Jinger Duggar Vuolo Reacts to Sister Jill’s Bombshell Memoir

Former TLC star Jinger Duggar Vuolo returns to the show with her husband, Jeremy Vuolo. Her life was infamously chronicled in the Duggar family’s 2008 reality show, “19 Kids and Counting.” Since the show, a flood of controversy has surrounded the Duggar family-from the #FreeJinger movement to Josh Duggar, Jinger’s brother, being sentenced to 12 years in prison for child pornography charges. Fast forward to the present-both Jinger and her sister Jill have written memoirs about the experience. Jinger joins our episode titled “Behind the Crime” with the latest update.

Josh Duggar's crimes are NOT alledged. He was tried, convicted and incarcerated for it.

[@AnastaciaInCleveland]

We still have to call the acts of molestation "alleged" because he was not convicted in a court of law, unfortunately. Now the CSAMs? He was convicted for that. So, it is legally a "fact". Ms. Hall has to be careful to make the distinction.

[@marwatson7408]

I completely agree 👍👏this Cult and her parents both need to be called out especially JimBob with all of his control issues and manipulation and I never bought into Michelle’s goody two shoes attitude about having so many children that she never raised because the older kids were doing it for her. I knew some day one or more of the kids was going to write a tell all book because they never looked happy growing up in that environment. Josh needs to be where he is and IMO should’ve gotten a longer sentence than he was given and I wish Jill all the best because she deserves it ❤.

[@nataliemcmanus113]

I remember when Michelle took her to weight watchers it was horrible and she looked good but her mom made her go. People end up with eating disorders because of things like this. Also I watched in the beginning and know wonder they were homeschooled cause they worked constantly cooking, cleaning and raising the younger siblings it was child labour which is against the law for a reason. Not a good example of great parenting and protecting Josh after he s… abused his siblings. He needs to stay in jail for his whole life and the parents should be charged for protecting him and keeping him in the house.

Perfect quote: "Forgiveness and Trust Are NOT One and the Same " No truer words were ever spoken.

[@jgabraham4913]

I see a lot of people criticizing Jinger for not being as outspoken as her sister. But the whole point of them being out of the cult is that their individual personalities can come through. It's possible that Jinger is still afraid, and that's why she's much more reserved than her sister. But it's also possible that she's a different person who needs to process and express her experiences in a different way. One of the other sisters might break free and choose not to talk or write about it publicly at all. And that would be just fine, too. It doesn't have to be a sign of living under fear or control.

[@sharonbowman1266]

Before it was like Jeremy was the one who talked a lot, now it’s surprising how Jinger has come into her own person and is able explain her side of things as to what she has been through. She recognizes the toll it takes on a child following a cult and being on tv.

[@doreenayi3751]

It’s clear to me that ginger is still not wanting to rock the boat. She’s still trying to please her parents, still following JB‘s party line. that’s why I didn’t bother to read her book.But Jill’s book was fantastic straight from the heart, a complete factually based memoir of her life.

[@maddyspinks]

I think that it’s possible that she maybe can’t legally rock the boat too much and has to be careful about what wording and phrases she specifically uses. In Jill’s book she said that the money JB orrigionally offered the older kids, Jinger included, was contingent on them all signing lifetime NDA’s and that all the other kids singed with only some adding minor changes, but there is no way that JB would have negotiated the NDA part of the deal. If she did sign paperwork saying she couldn’t speak out negatively it is probably why she can talk about the IBLP in a negligent but never actually says negative things about her family other than josh, who after all that happened with she can probably get away with somewhat without her dad deciding to sue for breaching the agreement, but is also why she can say really nice things about Jill being strong and finding a voice because she isn’t speaking anything directly bad about her family in doing so.

[@ReeCooks14579]

Ginger’s book is a side by side comparison of the teachings of Bill Gothard and John MacArthur. She does talk about the harmful teachings of the IBLP, but does not speak ill of her parents. Some say she has left one cult only to join another. .

[@Junebugreen]

Yeah. That’s why I didn’t bother with Jinger’s book either. I wasn’t even curious. Not interested.

[@Junebugreen]

@@maddyspinks​​⁠I’d still like to see any of the kids with the NDA speak out anyway. I’d like to see JimBob try and sue his own kid. He’d have so much fallout from normal people he wouldn’t know what hit him. NDA’s are not holding up well in court in certain instances.

[@Kpars4]

Is a matter of personality in my opinion. Jinger is a very reserved, soft spoken woman, she, like Jill also loves her family despite all these negative issues. They address them differently, Jinger chose to write a book that would be more focused on examining the belief system she grew up in through the lens of the Gospel, which is what we Christians believe. Is not what other commenter here said that she paralleled Gothard belief system against McArthurs belief system, because after reading Jinger 's book, as a Christian, all I recognized was the Gospel through and through. That aside, what I observe is that Jill's approach to writing her book is more biographical, therefore includes dialogues and reenactments of some encounters within the family, and that's just a literary form chosen to share a story. Both books are true to the authors and valid accounts. But they are different literary styles. Jinger is free from a faulty teaching and it's practices, so is Jill. Both are born again Christians that are growing in their understanding of the Chrstian faith on their own now, not under the umbrella of their parents.

