James went against his upbringing as he stripped down while celebrating New Year’s Eve.
The 22-year-old hung out with a male friend and his brother Jason, 23 in the tub, which appeared to be in a garage.
The Counting On alum wore a pair of bright striped swimming shorts as he leaned against the edge of the tub, with his phone in his hands.
Jason shared the late-night photo on his Instagram Story with the caption, “Bringing in the New Years,” and a sunglasses emoji.
James is no stranger to breaking his family’s strict rules on social media.
Over the summer, he fled his family’s Arkansas home for a wild trip to Australia with a group of friends.
He filmed himself on a road trip with a group of pals, including several women.
This piqued the interest of Duggar fans because unwed children in the family are not allowed to spend time with people of the opposite gender without supervision.
