Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar — the heads of the reality-tv famous Duggar family — have spoken out against Amazon Prime Video’s recent docuseries “Shiny Happy People: Duggar Family Secrets.” In a statement posted on their website, the husband and wife referred to the four-episode docuseries as “derogatory and sensationalized.”

“The recent ‘documentary’ that talks about our family is sad because in it we see the media and those with ill intentions hurting people we love. Like other families, ours too has experienced the joys and heartbreaks of life, just in a very public format. This ‘documentary’ paints so much and so many in a derogatory and sensationalized way because sadly that’s the direction of entertainment these days,” the statement said. “We have always believed that the best chance to repair damaged relationships, or to reconcile differences, is through love in a private setting. We love every member of our...

The stars of 19 Kids and Counting are battening down the hatches as they prepare themselves for the premiere of the explosive documentary, Shiny Happy People: Duggar Family Secrets. The new Amazon docuseries will grant unprecedented access to how the clan got their start. What first began as a wholesome family show quickly took a turn to the dark side, thanks to their multiple scandals.

For years, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar made a living by airing their conservative way of life. With 19 biological children, the Duggars had built a little army of Christian kids. They weren't allowed to watch TV, and had to dress modestly at all times. The Og series 19 Kids and Counting first aired on The Learning Channel in 2008, and was canceled in 2015. The eldest daughters, Jana Duggar, Jessa Seewald, Jinger Vuolo, Joy-Anna Forsyth, and Jill Duggar, were given a spin-off, Counting On. That show was...

Duggar family followers can’t wait for the release of Shiny Happy People: Duggar Family Secrets. Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar will be discussed at length in the miniseries, as the series focuses on the Iblp community. Some family followers are wondering what Jim Bob and Michelle are up to in 2023, as they don’t speak in the series. So, is Jim Bob Duggar in prison — and if not, what is he doing? Here’s what we know.

Jim Bob Duggar is not in prison in 2023. While his son, Josh Duggar, will spend another decade behind bars due to downloading child sexual abuse material, Jim Bob will not.

So, what is Jim Bob doing now? The ex-politician likely keeps up with his rental properties for work, as he no longer has reality TV for income. He...

With the release of Amazon's Shiny Happy People: Duggar Family Secrets, Amy Duggar King hasn't been afraid to attack her uncle, Jim Bob Duggar, noting he has been a hypocrite for years. Amy is the niece of Jim Bob, who grew up alongside her 19 cousins even though she lived a very different life. Now, the Arkansas native is speaking out.

Amy was shown several times on the Duggar's TV series 19 Kids and Counting. While the cameras rolled, she was frequently seen hanging out with her older cousins, Jana Duggar, Jessa Duggar, and Jinger Duggar Vuolo. In 2015, Amy married Dillon King and moved away from her famous family. Since Josh Duggar's conviction, Amy has spoken out against most of her family members who have forgiven Josh and even wrote a statement to the court. Naturally, her uncle was not thrilled by her behavior.

Jim Bob Allowed TV For Himself...

The stars of 19 Kids and Counting are preparing themselves for a bombshell documentary, Shiny Happy People: Duggar Family Secrets, and fans will have access to watch it. Thanks to their multiple scandals, the Duggar family has been popular on TLC for some time. What started off as a wholesome family show quickly turned sour, all because of their extreme beliefs.

Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, along with their 19 children, haven't been seen together since 19 Kids and Counting went off the air in May 2015. The eldest daughters, Jana Duggar, Jessa Seewald, Jinger Vuolo, Joy-Anna Forsyth, and Jill Duggar tried their hand at a spin-off, Counting On, but after a few more issues, that show was canceled in 2020. Jim Bob and Michelle brought their children up within a strict religious code that's often referred to as a cult. The influence of their religion guided them to make certain decisions and...

Joy-Anna Duggar and husband Austin Forsyth are celebrating the arrival of their third bundle of joy—a baby boy!

