As you've likely heard by now, Meghan Markle's interview with Oprah drew a massive audience and created some serious controversy on Sunday night.
The reason it resonated with millions of people is simple:
Amy Duggar has never shown much interest in the ultra-strict system of rules that her cousins are forced to follow.
And while the decision to follow her own conscience has lead to Amy being banished from Jim Bob and Michelle's house, it's also allowed her the freedom to do what she wants with her life, rather than being forced to follow the path laid out for her by her famous uncle.
For several years, Jinger Duggar had a reputation as the most rebellious member of her family.
Jinger was the first to wear pants among her sisters; she married a man her father wasn't crazy about, and together, the two of them moved out of state.
Jim Bob Duggar just got put in his place.
By his very own sister.
Well, we probably don't need to tell you, but the polls have been closed for nearly 48 hours now, and we still don't know who will be sworn in as president on January 20.
But we do know who the members of the Duggar family voted for -- or at least most of them.
Amy Duggar is absolutely disgusted right now.
And for good reason.
Amy Duggar recently admitted two things:
ONE, she isn't very close to her more famous family members.
Looking back, perhaps we should have known this day would come.
In retrospect, it seems obvious that Jill Duggar would eventually be the first of her many siblings to really rebel against Jim Bob Duggar.
Amy Duggar is nothing if not honest.
The estranged member of this famous family always tells it like it is when it comes to her relatives, saying recently, for example, that Jim Bob is totally secretive and shady.
The last thing Jim Bob Duggar wants is any of his children thinking for themselves or making their own decisions.
And if they insist on doing so, he would probably prefer that that they 1. quickly become miserable and return to his way of doing things, and 2. keep the whole experiment a secret.
Jinger Duggar has a reputation as one of the more progressive-minded members of her ultra-conservative family.
Last week, however, she said something that had many fans wondering if they'd given her a bit too much credit.
Amy King can't say a whole lot about the Duggars.
She can't spill very many family secrets, as badly as she may want to.
Amy Duggar was already on thin ice when she condemned racism while implying that the rest of her extended family may feel different.
Now, she may be in even more trouble after revealing that Jim Bob controls everything that she says ... with an NDA.
These are strange times for the Duggar family.
Counting On Season 11 is just around the corner, which means that the family is in promotional mode, attempting to drum up ratings by focusing on the more wholesome aspects of life inside reality TV's biggest brood.
In June of 2019, Counting On fans were stunned by the death of Mary Duggar, mother of Jim Bob and a longtime reality TV veteran.
Mary was 78, but she was in robust health, and her death came without warning.
ATTENTION, Jim Bob Duggar:
Your niece has a message for you.
The Duggars are a polarizing family.
This may be the most understated sentence ever written on this celebrity gossip website.
