I'm pretty sure the deleted video was posted here. It's the one where she said she wasn't trying to be "irrelevant." At least I think that's the one. I didn't see any other videos from Amy in the past week other than that one and the apology one. 

Yeah I didn't actually watch any of the videos and usually avoid the whole family's videos. (I made an exception for Amish Paradise Ben. LOLOL) I do remember the discussion from earlier this week wherein she seemed to be on a soapbox about haters, but I'd assumed she meant snarkers and didn't realize things had gotten perceived as weirdly personal toward someone.

While I generally find the Duggars' views on gender roles reprehensible, learning to sew is a great skill to have, whether as a hobby or a career.  Sure, these girls probably weren't offered a chance

Ah, yes, Duggar Family Official. So deeply concerned about the unborn.  But when it comes to the born-but-then-dropped-after-six-months-like-a-hot-potato-people, they don't concern you a bit

Yeah, I thought she was addressing the snarkers as well. I had no clue it was aimed at that Backwoods Barbi person. I got curious and checked out her YT. She had a 30 minute video on KJ and Amy. I made it about one minute, but it was easy to see where Amy got her redneck reference from; BB spoke with a very thick Southern drawl and didn't seem too bright. Or I didn't get her humor? I am curious about her side since she and KJ apparently have a history. 

KJ seems to burn a lot of bridges and blame others for her woes. She doesn't seem to make the connection that she is the problem.

Amy's original video was about people who look to say something negative about everything she posts. She talked about everything she says or does is critiqued. bangs, fashion, chickfla, etc and she spoke in a heavy accent (her normal). Jill even commented on it being funny and on point.  So I don't think Amy brought Backwoods Barbi into it, KJ did.  

Backwoods Barbi seems really nutty and an over reactor.

Yea, Amy was very clear she was addressing haters in the original video, which makes the three way cat fight even funnier/sadder. It appears Miss Crystal Balls is an even more special kind of crazy, than I originally thought.

My assumption was that Backwoods Barbi was included in the group of haters Amy was referring to but that video wasn't explicitly about her.  But I could easily see how it had nothing at all to do with BB and KJ just jumped on the chance to use Amy as validation that she's in the right in her feud with BB.

I watched her CB a time or two then she went live and was being sued and fighting with others like her. 

She seemed to be getting Dugger info from a source. Then it was revealed the source was Amy and now they’re fighting. 

It’s a deep, dark hole they are all dwelling in. 

Amy would do much better minding her own business but she so wants to be a somebody!

So three grown ass women, who have never met, are duking it out on SM. The only thing missing is Derick. 😁

And none of these people have anything else to do with their time?  Come to my house and I'll give them a few chores.

And here I am hoping that the deer visit my backyard often this winter . 

Better your backyard than the Duggar's.  At least they eat the meat.  In many parts of the country, due to urbanization and lack of predators, there are more deer than land to sustain them.  That causes them to roam into urban/suburban areas where they are often hit by cars and can cause a lot of damage, both to cars and gardens, trees and flowers.  
 

I don't have a lot of problem with deer hunting as long as the meat is put to use and it helps to keep the population of deer at a manageable level so they aren't dying of disease and starvation.

I'm guessing gun season for deer hunting as opposed to bow season.

Yeah, I've got a cousin who hunts and who lives in a rural area where a lot of people do the same.  They always refer to deer season in terms of what weapons are legal when; so there's 'bow season' and 'gun season'.  As I recall, bow season comes first.

Jinx!  Started writing just as Zella was posting.

It’s almost scary to read the humpers’ comments on Facebook anytime anything about Josie is posted.  People almost claiming her as their own as they’ve prayed for her and followed her story since Day 1.  I can never never imagine exploiting my child for fame and profit the way Boob and Mullet, or any other reality show families have.  I feel so bad for all the awkward embarrassing moments of those kids’ lives that have been shown to millions and can continue to be found online.  And all without their consent.  Awful parents, all of them.