The two lovebirds exchanged vows in 2017 and share their son, Gideon, five, and daughter, Evelyn, two.

Duggar shared heartfelt snaps to her Instagram on Friday of herself resting in the hospital bed as she lovingly cradles her newborn while Forsyth eagerly leans in, creating a perfect family portrait.

The 19 Kids and Counting matriarch, Michelle Duggar, was recently spotted out with her daughters and wearing fitted jeans. Michelle has always been strict when it comes to her dress code and obeyed her husband, Jim Bob's rules. However, life may be changing for the Duggars, as Michelle takes her first step in modern attire.

Michelle's daughter, Jessa Seewald, posted a family reunion picture showing the 19 Kids and Counting star in a new light. Jessa stood with a few of her sisters, including Jana Duggar, Jill Duggar, Jinger Duggar, Joy-Anna Duggar, Johannah Duggar, Jennifer Duggar, Jordyn-Grace Duggar, and Josie Duggar, as she shared that as life gets busier, it means it is always "extra special" to get all nine sisters and their mother together.

Most noticeably, Michelle was breaking the modesty rules, and was smushed in between her nine children.

Every so often, it looks like Michelle Duggar will shake loose of her ultra-conservative Christian beliefs and don a pair of pants. Over the last year, the famous mother of 19 has tricked Duggar family followers and photographers several times by wearing a black skirt over black leggings, giving the illusion that she’s tossed aside her “skirts-only” attire in favor of pants. Recently, there were murmurings that Michelle had ditched the skirts after she appeared with her daughters in a group picture. Despite how it looked, she wasn’t wearing pants, and it doesn’t look like she is planning a big rebellion. Michelle Duggar will likely continue to dress in skirts and dresses in public for three reasons.

Michelle Duggar won’t wear pants because of Jim Bob Duggar

The Duggar family’s strict adherence to an ultra-conservative Christian ministry called the Institute of Basic Life Principles is no big secret.

Followers of the Duggar family and TLC's 19 Kids and Counting are learning via cousin Amy Duggar King that Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar didn't even allow their children to watch the Christian cartoon Veggie Tales. The family was raised with strict moral codes and was not allowed to take part in most normal activities. The girls were expected to wear long skirts and obey their father's rules.

As fans may recall, the 19 Kids and Counting cast includes Amy, the niece of Jim Bob who was often spotted on the show. Amy was brought up in a less conservative household. She could frequently be seen hanging out with her older cousins, Jana Duggar, Jessa Duggar Seewald, and Jinger Duggar Vuolo. Since leaving the show, Amy has been anything but a shrunken violet, and since Josh Duggar's conviction, she has spoken out against most of her family members, revealing the...

For months, Duggar family followers have theorized that Jinger Vuolo was quietly feuding with some of her siblings. Followers pointed to Jinger’s Instagram as proof, noting her siblings mostly ignored several important posts by Jinger. The 29-year-old author is now setting the record straight. She claims she is still closely connected to her sisters, but she was pretty quiet about her relationship with her brothers and much younger sisters.

Jinger Vuolo insists she’s still close to several of her sisters

Jinger Vuolo grew up in close quarters. The 29-year-old has 18 siblings and spent her entire childhood sharing a room with all of her sisters. Now living in California, she’s geographically far from her sisters but insists they maintain a close relationship. Well, at least some of them do.

In a recent interview with E! News, Jinger revealed that she maintains a close relationship with her older sisters,...

Jinger Duggar’s book, Becoming Free Indeed, proclaims that women are not allowed to move out of their parents’ homes until they are married. Most of the Duggars waited until they said “I do,” to forge their own path. That might only be the case for some, though. The rules have gotten a lot more relaxed lately. In recent years, several of the Duggar boys have opted to leave Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar’s house before they found a life partner. Now, it seems Jana Duggar made a move, too. There is a caveat, though. Just like two of her brothers, Jana hasn’t ventured all that far.

