Amy just posted an IG story and she is glammed up.  It was a shout out to Jinger saying she loves and supports her and that she is going on Inside Edition to talk about how harmful IBLP and how far Jinger has come, etc.  https://www.instagram.com/stories/amyrachelleking/3028091348153957953/

OMG, could someone please shut this woman up?

Doubtful. 😬

What's so comical to me is that the "tea" Amy spills is all stuff that any reasonably observant Duggar viewer would have long ago just assumed. Oh, Jim Bob didn't allow Veggie Tales in his house for some ridiculous reason? Yeah, no shit. The specific incidents might be "news" but it's not revealing any new information about them.

I guess it's safe to assume that the NDA has aged out?

"NDA." Yeah, funny how she had to dramatically pull out of an interview because of this previously never mentioned NDA and now it doesn't seem to be an issue at all.

If I believed this NDA exists, I'd side with JB if he were to sue her.

Can we shut both her and Jinjer up? 🤣

I hear you, Jinger is getting near the point of overexposure. But I'm 100% behind Jinger's message of examining one's beliefs to see if it fits who you are now. I'm 100% onboard with her respectfully standing against her parents' messages.

I'll never get behind Amy inserting herself in places where she doesn't belong and talking as if she has tea to spill when she doesn't.

Jinger's current round has a shelf life and is driven by the publisher.  It will end any moment now.

Hey Famy, they cut you out of the show! Jinger got in her "cult-like" reference though. 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[Zella]

Wait did Inside Edition cut Amy?!?! 

We need to brace ourselves. I can't even imagine what kind of a hissy fit she's gonna pitch on social media. LOL Maybe another one of her "sermons" about jealousy. 😂

Yes, no Famy in the Jinger segment. I wonder if any of her fangirls noticed? I'm sure Famy watched and recorded, complete with wine in hand, as she anticipated her return to television. 😂😂😂😂

This is my feeling about the whole concept of a "tell all" from any of them.

What are they going to say that we don't know?

JB and J'chelle weren't good parents? By any possible metric, we all know that. They covered up the sexual abuse of their own daughters for God's sake. J'chelle "didn't have a heart" for children. JB and J'chelle had "anger management issues." They used the Pearl method of "training up" their children.

They didn't provide a healthy and stable home for their children? We know that, too. They covered up the sexual abuse of their own daughters for God's sake. They had 17(?) people crammed into a 3 BR house. Once they got a larger house, the continued to cram their children into "dorms" and specifically and actively provided them with no privacy. The children were seen scrounging for food, collecting "love offerings" left on the doorstep, and eating beans out of a can and cold oatmeal in a cup. 

That they belong to a cult? The biggest tell on this is that JB regularly states "I don't belong to a cult." Instead of contacting authorities when Josh molested his sisters, they went to Gothard elders. Their children aren't allowed out of the house and aren't allowed to mingle with heathens. Their comically bad homeschooling has been shown on national television, but is necessary to prevent their kids from learning any outside ideas. The girls wear long skirts -- with pants under them -- and style their hair in banana curls. They "court." They engage in "side hugs," and don't allow their toddlers to dance because it could stir up "urges."

I don't know what a tell-all could give us that we don't already know. Maybe Josh molested more kids? Maybe they were beaten more than we know? I don't know, and I don't think I'd want to read about more abuse than I've already seen.

The only value to Jinger's book, is that it gives us a window on how it acutally felt to grow up in that environment -- not good. I think that's why the humpers are so furious with her. Not for outing her parents and Gothardism, but for letting people know how scared and isolated she was. That's something that we can relate to . . .

It's not about them spouting things about their parents or their lifestyle we already know, it's about them recognizing and acknowledging what we already know.

From the interviews I have seen, it appears that Jinger does acknowledge fault, but she consistently blames Gothard. She seems to ignore the role her parents played in delivering the information to her. They are every bit as guilty as Gothard in terms of indoctrinating the kids.

I’m hoping it will show up on Kindle Unlimited or that the digital price will fall to under $10 (it’s just under $14 now). 

[Absolom]

I have it free from the library.

They are MORE guilty than Gothard, imo.

This is the only way. I wouldn’t pay one cent for it.

I suppose Jinger has a hard time blaming her parents because SHE believes that THEY  believe they were doing the right thing. They themselves are brainwashed—still.

That's exactly the feeling I got based on what she's said in her interviews. She's not making the connection that they fed her the Gorhardism from the time she exited the womb. 

Intellectually, she knows this. She just chooses to ignore it to save the relationships.

I try not to pile on Amy because I deeply suspect there are so many horrible things that went on by JB that we will never know or understand. That said, she has a short video of Dax, Sam, and Izzy on an inflatable jumping thing. The boys faces are clearly visible. Why do that when the parents seem to avoid it now? But Jill must have been there because they went junk thrift shopping together, so Jill must be OK with the video.

Izzy's hair is so dark now. Where does Amy put all the crap she buys?

I have to laugh, Amy showed a little girl smashing eggs under plastic as a suggested activity. The problem is eggs are so expensive now it'd probably be cheaper to go to Chuck E. Cheese. JK😁

Where does Jill? 😂

I can get carried away buying things my kids enjoy(ed), thus the need for a Lego room. But I’m always amazed when Amy and Deanna shop. Deanna must have a lot of storage space for a single person. Maybe JB’s pack rat behavior is genetic. 

[ginger90]

🤦‍♀️

[GeeGolly]

OMG. Amy-please-don't-call-me-a-Duggar, is pushing her used clothes by name dropping the Duggar name.

[realityfan26]

How can it be perfectly new AND only worn once? Maybe she meant practically new?
