All eyes are on Duggar sisters Jill Dillard and Jessa Seewald after the two reportedly broke their silence about being among the victims of Josh Duggar's molestation scandal.

According to Fox News, Jill and Jessa spoke up about the controversy in their exclusive interview with the Megyn Kelly which will air Friday on "The Kelly File." Now married, the sisters reportedly defended their brother and expressed how they were "horrified by the way their story has been told and re-told online and in the media."

"We're victims. They can't do this to us," Jill reportedly commented on the media attention surrounding the Josh Duggar scandal, as quoted by Fox News. "The system that was set up to protect kids, both those who make stupid mistakes or have problems like this in their life and the ones that are affected by those choices. It's greatly failed."

Jessa also reportedly came to the defense of her eldest brother amid the Josh Duggar scandal. "I do want to speak up in his defense against people who are calling him a child molester or a pedophile or a rapist, some people are saying," Jessa reportedly told Kelly. "I'm like, 'That is so overboard and a lie really.' I mean people get mad at me for saying that, but I can say this because I was one of the victims."

Entertainment Tonight noted that Josh Duggar's parents, Jim Bob and Michelle, have reportedly admitted that their son was reportedly guilty of molesting four of his sisters and one babysitter. Besides Jill and Jessa, the only married daughters of Jim Bob and Michelle so far, the other two Duggar sisters who were also among Josh's victims remain unnamed.

Meanwhile, the family's oldest female daughter, Jana, seems to be keeping mum on the Josh Duggar scandal. There have been previous reports that Jana, only two years younger than Josh, is purportedly distancing herself from the limelight as she is allegedly aspiring to pursue a career in medicine. The Hollywood Gossip says Jana reportedly wants to become a nurse as she is already a trained first responder and midwife.
