Anna Duggar swiftly disappeared from social media following her husband, Josh Duggar’s convictions related to Child Sexual Abuse Material (Csam).
Her last comment on X (formerly Twitter) was from June 2022, when she was heading to visit Josh in a federal prison in Texas.
She deleted her Instagram account, though we suspect she lurks occasionally, if only to keep up with her in-laws and the news they share publicly.
However, the former 19 Kids and Counting star and Counting On mom returned to X to comment on the Donald Trump verdict.
It likely didn’t go how she had hoped, as she was mercilessly trolled.

Amazon‘s most successful docuseries to date, Shiny Happy People, won’t be a one-hit wonder. A second season of the series appears to be coming to the streaming platform.
While the streaming service provider and the production team are staying quiet about the specifics, filming for season 2 of Shiny Happy People is underway. Fans think the series, focused on the Iblp and the famous families involved in the controversial ministry, will shine a spotlight on someone other than the Duggars this time around. In fact, two different reality TV families could be the focus of the upcoming season.
Fans theorize about ‘Shiny Happy People’ Season 2 as filming starts
Cori Shepherd Stern, executive producer of Shiny Happy People, appeared on Reddit last year for an Ama. While Shepherd Stern admitted that there was plenty of footage left over from season 1, she never said the second season of the docuseries would focus entirely on the Duggars.

Jinger Duggar may be further along in her healing journey if her recent share is any indication.
The former Counting On star gushed over her mom, Michelle Duggar, in honor of Mother’s Day.
She didn’t make it back to Arkansas for the celebration, but she did boast about her “beautiful mama” on her Instagram Stories.
There’s been some speculation about the status of Jinger’s relationship with her parents following the release of her book. However, because she focused on religion and blamed Bill Gothard and his teachings, it didn’t rock the boat as much as Jill Duggar did with her book Counting the Cost.
The fourth daughter of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar seems to love her mom a lot, and this is shown in the message she shared along with the photo of them together.
Jinger wrote, “Happy Mother’s Day to the most beautiful mama inside and out.

19 Kids and Counting alum, Josh Duggar went to prison for Csam offenses, and evidence of his molestation of his sisters was allowed in court. Harvey Weinstein had his rape conviction overturned because the court allowed people to testify about his bad behavior and they were not part of the charges. He will now have a new trial. Will that help the TLC alum get his conviction overturned as well?
Josh Duggar Trial Heard Testimony By Bobye Holt
During his trial, the former 19 Kids and Counting star listened as Bobye Holt related how he confessed to the molestation when he was a younger teen. Of course, the defense objected to that information being presented in a case relating to abusive videos of children. However, it was used to present a motive for his crimes using his computer.

Amy Duggar King has a son named Daxton, 5, and she doesn’t use blanket training like Michelle Duggar, and in fact, it moved her to tears talking about it. TLC fans who enjoyed watching 19 Kids and Counting believe that Jessa Seewald uses the method with her babies. When people hear about blanket training, they tend to become angry because it seems cruel.

A lot of people slam Deanna, the brother of Jim Bob Duggar because they believe she knew all about Josh’s molestation of his sisters being covered up. Both she and her daughter Amy denied that they knew about it, right up until TLC fans heard about it. Hate is real, and like other members of the clan, they take some heat.

Matt Roloff didn’t hold back when a Little People, Big World viewer complained about the show.
Currently in its 25th season on TLC, Lpbw is one of the longest-running reality TV shows still airing.
The show’s longevity has been questioned in recent years due to the change in the Roloff family dynamic.
Matt and Amy Roloff split in 2016, and three of their four children, Jeremy, Molly, and Jacob, stopped filming.
These days, Lpbw focuses on Matt and Amy’s storylines, along with their son, Zach Roloff, who shares his family’s personal life alongside his wife Tori and their three kids, Jackson, Lilah, and Josiah.
With so much history shared on TV for the past eight years, most Lpbw fans have continued to follow the Roloff family’s story.
But apparently, some fans of the show think it’s time for the show to come to an end.

