He’s The Daddy Now!” Pumpkin Sparks Outrage As Darrin Is Seen Disciplining Josh’s Kids In Leaked Video.
The lines have officially been crossed, and fans are furious. Lauryn “Pumpkin” Efird is facing a massive backlash today after a leaked video surfaced showing Dralin Carswell—her sister Alana’s boyfriend—disciplining Pumpkin’s children, sparking accusations that he is trying to replace Josh Efird as the man of the house.
The shocking footage, which appeared on a private Instagram story before being deleted, shows Dralin shouting at Pumpkin’s son, Bentley, and ordering him to “go to your room” while Pumpkin can be heard laughing in the background.
“Where Is Josh?”
The video has ignited a firestorm of criticism from fans who believe Dralin has no right to parent Josh’s children. With rumors already swirling that Pumpkin and Josh are living separately, this video is being seen as proof that Dralin has stepped into the “Daddy” role.
“This is disrespectful to Josh,” one angry fan commented. “Dralin is a guest. He is Alana’s boyfriend. Why is he screaming at Josh’s son? And why is Pumpkin letting it happen? It’s like Josh doesn’t even exist anymore.”
“He’s The Daddy Now”
Insiders suggest that the dynamic in the house has shifted drastically. With Josh reportedly working long hours or staying elsewhere, Dralin has allegedly become the primary male figure for the four children (Ella, Bentley, Sylus, and Stella).
“Pumpkin relies on Dralin for everything now,” a source close to the family revealed. “He drives them to school, he makes them dinner, and yes, he disciplines them. She even jokes that ‘He’s the daddy now’ because he is the one actually there. But Josh is going to flip when he sees this.”
Is This The Ultimate Betrayal?
The video has added fuel to the wild theory that Pumpkin and Dralin have grown “too comfortable” together. Fans are pointing out that Alana was nowhere to be seen in the video, leading to uncomfortable questions about who Dralin is really there for.
“First she moves him in, now he’s raising her kids?” a critic wrote. “This is getting weird. Pumpkin needs to fix her marriage and stop playing house with her sister’s boyfriend.”
Josh Efird has yet to comment, but friends say he is “humiliated” by the footage.
