Jill Duggar, in her new memoir titled “Counting the Cost,” has claimed that her father, Jim Bob Duggar, treated her “worse than you treat my pedophile brother”. Jill has accused her father of paying her brother Josh Duggar for being quiet about his sexual abuse of his sisters, including Jill, when they were children. Jill has also claimed that her father treated her poorly after she and her husband, Derick Dillard, left the family’s reality show “Counting On”. Jim Bob and his wife Michelle have responded to Jill’s claims, but the details of their response are not included in the search results.
“Whenever we were at odds with what her dad thought we should be doing with filming, he would say things that would be very damaging,” Dillard alleged. “He would weaponize the relationship and say, ‘Is this you Jill, or is this you, Derek? Are you leading your wife astray and doing things that are not supportive of marriage?’ And I think that was a red flag.
According to the search results, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar have responded to Jill’s claims, but the details of their response are not included in the search results. However, Jill’s sister, Jinger Duggar Vuolo, has broken her silence on the matter, but it is not clear what she said. In a statement to “Nightline,” Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar said, “We love all of our children very much. As with any family, few things are more painful than enduring through the struggles of life with your children”.
