Amy Duggar King once felt a connection to Josh Duggar.
That connection is long gone.
But their former bond also made learning his true nature that much more chilling.
The Duggar cousin is opening up about confronting Josh — and his harrowing response.
Amy Duggar learned what Josh is from the news, just like everyone else
In 2015, the world learned that Josh Duggar had molested four of his younger sisters and another underage girl — a babysitter.
This monstrous revelation led to TLC canceling 19 Kids and Counting, though it would go on to platform the Duggar family for years after this through Counting On.
Speaking to Fox News Digital, Amy Duggar King reveals that she learned of Josh’s unforgivable crimes just like everyone else — from the news.
After the news broke, she drove to Jim Bob’s house to confront her evil cousin. She wanted answers.
“He was extremely passive, non-responsive,” Amy recalled about Josh’s initial response.
“[He was] looking down at the floor for the longest time, didn’t have much to say at all,” Amy described.
She, however, was a flurry of emotion.
“I was furious and red in the face, crying,” she admitted. “Just my heart beating so fast out of my chest.”
Eventually, however, Josh spoke up. And his haunting statement will haunt her for life.
“He looked at me right into my eyes and said, ‘I knew better,’” Amy shared. “And it was the creepiest smile I’ve ever seen.”
She describes the same encounter in her memoir
In her book, Holy Disruptor: Shattering the Shiny Facade by Getting Louder with the Truth, she goes into further detail.
“As I continued to stare directly into his eyes, a slow smile spread across his face,” Amy Duggar described in her memoir.
“It was the kind of smile that sent shivers down my spine,” she admitted.
Amy characterized his expression as “a twisted grin that was unlocking a world of chaos, suffering, and pain that was yet to come for my family.”
There was an interruption in the confrontation, however. And it was by the same man who shielded Josh from legal consequences for his crimes until the statute of limitations ran out.
According to Amy, “just as the tension reached its peak,” Jim Bob burst into the room.
“Now, Amy, let’s not stir up contempt,” he allegedly told Amy, his voice dripping with condescension.
That would be an unhinged statement under any context. But, we must remember that we’re talking about people in a cult.
Many subcultures have unique turns of phrase. It is not always sinister. But these people make up their own phrases so that language alone separates the in-group from the out-group.
“His son was a predator, and yet he was more worried about my language and tone of voice,” Amy remarked.
Jim Bob was (as usual) just super weird about everything
When speaking to Fox News Digital, Amy admitted that she felt like her uncle was experiencing some form of denial.
“This is just my opinion, we’ll just put that out there, [but] I think the reality was too much,” she admitted.
“I think the harsh reality was heartbreaking, and it was too much,” Amy reiterated.
“But I don’t know what was going through his mind,” she emphasized. “I can’t really speak for my uncle, and I’m not going to, but I just know that if I were in that situation, I would have parented very differently.”
For one thing, Amy says that she would have gotten help for Josh’s victims. But that would require seeing the girls as both victims and full human beings, rather than as temptresses and property — as the cult perceives them.
Truth be told, Jim Bob’s thoughts may have been denial. But they could also have been a natural extension of the cult’s beliefs.
Historically, one of the theological selling points of Christianity has been a divine forgiveness. Through different mechanisms (according to denomination), Christians believe that their wrongdoings can be expunged.
So, though Josh cost the family their (first) reality show and had to resign in disgrace as a lobbyist for noted hate group the Family Research Council, Jim Bob may have truly seen Josh’s heinous crimes as irrelevant due to divine intercession.
Whatever his family believes happened to him on a spiritual level, Josh obviously did not change. The crimes behind Josh’s prison sentence prove that.
A belief in forgiveness-through-faith brings comfort to many. But regardless of creed, there are many people in this world who will use this concept as a cover to continue to prey upon the helpless and the trusting.

Early this month, Kathryn Dennis was jailed to serve her DUI sentence.
The fallen Southern Charm star was supposed to remain behind bars until early November.
