As you may have heard by now, Jinger Duggar has a memoir coming out later this month.
Twelve days before its release, the book has generated a lot of controversy, thanks to many interviews promoting Jinger’s nickname.
Taking a page from Prince Harry’s book, Jinger’s book will tackle some of the biggest scandals involving his controversial family.
And now he whetted the appetite of fans by dropping some shocking revelations in conversations with various media outlets.
Earlier this week, Jinger gave the most honest interview of her career people magazine.
The talk covered everything from Jinger’s spiritual journey to how she feels about her oldest sibling, Josh Duggar.
Josh is currently in prison serving a 12-year sentence for child pornography.
Most of the Duggars have remained silent on the matter, but Jinger has now spoken out to Josh, saying she believes her sister made a mistake and hasn’t spoken to him in over two years.
“I’m always here for Anna and the kids wherever they want to talk, or any way I can help and love them,” she said of her longtime husband Josh.
“I know he’s been through a lot and I’m just here for him if he needs help.”
At the time, she was one of the first Duggars to publicly condemn Josh’s actions.
“It’s very sad to see the decision Josh’s brother made, and my heart goes out to the victims and their families and everything they’ve been through,” Jinger said.
“I pray that Josh will really change one day and know who Christ is and repent,” she continued.
“I have no desire to speak to him,”
Elsewhere in the interview, Jinger opened up about her decision to ditch the infamous Duggar dress code and start wearing pants instead of the long skirts she required as she grew up.
“I think I should just wear skirts and dresses to please God,” she said people.
“And if I go out of what is expected of me, I will think that God will be displeased with me and may cause harm to me.”
Jinger then explained that the decision to wear pants in public was not an easy one.
“We’ve been discussing it with my parents for years,” he said.
“When I started wearing pants, I talked to them and told them, this is what I saw in the Bible.”
She concluded the interview by saying that she expected some people who read her memoir to be upset — and her family might be among them.
“People can say what they want about how you’ve changed and how you got there. But ultimately we’re just trying to be compassionate and hopefully patient with the family and share that,” Jinger said.
“I know that they can be in different places and have different conclusions, and at the end of the day they will travel and I will be in the mine and everyone can come to different places at different times,” he continued.
“We’re just trying to talk about things and sometimes just agree to disagree.”
Jinger’s Book, So It’s Absolutely Freeset for release on January 31.
