Counting On Spoilers: Jim Bob & Michelle Duggar Issue Statement
In a timely fashion, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar issued a statement about the new tell-all documentary on Amazon Prime Video. The docuseries exposes the Institute in Basic Life Principles known as the IBLP.
People involved with the religious organization claim that it’s a cult. Jim Bob and Michelle shared their thoughts. Shortly after the fire episode of the four-episode docuseries premiered, the couple reacted on their family’s website and their Instagram page.
“The recent ‘documentary’ that talks about our family is sad because in it we see the media and those with ill intentions hurting people we love,” the statement reads. “Like other families, ours too has experienced the joys and heartbreaks of life, just in a very public format. This ‘documentary’ paints so much and so many in a derogatory and sensationalized way because sadly that’s the direction of entertainment these days.”