Instead, she is already out.
How did Kathryn’s three-car collision DUI arrest result in only 11 days behind bars?
Beware! Kathryn Dennis is free!
In May of 2024, Kathryn Dennis had a somewhat viral meltdown amidst her arrest.
Following her involvement in a three-car collision, police identified the former Bravolebrity as the one who rear-ended the car in front of her at a stop light.
That car went on to hit the car in front of it.
Authorities at the scene determined that Kathryn seemed to be intoxicated, due to a scent of alcohol and alleged “glossy eyes.” The empty liquor bottles (plural) in her vehicle didn’t help.
So, early this month, she began serving what was once going to be a 30-day jail sentence.
According to Us Weekly, Kathryn filed a motion on October 6 — around the time that most folks were first learning of her sentence.
In the motion, she essentially begged the judge to “reconsider” her sentence.
These sorts of motions are not uncommon. Believe it or not, most people behind bars would like to get out earlier.
However, it seems that Kathryn’s motion worked. Like, she asked to be let out early and the judge assented?
Anyway, this meant that she got out of jail after only 11 days. That’s not a fun week-and-a-half, but it’s better than a full month. She won’t even miss Halloween!
How did she manage to weasel out of her full sentence?
Kathryn Dennis left the Berkeley County Hill-Finklea Detention Center in South Carolina early based upon three separate claims.
Her attorney argued that “the vast majority of [DUI]/open container cases are sentenced to pay a fine or minimal jail time.”
Meanwhile, Kathryn was “sentenced to the maximum” which made her an outlier.
The judge also allegedly claimed that the fallen Bravolebrity “should have been charged with felony [DUI].”
Kathryn’s attorney argued that this was “without … a factual basis to make such a statement.”
Additionally, Kathryn’s attorney complained that “[the judge] and her child could have been on the road at the same time and location” of the 2024 collision.
It seems that this felt personal and emotional.
Remarks like these are not entirely uncommon from judges. They will point out a personal example of how someone’s irresponsible or reckless behavior put others at risk.
However, Kathryn’s filing griped that the judge’s comments were made “out of the passion of the moment rather than as a factual basis for the sentence.”
Apparently, these three arguments worked. Or maybe the judge was just sick of hearing from her.
This isn’t over
One of the drivers from the three-vehicle crash is suing Kathryn Dennis. So that’s going to be another financial mess for her — or, at least, a legal headache.
Additionally, DUIs result in a fairly infamous series of legal hurdles and fees.
We don’t know when Kathryn will be back on the road. And, to be blunt, many familiar with her troubling history feel that others have a right to know.
In the mean time, she can certainly avail herself of rideshare services in order to travel from place to place without doing the driving herself.
If Kathryn (and others with DUI arrests) would make use of these services to begin with, they could avoid a whole mess of trouble. Also, they could avoid needlessly endangering others.

Britney Spears is sharing her pain. And, allegedly, her “brain damage.”
Kevin Federline has lashed out as his ex-wife in a dubious new memoir.
Some of the extreme claims about Britney may, some fans speculate, end up part of a libel suit.
For now, even as her other ex-husbands separately roast Federline, she’s expressing how she feels.
Britney Spears has a lot to say, and she’s seeing cinematic parallels to her story
On Sunday, October 19, Britney Spears took to her Instagram page to share an extremely lengthy caption.
“My back… my blades… my wings…” her caption begins beside a photo that showcases her shoulder blades.
“Remember the movie Maleficent,” she asks, “Such an incredible movie!!!!” That is accurate.
“Remember the king tried to kill her but instead a guy secretly took her wings,” Britney recalled.
“But anything from the father in heaven the real father whom is the one I only claim who loves unconditionally,” she wrote, seemingly referring to her Christian beliefs. “Anything holy is never forgotten.”
“Her wings were holy so the king couldn’t take them not one person could say they were restored and hidden locked in a secret holy stain glass church,” Britney wrote.
