usmagazine.com:

Not mincing words. Amy Duggar King had a strong message for her uncle Jim Bob Duggar following the release of the Duggar docuseries Shiny Happy People.“It all kind of boils down to this, right?” King, 36, began in a TikTok video shared on Thursday, June 8. “If you’re not going to protect those beautiful daughters from a predator that was living inside of your home and you knew about it, and you’re gonna sweep it under the rug and your mentality is kinda just to brush it off and to hide it and to lie, not only do I not respect you anymore, but I also don’t want to give you a right to get to know my child.

Because I will protect my child at all costs.”King was referring to her cousin Josh Duggar, who is the eldest son of Jim Bob, 57, and his wife, Michelle Duggar.

In 2015, Josh, 35, was accused of molesting several underage girls when he was a teenager. His sisters Jill and Jessa were later identified as two of the victims.

In an interview with Megyn Kelly at the time, they defended their family, saying that they had “already forgiven” their brother.Years later, Jim Bob claimed that he couldn’t recall the details of Josh’s alleged admission that he’d touched the victims. “We were shocked this had happened but we were thankful he came on his own and told us,” the Duggar patriarch said in November 2021 while testifying on behalf of Josh, who was on trial for receiving and possessing child pornography.
