Duggar In-Law Takes Social Media Private — Is It A Precursor To New Show?


The Duggar family is still starring in their new reality show, over a year after Josh Duggar’s infidelity and alleged sex crimes took their old show, 19 Kids And Counting, off the air. Recently, another Duggar family member has been dropping hints that might indicate another reality show, or perhaps a one-time special, in the making. Now her husband has taken his social media private, and there are a number of possible reasons as to why.

Back when she was Amy Duggar, she was billed as the ‘rebel cousin’ — with ‘rebel’ basically meaning she wore jeans, was permitted to date, and could listen to secular music. It doesn’t sound much like rebellion to most of us, but then, the Duggar family is known for not permitting their kids — even adult offspring — to date without chaperones, hold hands until engaged, or kiss until the wedding, well, next to her cousins, Amy Duggar probably did look a bit rebellious.

Now her name is Amy King, since she married over a year ago. She has spoken out about Josh Duggar’s crimes, completely condemning them, and could be seen as having distanced herself from the Duggar publicity. Though she has attempted a country music career, there has been little movement on that particular path since a trip featured on the Duggar reality show in 2014.

The so-called rebel Duggar has been involved in a few other endeavors since stepping away from her cousins’ reality show. She and her husband have a business customizing vehicle parts, and she has shared that she has been compensated for product endorsements. Some viewers have accused Amy of selling information about the Duggar family to media for cash. The Duggar cousin and her husband denied this after being accused of leaking rumors of Anna Duggar being pregnant.

When the Duggar family was granted a new reality show, Jill & Jessa: Counting On, billed as focusing on the older Duggar kids, particularly the two married sisters who had already gone public about being victimized by Josh Duggar, Amy and her husband Dillon declared that they wouldn’t be joining the show.

However, a few months ago, Amy Duggar King floated a teaser: an Instagram photo with hashtags such as “filming” and “haven’t been on camera in a while.”

When questioned, the couple was vague, declining to say whether there was a new Duggar show coming, whether they were joining Jim Bob Duggar’s offspring on the current reality series, or whether the project was something else altogether.

“…we are just living our lives and sharing as we go. When we [are] able to share more we will.”

Now, though, there’s a new minor wrinkle: Duggar-in-law Dillon King has gone private on social media. His Instagram page, which was previously open to the public, is now closed.

There are a lot of reasons to go private. Several Duggar family members have either disabled, deleted, or made social media private, temporarily or longer-term, since the series of scandals began with the release of Josh Duggar’s police record. Backlash about the Duggar family’s connections to Bill Gothard, as well as their own scandals, has also been an issue. In fact, even as the Duggar offspring headed back for their most recent season of Counting On, another reality show star connected to the Gothard movement ditched social media due to harsh comments from viewers.

Perhaps Dillon King has temporarily hidden his Instagram to delete some photos he no longer wants public, or he needed a social media break, or he has been questioned about Duggar family business and just isn’t interested in talking to strangers at the moment.

However, with the previous hints from Amy Duggar King, and Dillon’s greater propensity to respond to inquiries from followers, perhaps he’s making the effort to keep from spilling the beans about their project — does that mean that whatever the Duggar cousin and her husband have been filming will soon be seen?