I would be treading lightly and avoiding the answers to the questions about her as well it’s to give voice to Jill and her story. I’d be afraid of saying something wrong.

I am not shocked at all by the way the parents treat the girls-- after all, they raised them in a cult that believes girls/women are to be subjugated-- first by their fathers, and then by their husbands.

So she gives a graceful non-answer with things she doesn’t want to discuss and keeps it pushing onto the easier stuff. If she is scared of her dad, I could totally understand why.

One day 🤞 The brainwashing they experienced as children would be a mental prison most of us would struggle to free ourselves from. Same for Josh's wife Anna.

[@PrayerfullyBlessedMama]

Why? Because she still follows Jesus? Get your life- you don’t know Jinger.

[@ellen3131]

Those "parents" make me sick. Pretending to be Christians, but then behaving the opposite. They lie, they cheat, they cover up crimes, they lie some more, they care more about money than their daughters. I'm glad Jill got away and some of the others are a bit more independent now like Jinger and Joy. The rest still seem to be trapped like Jessa and Jana. The "parents" can rot in hell with Josh.

[@technicaldifficulties6392]

I feel the good that has come out of this family is that all the children are well spoken, very mature, intelligent, patient, kind, honest and not the least bit materialistic. These ladies have each taken the bad out of situations and turned it around to make a better life for each of their families and kept their faith the entire time. That's truly inspiring.

[@jk7713]

She didn’t even answer the questions. She’s still so muted and scared of her family. Hopefully she grows a pair and puts them for everything they’re worth

[@MAE_Nerd_Out]

We have to remember Jinger signed an NDA so she can’t say anything bad about her mom or dad. Jill is the only child that didn’t sign an NDA.

[@mktay2067]

We actually don't have any proof of that. Jill may have been told that but they may not have.

[@mariyaa111]

It makes absolutely no sense that EVERY other child signed an NDA except for Jill. There is no way that with all of their contracts that they wouldn’t have had everyone sign one of those from the beginning without knowing.

Could be her past trauma and ptsd of her childhood ~ still trying to process it

[@brandicrane6614]

Speaking as someone who was raised in a very abusive home, you don't always know what or how to say something without the worry of who it will upset and the trouble you'll get in for it. Even as an adult, it's hard to undo the brainwashing one endured as a child, and learning to separate truth from fiction takes a long time. You could learn to have grace for people who have this trauma and especially trauma you don't know or understand.

[@eve8977]

I think she's a slower communicator. She's better in the long-form interviews. I think right when she was getting to a point, the interviewer interrupted her and she had to abandon her point and start from scratch.

[@FlowerChild65]

Interesting. Jinger answers the questions, but she really doesn't say a whole lot. You can tell she is trying to toe the line and not say anything that would upset her parents, while also not saying anything against Jill. If I remember correctly, there was a segment on the show where Michelle said she was fine with Jinger in pants. That kind of suggests a possible double standard there. Was Jinger doing it ok because she is following very similar Reformed theology? She seemed very much still willing to soft-pedal the Gothard situation, claiming the documentary "missed things we believe(d)". Poor Jill.

[@denisekenney4134]

I am pretty sure all the siblings, except Jill, signed a ND that they aren't allowed to bad mouth the parents.

[@ReeCooks14579]

Michelle was fine with Ginger wearing pants because Ginger asked for their permission. Jill, on the other hand being the adult that she is decided, she didn’t need her parents permission.

[@mktay2067]

No Jinger didn't "ask their permission" she called and explained her decision.

[@judyheller8814]

According to Jill’s book, Jinger had a sit down conversation before she wore pants publicly. She laid out her arguments to her family in a respectful tone. Jill on the other hand accused her father of being greedy and controlling. She made him feel like a horrible person.

This is a sad situation. This family has been so brain washed and it will take them a lifetime to heal. You can see from the intense calmness that they attempt to express feelings in words but still are super cautious when speaking about their family and upbringing. Watch some videos of the other girls and you will notice how they are controlled by the spouse . I bet Jessa will stay mum. It’s been leaked she is still under control of the father financially. And the Duggar sons say nothing!!! I wonder why that is?! Sad situation nonetheless for everyone involved. As for the nasty brother Josh, his poor children I feel for them bc the mother Anna needs a mental evaluation to see if she can raise them in a healthy and happy environment.

[@ReeCooks14579]

The reason the other siblings say nothing is because when Jill started asking questions about not getting paid for the show, Jim Bob decided to give his children each $80,000 and have them sign a contract that puts them in a life long NDA. Because of that NDA they can’t say anything negative about Jim Bob.
