No Filter

For years, the Duggar family was one of America’s most famous and most controversial reality TV dynasties. Their show 19 Kids and Counting turned their strict religious beliefs and enormous family into entertainment. But behind the carefully controlled public image was a much darker reality. Amy Duggar King, known to viewers as the “rebel” or “crazy cousin,” grew up alongside the Duggars, but her childhood looked very different. Now she’s telling her story about what it was really like growing up on the fringes of that world, what she saw happening behind the scenes, and why she refuses to stay silent. In this episode of No Filter, Amy opens up about family loyalty, generational trauma, and how she’s reclaiming her voice after years of being told to be quiet.