Jinger Vuolo was originally pinpointed by 19 Kids and Counting viewers as the family rebel. Following her marriage to Jeremy Vuolo, Jinger’s behavior wasn’t nearly as rebellious as viewers thought it would be. Her sister, Jill Dillard, became the more outspoken family member. Now, Jinger has wrestled back the trophy for the most rebellious Duggar daughter. In her upcoming memoir, Becoming Free Indeed, Jinger admits that her thought process about many of her family’s teachings is different now. During a recent interview, she admitted that traditional dating might be better than strict, controlled courtships. Her statements go against what her parents, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, preached for years.

Jinger Vuolo addresses dating and courtship in her upcoming memoir

Jinger Vuolo’s memoir Becoming Free Indeed, is set to be released at the end of January 2023. The book reportedly takes readers through Jinger’s journey away from her...

Duggar family member Jinger Duggar Vuolo is currently promoting her new book, Becoming Free Indeed. Within its pages, Jinger reveals how she disentangled faith from fear and why she believes her religious beliefs as a member of the religious group Iblp were harmful. However, in a new podcast interview, Jinger, the sixth of Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar’s 19 children, slipped about the religious doctrine that keeps women in their family homes until marriage and applies to her oldest sister, Jana.

In an interview with People Magazine, Jinger touched on her life as a member of the Iblp, a non-denominational religious group with a Christian slant. According to the group’s official website, the Institute of Basic Life Principles, or Iblp, is an umbrella organization for different Christian-based ministries.

19 Kids and Counting and Counting On alum Jinger Duggar, now Vuolo, has penned a tell-all memoir and is giving candid interviews in preparation for its release. And though she has the support of fans and followers, not many of her adult sisters have commented one way or the other.

After being featured in People, Vuolo, who married Jeremy Vuolo in 2016, turned to Instagram to share some pictures and insights. “I had a great conversation with People about my new book Becoming Free Indeed and how I’ve grown in my journey with God,” she wrote in the caption. “This has been such a heavy and, at times, difficult process, but I’m glad to be finally able to share it with you all!

Longtime viewers of 19 Kids and Counting are convinced that Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar's daughter, Joy-Anna Forsyth, is having a set of twins. The young mother is pregnant for the third time after deciding to grow her family with her husband, Austin. Joy-Anna was always a fan favorite on the TLC show, and her followers are loving her pregnancy updates.

While Joy-Anna has had a rough year, this bit of news is uplifting to the entire family. The touching announcement post showed Joy-Anna and Austin posing with their two children in the backyard. The couple is already parents to Gideon and Evelyn, but both have always wanted a large family. Even though she is no longer sharing her life on TLC, followers have kept a close eye on Joy-Anna, especially after her miscarriage.

The two have been friends for years, dealing with each other’s ups and downs.

Both are reality TV stars, though their respective shows have been canceled. Joy-Anna was on Counting On, and Carlin was part of Bringing Up Bates.

Their families are part of the Iblp and have been friends for a long time.

Carlin shared some fun photos of Joy-Anna and her hanging out with their kids and enjoying some fun time.

How long Joy-Anna will be staying with Carlin wasn’t clear.

Josiah Duggar and his wife, Lauren, have abandoned social media. They cleared their Instagram account last year, leaving only a handful of photos that sparked divorce concerns.

There’s also been speculation the couple welcomed a baby earlier this year, possibly a little boy, but neither Lauren nor Josiah confirmed it. Lauren was spotted looking pregnant in Jedidiah Duggar and Katelyn Nakatsu’s gender reveal video.

Without Counting On filming, the couple chose to live a more private life than some of the other couples. They aren’t into the YouTube videos of influencer posts.

