Counting On: Amy Duggar Has A Message For Anna! “Door Is Always Open”
Josh Duggar is considered one of the worst reality TV celebrities after the report came out that he molested his own sisters. As he now serves a sentence in prison for child pornography, fans have realized his true face. Many family members decided to stay mum about his arrest and the things that were going on in the family. However, Jill Dillard and Amy King decided to stand up for what was right. They also shared their experiences in Amazon’s docu-series, Shiny Happy People. After its success, Amy revealed in an interview with ET that she has not talked to her sister-in-law Anna Duggar after the imprisonment of her husband, Josh Duggar.
The Duggar cousin from Counting On revealed that there has been “radio silence” since Anna had to bid goodbye to her husband as he went to prison. She still wanted her sister-in-law to know that the “door is always open.” At the same time, Amy didn’t want Anna to think she was forcing him to leave or anything. But if the mother of seven ever wanted to speak or “anything,” her sister-in-law would always be there for her. Amy also acknowledged that she heard that Anna had called her and Jill “toxic.”
King found it “interesting” that Anna used those words. She talked of how Josh’s wife would go to many rallies for women standing up against abuse. Yet, Amy defended Anna by saying that she must be processing the whole thing slowly as it must be pretty hard for her.