This is a perhaps unorthodox interpretation of the excellent 2014 film.
“Not that this has any relevance with me,” she continued, “but I do find it incredibly interesting.”
Britney reminded followers: “I had a traumatic experience as some of you know at the end of my book.”
This was a time “where for 4 months I no longer had my private door and illegally was forced to not use my feet or body to go anywhere.”
‘There’s a LOT I didn’t share in my book’
Britney continued: “for a person like me who understands the sacredness is god speed… it did more than hurt my body.”
She assured: “trust me there’s A LOT I didn’t share in my book.”
Britney continued: “and still things at this very moment I’ve kept hidden because its incredibly painful and sad.”
She wrote: “I do feel the logic and mindfulness in my body as ONE was 100 percent murdered and destroyed I couldn’t dance or move for 5 months.”
Britney went on to share: “anyways I know my post and dancing seemed silly but it made me remember how to fly.”
She recalled: “I used to swim with my babies on my back till they were 4 and 5 I was incredibly strong.”
Once again pivoting back to her interpretation of Maleficent (2014), Britney wrote: “At the end of the movie she goes to a church and somehow find her wings.”
She described the titular protagonist as the “protector of the moors considered a villain but actually one with mother nature.”
Britney noted: “animals would bow to her… she was brilliant in that movie…”
Tying the two seemingly divergent topics together, she expressed: “I do feel like my wings were taken away and brain damage happened to me a long time ago 100 percent.”
‘Brain damage happened to me a long time ago 100 percent’
“I have of course moved on from that troubling time in my life,” Britney Spears acknowledged. “And I’m blessed to be alive.”
She wrote: “I’m showing my back one make up artist said don’t you think its too big.”
Britney accurately commented: “People are incredibly cruel.” Especially body-shaming trolls.
“Still to this day I haven’t flown like I used to do,” she lamented.
Britney then asked: “You think if I go to the Vatican I might find something quite interesting there??????”
“Its fun to tell stories at this point,” Britney remarked. “Because this all might sound so silly.
“But with what garbage literally is being said about me,” Britney concluded, “I said why not bring SUBSTANCE to the table.”
For the record, she is far from the first person — particularly among women — to see parallels in the Maleficent (2014) story. There is a very deliberate symbolism at work in the loss and return of the titular character’s wings.
It is true that Britney does not always convey her points with immediate clarity.
But for someone who was reportedly put on high doses of powerful psychoactive drugs against her will during her conservatorship, she is doing extremely well.

Prince Andrew is getting pushed out by Prince William.
Over the past decade, the former Duke of York has lost many of his previous honors. It has been entirely his own doing.
Now, in the wake of Andrew losing his royal title, some in the family feel that it’s still not enough.
It’s too late for Virginia Giuffre to see Andrew lose everything. But losing his titles is only the beginning.
Prince Andrew losing his titles may be just the beginning (if William has his way)
According to The Sunday Times, Prince William plans to bar Prince Andrew from participating in all aspects of royal life.
This will include William’s coronation.
It will also include other royal events and ceremonies.
According to the report, William was “consulted” about the decision for Andrew to lose his remaining royal titles and honors.
However, the same report says that the Prince of Wales is still not “satisfied with the outcome” and plans to take things further.
Per the report, Andrew will be“excluded from public and private royal events, including the coronation.”
The article explains that the disgraced royal is also “banned from most state occasions.”
This is about more than just the normal level of revulsion that everyday people feel towards Andrew and towards other friends of Epstein.
“William considers his uncle a ‘threat’ and a reputational risk to the monarchy,” the report explained.
The article continued by saying that William “is understood to be concerned about the message Andrew’s presence at royal events sends to victims of sexual abuse.”
And then there is the ex-wife
In addition to Prince Andrew, Prince William reportedly plans to target another infamous figure.
Sarah Ferguson is not only Andrew’s ex-wife, but also has her own repulsive ties to Epstein that have made her unpalatable to charities and to the general public.