Thanks to TLC, Jana Duggar has been in the public eye for well over a decade. Viewers who started following the family’s story during 19 Kids and Counting have essentially watched her go from a teenager to an adult right before their eyes. As one of the older Duggar siblings, Jana has often felt the spotlight a little more harshly than some of the younger children. Now 31-years-old, Jana has gotten a lot of attention over her decision not to marry. Recently, however, rumors have started to circulate that Jana may be in the process of being courted. While she

10 Things You Didn’t Know about Jana Duggar...

In 2020, several outlets began reporting that singer/songwriter Lawson Bates was in the process of courting Jana Duggar. Given the Duggar family’s very conservative beliefs, any new about them dating is always a big deal. On top of that, Lawson is a star in his own right thanks to his family’s reality show, Bringing Up Bates. Although the pair never officially confirmed that they were ever an item, that hasn’t stopped people from referring to Lawson as Jana’s ex. Even if the two did have something in the past, those days are long gone and it looks like Lawson has

#Twinning! Jeremy Vuolo took to Instagram on Wednesday, Oct 10, to share a sweet message for his big brother on his birthday. "I admire you in so many ways and am grateful to God for you," he captioned the shot. "You've already been an amazing uncle to my daughter; I look forward to sharing 'stories of Uncle Chuck' with her when she's a bit older. I love you more than I can say. Enjoy the day, bro."

Back in the day, the Duggar family was always having other big families over after meeting at conferences and bonding over their broods of children. One of those families was the Bates, and they used to appear on 19 Kids and Counting allllll the time. And then one day they pretty much just disappeared.

Jana Duggar is once again the center of attention after another Duggar wedding. Last night, Counting On aired the season finale and featured on the show was Josiah and Lauren as they exchanged their wedding vows. With her twin the next one set to tie the knot, when will the eldest Duggar daughter get married? There has been a lot of controversy regarding Jana Duggar and her single status over the years. The buzz about it really started after it was revealed that Josh Duggar had inappropriately touched several of his sisters a decade prior. Since then, Jana hasn’t been […]

The post Jana Duggar courtship: Will the Counting On big sister ever get married? appeared first on Monsters and Critics.

If you've been watching Counting On or were a fan of 19 Kids and Counting, then you already know that the Duggars live by strict sets of rules when it comes to the way that they can dress, interact with members of the opposite sex (including their siblings), and go on dates. There are also rules about social media — namely, that you're not allowed to have any until you're married or at least engaged. But recently, Jessa Duggar set out to debunk that myth on an Instagram album of Jana Duggar and Jessa's trip to the store to buy more than a dozen pumpkins. When fans saw the post, they were excited to see more shots of the oldest Duggar daughter out and about. And in the comments, they wanted to know how they could find her own social media accounts. "What is Jana's Instagram handle? I'd like to follow her x,...

They're getting cute and cozy! John David Duggar and Abbie Grace Burnett got engaged in July (just one month after they announced their courtship) and now, they can't stop posting Pda pics on social media. After taking a nearly two-month hiatus from their joint Instagram account — possibly to plan their November wedding — John and Abbie returned for a set of two Pda-packed photos and fans noticed that they broke a major Duggar courting rule in the first shot. "Even if I spend the whole day with you, I miss you the second you leave. #mygreatestadventureisyou," the caption read. In the shot, John, 28, and Abbie, 26, were almost in a full-frontal hug with his hands around Abbie's waist and Abbie's hand on John's chest. That type of contact goes against the Duggar family's rules that state courting or engaged couples should only give each other side hugs in order to keep themselves...

Mmm? 'Tis the season for chef Jill Duggar to whip up one of her favorite fall dishes: taco soup, which happens to be full of canned ingredients. The former Counting On star has a reputation for her food faux pas and although she seemed to be adding fresh vegetables to the mix for a bit — Jill's seemingly gone back to her old ways with this latest recipe! "I can’t help but to snatch a few bites from the pot while it’s simmering on the stove," the 27-year-old wrote in a new blog post. "For awhile, my mom made this about every Friday evening when they would host a Bible study at their house. She’d usually triple the recipe to make it 'Duggar Sized.' It’s easy to throw together and easy to keep hot on the stove or in a crock pot." Jill opted for canned tomatoes,...

