The Other Duggars: The Lost Girls and Amy

Why does she think any of this is happening to her? She’s said repeatedly that she had no idea anything was even going on.

Well, she lost the chance to appear on future Counting On episodes, and any marketing opportunities that could have come from that.

Miniscule compared to what the rest of the Duggarlings - and presumably at least some of the Kellers - are going through, but enough to anger her. 

[ginger90]

Amy just joined Cameo. She’s decided a video from her is worth someone spending $50..

[GeeGolly]

"TLC - Entrepreneur - Advocate"  🤨🤔🤣

[Nysha]

I admit that I don't see the draw in having a video recording with an actual celebrity, but why would anyone pay $50 for a Z list wanna-be?

I know it’s a rag.

This is so funny. Amy thinks the Kardashians are real and thinks Jill is a rebel. Amy is nuts.

[emmawoodhouse]

The article fucked up in its first paragraph. Famy never appeared on CO. 

[BigBingerBro]

Famy is so damn desperate to stay relevant and in the spotlight.  I can't even imagine what she will stoop to once people start forgetting them all.

[Tuxcat]

The video: Amy says people really love "au- then- tisy"   The article corrected her words and used  "authenticity."

And yeah the Kardashian's are "real." What?

She says the Duggar family should not get a second chance (um..third?) at reality TV. But she is totally willing to do a reality show - with Jill. I wonder if she would support Jinger? or Joy?

[SMama]

The last thing the Dillards need is involvement in a reality show. Derick is no longer half assing a fake missionary life. He’s already behind his peers due to his time spent chasing shiny objects.  Like some have already noted, it would be best for them to stay out of SM altogether.

I wonder how he explained his spotty work history in interviews.

Anyone seen the item (over on Reddit if you haven't) about 2 people from a well known family with a fuckton of kids are writing a tell-all? Cousin and other, apparently. People are speculating it's Amy and Jill. Personally, I don't see it. Amy has nothing to tell and I don't thnk Jill's the type for such a thing

Unless she has had a complete about-face, I don't see Jill doing it either.

I could see Amy and Derick trying to do this, but I think they'd be sadly surprised they don't know anything about the Duggars that the public doesn't already know. Plus Amy and Derick are truth twisters, so any book would be filled liars.

[Zella]

I have never gotten a writing a tell-all vibe from Jill either. When she has mentioned her estrangement with the family publicly, she has always done so with quite a bit more discretion than either Amy or Derick. My impression was that it pained her more than anything and that she didn't enjoy discussing it.

The Duggarsnark subreddit was having fun this weekend with shitposting and zero mod intervention.  I would check the timestamp on that post to see when it was posted.  Most likely, someone was having fun posting that.

It was from a blind item submitted to Deuxmoi. I saw the originial post on Deuxmoi. But anyone can submit things there and they are not vetted, just posted as is, so there is no way to check if it's legitimate. I thought about posting it here, but decided against it since it can't be verified, and I personally doubted it. I took it to be rumor/speculation or just wishful thinking. If it happens, we'll know about it then.

I don’t think his work history is out of the ordinary for someone his age.

He's 10 years past typical college grad age and has had only one fulltime job during that time, at least that I know of, and that was 5ish years ago. Depending on what he put on his resume, I would have questions about it during an interview.

He put his stint at Cross Church on his LinkedIn. That wasn't a job. He paid THEM. $12,000 IIRC. 

I can't believe it, but they've been married almost 8 years. He was at Walmart then. Aside from the law school internships, he hasn't had a steady job. I don't know what to call the "mission" stint in Danger America since he's now claiming they weren't compensated.

I bought a cameo once for an ex-she was a huge fan of a minor drag performer, and so I figured the cameo would be a cool gift as well as a way to support an artist who couldn't do much performing as this was the height of the pandemic. 

I do not know why anyone would want a message from Amy though...

I'm sure he put the time he spent as an missionary in the appropriate places on his resume, either counted his time at Cross Church as being in school or a pastoral/mission internship, and since then he has been in school getting a law degree. A lot of places would think his time in Nepal and South America is good experience in understanding other cultures and diversity. Also, since he was an xtian missionary, they're not going to question that he enrolled in a program at Cross Church for more training to become a better minister. 

His future employers may know he's part of the Duggar circus, but very few people in general take as much interest in their little lives as we do. As long as his references are good and nothing shows up on his background check his chances of being hired are as good as the next person's.

