next few weeks to have divorce papers drawn up so she can rid herself of Josh," an insider reportedly close to Anna told the publication.

Many were shocked when Anna decided to stick by her man after the news broke that Josh had cheated on her and had a pornography addiction. Last year, Josh admitted to his hypocrisy and to viewing porn on the internet for several years during his marriage. Prior to this, it was revealed that Josh, as a teenager, had molested five underage girls, including four of his sisters. In August 2015, he entered a faith-based rehab. 

Earlier this year, Anna appeared on the season premiere of "Counting On," where she happily talked about her marriage, saying that she has a lot of hope and that Josh's attempts to rectify things give her joy.

"We are just taking it one day at a time... and working on strengthening our relationship as a couple and with our children," she said.

According to In Touch, Anna's change of heart was brought on by new friends who expressed concern about what they felt was the Duggar family's manipulation of Anna. These friends were reportedly "horrified" that Anna had been talked into making everything seem fine even when they were not.

Hearing her new friends' thoughts on her situation reportedly helped change Anna's mind about staying with Josh.

Wonderwall said that Daniel Keller, Anna's older brother, has previously vented about his brother-in-law Josh, whom he called a "pig."

"I have told her I would pay for her to move out here w me and pay for her kids," Daniel wrote on Facebook. "I don't think Josh will see that this is a big deal and truly be broken until that happens. I [bet] my life on the fact that Josh has not come to true brokenness yet," he continued.