I wouldn’t have chosen the second and fourth pictures.

I wouldn't have chosen the first one, either.

Do they really have no pictures of their child where she is dressed nicely, and her hair is neatly styled?

I will say that she at least looks happy, her clothes are clean, and some attempt has been made with the hair, but really, that's the best they have?

I've always thought that Josie's hair must be different than her mother's and sisters' hair. I think hers is thinner and basically more flyaway. IMO her clueless mom and sibs don't know how to deal with Josie's hair - and apparently can't be bothered to notice that it's different or learn how to take care of it, if they have noticed.

I was a little blonde kid with flyaway hair that rarely looked nice in photos, so I can relate to Josie. Thinking back, the only time my hair looked really nice was in a photo taken when I was in second grade for a newspaper article; my teacher actually brought bobby pins and worked on my hair beforehand (wet it, combed the bangs, set the side curls and combed it all out when dry). My stepmom was a sweetie but she could be incredibly oblivious to some things and I think my hair was one of them, lol. 

I hope somebody at the TTH is getting better at styling Josie's hair, but my expectations are low. She'll probably have to figure it out for herself when she gets older.

From Joy, I guess. I saw her comment on Joy’s IG that she missed her neighbor.

Looks like a townhome to me too.

I agree, I think its a townhome/condo and not a single family home.

I can see townhome/condo, but because they have a kid, I'm leaning toward a single family home.

Maybe that's the garage to the right and main part of the house to the left. And after looking more closely I don't think it is all that big. It looks like a cheaply made smaller McMansion that couldn't decide whether to be French Country or Colonial.

Maybe Amy knew nothing, but I find it very hard to believe Deanna didn't know what was happening. Between Grandma Mary and all the gossip going around, how could she not know?

Both could be true. Deanna could’ve made sure someone was always with her without telling her about it. 
But yes, it’s odd.  Deanna and her mother were very close. I can’t imagine they didn’t talk.

Two things can be true. Deanna and Mary were always with Amy at the TTH, and now that she’s an adult these events have answered why.

Who knows what Mary actually knew? She wasn't living with the family when Amy was growing up. Amy was also so deemed a "bad influence" and has said before that she wasn't allowed at the TTH by herself until she was filmed for the show (she would have been 21).

Is anyone actually asking Amy why she didn't do anything when Josh abused his sisters, or is she simply inserting herself for the likes again?

Because she's always full of whichever shit might fit the current narrative. If Mary and Deanne knew about Josh and they were concerned enough to never let her go to the TTH alone, then they are as vile as JB and Michelle for being happy to jump on the TLC gravy train. Amy essentially said that her oh-so-concerned mom was totally cool with her minor daughter going to the TTH to make the Duggars--including Josh--look good for the cameras. 

I can imagine that Deanne didn't know about the abuse before we did. JB and Michelle seemed to not confide in anyone who wasn't part of their church. Mary, I'm not too sure about. I would guess she also was unaware, except that "Alice" practically described her as the power behind the throne, and considering how spot on she was on everything else, I'm going to believe Alice on Mary. And if Mary really was ruthless in supporting her son, she likely wouldn't have told Deanne anything.

Amy wasn't in the early specials when she would have been a teen. Her first appearance was Smuggar's wedding episode in 17 Kids et al. She's a year older than Smuggar, so she was 21 when she debuted.

That's what I thought originally, that they kept Amy safe without telling her why. Then I read this from BigBingerBro's post, and Amy is now saying her mother didn't know. If her mother (and possibly grandma) didn't know, what were they keeping her safe from?

This post here leaves me with so many questions. How was Deanna "never told the truth over and over again"? Did Josh's time at camp come up over and over again? And how is this "division" a long time coming if they found out when we did? 

Amy would do better just to say, it was a long time ago and its not her circus, not her monkeys, and let it go.

But she seems to be unable to.
