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.
Even though Amy Duggar has a strained relationship with Jim Bob because she lives life like a normal person, fans have always loved her.
... Until now, that is. A recent photo has even her longtime followers up in arms.
It's not really a secret that Jim Bob Duggar keeps Amy away from his kids, even though they're her cousins. He's a toxic, controlling douchecanoe.
But now, fans are wondering -- or at least hopeful -- if one major life milestone has set things right and softened Jim Bob's stance.
It's been five months since Amy Duggar welcomed her first child.
Obviously, becoming a parent is a major milestone in anyone's life, but it's of particular importance in Amy's case, as she comes from a family that's famous for one thing, and one thing only -- breeding.
In October, Amy Duggar welcomed her baby boy! Unlike some of her cousins, Amy hasn't been shy about keeping it real with her followers.
Now, she's showing her equally real post-baby body, and reminding everyone that they don't need to look "perfect."
Amy Duggar has a lot of time on her hands these days.
In a very specific way, that is.
It's been three months since Amy Duggar welcomed her first child, and it seems that like most new moms, Amy has undergone a change in that time.
Somehow, she's both more patient with her Instagram followers and less willing to put up with their crap.
As we've documented in the past, Amy Duggar is not a huge fan of Derick Dillard.
If you'll recall, she once slammed him for being an insensitive jerk.
Back in October, Amy Duggar welcomed her first child.
Naturally, she's been eager to show little Daxton off on Instagram, and naturally, her page has been overrun by fans gushing about hos cute he is.
The latest season of Counting On came to an emotional end on Tuesday night.
Fans who peered ahead knew they were in for a difficult viewing if they looked at the episode titled ("Grandma Duggar Remembered"), along with the official TLC synopsis.
