Amy Duggar Briefly Saw Anna Duggar After ‘Shiny Happy People’ Drama: ‘Looked So Ticked at the World’

Amy Duggar King finally reunited with her cousin Josh Duggar’s wife, Anna Duggar, after several years of estrangement.“We have news!

We saw Anna,” Amy, 36, said in a Friday, August 4, TikTok video with her mother, Deanna Jordan. “I was hugging my friend’s mom and I looked up and [Anna] was literally a couple inches away from me.”Amy and Deanna — who is Jim Bob Duggar’s older sister — had attended the visitation earlier that day for a mutual friend of the family who died, and Anna, 35, also appeared to pay her respects.“Oh my God, she looked so angry,” Deanna, 61, chimed in before Amy noted that Josh’s wife “looked so ticked at the world” during the memorial.“She’s obviously right there in front of me, so I go, ‘Oh,’ completely startled that I’m literally seeing her face after years,” Amy said on Friday. “I said, ‘Anna,’ and I kind of patted her back and she said, ‘Just give me space.’ I gave her space, I didn’t make it a big deal and I walked away.”Amy then speculated that Anna — who married Josh, 35, in 2008 before welcoming seven kids — “knows that I have been talking about her” and “how I’ve been trying to reach her.” Deanna further explained that she did not even attempt to hug Anna to respect the claims about needing space.“She obviously knows that I’m putting it out there that ‘Anna, you don’t have to be alone in this.

We’re here for you, we’re gonna protect your children,’” Amy said. “But y’all, she made it clear tonight though that she does not want our help, she does not care for our help and that she’s gonna do whatever Anna does.”Deanna also explained that they still “love” Anna and her kids, hoping they can be “free” from disgraced minister Bill Gothard and the Institute of Basic Life Principles’ “nut job”
