The Duggars: In the Media and TLC


Guest

As a reminder, the site's Politics Policy remains in effect.  Yes, Jim Bob is apparently running for office again. That does not make it an acceptable topic of conversation in here - unless for some mysterious reason, TLC brings the show back and it is discussed on there. Even then, it would be limited to how it was discussed on the show.

If you have any questions, please PM the mods, @SCARLETT45 and myself.

The same Reddit poster did one of the spouses (and Boob and Meech) as well.

I'm amused that Derrick is actually fairly attractive (or at least better than his male self), whereas Ben looks like himself with a wig. Kendra is pretty cute either way. Michelle is scary!

Anna: looks exactly like her youngest two brothers.

Derick: the love child of Kristen Stewart and Kate Middleton.

Bin: the annoying type A who hashtags everything with #girlboss and trolls Target looking for people to suck into an MLM.

Jeremy: Kardashian circa 2008.

Kendra, Lauren, Katey: cute either way. 

Michelle and Boob: ugh, no.

Kendra and Abbie are attractive in real life, but make horrible looking men!

Male Kendra looks like he could be a squeaky-clean star of a Disney series, possibly one set on a beach. Male Abby looks scarily like a younger version of Male Michelle! (I don't think the app really knows what to do wuth curly hair?)

The in-laws all look really good!

Jeremy looks like Bristol Palin.

Lauren looks exactly like herself, with just a different hairstyle. Not sure what that says about Lauren's actual face. 

Austin looks spot on like Katee Sackhoff.

Kendra looks like Haley Joel Osment.

I was a little thrown off by Katey because in the process of making her into a guy, the hair was darkened.

Derick looks like a friend I have who is now an assistant professor of music in Florida. But I can totally see the Kate Middleton connection.

Struggling to figure out who Anna and Abbie look like. I think Anna resembles someone else more than her brothers. Maybe Kyle Mooney? And for Abbie I was thinking Frankie Muniz except with curlier hair.

Meech looks like a hobbit extra from Lord of the Rings-I think it's the angle.

The thing that throws me is how much Boob and Bin look like sisters (or mother and daughter, I guess). The shape of their faces, and their smiles, look very much alike in those photos. But I've never thought that the photos of a young Jim Bob looked anything like Ben. Certainly their smiles are nothing alike, because JB has donkey teeth where Ben has cute little chicklets. Maybe there's some similarity, though... could have something to do with how enamored Michelle was of Ben when he first showed up, though.

i think so, too!  That must have been an old picture, because his looks have definitely taken a nosedive.  

It is - it was pre-braces and surgery.

I've always thought Bin looked more like Michelle than many of her own children, but I can see how he could look like Boob as well.

Do any of you remember the Nirvana album cover of a naked baby swimming after money? Well the now adult baby is suing all entities involved.

The Duggar and Bates better watch out. One of their kids might sue them one day for putting them out there on social media..

Really? I think I just read something about him. A few years ago, he posed  for an adult version of that same photo, so he was ok with it then. 
But you’re right - it’s not ok to put your kids out there for millions of complete strangers. This is different than just sharing with close friends and family.

I think Nirvana cover guy is grasping at straws by claiming the cover is pornography--also he is aiming low by only asking for 150k from each party and conveniently not suing his parents. I mean, if you're gonna sue, actually sue, dude! I bitched about this in another forum here, but I'm also confused by why he is naming Courtney Love as executor of Kurt's estate when she relinquished her share to Frances Bean about 10 years ago.

That being said, I can see why he isn't a fan of the cover since he was too young to consent to it, and his parents shouldn't have put him in that position. I wouldn't be surprised if the kids of these social influencers grow up to be super pissed off about all the pictures of them as children that are shared without their consent and consider legal action as adults, especially if they manage to break free.

At least that kid’s parents only did it once. These fools share this stuff daily!

So true! And I also don't know that anyone knew it was him for quite some time. With these kids, not only are the posts shared constantly, but there is also no pretense of not knowing exactly who they are with every picture.

Right. His classmates and their parents were probably unaware of it during his childhood.

I agree 100%! I figure he didn't sue his parents because they might retaliate by kicking him out of their basement! 😉

Oh he bragged about being the baby on the cover and recreated the cover many times. He even has Nevermind tattooed on his chest and now it's veeeery convenient that he's suing after "suddenly" feeling some other way. It's a pure money grab. And he's probably his own lawyer if he's suing Courtney. Or he has one of the dumbest attorneys around representing him.

Yes, it seems like he's tried to make a living off of being the baby on the album cover and, after multiple PR stunts over the years exploiting his role as an infant; he now finds that he cannot cash in any further and therefore has changed tacks and decided to sue the people who made his previous cash grabs possible.

Seems like a very Duggar-like thing to do.  Sort of like hiding the fact that your son molested your daughters for years and later trying to sue claiming that the daughters were scarred for life because your negligence allowed the abuse to become public knowledge.

It's a really weird, inept lawsuit.

And I say that, despite being a Nirvana fan, as someone who is very inclined to be sympathetic to someone who was not happy with a picture of that nature being disseminated without their consent.

I go back and forth with the Nirvana baby. It could be that he thought it was really cool for a time and then came to the realization that its messed up. But the suing for money thing, that makes me pause.

Yeah I actually don't begrudge him having a genuine change of heart, but nothing about the lawsuit itself makes any sense, especially the claim that the cover is child pornography.

And him being shocked he's not receiving royalties is also bafflingly delusional to me. He's not automatically entitled to royalties just because he appeared on the cover. Even famous album cover artists who actually create iconic album covers (like Storm Thorgerson) don't usually get royalties, let alone the models who pop up on them. And his dad was paid a $200 fee for the photo, so it's not like there was no compensation.

Maybe he should start by suing his dad for his share of the $200. 

Edited to add: I think he would have a stronger and more sympathetic case if it was a matter of lack of consent to appear rather than the direction he's going, and I'd imagine a similar argument of consent if a Duggar or other fundie kid went the same legal route.

JB and Michelle have always cherished their image as America's golden family. This will hurt them. Although I find somewhat hypocritical for people to be condemning the Duggar family while paying the Bates family for their announcements.

Unless you a Kardashian, or maybe Shelly Miscavige, People Magazine does not pay for exclusives.

"Do people get paid for being on a magazine cover?

For the most part, no, celebs are not paid for appearances on the cover or inside pages. People Magazine would go broke if they had to pay. Instead, the PR value of the photos, distributed to thousands or millions, stands as compensation."

It seems the Duggars are the only ones who did not pay their respects to the 20th anniversary of 9/11.

If by "the Duggars" you mean anyone in the family and not just the family account, and by "pay respects" you mean social media posts, both Jinger (a simple "never forget" post) and Jill (a lengthy post that included memories of where she was and how the family visited NYC a few months later) posted in their stories on Instagram.

With social media being such a performative thing, I don't think I'd hold posting/ not posting against anyone one way or another...

Thanks for the correction.

I agree that SM posts can seem disingenuous, but if you live your life on SM like the Bates, Duggars, etc, I think it says a lot about them if they ignore such a significant tragic event.

So yea, I kinda hold it against them.
