Amy Duggar: Last News

Jim Bob Duggar isn’t the only family member from which Amy Duggar King is estranged.

Well, this is horrifying. Not that we’re terribly surprised to learn there’s even more about Josh Duggar still to come out…

We’ve been saying it for years now. Jim Bob Duggar practices a sexist and controlling form of religion — and should never have been given a platform on reality TV.

We’ve heard from several of Josh Duggar‘s family members since his prison sentence was handed down this week. Though we are talking about the 19 Kids and Counting clan here, so in the grand scheme 3 or 4 Duggars is nothing.

OK, seriously? Gross!

Amy Duggar King is releasing a sigh of relief after her cousin, Josh Duggar, was sentenced to 151 months, more than 12 years, in prison for child pornography. The former 19 Kids and Counting family member took to Instagram to share her thoughts on the case and be transparent with her followers about her emotional process throughout the proceedings. “I can breathe,” Amy said in a video that she noted was purposely unfiltered. “I knew him getting the maximum sentence wasn’t going to be the easiest to prove since it’s his first offense in the judge’s eyes — which I hate -- but at the same time, he cannot have his computer, he cannot hurt [and] exploit any more children and when he sees his kids, he has to be supervised,” she explained. Josh shares seven children with his wife, Anna, 12-year-old Mackynzie, Michael, 10, Marcus, 8, Meredith, 6, Mason, 4, Maryella, 2, and 7-month old Madyson.A post shared by Amy King (@amyrachelleking)Josh was initially found guilty of receiving and possessing child pornography, a federal charge, in December 2021.

Not backing down. Amy Duggar is speaking out after her cousin Josh Duggar was sentenced to 151 months in prison on child pornography charges.

Amy Duggar wrote a letter to the judge asking for cousin Josh Duggar to get the “maximum sentence” ahead of his sentencing hearing.

The power of the keyboard. Amy King (née Duggar) wants Anna Duggar (née Keller) to know that there is no shame in divorcing husband Josh Duggar amid his child pornography trial — so she wrote her an open letter.

Amy Duggar is not done putting her family members on blast for supporting her cousin, Josh Duggar, despite him being convicted for receiving and possessing child pornography. But this time, she is directly calling out his wife, Anna Duggar.

Amy Duggar cannot BELIEVE members of her family asked the judge to grant cousin Josh Duggar a smaller sentence for his child pornography crimes, and frankly, neither can we!

Amy King (née Duggar) has long spoken out against many of her cousins in the Duggar family — but never moreso than ahead of Josh Duggar’s child porn sentencing.

Not backing down. Amy Duggar continued to defend her cousin Jana Duggar after her recent child endangerment misdemeanor made headlines earlier this month.

Speaking out. Amid the news that Jana Duggar was charged with a misdemeanor, cousin Amy King (née Duggar) has broken her silence with a supportive message.

Amy Duggar was happy to hear on December 9 that her cousin Josh Duggar was found guilty by a jury in his child pornography case. The 35-year-old said on Twitter that “justice has been served” immediately following Josh’s guilty verdict. The former reality star, 33, now faces up to 20 years in prison, as well as $250,000 in fines, with a sentencing date to come. “May the daughters who were abused feel validated,” Amy said on Twitter. “You are truly beautiful and worthy of love. May there be intense counseling / healing. May there be wisdom for all those involved on how to move forward. Thank you Jesus. Justice has been served.”

Sigh of relief. Before Josh Duggar was found guilty in his child pornography trial, Derick Dillard made his stance on the subject abundantly clear.

Finding her own path. Amy Duggar earned a reputation as the rebellious cousin throughout her extended family’s tenure on 19 Kids and Counting and Counting On.

Hoping for change. Amy Duggar seemed to make her stance clear as her cousin Josh Duggar awaits his sentencing in his ongoing child pornography trial.

Amy Duggar, 35, was one of the first members of Josh Duggar‘s family to speak publicly about the start of the trial in his child pornography case. The cousin of the 33-year-old reality star shared messages that appeared to include prayers about “vengeance” and more on her Twitter and Instagram pages shortly before the trial began on Nov. 30.