Former reality star Jill Duggar-Dillard rose to fame on her family’s reality show, 19 Kids and Counting. Since then, she has authored two books and recently appeared in a documentary regarding her family’s deepest secrets. The Duggar family is known for being strict and extremely rigid, requiring their children to follow a number of hard-core rules. As followers of the Institute of Basic Life Principles (Iblp), an ultra-conservative Christian organization, the Duggars are deeply rooted in their faith.

Jill Dillard and Jinger Vuolo aren’t the only Duggars interested in publishing. While the sisters have both published memoirs in the last year, at least one more family member is interested in telling their story in print, too. Recently, Amy Duggar King has come forward to say she may be interested in publishing her own tell-all book but that the timing would need to be right.

Jill Duggar Dillard recently released her memoir, “Counting the Cost,” which details the ins and outs of her upbringing, her disassociation with some of her family’s values, and her tense relationship with her parents. Jill, who is the second-oldest daughter of Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar, was the first daughter to wed and became a major focus of the family’s show, Counting On, which premiered after the original 19 Kids and Counting was canceled due to Josh Duggar’s abuse scandal.
Despite Jill’s courage in telling her story, it doesn’t look like any of her siblings have publicly promoted her new book — and fans have noticed, especially after Jill promoted little sister Jinger Duggar Vuolo’s memoir earlier this year.

And shortly after that, Duggar and Dillard realized that things under Jim Bob Duggar’s rule weren’t as peachy as they seemed.

Following Josh Duggar’s molestation scandal in 2015, Jill Dillard and Jessa Seewald sat down with Megyn Kelly for an interview.

Jill Dillard laid out exactly how the interview happened in her new book, Counting the Costs. She also shared one disturbing, previously unknown detail.

Duggar Family followers have been blowing the whistle for years over more minor parenting mishaps. We’ve collected four of the Duggar family’s parenting fails, aside from sexual abuse, that have troubled family followers.

Her uncle, Jim Bob Duggar, had a heavy hand in the production of 19 Kids and Counting, she says.

Amy Duggar King doesn’t know what the future holds for the Duggar family.
Amy was chatting to Et Canada’s Morgan Hoffman about the “Shiny Happy People: Duggar Family Secrets” docuseries, when the host questioned what she hopes for the family, with everything that’s out there now.
The doc explores the truth behind the Duggars, stars of the TLC series “19 Kids and Counting”, who were part of the radical religious organization The Institute in Basic Life Principles (Iblp).
Amy — who shares son, Daxton Ryan, 3, with husband Dillon — told us of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar and the scandal-plagued family: “I hope eventually they can be honest and they can be upfront… but I don’t know. I don’t know. The thing is with trust is obviously it can be broken in an instant. Right? But it takes a long time to heal. It takes a long time to really trust someone.

When reality television became increasingly popular in the 2000s, there was a large influx of shows across different networks, but TLC was arguably the hub for reality-style entertainment. Upon its release in 2008, TLC's "17 Kids and Counting" (which later became "18 Kids and Counting" and then "19 Kids and Counting") quickly grew in popularity among viewers, became the network's most popular show, and frequently made Nielsen's cable top 25 list.
The show famously centered around the life of the Duggars, a family of devout Christians consisting of parents Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, and their 19 children: Joshua, twins Jana and John-David, Jill, Jessa, Jinger, Joseph Garrett, Josiah Matthew, Joy-Anna, twins Jedediah and Jeremiah, Jason, James, Justin, Jackson, Johannah, Jennifer, Jordyn-Grace, and Josie Duggar. On the show, the family adhered to strict, fundamentalist Christian values, which included promoting traditional gender roles, advocating against birth control, enforcing modesty and "purity," and limiting access...

Amazon Prime Video's newest docuseries, "Shiny Happy People: Duggar Family Secrets," dives into what it was really like for the Duggar family, who rose to fame thanks to TLC's "19 Kids and Counting." The documentary, released on the streamer on June 2, not only focuses on the family but also on how they were the poster family for the Institute in Basic Life Principles, a Christian organization founded in 1961 by Bill Gothard with extremely conservative policies.
The documentary features interviews with cousin to the Duggars Amy King and most notably with Jill Duggar Dillard, one of the Duggar kids, and her husband, Derick Dillard.