People had already eyed her askance for her continuing to stand by her ex-husband.
But the revelation that she had once emailed an apology to Epstein after publicly disavowing him was sickening.
With Epstein’s name in the headlines, his friends and supporters — from the White House to Martha’s Vineyard to the royal family — are all feeling the heat.
The announcement on Friday allowed Andrew to behave as if he were voluntarily stepping back — like Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
Even worse, Andrew’s own statement on the matter made it sound as if this were heroic. As if he were nobly stepping down and not losing his station in disgrace.
That said, things could get much worse for him.
American politicians on both sides of the aisle want Andrew prosecuted and imprisoned for his alleged sex crimes.
And while Donald Trump is likely to protect his fellow Epstein associates just as he is protecting Ghislaine Maxwell, one day, someone less sympathetic to Andrew’s wrongs will be in the White House.
Will Prince Andrew end up in prison one day?
Regardless of what Prince William does or does not want, we won’t hold our breath waiting for Prince Andrew to face justice.
Historically, powerful men are seldom held to account in a meaningful manner. And, when they are, it is often for opposing other powerful men — not for their real victims.
For now, him losing his titles and honors may seem like justice.
But we should remember that the vast majority of the people of the world are not princes or dukes or other medieval nonsense and do not consider it a punishment. “Downgraded to normal rich guy” is not exactly a prison cell.
It’s good to hear that, for all of his many flaws, William is taking the right stance on his widely reviled uncle. A rare W for Peggy.

Real talk, folks:
We’re hearing way too much about Kody Brown’s sex life these days.
Previously, ex-spouse Christine complained about the lack of intimacy in the bedroom with Kody… while having also said she simply hated intercourse with the father of 17.
On the latest episode of Sister Wives, meanwhile, Kody was packing up his home in Flagstaff and made it clear that he was missing visits to Pound Town with Robyn.
“I can smell my own armpits, and it’s gross,” Kod said on air at one point, prior to trying (we guess) to flirt with his wife by asking her:
“Why don’t you come over here and smell my pheromones?”
In his warped mind, Kody believed this to be a generous offer.
“I’m always peacocking at her,” Kody said to younger brother Michael Brown, “something I’d never do with another woman.”
Added the family patriarch, explaining how things have been amid making plans to move across Arizona:
“We’ve been moving for months now. We haven’t had a romantic getaway, an escape, time together. And so what’s happened is we become battle buddies, not lovers.”
The 56-year old went on to say he’s looking for any opportunity to basically get into Robyn’s pants.
“I’m just flirting around here, just having some fun with it, like making my stinky body something romantic,” he said to the cameras.
“‘Hey, you smell those pheromones? Mmhmm. It means you’re digging on me. You like that stinky smell? Is there a stink on me that’s making you go, oh, that handsome man?’”
You may not believe this, but Kody’s move wasn’t exactly working on his soulmate.
“It’s not that I don’t like it,” she told viewers of his brazen flirtations. “It’s just I’m not going to give you attention when you’re doing it. I’ll give you attention when you’re not doing it.”
When Kody was still spiritually married to his first three wives — Meri Brown, Janelle Brown and Christine Brown — PDA was off limits.
“There was such a big family culture of no affection with Kody and wives in front of each other that when it came to anything public, I just would shy away from flirting with him. Now I’m having to kind of get comfortable with it,” Robyn went on.
These days? Since they’ve distanced themselves from his former spouses?
“I think it’s just going to take time for Robyn to get used to this monogamy thing,” Kody said.
Eventually, Kody said hopes that Robyn will find ways to get cheeky with him.
“I want to be walking down the street with her someday, maybe in a shopping mall or something like that and have her just slap my ass,” Kody confessed. “That’s when I know that she’s comfortable with her and I.”
We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again… actually, Robyn said it before and now we’ll quote her again:
Kody is a horny and desperate pig.
