Jinger Duggar is finally speaking out — in more ways than one.
If you’re a Duggar fan, you’ll know by now that Jinger has written a memoir that will hit bookstores later this month.
And like Prince Harry before her, Jinger piqued the interest of potential readers with scandalous promotional interviews.
Earlier this week, Jinger sat down with people magazine for an interview that delights fans, but may cause too much stress for her notoriously secretive parents.
Among the topics discussed was Jinger’s oldest brother, Josh Duggar, who is currently in prison on charges of receiving and possessing child pornography.
Most of the Duggars remain silent on the matter, and it is rumored that many members of Josh’s family believe that he is innocent and will be exonerated on appeal.
Fortunately, Jinger doesn’t believe that belief.
Jinger began this difficult conversation by promising to support Josh’s wife, Anna, as well as their seven children.
“I know he’s been through a lot and I’m just here for him whenever he needs help,” she told the outlet.
“It’s really sad to see the decision Josh’s brother has 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 truly change one day and know who Christ is and repent.”
Well, while most of the Duggars are still praying that Josh will be rectified, Jinger blames him and hopes that it’s not too late for her sister to change.
From there, she admitted that she hadn’t spoken to Josh in two years.
“I have no desire to talk to him,” Jinger revealed.
Elsewhere in the interview, Jinger opened up about her ultra-conservative upbringing.
To the surprise of many fans, she claimed that growing up in the Duggar household was like living in a cult.
“Fear is a big part of being a kid,” Vuolo told the outlet during a Zoom interview from his home in Los Angeles.
“I think I should only wear skirts and dresses to please God. Music with drums, the places I go or the wrong friends can cause harm.
Jinger explained that her parents spent much of their lives under cult leader and accused sexual predator Bill Gothard, who dictated the family’s beliefs through the Basic Principles of Life Institute.
“Fear makes me paralyzed with anxiety. I’m afraid of the outside world,” she told People.
“His teaching is very dangerous, and I see more and more of its effects in the lives of my friends and people who grew up in the community with me,” Jinger said.
“There are a lot of cult tendencies.”
Unsurprisingly, Jinger’s parents have yet to respond to her latest comments.
And we think that’s even scarier than what Jinger can reveal in her memoir.