Amazon’s explosive docuseries, Shiny Happy People: Duggar Family Secrets, has Duggar family followers talking. It has also introduced the masses to the Institute of Basic Life Principles, branded as a Christian ministry but called a cult in the docuseries. The Iblp, as its known, has had several major scandals, most revolving around its former leader. Bill Gothard previously ran the Iblp but stepped down in 2014 amid sexual misconduct allegations. While Gothard spent decades controlling the ministry, he was never really the face of it, at least not to the public. That role went to the Duggars. So, with Bill Gothard now out of power in the Iblp, we can’t help but wonder who is running the show. Officially, the Iblp is now being led by a board of directors. According to Bobye Holt, a former family friend, Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar are pulling the strings behind the scenes.

For many TV viewers, TLC’s 19 Kids and Counting was a feel-good look at the day-to-day life of an unusually large Arkansas family. But dad Jim Bob Duggar and his wife Michelle Duggar saw their reality show as something much more. They believed appearing on television was a way to spread the word about their ultra-conservative Christian ideology, which was grounded in the teachings of a man named Bill Gothard.
A new docuseries, Shiny Happy People: Duggar Family Secrets (out June 2 on Prime Video) draws back the curtain on both the Duggars and the inner workings of Gothard’s Institute in Basic Life Principles. In recent years, both the Duggars and Gothard have fallen from grace following sex abuse scandals. But that hasn’t stopped Jim Bob Duggar from positioning himself as Gothard’s successor. His behavior is like that of a cult leader, a former family friend says.

Lately, our interest in religious cults seems to be peaking, and many have capitalized on this genre. From movies like Women Talking, the Netflix documentary Keep Sweet, Prey, and Obey, and FX’s terrifying Under the Banner of Heaven, about the true-life events of Brenda Lafferty, it is an endless row that keeps growing and growing. Amazon Prime’s Shiny Happy People is the latest to have been added to this list of horrifying yet addictive shows. As someone who lives on the other side of the world, I had never heard of 19 Kids and Counting, so maybe it was my oblivion that led to the complete and utter shock I felt right from the beginning of Shiny Happy People.

When it comes to the Duggar family, the stars of TLC's massively popular 19 Kids and Counting franchise, it's easy to miss the forest for the trees. The Duggars have been mired in controversy for nearly a decade: In 2015, eldest son Josh Duggar admitted to molesting five girls, including four of his sisters, leading to the show's suspension; six years later, he was arrested on federal child pornography charges, at which point TLC canceled spinoff Jill & Jessa: Counting On. Understandably, Josh's conviction (he was sentenced to 12.5 months in prison in May 2022) has created a rift within the family, prompting some of the older siblings to speak out about the abuse they suffered, their fundamentalist upbringing, and the exploitative nature of the show.

The Duggar family spent more than a decade sharing their lives on TLC. While the family had plenty of fans, they also amassed many critics. The pool of critics grew in 2015 when Josh Duggar, Jim Bob and Michelle’s eldest son, admitted to molesting several of his sisters. In 2021, the family was rocked by another scandal when federal marshalls arrested Josh for possessing and receiving child pornography. The scandals aren’t over yet, at least according to Amazon Studios. The streaming giant is set to release a four-part docuseries about the Duggar family. The trailer promises to unearth more wrongdoing. Not everyone has a negative spin on the supersized family, though. A former crewmember of the family’s TLC show, 19 Kids and Counting, has offered some positive thoughts on the Arkansas-based brood.

The Bates family, reality TV stars in their own right, were first introduced to the world on the Duggar family’s TLC series, 19 Kids and Counting. They were friends with the Duggars through the Iblp and went on to star in a reality TV show of their own.

If you weren't living under a rock at the end of the 2000s and the start of the 2010s, you probably couldn't avoid learning about the Duggars. The family was the subject of the reality TV show "19 Kids and Counting," which ran for seven years starting in 2008, chronicling the large family's everyday lives. The Duggars were devout Christians who homeschooled all their children and disavowed birth control. Though they appeared to be a mostly happy family, it turned out that what was really happening under the surface may have been much more sinister than it seemed.
Cracks in the Duggars's facade first began to appear when Josh, the family's eldest son, confessed to molesting five girls, leading to the show's cancelation. Josh was never charged, but was arrested in 2021 and charged with receipt and possession of child pornography.