Such a rebel! Jinger Duggar's brothers visited her in Texas this week and they decided to live a little during their trip, even breaking one of the Duggar rules. Fans are loving how the Counting On star encouraged her siblings to walk on the wild side by buying something new! The Duggars are known for bargain shopping in thrift stores, pawn shops, furniture auctions, and yard sales. Jim Bob and Michelle had 19 children to take care of, so they always made sure to spend wisely. This was even shown on a recent episode, when Jessa, Ben, Kendra, Joseph, Lauren and Josiah picked out date night outfits for each other at a thrift shop.

When it comes to date night, Jill Duggar wants to be treated right — and so she's putting her foot down to husband Derick Dillard by setting clear boundaries for what is a date and what isn't. And, well, it looks like some of their recent outtings just haven't lived up to expectations. The former Counting On star took to Twitter to share their new standards.

When it comes to gender reveal parties, the Duggars have already had plenty, so if you want yours to be original, you've got to get pretty creative. That's what Jinger Duggar and Jeremy Vuolo did when they decided to host an obstacle course party, splitting the family into two teams to compete to see which set of grandparents would get the chance to actually reveal the gender of the couple's baby. But Jing and Jer might have gotten a little too creative when planning the game. In fact, it seems like a whole bunch of their family members, both Duggars and Vuolos, were just not super into it. In the competition, the teams were required to chow down on ice cream as fast as they can, spin in circles, hula hoop, hop around, and crawl through a small tunnel fit for mainly five-year-olds.

They're still going strong. It's official: Anna Duggar and her husband Josh Duggar have been married for 10 years as of Sept. 26, and the Duggars celebrated their anniversary with a thoughtful message. The couple tied the knot in 2008 and they have five children together. The Duggar Family Official Facebook page celebrated the milestone by posting a series of photos with a special message. By the looks of it Anna and Josh are still doing well, although the past decade has been filled with good and bad times for the pair, as their marriage was rocked by scandal in 2015.

It's hardly news that the Duggar kids don't go to school in the traditional sense. Instead, they stay home and are homeschooled by mom Michelle Duggar — or, more recently, oldest sis Jana Duggar and her Bff Laura DeMasie. But things just may be changing now that Derick Dillard is off at law school and bringing his wife Jill Duggar along to his classes for date nights. On this week's episode of Dishin' on the Duggars, we're talking about the state of everyone's education — and, of course, everything else that's been going on this week. Jim Bob Duggar showering his wife in compliments? We're on it. Gideon Forsyth being an adorable baby? We wouldn't miss it. Josiah Duggar and Lauren Swanson heading out on a married adventure? You know we've got something to say about the family's Rv trips. Listen in to the podcast in full above, and check out the highlights below.

Check out his fresh 'do! Jessa Duggar recently shared a three-part video showing her giving Henry Seewald his very first haircut, and she even utilized hubby Ben Seewald's help, as well as big brother Spurgeon. The Counting On star was methodically trimming Henry's blonde locks and the end result was too cute.

"Sometimes it's good to pay a professional. With proper training," one wrote. "Always cut on the top of your fingers, not below. You risk cutting yourself and your client (or child) if you go below. Your fingers should always be between the scissors and the scalp," another chimed in. Luckily, she handled that nay-sayers like a pro while responding. (Credit: Instagram...

'Tis the season — for cute baby pics featuring all kinds of flannel and pumpkins and fun costumes. Just a few days ago, we officially celebrated the first day of fall — and so did the Duggar family. Joy-Anna Duggar and her husband Austin Forsyth must've been feeling particularly festive, because they took to Instagram to welcome the new season on Monday, Sept. 24. Though they don't post too often, they did take the opportunity to share a new pic of their son Gideon on their Instagram story, and it was just too cute. The photo featured their little one crawling outside on the grass in the crisp autumn air. And, of course, he's wearing the requisite flannel — as well as the biggest smile we've ever seen. "It's Fall yall!!!" his family captured the sweet shot. Photo Credit: Instagram We're pretty much in love with this photo. Really, any picture of Joy's son can basically melt our hearts.
