Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar are speaking out.The couple — who famously introduced the world to their large family in the TLC series — published a statement to their website on Thursday decrying Prime Video's forthcoming four-part docuseries «The recent 'documentary' that talks about our family is sad because in it we see the media and those with ill intentions hurting people we love,» the statement shared. «Like other families, ours too has experienced the joys and heartbreaks of life, just in a very public format.»«This 'documentary' paints so much and so many in a derogatory and sensationalized way because sadly that’s the direction of entertainment these days,» the statement continued.The documentary is set to examine, in part, the experiences of some of the Duggar children after being raised following the ultra-conservative lifestyle rules of disgraced pastor Bill Gothard and the Institute in Basic Life Principles, or IBLP.
Among those interviewed was Jill Duggar Dillard, who spoke out about her difficult experiences.«We have always believed that the best chance to repair damaged relationships, or to reconcile differences, is through love in a private setting,» the Duggars' statement shared. «We love every member of our family and will continue to do all we can to have a good relationship with each one.»«Through both the triumphs and the trials we have clung to our faith all the more and discovered that through the love and grace of Jesus, we find strength, comfort, and purpose,» the statement concluded.The documentary is set to examine how Gothard resigned from the IBLP in 2014, following over 30 claims of sexual harassment from former employees.
