Josh Duggar is a monster who deserves MANY years in prison.
This much has been confirmed in court, considering Duggar’s decision in December 2021 on charges of receiving and possessing child pornography.
But Josh Duggar is also the symbol of something far worse and more dangerous in his reach and power.
This, according to the creators of the upcoming Amazon.
As you have read, Happy Shining People: Secrets of the Duggar Family coming to the aforementioned platform.
These little stories will help us get to know not only Josh and his famous family members… but also how the scandals of the Duggars are connected to the Institute in Basic Life Principles (IBLP) church.
Speaking to People Magazine about the project, Olivia Crist, one of the show’s directors, said:
“Josh Duggar is the best tip of the bunch.”
“There are thousands of families who have been hurt by this and have not had a voice, not because of failure, for many, many, many years,” Crist explains this.
“I mean, I hope, the takeaway is really hearing the survivors, hearing their experiences.
“So, I think for people who are still in the fundamentalist group or the IBLP group, hopefully this is an opportunity for them to say, ‘Hey, it’s possible to get out and they’re not alone.'”
Josh is a father of seven children.
He was arrested by Homeland Security in April 2021 on the aforementioned charges of receiving and possessing child pornography.
He was found guilty of all charges later that year and was sentenced in May 2022 to more than 12 years in prison.
With one account, Duggar is not exactly popular in prison.
Before his arrest, Duggar admitted to cheating on his wife and women he met through a prostitution website.
In the past, he also admitted to molesting girls – two of whom were his sisters Jill (Duggar) Dillard and Jessa (Duggar) Seewald – when he was a teenager.
Crist believes that Duggar grew up “in a system that is inherently cruel and [has a] lack of sex education.”
This environment, he says to People, “breeds cruelty.”
Crist goes on to say that the docuseries “will delve into the many forms of abuse that took place within the cult,” adding:
“But one of the things I want to emphasize is that the neglect of education that has happened to so many children is shocking.
“Their education was not enough.
“There are organizations out there — the Coalition for Responsible Homeschooling is one of the best — that are doing a great job advocating for children’s rights.”
Happy Shining People: Secrets of the Duggar Family – which will include interviews with Jill Duggar with Amy Duggar – premieres June 2 on Prime Video.
