duggars: Last News

After Jinger Duggar Vuolo broke free from her strict household in Arkansas, she and her husband headed to Texas, but salvation wasn’t found there.“I was in Laredo for two and a half years,” the 31-year-old recalled to Fox News Digital. “As we were leaving Texas, one of the ladies in our community said, ‘I’m going to miss you, but I also feel like I didn’t get to know you.

the documentary explores the Duggar family — headed by Jim Bob Duggar, 57, and his wife, Michelle Duggar, 56 — who became reality TV stars thanks to their TLC series, “19 Kids and Counting.” They became mired in scandal when the couple’s oldest offspring, Josh, 35, was accused of molesting five girls (including some of his sisters), which led to the show’s cancellation in 2015. He was sentenced to 12 and a half years in prison last May, in a separate case, for possessing and receiving child pornography. His sister Jill Duggar Dillard, 32, who was one of his victims, speaks out in the doc. “I don’t even like to talk about it because it’s not something that I’m proud of,” she said on-screen, referring to the infamous 2015 Megyn Kelly interview in which she and her sister Jessa confirmed that their brother had molested them but defended him from being labeled a “child molester, pedophile or rapist.” She revealed that she felt “obligated to do it” and pressured by her father, for the sake of trying to save their family’s reality show. “There was an urgency in trying to figure out how the show was going to be handled in the wake of the 2015 events,” she said. “As far as recovery and damage control, you just feel like a burden and the weight falls on you to help.”Her husband, Derick Dillard (whom she married in 2014) described her Megyn Kelly interview as a “suicide mission.” He said, “I would not call it voluntary.“Like, ‘You’re gonna destroy yourself, but we need you to take the fall so we can carry the show forward because the show cannot fail.’ [The Duggars] were gonna do whatever they could to get the return on their investment.

Duggar docuseries say they were “shocked” by the “far-reaching quality” of the infamous family’s controversial church.“Shiny Happy People: Duggar Family Secrets” claims to “expose the truth” about how The Institute in Basic Life Principles (IBLP) negatively affected the extensive reality TV family.Guided by parents Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, the children were raised with IBLP’s strict teachings — such as women should be obedient to their husbands, and everyone should avoid dating, listening to music with drums, and following pop culture.The religious organization that became IBLP was founded by 88-year-old minister Bill Gothard in 1961. He has since been forced out under allegations of abuse — accusations he has denied.Docuseries executive producer Olivia Crist told People that those who worked on this project discovered “how far and wide the IBLP ideology went.”“It went into our police system.

Both Jill and Amy have previously spoken out about their upbringings in the organization.“As details of the family and their scandals unfold, we realize they’re part of an insidious, much larger threat already in motion, with democracy itself in peril,” the new series’ logline reads.“The biggest feature of Bill Gothard’s teachings is authority,” one woman said in the trailer.

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.”
