Counting On: Amy King Slams IBLP ‘Cult’ Over Demon Dolls

Counting On fans saw quite a lot of Amy King, (nee Duggar) when 19 Kids and Counting was still on TLC. As she wasn’t raised under the same strict rules as her cousins, Jim Bob Duggar seemed to think of her as a rebel and a bit of a bad influence on his daughters. Anyway, these days, she found her voice and she’s not afraid to speak out about what she feels is a “cult”: the IBLP. This week, she shared about “demons” in dolls.

Counting On – Fans Look To Amy King For Duggar Tea

After Josh Duggar went to prison for downloading C-SAM-related content, a lot of fingers were pointed at Amy and her mom, Deanna, Jim Bob’s sister. Although she spoke about how justice was served when her cousin was convicted, she still took some heat from TLC viewers. Like many folks who followed the sensitive case involving the abuse of children, Amy felt that 12 years wasn’t long enough. Nevertheless, she still got folks blasting at her.

In 2022, Counting On fans never really believed that Deanna and Amy King didn’t know that Josh had molested his sisters. However, they both claimed that Jim Bob Duggar had lied about why he sent his son away to a special religious camp. In fact, she was completely in the dark when FBI agents questioned her about her cousin. And, she alleged that her uncle gave her “a confusing and dismissive response” when she questioned him. Anyway, folks still look to her for more tea about the Duggar family.
