In a prison phone call, Joseph Duggar<\/strong><\/a>\u2018s wife, Kendra Duggar<\/strong>, revealed what his family thinks of his recent arrest.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust know that everybody loves you, even if they\u2019re disappointed,\u201d Kendra, 27, said in a conversation from Thursday, March 26, later released by TMZ<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

Joseph, 31, acknowledged that he understood the \u201cdisappointment,\u201d<\/a> but he \u201cabsolutely\u201d feels the love of his family.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not upset or anything like that,\u201d he added as Kendra expressed that they have to take the situation one day at a time. \u201cYeah, that\u2019s what we have to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Page Six<\/em>, Kendra\u2019s phone number appeared in Joseph\u2019s call<\/a> log every day \u2014 sometimes twice a day.

He was extradited to Florida on Tuesday, March 31, and entered a written plea of not guilty. He also requested a jury trial.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s asking to be treated as fairly as anyone else, regardless of his status in the television industry,\u201d his lawyer said during an arraignment in Bay County, Florida, on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Duggar\u2019s lawyer noted that the family is \u201casking for the most reasonable bond<\/a>,\u201d adding, \u201cHe has no criminal history whatsoever.\u201d<\/p>\n
