Amy Jordan Duggar Jordan Duggar King Duggar Wedding Part 4 AKA Amy and Dillon King

[yblehsspot]

(Yay, my first real post!)

Amy posted a video on Instagram. It's one of those snapchat-type stories and I have no freaking clue what it's called on Insta.  It was posted 5 hours ago, and she's talking about the clip. I have no clue how to record videos that are shown on my phone screen, so I'll just watch it a few times and type it out:

"So I just wanted to take a minute and set the record straight. The story that I am describing for Marriage Boot Camp does not involve my husband at all. He would never hurt me and I would never allow that. Ever. So there's the truth. Lets be real for a second, do you really think that I would stay with a man that would hurt me and abuse me like that? I am not that kind of girl. I would send him packing. Remember that. And since I'm just going on about what bugs me tonight, I might as well be really honest about something else. The fact that people think that I did it for money or fame; you have to watch the show. There's actual real issues between us...I'm trying to think if there's anything else that bugs me tonight. I think that's pretty much it. But those are really like, some things that have really gotten to me lately...so...thanks for watching my rant."

As she admits people lie by putting their pretty faces forward on social media, so they can also use them to defend themselves against attacks. Amy has always claimed to be honest, blah blah blah. Why not just fess up and admit she went on this show for money. Honestly, who watches this show? I'd only heard of it earlier this year, and it's apparently been on for several years.

Did she really "sign up?" At least my post to her IG post went up after her rant. No honey, if you are touting yourself as a "celebrity," someone else got you on the show. She lies by omission.

I want to see how bad their acting is. At least Famy has some experience on the stage. Let's see how Dillon fares, although he strikes me as just as much a famewhore as her.

 In a previous season, didn't they include one of the Team Mom stars, who rocked up with a fake boyfriend so she could be on the show?

I think Farrah Abraham showed up by herself or something? But no. She's not a fame whore. It's all the other Teen Moms. Farrah is the classy one.

Googling tells me she had a fake boyfriend who didn't show up to Couple's Therapy. So she just did it alone.

Really? MBC is a platform from God? That God really does work in mysterious ways ... 

I never thought I'd say this, but that sounds sketchier than the Duggars claiming their show is a ministry.

And does Amy really expect anyone to believe the lie that she isn't doing this show for money/fame? If it were truly for the sake of her relationship she'd do real therapy and not air their marital issues to the entire world.

I get lost with the teen moms. Farrah is the one whose boyfriend died while she was pregnant and after the show turned to porn?

Knew it - it felt so much like creative editing for drama, but I always thought it was about another man than her husband.

And this is why reality tv is so dodgy - the editing will always do this, and I'm not sure how she can act shocked about it, or that people believed it, because she's grown up understanding reality tv from the inside.

(ETA It really makes me angry when women get on their high horse about "Of course, *I* would NEVER allow myself to be abused", because it's making so many assumptions, reveals ignorance about the realities, and always feels like it's looking down on women who are victims of domestic abuse, and blaming them in some way.  I'm sure that a lot of times it's said, people don't realise the implication,s but they're still there...)

[JesSky03]

I'm surprised the show is letting her post these things. They edited it that way on purpose to make people think she was talking about her husband to draw viewers and now anyone who was curious about whether or not it really was Dillon no longer need to watch the show to find out.

Maybe she means by not allowing it that if soemthing happened, she'd be out of there STAT.

An easy assertion to make when you don't understand how abuse works. That's the point though, it shows so much disregard for women who stay. It makes assumptions about how easy it is to leave an abusive relationship. It reveals ignorance of the reality of abusive dynamics. And it looks down on women who stay by presupposing that she would be different and leave in that situation. Nobody wants an abusive relationship, but they happen in the most insidious ways. It's easy to say you'd leave until you're faced with the reality of abuse.

Happy First Post and Welcome! 

As for Amy, if you weren't doing it for money or fame, you would do it in a therapist's office. And we would know nothing about it.

That makes me angry too. "I'm not that kind of girl."  Oh...what kind of girl is that Amy? She's so freaking clueless.