Yes, if anything, Derick's mission experiences are a plus in the search for a job.  It makes him a more well-rounded and culturally sensitive person in their eyes.  Almost any volunteer work can help set a candidate apart and many employers would like the idea of a guy who was out trying to make the world a better place without concern about making a buck.  Not that that's what Derick actually did, of course, but how he will spin it in interviews.

[ozziemom]

Hopefully none of Dreck’s co workers have seen the videos of him dancing or preaching or whatever he was doing in Danger America. They won’t be able to keep a straight face if they have! Or, I can just picture him talking to someone who got arrested for some minor thing and them being like, aren’t you the guy who was puking while jogging on TV?

Or the time at the trampoline park!!  😂😂 going through the obstacles. His new coworkers would just LOVE that!  

[Zella]

I think law school helps cover how spotty his job history is. Or makes it less noticeable than if he was job hunting immediately after that string of started and abandoned endeavors. It is something I'd side-eye if I was hiring because I'd wonder about his follow-through abilities. 

Then again, I have a couple of friends who have literally burned through 10+ jobs since graduation and they graduated later than Derick, and somehow people still keep fucking hiring them. And they still keep quitting for the most bizarre fucking reasons before a year is up. LOL

I wear dresses a lot in the summer (especially to work) but usually ones that are nice and airy. I currently have a striped tank dress and as the building is cool at work, I have a light button down shirt as a "jacket". It is going to be 100 today so it was a given to wear. 

I guess the others look "sporty" but if she likes it, she likes it. However, I do question if she actually went and bought it or if it was hanging in they communal closet? 

Quoting @libgirl2 from the Jinger thread. 

I highly doubt there’s a communal closet any more, there are a lot fewer people left at the TTH, and Johannah/Jennifer were the first girls in a long while, so likely they got new stuff and Jordyn/Josie will wear their hand me downs.

In my opinion that’s worth 2 cents, is that JB probably tells Jana how much she can spend on the minor kids clothes, and Jana takes the younger girls shopping/or lets them choose online and she orders it.

I didn't think about that. Good point. I guess than it is something she likes. I can't say I was a fashion plate at that age. Plus the others are older and more "worldly" than she is. 

[dargosmydaddy]

Honestly, I hope that's the case. The fact that Jennifer is frequently pictured in the same few ill-fitting dresses makes me wonder. (I don't know about this one, but there was that floral one that she was pictured in for like a solid year there...)

Johannah definitely favors the T-shirts and skirts, so I guess there's some choice and Jennifer just likes dresses... still hoping she runs for freedom someday! (Or at least moves in with Jill the minute she turns 18.)

How old is Jenni now? 15?- 14, she was born August 2007 (I looked it up) 

Thats a time a lot of kids experiment with different styles. If she chose it for herself more power too her, but I hate to think of her not having sunglasses if she needs them. She may have just forgotten them. 

[emmawoodhouse]

I think she dresses to hide her body. I recall her in something more form fitting and noted that she's a very busty young woman. Keeping pure and not letting boys stumble have likely been drummed into her head since Meech/Jana gave her her first box of maxi pads. 😢

[Tasya]

I agree; she's also much taller than the other girls. It always seems like she's hunched over and hiding her shape. I think she dresses like that because someone has told her she needs to look more "feminine".

I don't hate this dress, but it doesn't really go with her sandals, so I think that's the problem I'm having with it. Also, she never seems to be really smiling in any of the photos, which makes me sad. I don't think she needs to perform for the camera if she doesn't want, but she definitely sticks out in that photo with her sisters and not because of the dress.

I agree she looks sad. And she ALWAYS looks sad in every photo, even if it’s something “fun” (like a day on the pier). 

[GeeGolly]

There's a close-up of Jenny in another shot. She has braces and quite a bit of acne - that unfortunate teen stage. She might be feeling awkward right now, plus she doesn't seem to be into fashion at all.

She doesn’t look extremely busty to me. Maybe that’s because I really am, lol. I’d love to shrink mine down to her size.

It seems less feminine to be hunched over , to me.

[emmawoodhouse]

Trust me, she's busty. That's probably part of the reason she's so slouchy. It's definitely the reason she wears unflattering sacks.

It is also less feminine to be tall. Poor Jenni can't win because her natural body doesn't fit Gothard's ideal.

I imagine JB wouldn't have allowed it, but it might have been useful if Jenni spent more time with Jill.  Jill is taller than the rest, bustier, and has found a clothing style that fits her.