Farrah showed up at VH1's "Couples Therapy" by herself. Couples Therapy is just as bad as MBC. CT had the distinction of having Jon Gosselin and one of his girlfriends one season. I read that Tara Reid sort of showed up to MBC with a friend who she convinced to say he was her boyfriend so they could get some publicity and $$$.

I'm sorry, Famy, if you want REAL help for real problems, you go to a private therapist, not on a reality show. I can't imagine airing my dirty laundry for the camera.

[HarleyQuinn]

The fact that she tried to make an excuse like "we have real issues!" just proves she did it for money. They may have issues but they didn't need reality TV to work through them. Famy missed the spotlight. 

[ClaraOswin]

Yeah...if my husband and I had "real issues"...t.v. would be the LAST place I would go with them.

You dang skippy! 

In some ways, I find Famy the most loathsome of them all.

[buggers]

Amy is so irritating to me. Of course she did the show for fame! The other duggar kids never had a choice; their parents raised them in a televised house, and that is all they know. Amy was always letching on. Of course, when she was younger, it worked - the funky, bold cousin who appears once a season or so. But now, going on a show like that - it's totally trying to cling on to some semblance of fame. REAL issues would be solved in the therapist's office, not the television screen. (On another note, I'm sad to see Ashley and JP from the Bachelor on there  - they never seemed the fame whoring type). 

[ClaraOswin]

I think going on the Bachelor automatically puts you into the fame whore category.

When I think of Amy...I always think of cousin Jamie on Kid Farm.

[Carm_88]

Oh boy. I feel like she stepped in a load of crap by saying "That kind of girl." It isn't a particular type of girl who ends up with an abuser, it can be anyone. Fuck off Amy, no one cares about you anymore. You're a washed up "Never was!" 

[Bad Wolf]

If people were going to watch to see if Dillon was the abuser, she's ruined that.

But only on the later episodes, when she was just trying to push for her spin-off 

[ADoyle90815]

Out of curiosity, I looked up past seasons of that Marriage Boot Camp show, and one couple who was on a previous season was June and Sugar Bear from the cancelled Honey Boo Boo show. To me, that shows that Amy is only into it because she's a massive fame whore. Anyone else with actual marital issues would go to a private therapist and not air their dirty laundry.

Yes, and she sure wouldn't turn to Uncle Bobblehead for help!  He'd tell her to go play mini golf lay down and spread her legs and think of Jebus while she prayed to get pregnant - because then she could focus on her little blessings. 

[NakedKnees]

Ughhhhh leave it to a Duggar to take a good thing like "don't worry, my husband doesn't abuse me!" and turn it into "I'm too good to let myself be abused!"   Unsurprising but still sad.

Not gonna lie- I am interested in the dichotomy that I suspect Marriage Boot Camp will deepen for Amy. Her two options in the spotlight are continuing the human-incubator-for-Jesus freak show, or trying to keep up with the worst of worldly trashiness. It bums me out because I fear that she'll have some shitty experiences with stuff like Marriage Boot Camp (who wouldn't?) and run back to Boob's stupid mindset/bubble to recover.

WHY CAN'T ONE OF THESE YOUNG ADULTS JUST PURSUE HEALTHY NORMALCY?! So frustrating... I had a glimmer of hope for Amy on that one.

[The limit does not exist]

I watch a lot of trashy tv and just saw an ad for the new season with Famy so I quickly ran to FJ only to see everyone knew. 

I know we knew that Famy wasn't really like the Duggars but they have to bleep her in the previews which is surprising to me (I don't really follow her so maybe that's common).

Tara Reid was the one that showed up with a fake boyfriend on MBC. My favorite season was the first one with the Bridezillas. I'm still sad they cancelled that show!

That was my favorite too. I loved how every single person shot Kirsten, the crying singer, with paintballs. And when Rob made the stupid comment about how he would be needed after an apocalypse to father beautiful children and they cut to Dani in a talking head, saying, "Bye, Rob". I have that episode on my DVR and watch it when I need a laugh.
